The TuFing 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. l 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 a hith-
erto almost hidden continent,
which turns out to be the loftiest
in mean elevation of any on the
globe, and which is buried under
an enormous accumulation of ice
and solidifled 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
ly a mighty revolution-one OF the
great mysteries Of the past-has
occurred at each Of the ENDS Of
the earth"

Flock Around Ireland.

But the hideous sea,-mammals
that flock around the island, and
crawl out upon its shores, are
even more suggestive of world
foreign to the inhabited
parts of the globe. A more mon
strous beast than the antarctic
sea- elephant could not be mag
ined. Its huge nose is compared
to a "semi-inflated sausage skin"
It wallows and rolls over tho
rocky shore in a most extraordi-
nary fashion. 1t yields a kind OF
oil resembling whale. and worth
500 a ton. The sea-laopard (see
its formidable head in the photo
graph is another Of the extraor~
binary dwellers around the ant
arctic end Of the earth. It is a
species OF nor fur bearing seal,
Of ferocious aspect and no com
mercial value.
The penguins also yield an on
worth about $50 a ton, and thou
sands Of them are killed every
season, the oil being extracted al
boiling works that have been
erected for that purpose. Except
the oil-seekers the island has no
human inhabitants.

Representative Underwood of the wise and able House
leaders who opposed President Wilson's Canal policy calls
the attention of the American people the very great danger
the program Mr. Wilson trying to force Congress to carry
out.
"The repeal of the BILL - said Mr.. Underwood,
will not prevent the fertilization of the Canal,
BUT 1T WILL PREVENT US FROM USING
THE GUNS ON THE VESSELS OF ANOTHER
NATION IF THAT NATION SHOULD BE AT
WAR WITH US.

WITH WHICH WE WERE AT WAR TO PASS
THROUGH THE CANAL TO ATTACK OUR

CAUSE THE CANAL WOULD BE NEUTRAL
AND OUR FORTIFICATIONS USELESS"

By GARRETT P. SERVTSS

IF you stand at the North Pole
you can look in only one di-
rection-south. No matter
how you may twist around on
your heels, it is always toward
the South that your eyes are di-
rected North, as a terrestrial
direction, has vanished. You have
arrived at the end of the north.
You are where it lives" Or else
we may say that north has sud
denly sprung into the sky, and is
now at an unattainable distance
directly over your head. A mo-
ment before your foot touched
the pole north was straight ahead
Of you, and you had all the four
cardinal points to choose from
east, west, north and south. Now
three of them have vanished, and
south alone remains. The re-
verse is true at the South Pole.
where all directions on the earth's
surface are alike north.
