Flammarion Discusses a Discovery BIZ
the Scott Expedition.
Paris.-Camille Flammarion, the eel
ebrated astronomer discussing the
statement that the Scott expedition
found evidence that the south pole had
twice been a temperate zone. said:
'"The evidence evidently relates tt
the discovery of fossils of fauna and
flora such as have already been found
m the arctic regions. These are taken
by one school of theorists as proving
that the poles once occupied the posi-.
ton of the equator and enjoyed warm
climate, while the two opposite points
now on the equator, were frozen poles.
1.-The theory is that the obliquity OF
the earth, which, as every one knows,
travels around the sun at an angle of
% degrees. is liable to great variation.
Thus from time to time during the
millions of years the earth has existed
the poles have changed from place to
place on the earth's surface ~ So
But this is only theory and one
which the exact science Of astronomy
does not so far support" -

ONE CAT UPSET
new REPUBLIC
Scandd|ized Mount AthoS by
Raising a Family.

Saloniki. European Turkey. - Eu-
ropes latest and smallest republic has
grown out of the Balkan war. 1t is
Mount Athos. the sacred peninsula
near Saloniki.
1t contains nothing but twenty-one
ancient monasteries founded by Rus
slams. Greeks, Bulgarians and Servians
in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
All overhang the cliffs of the Aegean
sea, and the monks go up and down
from the shores in baskets worked on
pulleys by their brethren
So sacred is the peninsula that no
female is allowed therein. not even a
COW or a hen.
The abbot of the older Russian mon
astery kept cat, which recently dis
graced the island by having kittens.
All the monks held a court to try her,
declared she had broken their sacred
rules and had her drowned.
Some Of the monasteries are very
>strict and never allow the inmates to
wash even their hands or faces or to
go outside the gardens. which are said
to be very beautiful. Others contain
the Oldest Greek manuscripts in the
world. supposed to be able to fill gaps
in the Epistles and other, parts Of the
New Testament. ....
This idea of making Mount Athos q
republic came from Russia. anxious to
keep her influence in Macedonia. and
is unwelcome to Bulgaria. tired of tu-
telage and used to considering the
church as a political factor, now of
less Importance than before. But the
other allies pressed Russia's proposal
because they felt jealous of Bulgarian
domination in that sacred territory.
Delegates from all the allied states
will meet in Saloniki under the Rus
sian consul and draw up the new re-
public's laws. The patriarch of the
Bulgarians, who hitherto has lived in
Constantinople, probably will live on
the peninsula. .r.

she always has been the responsible
head of the family. Since 1895 she
has been an employee of the park de-

Her father was Colonel George
Southwell, British officer. who was
stationed in the year 1912 in Caffraria,
South Africa. His greatest friend. an
other officer, was Sir James Kady,
who had been married at about the
same time as Colonel Southwell. The
two men agreed that whoever had the
first child should name him after the
other. Colonel Southwell's wife was
proud in the knowledge that she was
soon to let him fulfill his part of the
bargain.
There was fighting near the station
in those days. and the colonel's wife
drove out with some friends to OBJ
serve the fighting from a distance. It
was while she was there that she was
taken i'll. An army tent was hastily
pitched, and her child was born. a girl
