THE MARDI GRAs BALL.
Manager Corrineton's Feature Attrae- ton Was We'll Attended Last
 Night.

Tit is naught but the truth that society gasped at the splendor of last nights Mardi Gras ball at the Arl- ingtol.
 It was a truly wondrous bal, one of the most wonderful in Hot Springs brilliant history and that is saying a whole lot, as in past seasons the ball rooms of the Arlington, the East man and the Park have been the scenes of some maryelously smart af- fairs
 Hot Springs is located just far enough south to feel" the gayety al tending Mardi Gras For that req son the eitys elite turned out in full force Then, Little Rock also sent over a smart delegation of it's social set As for the many visiting fash ionables at the Arlington, whole hotel full, and the guests at the East man and the other leading hostelries, they attended with barely @ skip
 An even greater and gayer throng than attended last weeks great St Valentines ball thronged the Airing tons ball room all evening Even standing room was at a premium in the spacious rotunda, so dense was the overflow of dancers and so many the onlookers The porch, too, was packed. despite the chilly evening hundreds of folks peering in through the windows for peep at the gay scene.
 Manager Corriagton, always at his best when building his big feature events, promised milady a brilliantly and tastefully decorated ball room. And in advance he added that the decorations would likewise be thor oughly appropriate Nor did he dis appoint The beautiful bali room new CT looked pretties and the same com ment goes for the decorations in all entirety on the ground floor.
 The great success of the Mardi Gras ball was a yeritable trimph for Mr. Corrington and his aides A lot was promised and nothing was for gotten. Then, splendid Dick Bar ton came through with particularly pleasing dance program and his or chestra did every number completee justice. Encore after encore was de mandd and were freely given.
 Between dances and after the ball was over there was the gayest of Tiff in the grill room Everybody was on dress parade; everybody was bent upon having a good time and it is only fair to state that the evening is| one that will be long remembered by those attending.

LOOKING FOB pRIvlLEeE.


 The Iron Mountain railroad yester- day had the Business Mems League set together citizens to an afternoon meeting to Hook over the plans of the new depot" The plans provided for the new depot being built 50 feet north on city streets, and shutting off Olive street.
 The city council probably has not the right to give the Iron Mountain the city street, any more than it would have the right to give one of her pro gressiye citizens part of city street. Even if it had the right it should not do so.
 The position of the railroad is ab- surd
 It's representatives tells us that the company wants to build a better de- pot here than is usually built in city the size of Hot Springs. But he didn't state that for years the people of Hot Springs had been contributing to an advertising fund to bring five times or ten times the travel here that usually comes to a city the size of Hot Springs
 It's representative also said that the company did not expect title to the street but merely the right to occupy the street and could be forced out when the city needed the street. In the language of the curb, the "dope" is that once a railroad gets squarely set in city street it stays there Hot Springs knows something from ex- perience in this line.
 It's representative said that the Iron Mountain railroad wanted to build for the future" of Hot Springs, indicating that more than ordinary passenger depot and track terminals were 10 be taken care of now, to meet the great future development that was to come. We hope for the de- qelopment But it is not unlikely that the Iron Mountain is locking 10 take care of some additional revenue in providing for a terminal for the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad company, for which the Iron Mountain will probably reap a financial harvest. We do not anticipate that the Iron Mountain is providing for the future Of the new western outlet as a matter of philanthropy.
 Tine Iron Mountain railroad was urged to build a decent and suitable passenger station in this first health resort of the world and is expected to do this. The railroad was not urg- ed to come to Hot Springs asking for it's city streets, or to plug up its street crossings. Other institutions destroy ed in the recent fire have not delayed so in building, nor have they asked concessions or bonus before they pro oeeded. The Iron Mountain railroad should have neither concession or bonus, but should be ordered by the railroad commission of Arkansas to place a decent and suitable passen- ger station in Hot Springs for the comfort and convenience of the trav- cling public.

Temperatures at the
Poles
BY EDGAR LuCIEN LARKIN.

Question-"At the time when such ami
mails as mastodons and other large ami
mails lived in the northern part of this
earth, was IL then warm at the poles?
II so. why is II cold today? As science
has proved that the suns rays suuarely
strike the poles. once a year. for short
time. then again. why are the poles
constantly frozenT'
Answer-Yes. the climate was surely
very mild at the North pole, for in the
stomachs of the huge beasts exhumed in
northern Siberia, undigested remains and
seeds OF plants were found, but these
plants now grow only IN temperate and
even near tropical zones. And the cold
snap came on suddenly. for the creatures
had no time to escape the norass in
which he was feeding and reach the
higher ground.
The cause of this sudden cold Is I'M
known. Ignatius Donnelly and others ad-
vocate the theory that large quantities
OF stone and drift fell on earth from
frigid space. But astronomers cannot
prove this.
The axis of the earth is inclined TO the
plan of it's orbit at an angle of % de-
grees q minues, therefore the rays of
the sun do not fall squarely upon either
pole.
ouestion-'How IS oxygen kept constant
in our atrnosphere?'' -
Answer-This Is ono of the most remark
able adjustments OF nature. Animals APP
propriate oxygen from the air. giving out
carbenic acid gas. Planets appropriate
this gas and pour forth oxygen.
But the quantity of oxygen mixed with
the nitrogen is the same In proportion in
air in all parts OF the world.
ouestion-"Is It true that with the aid
of an ordinary plain mirror one can see
the moons Of Juplter?"
| Answer-No. These moons cannot be
seen by the unaided eye. Plain mirrors
do not aid; they hinder a little owing to
slight loss of light by reflection. 1t re-
quires magnification 20 see the satellites
OF Jupiter.

Said the Kaiser's god the god Of the Gar:
Hark, bark. how my people pray;
Their faith. methnks, is greater by far
Than all the faiths of the others are
They know will help them slay.'
Said the god of the Gear: my people call
In medley of tongues; they know

Wherever they fight their foes shall fall
Like grass where the mowers 60"
Then the god OF the Gauls spoke out of a cloud
To the god of the King nearby:
Our people pray, tho they pray not loud;
They ask for courage to slaughter a crowd
And to laugh tho themselves may die"

Where lonely pathway crept
Up over the stars, to a place,
Where light shone but the light of His face
