THE DEVILS ROOF.
Treacherous Snow That Conceals
Crevasse In the Antarctic.

"Visitors to Switzerland alone can
appreciate the dangers of crevasses in
the ice sheets. But in the antarctic
they are more numerous and attain far
greater dimensions than In SwitZer-
land" said L. G. Bernacchi, the ex-
plorer, to a London Chronicle reporter
They lie hidden under the snow, and
very often the explorer does not know
that he Is on a crevasse until he has
Travelled some yards, and then he hears
q hollow sound. He will then wonder
whether to 60 on or turn back. but
experience has taught that the greater
danger may be incurred by turning
back.
"Crevasses are peculiar to the ice
sheets over land. They are nonexist-
ent at the north pole because there
the Ice is a frozen ocean. All ant
arctic expeditions have had to negoti-
ate the difficulties Of crevasses, and
sometimes their existence has COM
PEELED the explorer to make a detour
of many miles.
where land juts out into the sea,
or, to be more precise, into an ice
sheet in the antarctic, several Gre
vases VIII be found radiating from
this point. Some have been known to
be fifty yards wide and 1000 feet deep.
Instances are also found where a
sledge has sunk halfway through the
ice roof and has been rescued with
the greatest difficulty. In these cases
the explorers were luckily roped to the
sledge. but they had the uncomfortable
experience Of being suspended over a
deep chasm."
Captain Amundsen calls the treach-
erous snow which conceals a crevasse
"the devils roof" while both the late
Captain Scott and Sir Ernest Shackle-
ton have described it exhaustively.

HITTING THE HYPHEN.
One Would Hardly Think the Little
Mark Was So important.

There is enough energy wasted in
placing the hyphen in to-day" ito
night" and tomorrow" every week
day to haul a passenger train around
the world. 1t is claimed there are 2OO,-
100000 English writing people and
that they average to hyphenate these
words three times a day. Some may
not average to do this more than three
times a week and few perhaps not
three times a month: others write those
words and place the hyphens in them
scores Of times each day, especially
newspaper men, typewriters, authors.
business men. school children and the
like.
The acquiring Of sufficient power
from making these hyphens each day
to propel q passenger train around the
world is figured on the basis that II
takes half an ounce of energy to make
the stroke either with pen or pencil
and more for a typewriter that repre-
sents the hyphen. and this would total
100000 pounds Of energy. or suffi'
cient for the train.
1t takes an ounce Of energy to make
the hyphen on typewriting machine
and three to make 1t on typesetting
machine. and the statistician has fig
ured that typewriting and typesetting
machines alone take up sufficient en-
ergy each day to propel a batteship
from New York to the Panama canal.
All these figures were compiled as
an argument against using the hyphen
in these words. Many people do not,
but the majority do. Those who are
working toward greater efficiency in
everything claim that the hyphen in
these words is not at all necessary and
should be discontinued by every one
saving a great deal Of valuable time
and energy.-Philadelph Ledger.
