Queer Stamps for Polar Expeditions.
Most Arctic and Antarctic explorers
have taken a special supply of stamps
with them for their use. When the
Terra Nova left for New Zealand on
November 20, 1910, for instance, she
had on board $500 worth of New Yea
land penny stamps overprinted with
the words Victoria Land"
Capt. Scott was specially made post
master of the British Antarctic-an
appointment first held by Sir Ernest
Shackleton, i'll 1907.
The stamps used by the Shackletor
expedition were the ordinary New Zea-
land stamps surcharged with the
words King Edward VII Land" says
stamps were issued, and, though only
penny ones, they are now worth &c
shillings each unused and are getting
more valuable every year.
The stamps used by Capt Scott and
his expedition viii naturally become
extremely valuable.
The Australian Antarctic expedition,
under Mr.. Mawson, which also has
met with an unfortunate mishap, used
the stamps of Tasmania, cancelled
with special postmark. showing in
the center q figure of a penguin. The
stamps used by the Terra Nova ex-
petition were also cancelled by de
sign noticeable for the figure of a
penguin.
The German South Polar expedition
of 1911 had special stamp of its OVID
manufacture, showing picture of it
ship, the Deutschland.

SCIENTIST HAS NEW THEORY
AS TO ORIGIN OF LIFE

Berlin-Professor Branca, the fam
Gus paleontologist, has advanced what
he terms new theory of the origin of
life. He does not accept the theory
of spontaneous generation as a scien-
tific solution nor the Biblical explana-
ton which pre-supposes a miracle and
is therefore unacceptable. His theory
is that life is as old as the lifeless
matter of which the stars and planets
are composed. Life, he holds, has
been "vaccinated'' into the earth by
life germs from other planets through
meteorites.
The scientist maintains that this by
pothesis is strongly supported by in
dications of the existence of life in
all the planets.

DENVER FREEZES UP
Fuel Shortage Follows Storm and
Business Houses Close.
Freezing Weather Follows Snow
Wires Nearly All Stage
Lost in Mountains.

Denver-At o'clock Saturday
night the severe snow storm which has
completely tied up all forms of bust
ness in Denver and Central Colorado
came to an end, according to the Den
yer office of the government weather
bureau, and colder, clear weather was
forecast. With the freezing weather
came grave anxiety as to the main
tenance of the slender telegraph and
telephone communication which alone
has kept Denver in communication
with the outside world.
Wires are laden heavily with wet
snow, and freeze, according to tele-
graph companies, would cause many
of the lines to break under their heavy
burden.
The total snowfall during the storm
was given officially at 45.5 inches, or
2.52 inches precipitation. The snow
packed hard, and the government bu-
reau estimated 1926 inches was the
depth of the blanket that covered the
entire city of Denver. The fall of
snow within "a hours was 1875 inches,
or 1.08 inches precipitation.
Reports to the government bureau
show that the storm practically was
confined to Colorado and Northern
New Mexico.
One of the gravest hardships accom-
panying the storm was the extreme
shortage of coal. One of the largest
hostelries in Denver was forced to
close and several Office buildings have
exhausted their supply of fuel and
we're forced to close. Other hotels in
the city, in which are housed hundreds
of marooned tradespeople, fear they
will be unable to obtain fuel for the
next few days. Boulder, Colo, re-
ported total fall of 40 inches in the
surrounding country.

HEDGEH0GS AS CLEANERS

Backwoodsmen, when in camp dur
ing the winter entertain many strange
guests-hedgehogs among them. One
woodsman, on leaving camp on Sat
urday afternoon, used to neglect, pur-
posely to close the door of his shack
in order that the hedgehogs might en-
ter and clean his floor
Inasmuch as the principal constitu-
ents of the camp menu are pork and
beans, bacon and other dishes rich in
fat, considerable grease is spilled upon
the floor in the course Of a week, and
a hedgehog will risk his neck at any
time for a bit of fat.
: Just as soon, therefore, as this par
ticular camp was deserted by its oc-
cupants the spiny gluttons would
hasten In and begin to plane off the
surface Of the floor with their chisel-
shaped teeth, eating away all the
wood that held a trace of grease. On
his return to camp the owner could
sweep up and enjoy the comforts of
a clean house for another week.
The only serious objection to this
method of house cleaning lay in the
fact that 1t was necessary to lay new
camp floor rather frequently.
