ALI IN THE WORLD.

In a Wall street bank the other day
the conversation turned on senseless
runs of depositors on banking instiu-
tons. and from what little things
these runs sometimes start, An Ohio
man told Of an incident when that
state first began to make calls on he
incorporated banks for statements Of
their condition.
These calls were made in the same
way as those on the national banks
and were 'at the close of business
on the specified dates. The first time
a bank in a southern Ohio town sent
out its statements with this line. there
was a big rush Of depositors to draw
out their cash. The officers of the
bank stood the run for a time and
then called in some Of the depositors
and asked them what was wrong. The
dcposttors told the bank officials that
they had heard the banks was going
out Of business and they had decided
they a better get their money.
1t was some time before the off,
Gals could discover the cause Of the
report. but finally an old farmer to
prove his point. showed the line Of 'at
the close of business" in the ban nix
statement. The run was stopped with
out damage but when the cause of it
was reported to the state officials. the
form OF statement was changed to read
a the commencement Of business
on the date of the call, and it re.
manned that way until a short time
ago when the Ohio banking depart
ment made its form of statement uni.
form with that of the national banks.

THE PROBLEMS OF THE POLES

Minneapolis Journal: The attain
ment of the south pole by Amundsen.
celebrated recently at Il dinner of the
Geographical society at Washington,
led Admiral Peary to comment on the
striking differences between the two
poles, both of which have been visited
by man.
The north pole, though at the m
ter of 4 hemisphere of land, is itself
situated in an ocean. The south pole
Is in the center of a hemisphere of wa
ter, yet is itself situated on a conti-
nent. The explorer at the north pole
stands on the surface Of an ocean two
miles deep. The explorer at the south
pole stands on a great ~snow-capped
continent two miles above sea level.
Human life is found within seven
hundred miles of the north pole. but
not within two thousand miles of the
south pole. Animal and vegetable
life differ as notably. The most north
erly Arctic lands exhibit a compare
tive abundance of animal life-musk
~, polar bear, reindeer. wolf, fox and
land birds as we'll as forms Of insect
life. For a few short weeks in sum-
mer there are numbers of brilliant
flowers.
On the Antarctic continent, there is
absolutely no animal or vegetable life,
though two or three species Of sea
birds breed during a few weeks on the
coasts.
These differences are not momentous
but they are significant Of something
that man must still find out about
these regions. Admiral Peary sug-
Rests that. though the old mysteries
Of the poles have been cleared away.
much remains to be done. The "Open
Polar Sea" is vanished. Gone are
"Symmes' Hole" "the Garden Of
Eden" "the Great Crater Basin" But
with the disappearance of these myths
has come more serious work in dis
covering just what there is in the Po-
lar regions. He suggests that the Cni-
ted States establish u station at the
south pole for one years continuous
observations in various fields of sci
entiic investigation. For another
thing. he believes a specially prepar-
ed ship should be sent out to survey.

tinent.
Explorers are no longer satisfied
merely to plant a flag. They must so
back again and again into those in
hospitablc regions to pry into their
secrets.

%RONl.ANoFI' RUIZ.

Russia has just celebrated the COM
rletlon of three centuries Of Roman
of rule over the great Slavic empire.
II was 500 years ago that the first
prince of the house became the SOW
ereign of the Russian people. then a
comparatively small and weak as well
as backward nation.
Even in America. this period does
not seem impressively long. The first
settlements were made in Virginia :,
little longer ago.. New York is almost
as old as the Homanoff dynasty.
Massachusetts will complete three
centuries less than nine wears from
now. Columbus had discovered Amer
lea III years when the reisning fam
lily OF Russia gained royal power.
The truth is that Russia is still. in
many respects. young and crude. 1t
Is largely Il land Of frontier conditions,
not only in Asia hut in some parts OF
the European dominions of the cars.
l: Is a commonplace that Russian re-
sources remain in large measure un.
explored, not to say unimproved, and
there are vast possibilities Of change
IN the whole Russian empire.
But this is not the work Of tbs
Ro1nanofs. That family has given
the Muscovite nation several strong
rulers. n two or three have been
remarkably endowed with the great
gilt, rarely vouchsafed to despots, of
p%erceiving and acting upon the ma
tional need of development along un-
usual lines. On the other hand many
of the Romanoff princes have been
weak. %dissolute, wasteful. tyrannical
and reactionary in the extreme. They
have written many black pages of
their country's history. and although
the blood of the reigning house is nov
almost wholly German, through many
marriages. they have been typically
Russian in spirit and methods. 1t is
a trite saving that Russia. in govern.

Potatoes intended for seed should

The best manner in which they can
be handled is to ship them at once
to the nearest cold storage plant
and have them stored in darkness at
an average temperature of not more
than thirty-four degrees, with mois-
ture content in the surrounding air
Of not less than sixty degrees of sat

their full vigor and will prevent
either shrinking or sprouting until

method of keeping potatoes will be

Do not imagine that bots in horses
