In office give the best service at their COM
mand and that they acted from a patriotic
duty and loyalty to their localities.
Carrot Logan, an assessor from Beverly
city, spoke of the reductions made in the
assessments on appeal to the State Board.
He felt that such changes acted detri-
mentally to the communities, as it fixed
values on other properties in the locality.
10 this MIR. Jess. who Is member of
the State Board, said when appeals come
before that body the evidence is all on one
side, as the communities do not seem to
think it worth while to be represented.
This raised suggestion that 1t might be
a good idea to have legislation making it
mandatory for cities and townships to
have representatives at appeals.
Joseph W. B. Jennings, assessor from
Shamong, spoke on the subject of assess
ing personal property. He did not think
the idea of unit system for assessment
was good one, as there were too many
local conditions to contend with. A sug-
gestion had been offered that assessors be
appointed Taking the subject of per-
sonal property, Mr.. Jennings, who comes
from an agricultural district, said he did
not think it would be good thing to call
COW just what 1t was or simply assess
lone horse, so much" One COW might
look very fine to an ordinary eye but a
practiced man would know that one look
ing not so sleek and fat would be worth
more money. A fne-looking horse was
not always the most valuable animal.
A suggestion was made that assessors
might be appointed and then assigned to
districts where they were strangers, but
this did not take very well, the idea being
expressed that the assessor living in the
locality where he was compelled to work
knew the values better than he would in
strange district.
From here the Commission went to Toms
River and then to Woodbury.. At Cam
den, prior to the meeting at the place last
mentioned, the County Board of Taxation
favored giving more power over assessors,
and also advocated the abolition of all ex-
emptions. Lodges, charitable institutions,
churches, etc., now are exempted and the
result is great loss to the counties.

Causes Of Tempests.

Science attributes tempests to q
general internal movement of de-
tached masses Of aerial projectiles,
which traverse the general mass OF
the atmosphere like the discharge
from a mitrailleuse. Even in time
of calm the movements Of the air
may be complex. During periods of
excessive heat puffs Of air hot as
from a furnace strike the exposed
portions of the human body. The air
mass at normal temperature holds
heat as the organism holds the cell.
Such phenomena as the projectiles of
heat are frequently produced several
times within the period of few min
utes. The elastic condition Of the air
Is not at all like the surrounding at
mospherical strata. The heated air
is sent out in projectilelike pulsations.
The pulsations are produced not in
high regions alone.

Bees Stick to One Flower.

It is usually supposed, especially by
the poets, that bees sip sweets indis-
criminately from many flower All
bees, including the honey bee, show a
strong tendency in collecting both
nectar and pollen to be constant to
one species of flower. This is mani

sects and flowers. In the case of a
number of bees flying for only small
part of the season this habit has be-
come so specialized that they visit
only one or a few allied species of
flowers, which offer an abundance Of
pollen and nectar.

Avoid Round Shoulders.

Arc you letting yourself sag BIT
ct the shoulders? Don't, if you want
to keep either young or we'll. There Is
nothing SO fatally easy as to grow
round-shouldered. Keep q sharp
watch on yourself to prevent it. Each
morning stand up against the jamh
Of q door and see if you have begun
to sag. Also walk around your room
each day with piece of broomstick
or short umbrella under your arm and
brought across the back. This keeps
the chest up and head well poised,
Deep-breathing exercises, whenever
you think Of them, will help ward of
those round shoulders, also making a
practice to work with the chest up.
This last Is the simplest Of all pre-
ventives, for it it is always practiced

We marched north, found the ponies,
and made desperate efforts to save
them. Bowers and Oates risked
long detour over the pack and led the
animals over many jumps while the
remainder of us dug a trench to the
lower part of the barrier The edges
of the foes were high above water and
very uneven. Killer whales hung
about within few yards. The ponies
failing at the jump were irretrievably
lost. One pony only won through.
The pack was moving again as we
left it and drifted clear to the north
More Ponies Lost.
On March 4 we ascended hills east
of Castle Rock, and on the fifth the
party with the two remaining ponies
and the dog teams was safely housed
at Hut Point By this incident We
lost three of our strongest ponies.
This was severe blow to the expe-
dition, but not enough to wreck its
plans if the remaining animals could
be preserved. The heavy swell
which caused this disaster broke
more than ten miles of sea ice, large
fragments from the barrier, and two
miles of glacier tonsue-a feature
which had remained otherwise un-
changed since discovery, in 1902. The
Hut was found almost completely fill
ed with hard snow, the windows
broken and the door unhinged. With
much labor we cleared and repaired
it. 1t then afforded good shelter
While forced to wait for the sea
breeze to blow over We settled down
to very primitive life.
Preparing For the Winter.
On March II Lieutenant Evans led
a party to Corner Camp, completing
the depot arrangements for the COM
ing season. The temperature at the
barrier had already fallen to minus
40 degrees. Throughout the month
ice continually formed over the sea
but the strong winds quickly drove il
out. After March % the ice remain
ed fast in the sheltered bays but
continued to drive out of the sound.
Huge land ice falls on the southwest
slopes of Mount Erebus prevented any
possibility of returning to Cape Evans
by land, but with the freezing of the
bays | decided to make an attempt
to reach the station, partly by land
and partly by sea ice. With eight
companions l started, on April II, and
although caught by storm on sea
ice, we reached Cape Evans early on
the 18th. We found the station,
which had been left in Simpsons
charge, in excellent order, and ar
rangements for comfort remarkably
perfect. Numerous self-recording in
struments We're in full swing, and all
records complete to date. All the
news was good except the loss of one
of the nine remaining ponies and one
dog. During our absence there had
been much wind, the mean velocity
for two months being twenty-four
miles per hour. For 19 percent of the
whole time the wind had been over
gale in strength. All observations
pointed to an exceptionally severe
season.
On April IT I returned to Hut Point
with fresh sledge party carrying
supplies and stores. AS it was i'm
possible for animals to travel on the
route taken, l left Meares and five
others in charge of those at Hut Point
and again returned to Cape Evans on
April 80. Sea ice continued to drive
out of sounds until the first week in
May. 1t was not until May 10, three
weeks after the sun had gone that
the men and animals left Hut Point
and safely returned to the main sta
