Polar Discovery.

One Of the strangest dramas in the
whole story OF exploration has just
been played to a finish, says an ex-
change. In two and a half years both
the north pole and the south pole,
after centuries Of effort and sacrifice,
have been reached.
We all know what Is meant by the
poles. There IL no actual pole, moth
ing protruding from the earth. The
earth is constantly revolving, and we
say that It revolves upon its axis
that is. an imaginary line running
from north to south through the CEN
ter OF the earth. The two poles are
the points at the earth's surface
where this imaginary line. or axis, is
supposed to terminate. AS the suns
rays strike the poles at a considerable
angle their heating power is less than
at other parts Of the earth, and so the
regions round about the poles have
the characteristics Of extreme frigid-
ity.

GoBBLER is MATCHING EGGS
After Driving Guinea Hen From Nest
He Takes and Keeps Her
Place.

Edwardsville, nl.-A huge white
turkey gobbler on the Gashing farm.
owned by Charles Obert and situated
about twelve miles northeast of here.
has taken upon himself the task OF
Matching a sitting Of guinea eggs, and
that. too. against the will OF the
guinea hen which formerly held pos
session of the nest which the turkey
now occupies.
Several days ago the gobbler, after
a careful investigation Of the matter,
decided that he would like to try his
skill at Matching guinea eggs and pro
ceeded Immediately and without cere-
mony to chase the hen from the nest.
Since that time the turkey has held
possession and has stuck to the nest
closer than even the guinea hen would
have done.
Farmers in the vicinity are watch
ing the outcome Of this motherly ac-
ton on the part Of the bird with con-
siderable interest As the time fer
Matching guinea eggs is 2S days, they
will probably have to wait some time
yet. but the question of whether or
not the turkey will continue to be o
mother to the guineas after the eggs
hatch Is causing much speculation
among people near the Gashing farm.
Guidon Wagner. farmer residing
southeast Of BelleviIle. reports that a
chicken was Matched by quail on his
farm and that the chick Is exhibiting
the same wild disposition as the game
bird.
