 The problem of how trees, like mod ern forest trees, could flourish within 300 geographical miles of the South Pole itself, which now for five months of the year was in almost total dark ness. was, said the professor, one which involved the question of whether, If the position of the earth's axis of TO- tation had remained constant through out geological time, the continents might not have crept horizontally over considerable distances.
 T do not believe the world yet real izes the scientific, as well as the com- mercial, importance of that great coal field which Sir Ernest Shackleton dis covered at the head of the Beardmore glacier and which even in a small strip contains probably as much coal, at least, as exists in all the unworked coal fields of Great Britain" continued Pro- lessor David.
 The possibility Of a gold reef exist ing in the Antarctic regions was also mentioned by the speaker, who regard ed it as almost certain that a paying reef would be discovered soon. Tt will be possible to work it in comparative comfort, just as it is worked in Alas ka," he said.

THE LElSURELY LIFE OF ORT
 WELLS

When George Ade began to make his old friend, Ort Wells, who had been working on the same newspaper with him in Chicago, decided that journalism was by no means a path of wealth. Consequently, he resigned his job and opened a brokerage of flee. His popularity in the town was such that hundreds of people sent him valuable business, and at the end of four or five years he had made and stored away two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
 As soon as he counted this up, he walked into his brokerage offices, which by this time had become spacious, not to say luxurious, and announced:
 I'm going to close up this place next week. I'm going out of business, and I'll never hit another lick of work as long as I live All my life I've wanted enough money to sup port me in comfort I've got it now, and I'm through with labor'
 In vain his friends besought him not to throw away such a profitable business. To no avail it was pointed out that he was doing a foolish thing He sold the office fixtures, closed up the establishment, and threw the key away.
 One Sunday morning, not long ago. when he was on a visit at George Ade's farm in Indiana, the two men went out to the barn to look after the cattle. There was one COW that required a lot of attention. She gulped down four big buckets of wa ter which Ade drew at the pump and carried to her And her thirst per sisted
 Here. Ort," said George at last, ''go get another bucket of water for that cow"
 Ort who was sitting in the shade and smoking a cigar, looked at Ade with a long and steady stare, and said solemnly:
 George, when I quit business in Chicago, l sWore a solemn oath that I would never hit another lick of ! work. Watering that COW is work. i Go do it yourself. The Popular | Ma gaZine

COAL IN THE ANTARCTIC REGION

Some of the secrets which the Ant arctic has yet to yield up to the in trepid bands of scientists who explore its icy wastes were mentioned recently by Professor Edgeworth David in a lecture to the Royal Geographical So- ciety, London. He suggested a sys- tematic collection of specimens from the coal measures at the head of the Beardmore glacier and their associated fossil flora.
 Wood, apparently allied to, if not identical with coniferous wood, had been found there, said Professor David, and fossil rootlets in the adjacent shades suggested that the wood grew near the place where it was now found. It was difficult, he said, to imagine any spot in the world more fascinating from the point of view of geology, pale

 White House officials pointed to the general denial issued few days ago of the story that the secretary would resign, saying that statement was suf- ficieit to cover all rumors of cabinet dissension.
 Outside of the White House there has been considerable discussion of the individual views known to be held by members of the cabinet on the present situation. None of these is said to be serious or approaching any breach in the presidents official family.
 The president himself, it is said. has invited the widest range of sug- gestions from his advisers.
 Persons close to the administration council described the divergence of views as the product of natural differ ences among those charged with re- sponsibility for executive action. For instance, the war department is anxious to take it's n1il- itary forces, and the navy is bending its energies likewise to

 The possibility of mobilizing the mi- ltia under the new volunteer army bill which is before the president for his signature, also deliberated upon. Organization of the volunt ger forces under the new measure will call for [ large amount of detail vol k and the department wishes to be fully ls-epared to handle it.
 Ways and means for future possible operations were discussed at length. Various plans for movements of all sorts in Mexico have been submitted to the chiefs of the department, but no definite plan has been outlined. The conference reviewed several pos sible operations which might be made necessary by a declaration of war, or by an attack by Huerta forces.

French Army Horses.
frrom Paris Letter to Cincinnati En uuirer.)

ET6nCn f1IIAy AAOASNS'
 frrom Paris Letter to Cincinnati En- uuirer.)
 It is certain that France can lay the fattering junction to her soul that she is better equipped with army horses than any other European power. The system of horse breeding by the gov ernment is entirely responsible Tor this condition of things. Throughout the whole country there are breeding establishments at which horses are sta- tfoncd and their services are at the disposal of the neighboring farmers at a, merely nominal charge. Prizes are awarded annually for the best or these government sires' progeny and in addition there are very arduous tests for ~all horses required for military purposes.
 We have just had one of these tests in the shape of a military ride from Biarritz to Paris, and 1t has thrown some considerable light upon the much h-discussed question of the best type of horse for the use of cavalry. The distance covered was nearly 700 miles. Of this the stages from Biarritz to Limoges are over an exceedingly mountainous country. of which the roads at the present time of the year are far from good These stages some 440 miles, took a week to cover, with an average of a little over sixty miles day.
 The surprising feature of the trial is that. after this test of endurance. the first horse to finish covered the remaining 25O miles in the astonish- ing time of forty-eight hours. an aver age of 126 miles a day. The first horse to finish was half-b Arab, by the well-known stallion Prisme. A strong contrast was provided by the second, which arrived soon afterward. This was a strong, rather under-bred mare, almost of the light draught type, which. according to rufnor, had been cmpi. Jed between the shafts of @ cart a fortnight before the commencement of the trial. The third was a half- bred horse and the fourth almost a thoroughbred Arab. Fifth came an English thoroughbred, a horse by the stallion Bonnet Vert, in his racing days useful handicap horse.
 The most successful type was the bred Arab, providing, including the winner, four representatives in the first eight. It must be remembered, in considering these results, that the weight carried by the horses in the trial was considerably less than that of an American cavalry soldier in full marching order. The officers taking part, though using military saddles, rode as light as possible, and de- pended on finding at different towns and villages on the route much that on conditions of active service it would De necessary to carry on the saddle
