FACTS ABOUT THE SOUTH POLE.

The south pole is situated on antar-
tic continent larger than the United
States and with area OF 5000, 900
miles.
The pole is on q tableland about
10, 900 feet above sea level.
The great ice barrier is Q glacier
700 miles wide and hundreds Of miles
broad in places; it varies from 100 to
300 feet in height.
The breaking off of portions OF this
ice barrier each summer produces the
greatest crop Of iceburgs in the world.
Mount Erebus belches steam and
lava within the circle of eternal ice.
It is probable that the south pole
itself is buried under ice 5000 feet
thick.
Vegetation in the antartic conti-
nent consists entirely OF moss; the
land animal life is limited to spe-
cies of wingless insect very prim-
tive in form.
The only human beings in the ant.
artic continent are explorers; no
traces of native inhabitants have
ever been discovered.
Penguins. great, awkward birds,
exist along the coast in some parts.
There is little snow on the lower
plateau, necessitating explorers car
rying tents; the surface is smooth
ice.
Deep crevices in the Beardmore
glacier render travel up it perilous.
Scientists claim that centuries ago
the south pole was tropical region
filled with plant and animal life.
They also maintain that the pole
is never in the same place for two
consecutive years, that the earth
wobbles around considerably each
twelve months.
Temperature at the pole 9.4 degrees
below zero.
Antarctic continent apparently un-
inhabitable. as Amundsen makes no
mention of meeting natives.
Lowest temperature on expedition
Is degrees below zero.
New mountain ranges and vast
territory discovered and named.
The ground near the pole is des-
-cribed as feeling hollow and foot
steps sound as though the men in
the party were walking upon empty
barrels.

the poor men received from the cor
poration of millions of dollars-the
American Woolen Company. Here
is the notice of increased wages:

and a half cents hourly are given in
creases of two cents hourly. Those
receiving from 8 IL to 10 cents hour
ly are given an increase of l 3-4 cents;
employees formerly receiving 10 and
II receive increases OF l IL cents
hourly and those receiving II and II

"but when It ID removed by contrac-
tors we do. you bet"
Within an hour the commissioner Of
streets received q letter from Mayor
Gaynor. who. as 1t happened. was the
curious citizen. directing that all driv.
ers employed by the city be forthwith
ordered to shovel snow.
On another occasion on q hot July
day az the mayor was walking about
the city he noticed that many horses
were suffering from overlooking. He
at once notified the police commission
Sr to instruct the force to b more

cruelty to animals 'and to give the
horse the benefit Of every doubt"
These are two Of the practical things
which have resulted from the mayors
fondness for walking and his habit Of
always keeping his eyes open. Every
day practically. regardless Of weather.

FEMININE PHILOSOPHY.

If a girl wants to get old real quick,
let her marry.
The word patience has no place in
the lexicon of true love.
Peace of mind is quite often the
result of piece of mind.
The man who attempts to make
logic OF love is hopelessly lost.
Paragraphs in their piquancv often
put us in mind of a rain-swept hen
merry.
Old Father Time can never be ac-
cused of gallantry; he tells so on a
woman.
Every fool knows whom he hates,
but it takes wise man to tell whom
he loves.
1t takes several good women to re-
deem the man that one bad woman
has ruined.
The only game in the world in
which one or the other always cheats
is matrimony.
Women often mistake audacious-
ness for bravery in men, and admire
it with equal fervor.
If there were no old maids in the
world there would be nobody for the
married women to envy.
The girl with secret is like boy
with his first gun. Neither is salts
fed until noise is made.
Bachelors quite naturally think
the biggest fool of all is the man whC
attends his own wedding.
Shakespeare says young man
married is man that's marred, and
he should have said Scared.
Some women constantly labor un.
der the halucination that they must
be contrary to be appreciated.
If all men who thought themselves
funny we're really so. there would be
mere women who would laugh.
Probably the serious opposition to
divorce courts arises from the knOwl-
edge that widows are dangerous.
No. Maudie, dear; there is no such
book as "Reveries of q Married Man."
they never have time for reveries.
The girl who has no romance or
sentiment in her makeup is like the
pretty flower which has no prefume.
The practical woman also has her
uses in the world, if it is nothing
more than to take the conceit out Of
q man.
Fate plays another of its strange
tricks when it doesn't place mules
in the domestic service of q stubborn
woman.
The most pitiful object in the world
is brave, ambitious young fellow
made senseless and sour by unre-
Quilted love.
Women. the most interesting vol
umes in life's library whose bindings
sometimes becomes mOnOtOnous but
whose contents never.
Most girls believe that they will
never succeed in love unless they
create the impression that several
men are in love with them.
Matrimony has been described as
the high sea for which no compass
has yet been invented, still the world
is full Of adventurous navigators.
The average husband soon learns
that he's simply to play the part Of q
pin-cushion, in which his wife sticks
all the darning needles that she
doesn't use in his socks.

- NE morning this winter a long
line Of wagons were drawn
~ up In a New York street
waiting to be loaded with
snow which had fallen during the
night. While the street cleaners were
shoveling the snow into the wagons
the drivers were standing around gos-
siplng. A sharp eyed. inquisitive Pc
destrlan stepped up to one Of the
drivers and inquired In an apparently
casual way. Don't you men shovel
snow too?"
"Not when the city removes It." re-
piled the man. with a merry laugh.

President Taft added a new chapter
to the history of the Harvester trust,

trust, after George W. Perkins, one
of its directors, and now a Roosevelt
supporter. had asked that the trust
be not taken into the court, intimat-
ed that Charles J. Bonaparte, attor-
ney general under Roosevelt was
mistaken" when he said that he
(Taft was present at a cabinet
meeting, which decided against
prosecution and said the diary of
Herbert x. Smith, then and now
head of the bureau of corporations,

which Roosevelt has made against
him, declaring that in his turn in
the White House, there has been
more progressive legislation enacted,
than in any term since the Civil war.
