POLAR CONTRASTS
The Arctic Is a Deep Cup, the
Antarctic a Huge Bulb.

The earth whirls around an invisible
axle. one end of which turns the deep
cup of the Arctic ocean, while the 9TH
er spins the huge white button of the
antarctic continent.
In the north the ice floats on the sea
like a moving floor. In the south it
rests like a bossy shield on vast
dome of uplifted rock.
Close around the edges of the ice
world. both north and south and even
within it, animals and plants are found
living. But in their species these in.
habitants of the opposite poles are as
different as the poles themselves.
On and around the antarctic CONT
nent there are several species of birds.
notably albatrosses. petrels and the

with their black coats, white waist
coats and ludicrously polite bearing.
There are also whales and seals. but
the human form is absent, except so
far as 1t is mimicked to the eye of
fancy by the stately penguins. The
plants are scanty in number, although
some bear flowers.
Within the arctic circle the scene is
more animated. There are many arc
tic plants, some bearing brilliant flow
ers. Yellow buttercups and arctic pop
pies warm the heart of the explorer.
The saxifrage puts out its starry
blossoms within ~ degrees of the pole
There are so many other species that
a very attractive bouquet of arctic
flowers may be formed The animal
life of the arctic is also relatively abun
dant. In the sea is the world circling

enjoyed a vogue about ten years ago.
A certain collector had bought from
an art dealer marine represented az
genuine Achenbach. Afterward it
was pronounced to be copy. The
buyer brought an action against the
dealer. who turned the tables by de-
cIaring that his picture was genuine
and the other was copy
Achenbach himself was summoned
by the court to tell which was which.
Amazed at the similarity of the two
paintings. the artist gazed at them for
a long time. inspected them closely
front and back and then frankly adj
mitted that he could not tell which was

which, in turn, are governed by the
elevation. The sea life is similar in
both cases-w whales and seals are the
characteristic animals that inhabit the
polar waters. But the great elevation

neut keeps the mean temperature at
a low level and drives life away from
the snow buried land The atmosphere
over the south pole manufactures snow
and ice without limit. As the burden
piles higher at the center it pushes out
ward on all sides down the slopes of
the continent until it reaches the Dor
derinG sea.
But things have not always been
thus. The recent explorers of the ant
arctic have found remains Of ancient
life, recalling the life of the temperate
zones and the tropics The coal de-
posits of the antarctic continent are
believed TO be of vast extent They
could not have been formed under pres
ent conditions They consist of the
fossilized remains of immense forests.
They could not have been transported
to their present location either byland
or water. They must have been form
ed where they are. Consequently the
antarctic regions must once have en-
Joyed n mild climate and atmospheric
conditions very favorable to an abun-
dant vegetation.
But if there was an abundance of
vegetation there is every reason to be-
lieve that there was an abundance of
animal life also. At that time the south
pole, instead of being elevated many
thousands of feet above the sea, may
have lain at low level That. in it
self, would raise the mean tempera-
ture. but it would not be sufficient to
produce all the difference between
present and past conditions of antarc.
tic life
Either the sun was hotter in that
distant time, or the composition or the
atmosphere was such as to retain
more heat. or the inclination of the
earths axis was different from what
it is today, or, as some have imagined.
the solar system was then passing
through warmer region of space.
Whatever the cause may have been,
there is no doubt that there was a
time when the lands around both the
poles We're habitabe by animals and
plants. most of which have since been

PICTURE SIGNATURES.
Difficult to Find Sometimes and Not
Always Reliable.

Always Reliable.
Many of the works of the old mas
tiers are not signed. Experts rarely
rely on signatures alone in determin-
ing the authenticity of an old work.
but trust rather to their knowledge of
the painters technic.
False signatures can be easily de-
tected. Spirits of wine or turpentine
viii usually remove a name of later
date than the painting In the course
of time signatures often become very
difficult to find. Painted originally in
a shade slightly lighter than the
ground. perhaps. they sink in, darken
and merge into the ground color or
they are almost rubbed away by sue
cessive cleanings. Recognizable one
day In specially favorable light. they
may not be visible again for weeks.
Experts speak of "willo' the wisp"
signatures. and many collectors have
encountered accidental strokes and
cracks that tantalizirZly suggest a sig
nature. though 1t can never be made
definite. On the other hand, there
have been remarkable cases of such
marks. after careful study. resolving
themselves into a famous name.
Sometimes the painters name is
