Roald Amundsen, the discoverer of the
south pole, says that If the explorer
accustoms himself to guess the tenn
perature it is possible to estimate the
mean temperature for a month with
fair degree Of accuracy. This fact he
proved by means of guessing compe-
tition during the winter that his party
spent in camp on 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
went over the figures. and the man
who had guessed correctly the great
