1t often happens on sledge Journeys

party finds itself without any means De
determining the Temperature. nut
Road Amundsen, the discoverer of the
south pole. says that II the explorer
.accustoms himself to guess the tenn.
perature It Is possible to estimate the
mean temperature for a month With 4
fair degree Of accuracy. This fact he
proved by means Of a guessing connpe-
titiont during the winter that his party
spent In camp OF the great Ice barrier.
As each man came In in the morning
he gave his opinion Of the temperature
outside, and each guess was entered in
a book. At the end Of the month I
went W the figures. and the man
who had guessed correctly the great.

few cigars. Besides giving prActiceln

very good diversion with which % BE-
gin the day. When one day IL almost
exactly like another the first hour Of
the morning is likely. to be a little sour.
The competition engaged every ones
attention pleasantly Each mans en-
trance vas awaited with excitement,
and n man was not permitted to
make his guess in the hearing Of the
man who followed him. Therefore

"Now, stubberud," l would a

Stubberud had his own way Of cal.
culatng. which I never succeeded in
understanding. One day, for instance,
he looked about him and studied the
various faces. 1T isn't warm today"
he said at last, with a great deal of
conviction. l could Immediately en-
courage him with the assurance that
he had guessed correctly. It was go
degrees F.!
The monthly results very inter
esting. So far as I can remember, the
best performance in any month was
eight approximately correct guesses.
A man might keep remarkably close to
the actual temperature for along time
and then suddenly one day make an
error Of Is degrees.
The winners lei temperature
agreed within . few tenths of a degree
with the actual mean temperature Of
the month. and the mean Of all the
competitors' mean temperature gave a
result that was almost exactly correct.
So IL We had been so unlucky as to
lose all our Thermometers we should
not have been entirely ut a loss.

planting requires something more
than going into the hammocks,
getting the trees and then putting
them into the ground again. After
they are planted they must be
watered; after they are watered
they should be worked and the
suckers kept down. Frequently
trees die after being planted from

POWER OF THE OCTOPUS.
The Force Exerted by It's Formidable
Sucker Lined Arms.

The Force Exerted by Its Formidable
Sucker Lined Arms.
Both the octopus and the cuttlef1sh
have arms that are clothed with a
formidable array Of suckers, which are
wonderful pieces Of mechanism. When
the sucker comes into contact with an
object the central piston. having pre-
viously been raised SO as to complete
ly fill the cavity of the sucker, Is at
once withdrawn and a perfect vac
uum produced explaining the great te-
nacity with which the suckers cling.
They number upward Of 100 pairs to
each arm Of the octopus, and once they
obtain grip on the victim, unless the
arm Is actually torn away from the
body of the octopus, it is practically
impossible for it's prey to disentangle
itself.
In addition to these suckers the oct0-
pus has powerful pair of jaws, shap-
ed like the beak of parrot, behind
which Is a formidable armor plated
tongue used as a rasping organ. The
octopus will attack and kill crabs end
Holsters Of considerable size, ripping
open the body by means of its power
full jaws and devouring the contents.
In spite of being a creature of such
awe inspiring looks the octopus has
several enemies in various species Of
whales. sharks and conger cells. In
fact. the latter are particularly fond
Of devouring the smaller octopuses.
Conger cells hunt for the octopus and
when found proceed to browse on its
limbs. The octopus tries to hug the
slippery, Shiny conger tight. but in
vain, and, finding its limbs growing
less, discharges its ink in the face of
the foe and under cover of the turbid
water beats hasty retreat. It is to
escape the too pressing attention of
its foes that the octopus possesses the
power Of changing its color to CORE
spond with that of its surroundings.

GRAND DECEMBER,
Weather Report Gives Month as One
of Finest on Record.

