Here's Still Another Pole.

The mania for discovering poles has
resulted in the finding Of another pole
on the otherwise obscure little island
of Dumet, situated near the mouth Of
the River Vilaine, In France The con
tinental pole, according to scientists
who have made accurate measure
ments of the earth's surface, Is located
somewhere on the island.
Alphonse Berget, professor at the
Oceanographic Institute, has just
made a series of studies that resulted
in the announced discovery of the
continental pole Repeated expert
ments led him to select the island at
the mouth of the Vilaine river as a
basis Of operations BY tracing a
large circle he divided the earth into
two hemispheres. The continental
hemisphere contains ASS per cent.

oceanic hemisphere contains sS.7 par
