Whenever polar expedition is in

''ice field" is IN area OF frozen snow or
water so large that the limits are in

hand. "hoe" is a mass of ice. perhaps
very large, but whose boundaries are
seen by the explorer When such foes
become broken and the pieces are

it remains fast until contrary winds or

CHURCHES IN CHILE.
They Are Always More or Less In an
Uneompeted Condition.

They Are Always More or Less In an
Uneompleted Condition.
When walking through the streets in
any large town in Chile one is immedi
ately struck by the fact that church
buildings are always undergoing re-
pairs
One day you will pass a church which
for weeks has had about six ladders
resting against the walls Then an
other day you will dud that they have
been changed To the other side This
constant changing OF ladders goes on
year in and wear out. but no use ever
seems 70 be made OF the ladders,
though, perhaps, a new brick or bit
OF plaster will occasionally be added
10 the building
There would SEEN, however, TO be a
very real reason for the presence Of
these ladders The Chilean govern
ment. In fact. levieS a tax upon church
buildings, bat only when they have
been completed In order to evade
this tax. therefore. no church ever has
been completed
The law surely might be altered
then, for the eternal presence OF these
ladders certainly an ingenious idea
does not add to the appearance OF the
buildings or TO the comfort OF pedeS.
