Passport to the North Pole.

A passport TO the north pole was is
sued some years ago by the governor
Of the province OF TObolsk. which
stretches along the Russian shores OF
the Arctic ocean. The official was ap-
preached by two men who had been
engaged to proceed TO the north with
an English expedition then fitting out.
Their petition was for a passport to
the pole itself, but the governor point.
ed out that the pole was as likely to
be In their home province as In any
other, that 1t was extremely unlikely
they would reach 1t and that If they
did there We're no police there to ex-
anime their credentials. At last, how
ever, to sattsfr them he ordered the
issue OF document allowing them to
pass without let or hindrance to the
north pole.

THlNNEST SOAP BUBBLES.
They Almost Give Us Sight Of tire
Invisible Molecules.


What is a soap bubblef N,etAipg but
a film OF water molecules held together
by the cohesive power of soap in solu-
ton. A soap bubbles size and strength
depend upon the right composition Of
the mixture that furnishes its mate
rial. The colors in a soap bubble are
due to what is known In physics as the
interference Of light, and depend upon
the varying thickness Of the film az
water.
1t Is a singular fact that the last
color TO appear on a soap bubble just
before 1t breaks is a gray tint. The
thickness Of the film when this tint
appears upon it Is less than the one
hundred and y-six-thousand th Of an
inch.
Were a soap bubble to be magnifed
to the size OF the earth and the mole
cules magnified in proportion, then the
whole structure would be As coarse
grained as a globe Of small lead shot
touching one another at their surfaces.
In the blowing of soap bubble there
Is presented the spectacle Of the
stretching Of a liquid TO the extreme
limit Of its capacity. In this way we
come nearer to sight OF the invisible
molecules Of matter than could be got
in any other way no matter how elab-
crate the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
