the Temperature.


the Temperature.
1t often happens ON siedge journeys
among the arctic ice that the thermom-
eters are broken. In that case the
party finds itself without any means of
determining the temperature. But
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 u month with
fair degree of accuracy. This fact be
proved by means of Il 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.
est number Of times won the priZe-a
few cigars. Besides giving practice in
estimating degrees of cold. it was
very good diversion with which to be-
gin the day. When one day is almost
exactly like another the first hour Of
the morning is likely to be little sour.
The competition engaged every ones
attention pleasantly Each mans en-
trance was awaited with excitement.
and one man was not permitted to
make his guess in the hearing Of the
man who followed him. Therefore
they had to speak as they came in. one

he had guessed correctly. 1t was 60

The monthly results were very inter.
esting. So far as can remember. the
best performance In any month was

A man might keep remarkably close to
the actual temperature for a long time
and then suddenly one day make an
error Of rs degrees.
The winners mean temperature
agreed within few tenths Of q degree
with the actual mean temperature Of
the month. and the mean of all the
competitors mean temperature gave a
result that was almost exactly correct
So If we had been SO nnlncky as to
lose all our thermometers we should
not have been entirely at loss.

POLLYANNA.

Text. BE glad in the Lord and rejoice"
--Ps. xxxii, 7S
I'm glad I've read Mrs Eleanor H.
Porter's story Of "Pollyanna." 1t is
distinct message of cheer In an age
that tends to pessimism and despair:
an age when men are slipping some
from the hope of the gospel to the
cynical view that they are but cogs
grinding in the great wheel OF life.
Into ones psychic world slips this
eleven-year-old preachers daughter:
father and mother dead; raised by the
Ladies' Aiders:'' finally shipped from
the western mission parsonage life.
dressed in her pink checked gingham
dress and straw hat: taken from the
missionary barrel to her rich maiden
aunt in the east Into the cold gran
deur of that unwelcome home the for
lorn and hOmesick little orphan grille
fits as Il ray of sunshine on March
day This waif of the cherries mis-
sion station was preacher of quaint
little philosophy which she called her
game
Briefly stated, it was Ito find some
thing in everything to be glad about"
1t began when she prayed for doll
to come to the missionary barrel and
found pair Of clutches instead.
While the little lassie's heart was
broken in disappointment, her father
taught her the game" II cannot see
anything to be glad about-getting a
pair of clutches when you wanted
doll.'' says Nancy. one Of Pollyanna's
first disciples "Goosey! Why. just
be glad because you don't need 'em!
Beginning at the pitifully cherries
and barren attic room, where her aunt
had showed her. convinced she had
now done her duty. she gazes at the
bare place above the bureau. And l
can be glad there isn't any looking
glass here. too. cause where there
isn't any glass can't see my freckles."
From that point an entire community
becomes saturated with her sunshiny
creed. Personally. am glad" for the
chance to play the game" as taught
by this winsome, yellow haired Miss
Thankful. with the rainbow in her sky.
Grouehiness.
It's easy to be grouchy But what
mean thief of sunshine the crouch Is!
Like the muckraker in Pilgrims Prog
ress,' he fails to see the crown. He is
grouchy because somebody came late
in his row of seats: there was no seat
in the trolley; the train was minute
and half late: he didn't take his
umbrella. though 1t threatened rain:
he Slipped on his neighbours ice cover
ed sidewalk. though his own was not
cleaned: the minister preached thirty
five minutes. though the bull game
was two hours long: the telephone Op-
orator gave him the wrong number be-
cause he growled indistinctly: the
show is rotten" the players ION the
bum" Each time the crouch speaks
he takes 10 per cent of some ones
happiness. The crouch Is skilled
bully over every one who is helpless.
I've seen folks break down under his
devilish spirit He Is coward and
has no right to darken the lives Of
those who must stand in his shadow.
Grouchness may not be mortal sin
but let us add to our private iitany.
From grouchiness in myself and from
those who are grouchy. good Lord, de
liver u.s.
