Shortly after this the party divided,

trapping camp was established ten

Bears Become Inquisitiye.
AS December wore on. the bears,
though less plentiful. became even
more inquisitive. The day before
Christmas. knight paid a visit to
the trapping camp to bring the other
boys back with him for the holiday.
Only that day Crawford and Maurer
had had a close call from a hungry
invader
The boys quarters at the trapping
camp were composed of an eight by
foot tent, stretched inside snow
house, and small storm shed. The
front door was the only Quiet. They
awoke to find it completely full of
polar bear. Knight writes of this
experience:
TThis morning. while the fellows
were eating breakfast, Maurer who
was sitting nearest the door, raised
the tent flap to look for something
inside the storm shed. Lo and be-
hold, what had his head in the out
side door but a great big bear! He
was doing the shifting stunt. and did
not seem to pay any attention to
Maurer. The rifles were all outside.
Maurer called a retreat to the back
of the tent, where he and Crawford
held a consultation of war.
About this time the bear, SEEM
ingly, smelt something inside the
storm shed that he thought he would
like. He started to come in, but his
shoulders were too broad to go
through the door. The snow wall of
the storm shed was quite strong, but
so was the bear. 1t was UP to Craw-
ford and Maurer to keep the bear
out where he belonged. Maurer let

have whooped until eternity for all
the bear cared. Then the fellows
started to throw things. First, they
threw the firewood. then the pots
and pans and finally lhe dishes.
No stopping for Blows.
'Of course the bear was hit sew

come in. His old snoot was working
from side to side, and the gastric
juices were dripping from the end
of his tongue. I guess he was hun
CRY all right. At last the boys be-
gan to throw pieces of burning wood
from the stove. After little of this,
the bear retreated a short distance
from the camp.
Crawford was dressed warmer
than Maurer and he rushed out first
and grabbed his gun. BY this time
the bear was about hundred yards
away. Crawford dropped on the
ground and took steady aim. He
pulled the trigger, but the cartridge
did not explode. Crawford got ex-
cited, but the bear got excited too.
He started off at a gallop.

for a ways, but by this time the bear

scared stiff.
But this is not all. That night I

Gale had just come home from his
trap line. When he got close to the
camp he saw bear smiling about,
undisturbed. for I had taken the dogs
with me. He killed the bear. but
when he went inside the house he
found Ada half dead with fear
She was so frightened she hadn't
even put any wood on the stove and
consequently the fire had gone out

Other Encounters Noted.
Later entries in the diary show
other encounters with polar bears,
but they seem never to have been so
venturesome as during this particular
period.
With the meager means at hand
Ada Blackjack prepared TO make A
the Eskimo girl as lonely and de
people. She misses her sonny" and
the more lively life of Nome. The
boys realized then, IL they had not
done so before. that it was mistake
family. even with the additional cost
of the larger grub stake.
But by Christmas Ada had adjusted
herself and seemed more cheerful.
On December 90 knight records that
she is very Industrious and has been
very gay all day, especially after she
learned that Crawford and Maurer
would come from their trapping camp
for the holiday.
All of them made a gallant attempt
at gayety as Christmas approached.

Standards of Measure

For most of us the knowledge that
meter is 1897 inches longer than a
yard is quite sufficient. We must
know as much us that. because the
metric system OF measure is SO widely
employed that one constantly finds IL
necessary to turn meters into feet or
yards But the refnements Of modern
science demand far higher degree OF
accuracy in measurement than Is per-
hops ever dreamed of In the ordinary
walks of life. The pains taken to OBJ
tain precise standards of measure are
almost beyond belief of one who Is not
familiar with scientific methods.
Every one knows that so-caled
standard" bars, on which the exact
length of the yard and the meter are
marked, are in the possession of the
governments of the United States.
Great Britain. France and other cuun-
tries, but every one does not know
with what care these standards have
been compared ana with what patience
they have been infinitely measured
again and again. Washington Star.

LAND YET TO BE EXPLORED
Brazil Has More Wholly Unknown
erritory Than Has the Entire
African Continent.

just as the most remarkable devel-
opment Of the Nineteenth century took
place in North America, so the most
wonderful developments Of the Twenti-
eth century are destined to take place
in Latin America. Samuel c. lnman
writes in Current History. Here is
room for the oyercrowded populations
Of the world; here is power to pro-
duce the food and raw products for
the world; here is great market
place for the manufactured goods of
the world, and finally in these csun-
tries is found one of the most remark
able circles of intellectual leaders in
all civilization
Beginning at the Rio Grande and
stretching on down through Mexico,
over Central America, beyond Panama.
through Colombia and Venezuela, the
Andean countries, Brazil, Chile, down
through the Astounding plains of Argen-
tina to the Straits of Magellan, is the
largest expanse of undeveloped fertile
land in the whole world. There is
more undiscovered territory in Brazil
than there is in the whole continent
of Africa one state IN that mighty
republic equals the area of Great
Britain, France, Germany, Austria and
Switzerland. If Argentina We're as
densely populated as Is the state of
New York-and it is far more capable
of caring for dense population-it
would have 225O0O.0OO instead Of its
present population Of 100000 Ven
ezuela is not considered one of the
largest republics, but it has three
times more territory than Japan, while
Japan has population equal to that
of all South America Arguments
might have been made in the old days
against the dense population Of some
of these lands because they are tr0p-
zeal, but modern science has overcome
the difficulties Of the tropics for men.
The island of Santo Domingo is said
TO be more capable of sustaining a
dense population than any other sim
ilar-sized territory in the world. Now
that the United States is severely re
stricting immigration. the oyercroWded
populations Of the Orient and of Eu-
rope will very rapidly turn to the
great fertile fields and friendly eli
mates of these Latin-American coun-
tries.

GIVE WARNING OF STORMS
Tides Said to Show When Unusual At.
mospheric Disturbances May Be
Looked For.

II has been shown, in the opinion
Of certain scientists, that West Indian
hurricanes and other great storms at
sea frequently produce remarkable
effect upon the tides along ueighbor-
ing coasts
When a tempest is approaching. or
passing out on he ocean, the tides
are noticeabIy higher than usual as if
the water had been driven in a vast
wave before the storm. The influence
extends a great distance from the cy-
clonic storm center, So that the pos
sibility exists Of forctelling the ap-
proach of a dangerous hurricane 10y
means of indications furnished by the
tide gauges situated far away from the
place then occupied by the whirIing

sea is to the changes Of pressure
brought to bear upon It by the never
