Nothing has been heard from Amund-
sen since September l, 1918, nearly
one year ago. AT that time the Maud
was reported taking oil for her motors
at Dixson Island. a White sea point.
After taking the oil she sailed north
east into the rapidly freezing waters
of the Arctic ocean
From White sea Amundsen expected
to drift east with the ice to the New
Siberian Islands, which lie in the Arc
tic off Siberia. At the New Siberian
Islands, it was believed, the drift
would carry the boat toward, If not
across, the pole. Amundsen intended
to use the airplanes if he found he

Amundsen, in a degree followed the
footsteps of his countryman, Fridtjof
hansen. in 1885. hansen. in the
Fran. started on a drift across the
pole but left his boat and tried unsuc-
cessfully to reach the goal on foot
Later the Fran drifted as close to the
pole as hansen got
The Maud carries wireless sending
apparatus, but no receiving instru-

install the receiving apparatus because
he did not want to be worried by news

summer arranged to establish several
food depots on Grant Land, from Cape
Columbus to Robinson Channel, for the

for this, but it Is very easy of expla-
nation. On June % of this year the
northern hemisphere of the earth re-
ceived more heat from the sun than on
any other day, though our hot weather
had then hardly begun. The amount
of heat radiated into space from any
section of the earth is remarkably con-
slant; when any section receives more
heat than it radiates it grows hotter
and when less it grows colder. Until
about the end of the first week in
August the amount received in north
ern ATTITUDES is greater than the amount
lost hence, until this time these places
grows warmer.
There is thus a definite lag of tenn
perature. After the time of the long
est day the amunt received is less
than it was, but it is still greater than
the amunt radiated; after the first
week in August the amount received
is less than the amount radiated; al
though the least amount is received on
our shortest day Gin December), our
coolest weather does not occur untiY
February. 1t is only when the amount
received becomes equal to the amount
given off that a change occurs Thus
in June it is still getting hotter, and
not until August is this condition full
filled.

TRIBUTE PAID TO
memory OF LATE
Waller !. NAluMAN
County Judge at Grocers' Meeting
Lauds the Life Of Exemplary
Young Man.

At the meeting of the Maysville Re-
tail Grocers' Association Thursday
night County Judge H. P. Purnell who
was asked to deliver eulogy on the
life Of the late Walter I. Nauman said:
1T has been suggested to me that
this was the time and place for some
thing to be said of.the life of Walter
I. Nauman. He came from good stock
on both sides, for in his make up
there was an inheritance Of courage,
of manliness, of imperishable love of
liberty, and Of undying adherence to
principle. He was proud to be good,
true and honest. and the influence Gre
ated over others by these traits can
only be measured by those that profit
ed by his influence and were led by
his walks In life.
"He was not rich boy, but like
most Of us all born Of ordinary cir
cumstances, but he forged himself to
the front by his untiring energy and
perseverance,. No manly man feels
anything Of shame in looking back to
early struggles with adverse circum-
stances and no man feels a worthier
pride than when he has conquered the
obstacles to his progress. But as
knew him and have talked to him, his
youth presented no hardships which
family love and family energy did not
overcome, subjected him to no priva-
lions which he did not cheerfully ac-
cept and left no memories save those
which were recalled with delight and
transmitted with profit and with
pride. When he entered the war, he
did so with great composure. He
seemed to realize the responsibilities
that we're resting upon him, and If 1t
had not been for home and loved ones
that conflict would have found him
within the lines much earlier than it
did. This boy was true patriot; he
loved his country with passion of
patriotic devotion and his every wax
ing thought was given to her advance
ment. He was an American in all his
aspirations, and he looked to the des-
tiny Of his country with philosophic
composure as Of many other patriots
that has gone before him.
'The religious element in Walter
Nauman's life was deep and earnest.
The browning characteristics of his
religious opinions was liberality. Toll
erence was was his nature. He re-
spected in others the qualities which
he possessed himself-sincerity Of
conviction and frankness of express
sion. The lines of his friendship and
his confidence encricled men Of every
creed and men of no creed and to the
end of his life on his ever lengthening
