AMUNDSEN TO
sun remain for p hours at an IN
Tarying altitude. The seXtant is pro-
vided with mirrors so arranged that
while looking direct at the line Of the
horizon. the observer can cause the
image OF the sun to move down until
1t touches the horizon Then a grad
uated circle shows him at a glance the
angle through which the suns image
has been moved and that gives its eIe-
Tat1on above the horizon. At sea the
visible horizon can be employed for
this purpose, but not on land. There,
the explorer, like captain Amundsen.
must use an artificial horizon. which
consists OF a dish filled with mer-
curry, which is carefully leveled and in
which the image of the sun is reflected
In this case the angle between the
ment and its image reflected in the
mercury is just twice the altitude OF
the sun above the real horizon.
Another Method.
Another way in which an explorer
could determine roughly whether he
were at the pole or not would be by
erecting a vertical rod i'm the snow
the length of its shadow as the sun
passed around the sky. II the shadow
always remained the same length he
would know that he was at the pole
but If the length varied during the
"A hours he could not be at the pole
the shortest would show him which
way the pole lay
1t is a curious fact, which may DOS
sibly have something to do with the
slight unsteadiness Of the earth on its
axis. that while the South pole lies fin
the midst Of a plateau Of land nearly
two miles high. the North pole is sit
uated in the center OF the basin OF q

sea, which is, in places at least. about
two miles deep. why this precisely
opposite state Of things exists it is
Impossible to say. one result Of II,
however, is that although it viii be
possible to erect at the South pole
mon unent. that might stand Tor ages
I us foundations were dug down
uOIhlng Of the kind could be done at
the North pole, because there the &C
Jual pole is at the bottom of the sea,
ana the explorer stands on roof Of
Iloaung ice which is continually in
SLOW movement, and gradually travel
ing away, While new ice taxes Its
place.
One Of the most significant things
or all is the fact that round the south
pole Just as around the North one,
wherever the naked rock can be
reached. yestiges are found OF Tor
mer age. when plants and animals IN
abundance flourished close ABOUT the
ends Of the earth's axis There must
have been a time. then when warm
climate existed around the poles.
Amundsen has simply corroDorated
Shackleton In finding indications OF
coal on the South pole continent But
II there is coal, there must nave been

coal is derived. and they could only
