Toned garden, he pointed to some garments hang
ing the back of the door.
"Those were worn by Captain Scott when he
died." the sculptor added. These trousers are
still moist with penguin oil in which he had soaked
them. And here the back of his coat is place
where hole burned by the taper beside him.
1t was necessary to have these garments to obtain
the proper lines of his wearing apparel His shoes
were here, too, until just recently when Lady
Scott took them away, but will return them again"
On raised platform near the centre of the
studio stood the model of the memorial, which is
to be thrty-ive feet high. 1t will consist Of
granite pylon, surmounted by bronze group
showing the five heroes dragging sedge which
stands a female figure representing Immortality"
Aroun' the base will be placed bronze relief pan

erected on Observation Hill by the relief party.
The first Of these panels is "To Strive" and
shows the five men struggling along with a sledge
in desperate effort to reach the pole.
The second is "To Seek" and shows the landing
Of the original expedition.
The third is "To Find" showing the party at
the pole.
The fourth is "And Not to Yield" showing the
last resting place of the heroes-a tent covered
with snow.
On the front of the pylon is portrait medallion
of Scott, on either side of which are two medal
lions-Dr. Wilson and Bowers on one side, and
Oates and Petty Officer Evans on the other
On the back Of the monument is a trophy COM

OF the cross erected on Observation Hill. On the
four sides, just under the bronze group surmount-

The committee which chose Mr.. Hodges design

said the sculptor, "and I shall have it ready by

Mr.. Hodge is an architect as well as sculptor,
and is enthusiastic about American architecture,
which he considers far beyond that of any other
country in the world at the present time. But he
is not enthusiastic about American sculpture

Mr.. Hodge told of the admiration OF the British

and OF the interest with which he had watched the

advance so that eclipses may be foretold.
Picture to yourselves these lines OF mag
netic force" recently said Dr. L. A. Bauer,
director of the department of terrestrial mag
netism of the Carnegie Institute, Of whose
work the survey being made by the Carnegie
is part, starting out from the earth's south
magnetic pole and, after sweeping far out
into space, curving gracefully around high
above our equator and re-entering finally at
the north magnetic pole. Recall now that
while these lines cannot ordinarily be seen
they are made apparent to us by the beautiful
phenomenon Of polar lights, whose Pickering
flames and shooting rays arrange themselves
in accordance with the earth's lines OF mag
netic force and dance in rhythm with the
quivering needle. What is the origin of these
lights2 According to the latest theories, it is
believed that when the tiny electrically charged
particles continually being given of by our
sun come within reach Of these lines of force
they are made to wrap themselves around
them, descending into the polar regions along
a spiral staircase, as it were. Before reaching
the earth's surface, however, at heights of
about twenty-five to three hundred miles, they
are brought into luminescence, and thus we
have the aurora borealis in the Arctic regions
and the aurora australis in the Antarctic.

sent out by any country for the sole purpose
Of making magnetic observations. Within
fifty years after Haileys voyage it was shown
that Halley's curve lines" were swiftly and
ceaselessly changing.
This swift and ceaseless" change in the
earth's magnetic state was strikingly made
evident when, in the fall of 1909, there set out
from the shores of Newfoundland vessel
charged with the sole duty of making mag
netic surveys 1t was the Carnegie on her
maiden voyage
When the Carnegie sets out on her present
voyage there will be new kind of OBJ
servatory on her decks. 1t is tiny little
house, very much like wireless telegraph sta
ton on steamship in size and shape On its
top are plates and curious shaped bells Of
shining copper. The scientists are anxious to
learn what they can about the relationship Of
the world to its celestial neghbors through
the channel of magnetism and electricity.

variation changes as the magnetic
poles alter their positions
There is line, however along which the
compass needle does point true north. Re-
Gently this line began in the eastern part OF
Lakes Superior and Michigan and ran through
Ohio, about half way between Cincinnati and
Columbus, and after passing through the east
ern parts of Kentucky and Tennessee cut
through South Carolina, entering the Atlantic
Ocean near Beaufort. On the east side of this
line the variation of the needle was west. On
the west side of course, the Variation was
east AS rule the further place is from this
line in the United States the greater is the
variation. For instance, in the northwestern
part of Maine the compass points ~ degrees
west Of north In Oregon the needle persists
in pointing % points east of north. One Of
the objects of the survey Of the world which
the Carnegie is making is that of determining
by observations from time to time at certain
spots the rate of change in the variation. 1t
is hoped that this work will ultimately lead
to the discovery of the range of the variation,
the rapidity OF the change and the path of
the magnetic poles. Then it will be possible
to forecast the variation at given spot, just
as now the movements of the MOON the earth
and other celestial bodies can be plotted in
