The Turning Points.

In view Of these facts, we may
speak of the North and South
Poles as the lends of the earth"
They are the two turning points,
arrived at either one of which
there is no choice left but to start
toward the other.
Now, as everybody knows,
these ends of the earth have only
just been discovered, in the sense
Of being actually visited by man,
but already they have provided
enough wonders to fill many
books. speak now not of the
mathematical points called the
poles, but Of the regions imme-
diately surrounding them In the
north the pole seems to occupy
the center of a deep oceanic ba-
sin, covered with a movable floor
of floating ice, while in the south
the pole is surrounded by hith-
erto almost hidden continent,
which turns out to be the Hottest
in mean elevation of any on the
globe, and which is buried under
an enormous accumulation of ice
and solidified snow.
Yet both are the abode of life.
Oceanic creatures dwell in the
waters around the edges of. and
underneath, the mighty ice floors,
and birds and four-footed animals
inhabit the land areas. Every
where where a glimpse Of ancient
conditions can be obtained evil
dence is seen that in former ages
both the polar circles included re-
gions in which temperate and
even tropical climates prevailed.
and which were inhabited by ami
mails and plants belonging to spe-
cies that now exist only in the
warmer parts of the globe. Plain
~ a mighty revolution-one Of the
great mysteries Of the past-has
occurred at each Of the lends of
the earth"

How Bill Got Along

MAYHEM Bill arrived at the
w branch house OF the
firm out West the first thing
that impressed him was the am
tiquated system of doing bust
ness in the office The man
ager, an old man, who had
been with the firm many wears,
at first resented Bill's coming
out there to wake things up or
to brighten up the infeld a
bit, as Bill called it.
The clerks all seemed dopey
and stood around talking
about most anything except
what they were being hired
for. When Bill asked to see
the advertising account, the
manager told him he would
find it very small, as he be-
lieved a firm as old as this one
and as we'll known didu t need
to advertise much.

Emily We're married.
Bill now lives in a little sub
uwb just outside of the great
city and his present salary
would allow him to belong
to any clubs he wanted, but
he prefers two little pudgy
hands and wee nose press

Emily standing just behind

jim? Oh, Jim is about the
same as he used to be-same
old job, no further along, and
when Bill asks him why he
doesn't cut out the booze he
answers the same as he did
years ago. I'm going to.
Bill. 1t doesn't do me amy
good and ! never seem to

Good Conversation

tive words and adding them to
ones vocabulary may be a help.
There should not be an attempt
to use stilted expressions, long

A fatal habit is to use slang. The
practice OF reading aloud every

fish prose is help to the voice
as we'll as to the mind.
To talk well 1t is necessary to
learn to think, to remember. to
observe and to keep informed Of
the events of the world.
People who talk well in society
are never dull, silent. taeiturn at
home. The habit of talking pleas
antly at home is not practlced
sufficiently. Those who are cheer
ful and communicative at home,
fun of goodwill, who tell of their
experiences of the day, who talk
intelligently Of universal or per
sonal matters, who have the pow
er TO draw others out and get
them to talk, are on the road to
success in conversation.
Good conversation is really
give and take" 1t is recipro-
cal and is a dialogue, not a mon
ologue. The aim is supposed to
be for MUTUAL pleasure. To
listen courteously and with sin
cere interest is charm in con-
Yersation.
Nothing is more ruinous to
conversation than lecturing. or
laying down the law" When to
this is added an emphatic man

an end. Among cultured per
sons there is the charm or de-
lightful discussions, without ar

They are inhabitants of the
ends Of the earth, and particu-
larly Of the southern, or antarctic
end. These queer animals were
found at Macquarie Island, which
lies southwest of New Zealand, ana
about halfway from Australia to
the Antarctic Continent. This
lone island, lying in the deep sea
that guards the great polar con-
tinent, has been made subsid-
larry base for the Mawson Antarc-
ii cexploring expedition, and a
wireless telegraph station has
been established there, which is
in communication with Australia
on one side and the wild shores
of the Antarctic on the other.

cies that characterize the south
polar continent and its surround
ing waters. They absolutely
swarm there. They are astound-
ing by their numbers and their
strange forms and habits. Vast
areas of ground are occupied by
the rookeries of those singular
birds called penguins, which when
seen at a little distance mimic
human beings with their erect
carriage and their apparel of
feathers, which resembles a dis
play of white vests and black
coats. Huge albatrosses also
abound.