The weather report for December
issued today by T. B. Jennings, sec
ton director, covering the entire state
of Kansas, shows that the month was
an unusually mild and pleasant one;
in fact, one of the most delightful on
record.
The report reads:
December, 1912, was one of the
Kansas. A summary of the records
of 1925 weather bureau stations, Iocat-
ed in practically every county of the
state, shows that but of the past 25
DEFENDERS have averaged miIder, none
have had fewer days with precipita-
ton, and with the exception of De-
cember, 1903, no December on record
in the state has enjoyed as much sun
shine as this month. However, the
average wind velocity was considerably
above the normal.
There was more sunshine received
in Kansas during the two months of
November and December, 1912, than
in any two closing months of any pre-
ViouS year on record.
The average temperature of the
month was 34.9 degrees, which is IA
degrees above normal. Temperatures
ranged from 1 degree to 6 degrees
above normal in all counties except
few in the central and southwestern
portions where there was a slight de-
ficiency. The highest temperature re-
ported was 20 degrees on the 14th at
Liberal and Plains, the lowest was
degrees below zero at Oketo- Higher
temperatures that the highest of this
month have often occurred in previous
Decembers, but there have been only
6 years of the past 25 when Deem
Der has passed without a lower tenn
perature than 2 degrees below zero at
some station in Kansas.
The average precipitation for the
state was OBS inch, which is 0.49 inch
below normal OF the 125 stations re-
I,n
normal amount of precipitation, and
cipitation at any station after the LIST.
From half an inch to an inch of pre-
cipitation fell over the southeastern
quarter of the state and in the ex-
IRENE northeastern counties. The
central counties received less than half
an inch and very few counties in the
central, western and southwestern
parts of the state that received any
measurable precipitation
There was very little snowfall dur
ing the month. Most stations reported
less than a measurable amount and
many stations in the eastern part of
the state received none.
Over most of southwestern Kansas
the total precipitation for the three
months of October, November and De-
cernber, 1912, has been less than 1
inch and there has been a deficiency
of so per cent. in the precipitation
over the western third of the state
during that period. This deficiency in
precipitation, however, has not extend
ed to the northern tier of counties
west of Phillips.

McEIheny Inquest Adjourns

CrOsley Demands Charge or

Louisburg, Kan, JAN 9--After
three hours of questioning yesterday,
Charles H. Crosley was excused from
testifying further in the inquest into
was killed here October 4. Before he
left the stand, Crosley demanded that
the jury either charge him with muir
der or completely exonerate him.
81 have my reputation at stake in
this and also the good name of mem
bers of my family he said, land I
insist that your verdict charge me with
the crime or clear my name.
Several other witnesses were called
after Crosley finished and then it was
announced that the inquest would be
adjourned, subject to the call of the
coroner. This is believed to indicate
that some new testimony has been un-
covered.
who spent several days in Arkansas
investigating clews, started on a sec
ond similar trip.
He Was a Good Witness.
Crosley was a good witness. He de-
tailed his every movement the night
of the murder and his alibi scarcely
was questioned. He emphatically de-
clared that he had enVer threatened
ii kill McE1heny and branded as false
the rumor that anyone had ever heard
him say that he would kill any person.
He said McElheny was one of his best
friends and he would rather have
been killed himself than live under
the suspicion that has existed among
a few persons for the last two months.
Unless the county attorneys trip
develops a new lead it is believed that
the jury'S verdict will be 1.-The de-
of a person or parties unknown" as
little has materialized to bear out the
sensational rumors that led to the call
ing of the inquest.

acid poisoning, the acid having been
taken with suicidal intent, was the
decision of Coroner H. w Bomgardner
last night. GRADER is said to have pur-
chased two ounces of the acid at
Campbell's drug store yesterday morn
ing. He drank about hz1f an ounce
of it, dying Immediately.
An effort was made on the part OF
relatives of the dead man to conceal
the cause of death. To investigators
sent by Judge George H. Whitcomb
of the district court the assertion was
made that death had been due to a
ton that the death had been other
than from natural causes to reach
Coroner Bomgardner was given by a
reporter for the State Journal.

the coroner declared.
He Immediately began an investiga-

was cause for suspicion. 1t was not
was able to complete his investiga-
TONS he having been a witness in the
Moody case prior to that time.
Ill health and consequent despond-
ency were the reasons ascribed to the
suicide. GRADER had been living alone
with his father, j. j. GRADER, a widow
err. at thier home, SIS North Van Buren,
street. He has been unable to work
for some time.
Neighbors of the GRADERS declared
the young man spent the night be-
fore his death out, and was brought
home about 4 o'clock IN the morning.
He is said to have been in bad shape
at that time. Shortly before his death
his father declared he went out of the
house and was gone ten minutes. An
investigation showed he had paid a
visit to the drug store and had pur-
chased the poison with which he ended
his life. Returning he declared he
was not feeling well and went into
his room. Fifteen minutes later with
out a sound having been made to indi-
cate a death struggle, he was found
dead.
