WINDIEST ZONE OF
NORTH HEMISPHERE

The windlest zone of the northern
hemisphere embraces the northern
United States and southern Canada.
The windlest months are those OF late
autumn. winter and very early spring.
August has the lowest average wind
velocity, March and early April the
highest Wind Is the flow of air from
an area Of low pressure. The greater
the contrast Of pressure between the
masses OF air over two adjacent re
gions the swlfter and stronger will
the wind blow. Pressure differences
are largely dependent upon tempera.
ture contrasts In summer the tenn
perature contrast between high and
low ATTITUDES Is relatively Erhall, In
winter 1t Is great, for while the snow
and Recovered North gets colder and
colder, In low attitudes there Is little
temperature variation through the
year Therefore, the pressure gradl-
cnt, to use the term Of meteorOlogy, Is
gentle In summer and steep In winter.
The gradient may be likened to slope
Of land The air pushes down the
gradient from high pressure to low,
as water flows down variable slope.
The sleeper the slope, the greater the
velocity. whether II be air or water.
Therefore. because the gradient is

are the winds. There IL, however. 4 Gu.

THIS ESKIMO HAD GUMPTl0N
Work Of Native Woman, who Was

ton, 10 Marvellous.

Those who have followed the daily
press during recent weeks have prob
ably noticed the disastrous and tragic
ending of the recent Wrangel island
arctic expedition. In the account of
which Ada Blackjack, an Eskimo
woman, figures strlkingly, says Mad
ison Cooper In the Flower Grower.
For fortltude, courage, resourceful-
ness, religious merit and all around
gumption, Ada Blackjack serves as an
object lesson to many of her brothers
and sisters of greater opportunities
and enlightenment. Compared with a
person of the strongest mental bal
ance and with the greatest physical
endurance and experience. the accom-
plishments of this mite OF humanity
(she is less than FIVE feet tall, are most
marvellous. While nursing dying

weeks, this little woman performed all
of the duties necessary for an exist
ence In the polar regions. including
cutting wood, trapping, hunting, cook.
ing. etc. She even during this time
learned to use firearms and shot seals
to help out the scanty food supply.
The real worth of human being IL
only demonstrated by necessity com
blned with opportunity. Under clrcum-
stances which we Of the so-called civ
illzed races of the earth would prob
ably have succumbed to discourage
ment and disease, Ada Blackjack rose
triumphant and never showed the
white feather or what our modern
slang calls yellow streak" If Ada
Blackjack is good representative of
her race, truly the Eskimo has never
been valued at his true worth.

Cold shrInks Everything.

Nearly everything shrlnks as It gets
cooler. As there Is the same weight
in less volume any given volume
weighs more. The cooler anything Ia,
the heavier Is any given volume Of 1t,
with the important and Vital exception
Of water. Water has the peculiar prop
erty Of getting heavier all the way
dOwL the scale until the temperature
Of 80 degrees Fahrenheit Is reached;
then It begins to e~pand again until It
freezes and afterward. As result,
a given volume Of water at 81 degrees,
or the temperature at which It freezes,
Is lighter than water at 80 degrees and
rises above II before freezing begins.
The Ice being still lighter, floats on
the water. n water did not have this
queer property, Ice would form on the
bottom Of bodies Of water, there would
be no protection Of the surface by
layer OF Ice from further cooling and
many rivers and lakes would freeze
solid, killing all the fish. The summer
sun would never be able to melt all Of
the. winters Ice.

Meaning of Word "Sib"

Until a few years ago there were
probably few people outside the max
ers Of dictionaries who had ever seen
or heard the word "sib." Yet In the
rural districts Of England II used to
be a good enough word, a little rough
and uncouth, like other short and ugly
terms, but with clear and definite
meaning that no other single word
had. II means brother or a sister,
or sometimes any collateral relatives
of the same stock Yet the expression
never got into good society until the
science OF eugenics came along The
eugenlsts took to It right away for II
filled for them long-felt want, and
in papers on eugenics II Is frequently
met, meaning brother or sister Sci
ence has given II a good character and
new dictionary writer's will have to
take from II the tag which labels II
~ uncouth and out Of date.

GRIM REALISM IN
"HEARTS AFlAME'

Realism is the outstanding feature
OF Reginald Barker's latest production,
Hearts Aflame," a Metro photoplay
which presents Frank Keenan, and
Anna Q. Nilsson at the head of a
strong cast at the Colonial Theatre.
From start to finish, the picture car
ries with it an air of reality and con,
viction that only sincere effort could
produce.
In making the production, Mr. Bar
ker was not limited by either cost or
time in his determination to get big,
smashing effects and realistic thrills
In the scenes of Hearts Aflame." On
one occasion during the six months
consumed in the filming of the story,
he took his entire company UP to
Cranbrook, British Columbia, where
he spent seven weeks getting wonder
full outdoor scenes with an extensive
forest of majestic pines as a back
ground for the action.
While in the Canadian woods, the
director aunched the first thrill of the
picture, blowing up a dam and releas-
ing ten thousand huge logs to 20
racing madly down the river. He had
to construct the dam especially for
the scene, making it as substantial
and as correct from an engineering
standpoint as though it were to stay
for years. This was necessary in
order to hold the logs and provide
the proper effect in the explosion.
But the greatest feat in the picture,
and incidentally one of the most dar-
ing projects ever attempted for the
screen, is the raging forest fire cpl
sode which builds up to the powerful
climax OF the stage. Staged under
the personal supervision OF County
Forester Stuart ]. Flintham and his
force OF one hundred deputies, the
fire sweeps through twenty acres OF
pine trees while Anna Q. Nilsson
braves the flames at the throttle OF
locomotive in wild ride for power
to dynamite whole mountainside
Twenty cameras were used to re.
cord the spectacle, and the startling
results on the screen are more than
Just reward for the tremendous
chances taken by Miss Nilsson and the
