TIMES CHANGES IN ARCTIC
Fossil Plants Prove That the Region Once Was Mild and In All Proba-
 biIity Frostless,

The ancient vegetation Of the Arc tic region. as is shown by a study Of It's fossil plants. Indicates that its cli- mate was once very unlike that which prevails there now. Instead Of con sisting of a handful of small plants struggling for life amid snow and ice in a scaut, almost perpetually frozen soil It's vegetation was abundant and luxuriant and included ferns and palmlIkc plants. that grow only in a mild and probably froStlcSS climate. This vegetation lour.shed In the Arc tic region from at least late Paleoz0ic 10 middle CenOzoic geological time millions of years before man existed Although these lands are now so in hospltable and are rarely visited, the United States geological survey has gathered a large amount Of informa- ton concerning their fossil ilnraS.
 A study of the coal beds of the Cape Lishurne region has incidentally dIs- closed many fossil plants. These coal beds are extensive and are the only known commercially valuable mineral resources of that region. A little coal Is occasionally mined for vessels that are short of fuel, which, as there is no harbor, lie ofTshore and perIlously load on a few sacks Of coal by means Of lighters.

avail themselves of the Absent Vot-
ing law at the special Congressional

one application for absentee ballot

there was in the primaries when

coming as far south as Florida and
as far west as Chicago. AS the cleo
ton takes place two weeks from to-
day people who wish to receive bal
lots should make applications at
once.
BY vote of the Municipal officers
the polls will open on election day
at \. NJ. ana remain open until 6

ing. 1t is believed that this change
will be very agreeable to the voters
in that ward and that it will afford
them better facilities for voting than
previously.
The committee on elections Of
which John G. HOwes is chairman is
working on a proposition to afford
the voters in Ward . a better place
in which to vote, as the result of a
petition received from a number OF
the voters in the ward at the last

new accommodation will not be
available. however. for this coming
