Once on a time secret stair
appropriately winding)
That long had lain in disTepair
And disrepute unminding,
Was by a ruler indscreet
Annexed to his official suite.
The dust Of years was swept away
And ancient appartions
Hobgoblins of a former day,
And long forgot traditions,
Rose in the clouds that wnirled about
With raucous rant and spleenful shout.
Behold the stairway built
And guarded by two portals;
No passage for retinue;
Four highly favored mortals
Invested were each with key,
An open (and shut) sesame
Just now it happened could tell
Mssteps sometimes taken
But some one fell down through the we'll
And when the ruler, shaken
Turned DER the body with contrition
He found the dead one" was Ambition!

 new northern port of Russia at Cath arine Harbor is well beyond the Arc tic Circle and for some time to come Old Sol will supply almost continuous light for the busy operations now be- ing carried on there by an army of the Czar's workmen.
 No important American city has anything like as long a day as many of the large cities of northern Eu- rope. Montreal has a sixteen hour day in midsummer, and St. Johns en- joys a little longer period of contin- uous sunshine, but the Canadian and Nefound1and cities are far behind Petrograd. The longest day of the Russian capital is practically nineteen hours, and Stockholm and Christiana. have only about fifteen minutes less sunshine on the longest day of the year
 At all places within the Arctic circle the sun skirts the horizon without dip ping below it at midsummer, andN far ther north the phenomenon continues for days, weeks or months. On the equator the day is always a few min utes more than twelve hours in length, but as we proceed north it's length increases in summer and de- creases in winter until the Arctic Circle is reached. At the poles the day is a little over six months in length, and the night nearly as long.

 SENTIMENT UPON US. PREPARATION
Opinion of 3OO,OOO Business Men of Country Is Be-
 ing Recorded

How the people of the country real ly feel toward the subject ,of national defense may be learned as result of a canvass just begun by the Cham mber of Commerce of the United States. It will be, it is said, the most thorough and compreh ensive effort ever made to ascertain countrywide sentiment on a question so prominently before the people and Congress. A referendum the fifteenth since the organization of the National Chamber-has gone to 700 commercial bodies, to every state in the Union, representing some 100000 business nen.
 The committee of the National Chamber recommends that the na- tional defense forces both on sea. and land should be so increased and the industrial resources so co-ordinated as to make fully available the military, industrial and financial strength of the nation. It also recommends that universal military training be adopt ed as a fundamental democratic principal of our military policy and be enforced by law to furnish ade- quate land, sea and industrial forces in peace and war. Recognizing that the constituent elements of necessary war material are of such infinite variety that they cannot all be produced in SOkSA1lI1OHL pIdIIIS III time or war put are and must be produced in highly diversified and specialized industries, the committee recomm that a. fun dam ental feature of the national pol icy for supplying war material should be to educate private industry in time of peace in the manufacture of such material.
 It is urged that the educative ar rangements with private manufactur- CTS for the production of war mater ial in time of peace serve not only to supply current needs of the army and navy but also to accumulate a re- serve of war material sufficient to supply our land and sea forces, both regular and reserve from the be- ginning of a possible war until such time as the industries of the country can produce the increased supplies then requisite.

The cause of the phenomenon of

The cause of the phenomenon of the midnight sun is the inclination of the eartI's axis to the ecliptic. The elevation of the pole at any given spot being equal to the latitude Of that spot, and the suns polar distance on a midsummer's day being 66 1-2 degrees, it follows that in the latitude 66 1-2 degrees the sun will barely graze the horizon, while farther north it will remain continuously above the horizon for greater or lesser period, according to latitude.
 The midnight sun brings a. real if brief period of good old summer time'' to many of the places it visits, especially those on on near the coast. In the interior however, the sun@Iaas little effect, and this is especially true of the barren wastes of northern Si- beria. In the warmest periods when the sun shines uhinterrhptedly for days there are many places in Siberia where the earth never thaws. At Werchojansl, in the Siberian interior, called t'the co1dest place on earth, '' g, temperature of ninety degrees below zero has been recorded. In this part of the world the earth freezes to a depth of a hundred feet, and although there is brief period of summer sunshine and balmy air the earth re- mains frozen.

THE MIDNIGHT SUN

Beginning today, the midnight sun will be visible at North Cape, Nor way, until the twenty-ninth of July, but, owing to the war, it is unlikely ! that many tourists will make the long journey necessary to witness that phenomenon. Old Sol will put on his famous continuous performance as us- ual, but the spectators will be few, and the dealers in postcards and sou venirs look forward to bad season.
 While the spectacle of the midnight sun is best viewed from that promon- tory which jaIts into the gelid waters of the Arctic Ocean from the northern coast of Norway, many trippers are : quite content to view the phenome- non from the comparatively civilized environment of HamInerfest, the northernmost town of Europe, situ- ated on a little island off the north western coast of island. At this point the midnight sun begins his engage nent on May 21st and continues to shine uninterrupted1y for two months. In America, Old Sol plays a brief en- gagement in his midnight speciality in the Alaskan cities of Nome and Fair banks, and, the Russian port of Arch angel has almost continuous sunshine for brief period in midsummer.
