CREVASSES HARD TO AVOID
Explorers in the Antarctic Particularly
Troubled by What Are Known
as Devils Traps"

Visitors to Switzerland alone can
appreciate the dangers of crevasses
in the ice sheets but in the Antarc-
tic they are more numerous and attain
far greater dimensions than In Swift
Zerland. They lie hidden under the
snow and very often the explorer does
not know that he is on crevasse until
he has Travelled some yards, and then
he hears hollow sound. He will then
wonder whether to go on or turn back,
but experience has taught that the
greater danger may be incurred by
turning back
Crevasses are peculiar to the ice
sheets overland. They are nonexist-
ent at the north pole because there the
ice is frozen ocean. All Antarctic
expeditions have had to negotiate the
difficulties of crevasses, and sometimes
their existence has compelled the ex-
plorers to make detour of many
miles.
Where land juts out into the sea or,
to be more precise, into an ice sheet
in the Antarctic, several creyasses
will be found radiating from this point.
Some have been known to be so yards
wide and 1000 feet deep Instances
are also found where a sledge has sunk
half way through the ice roof and has
been rescued with the greatest diff
Guilty. In these cases the explorers
were luckily roped to the sledge, but
they had the uncomfortable experience
of being suspended over deep chasm.
Amundsen calls the treacherous snow
which conceals a creyasse "The Dew
us Roof"

Some Things About the Moon

Like the earth, the moon receives Its
light from the sun, and its day, the
interval from sunrise to sunset, is a
month. The long sunshine for two
weeks and the absence Of sun for the
following two weeks must cause Inn
mense variations Of temperature. AS
tronomers have estimated that the
temperature must fall in the long
nights to 200 degrees below zero. In
spite of this small amount of heat, an
instrument called the bolometer, which
detects heat from a candle a mile
away. succeeded in detecting heat rays
coming from the moon. If air Is pres
emf its pressure cannot exceed 1850
that nj the earth's surface and is
probably much less. as no refractiOn
has ever been observed when the edge
Of the moons disk passes over star.
The existence Of water in any guam
Htv has not been detected by instru-
ments and no clouds have been seen.
II is possible that water-probably in
the form of ice-mny exist at the
bottom of some Of the deeper craters,
but the low temperature would scarce
~ hermit 1t to be liquefied even when
the sun was shining.

RENO, THE MAGICIAN.

Edward Reno has been magician

Travelled in every quarter OF the globe

During the hour and half that Reno
has the platform he executes sixty or
more tricks, two or three times as
many as are shown by the ordinary
magician.
The running-fire comments as Reno
puts over his tricks are about as anus

plenty of puns and big words and
keeps his audience In a fever of excite
ment and interest. He goes out into

Reno uses a number Of pets in his

takes a lads watch from a loaf of
bread when 1t is supposed to be locked

the children how to make two doves

Buttons Made From Nuts.

Some of the prettiest of the fancy
buttons and other supposedly ivory
articles like chess men, are really made
from nuts which are imported into this
country from South America. When
these nuts are first opened the kernel
or meat is soft and somewhat the con.
sistency of coconut, and is really edi-
BILE; but within few hours they be-
gin to harden, and ip day become so
solid and strong that they cannot be
Clipped with a knife At the Comlner-
cial Museum the reports show that A.
S73,01S pounds of this vegetable ivory
is imported into the United States
yearly, the value being estimated at
approximately $1,255,719. The nuts
themselves are shaped somewhat like
a butternut and are of the real ivory
white, SO that it is difficult for anyone
except an expert to tell the difference
between the vegetable ivory and the
real tusk ivory.
