TEMPERATURE ONCE UNIFORM
early Condition Of the Globe That 40
counts for Deposits Of Coal Near
South Pole.

As general Statement, il may be
said that the suns rays heat the
earth and that the earth heats the
air, but the extent to which this goes
will depend much on the clearness of
the atmosphere The clearer this is
the more the rays Of the sun will
pass through it without losing their
heat. Obviously, the cloudier or
Thicker the air the more the sun rays
will be absorbed.
Conversely, on the brightest nights
the earth will lose the most heat
from radiation, and, becoming cold
or than the atmosphere, moisture
from this will be deposited in the
form of dew.
In the younger days of the earth,
when the seas were boiling hot, and
perhaps for millions Of years after
ward while they were gradually
growing cooler, there must have been
an atmosphere so surcharged with
steam as to prevent completely the
passage inward of any heat rays, or
outward radiation. As a necessary
consequence of these conditions there
is supposed to have been one uni
formly hot temperature all over the
earth, there being no difference be-
tween what are now the tropics and
the arctic regions.
When the temperature had fallen
sufficiently to allow the development
of the gigantic ferns that were to
form our coal deposits, things grew
as luxuriously in what we now call
the temperate and arctic zones as at
the equator. Consequently, there
was nothing very surprising at the
discovery of vast deposit of coal
by Lieutenant Shackleton not far
distant from the south pole.

HINTS FOR THE HOSTESS
Attractive Way to Serve Banana Ice
cream-How to Combine April
cots With Curacao.

Banana ice cream has quite a fes
tive appearance when served In sher
bet glasses and decorated with frosted
slices of bananas and preserved cher
ries, which should be stoned and en-
tireiy freed from superfiuous Juice
To frost the bananas, dip the slicei
into thin white icing similar to q
cake frosting. The slices should bS
merely glazed and not heavily coated
II 1t Is inconvenient to frost the ban
anas the slices may be used plain.
Snowballs of ice cream are very at
tractive when served with snowflake
Of cake on wintry night when real
snow is flying out of doors. To pre-
pare the cake. cut out rounds of white
lady cake, free It from crust and dir
1t into cocoanut frosting. II little
cocoanut 10 sprinkled over the ic(
cream balls the two will look so much
alike that one can hardly tell the dif
ference.
A famous chef served apricots with
Curacao. Remove the Juice from Z
pint can Of apricots. Add a table
spoonful Of sugar and the rind of an
orange to the juice. Let It boil ter
minutes; then remove the rind. Still
in two tablespoonfuls Of Curacao enc
pour II over the fruit. Serve wher
cold.
A few spoonfuls Of Curacao add Q
delicate flavor to sliced and sugare<
oranges.
Almond fsvoring is very nice with
boiled dumplings and batter pudding,
in which cherries or peaches are used
Do not. however, have more than

Washington. Dec. s.-The battleshir
Maine was blown up IN Havana harbOr
by an explosion from the outside. This
is the gist Of a short statement issued by
the navy department today based on find
ings made by the joint army and navy
board which spent several months IN

The statement follows:
''The board finds that the injuries 10
the bottom OF the Maine were caused by
the explosion OF a charge OF low form ~
explosives exterior TO the ship between

This resulted in igniting and exploding
the contents OF the six-inch reserve

ing a large quantity of black powder.
The more or less complete explosion OF
the contents OF the remaining forward
magazine followed. The magazine eN-
plosion resulted in the destruction OF the

The writer fails to see what the

I'D YER Using Talks
BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

kind of advertising is just what ex-
pected it would be. Publishers have
Written in that they do not approve 9f
piano contest advertising and exclude
such advertising from their columns
Some of the phrases, quoted from the
publishers, are as follows:
4 take pleasure in advising that we
discontinued piano contest advertlsllig
over two years ago. We were among
the pioneers along this line
we have eliminated piano picture ana
word ruzzle advertisements and never
again will we allow a lot of dealers II
cheap pianos to impose on our readers
with their cheap coupon schemes
I'VE have taken a stand against all
piano puzzle advertising and in so doing
have aroused the enmity of one house IN
particular but we have felt thoroughly
Justified in the stand we have taken and
# was with a great deal of satisfaction
that we read your story in your series
We also took pains to see that all the
local piano houses had their attention
called to it when it appeared
This suffices to show the attitude OF
the pubIishers-one in each of sixty-four
cities-who are standing for the peter
