North Pole Receives
Full Share of Heat

The North pole, it is said, receives
more heat than the equator. OF
course, each hour of sunlight brings
more heat to the equator, but the
hours of sunlight each day increase
in number the farther one goes north.
Therefore, while the sun is shining
the arctic receives more hours of sun
light day than does the equator and
altogether it gets more heat, says the
Detroit News.
AS one goes north the length of
day increases more rapidly than the
amount of heat per hour decreases.
Consequently, although the heat per
hour received at Winnipeg, Canada,
is less than at New Orleans, the
amount Of heat received per day is
greater. That is one reason why in
July Winnipeg is frequently hotter
than New Orleans. For about five
weeks every summer more heat per
day is received from the sun on a
square mile in the arctic than at the
equator. However, the winters at the
North pole would be as hot as the
equator However, the winters at the
pole are long and great deal of
cold is stored up in the ice mass. This
the downpour of heat from
the summer sun.

Storks in Great Britain

A Welsh lad was recently attacked
by large stork which was believed
to have been blown from Holland by
storms. 1t is a somewhat strange fact
that storks have refused to breed In
the British isles except in Kew gar
dens. There pair started housekeep-
ing in the year of King Edwards
coronation, and clearly copied the de-
sign for their grotesque nest between
the two elm trees from Coronation
bonfire. They met with a multitude
of misfortunes. One year storklet
fell from the nest and broke its neck;
in another year a nesting was slain
by barnacle goose. A eliminating
disaster was the drowning of an en-
tire family by thunderstorm. When
the "storks' mound becomes a con-
gested district, superfuous storklets
are exported to populate other dis
tricts.

Martyr-SoIdier's Bible
GiUen Place of Honor

In the kings private library at
Windsor castle, as well as in the
kings library at the British museum.
the Bibles are a special feature, and
If 1t were possible to imagine these
treasures being put up to auction at
one of the famous salesrooms, all the
collectors in the world would gather
to bid for them.
But 1t is not an Illuminated Bible,
over which some monk spent half a
lifetime, or the earliest printed Bible.
or a "Breeches" Bible, or even a
'Bugge'' Bible-so called because it
says, In a certain well-known psalm:
"Thou shall not be afrayed for any
bugges by night''-which is the best
guarded and most honored copy of the
Scriptures.
This distinction belongs to worn,
even tattered copy of the Scriptures,
just the ordinary limp-backed little
Bible which thousands of people take
to church or keep in readiness there.
This Bible lies open, upon a beautiful
cushion, enclosed in an exquisite old
casket in window of Windsor castle.
The open page is much soiled and
thumbed, certain passages are under
lined and there are numerous penclled
notes In the margin. This is General
Gordon's Bible, given by his sister to
Queen Victoria. London Tit-Bits.

Thought for Next Day
Has No Place in Congo


In many parts of the Congo horses
are unknown and the natives are as
terrified at them as at an elephant or
a hippo, says Nine. Gabrielle M. vas
sal in the London Graphic.
Though the food ration of the Congo
natives is most frugal, consisting
chiefly of manioc, it is at least regu-
lar, and In this starving country is the
chief attraction to them and Keeps
them as a whole cheerful and healthy.
The Congo population is always
hungry, if not starving; 1t is impos-
sible to sound the depths of their lazi-'
ness and want of thrift. They never
think of the next day. When they
are paid they buy white helmet, a
tweed cap or a knitted tam-o'-shanter,
though their thick frizzled hair really
needs no covering. The reason for can
nibalism in the Congo is hunger more
than anything else, says Nine. Vassal.

Cutting the "Gordian Knot

This expression has its origin In the
tale of Gordius, a Phrygian peasant
owner of yoke of oxen, who became
king. He dedicated his car and oxen
TO Zeus, and the knot of the yoke was
tied SO skflfully that an oracle de
clared that whomsoever should un
loose it would be ruler of Asia. When
Alexander the Great came to Gordium
he cut the knot in two with his sword
and applied the prophecy to himself.

WELLER NAMED DELEGATE
TO FOREIGN CONFERENCE
Maryland Senator to go to Rep
resent U. S. at Interparlia-
mentary at Berne.

Senator Weller, with Senators Cur
tis of Kansas, Mckinley of Illinois,
Spencer Of Missouri, and Caraway
of Arkansas, have been designated as
delegates to represent the Senate of
the United States at the Annual Con-
ference of the parliaments of the
leading nations of the World, to be
held at Berne and Geneva, Switzer-
land, August 22-29, 1924.
Senator Weller, accompanied by
Senators Curtis and Caraway, will
sail from New York about the first
of August. They will go first to
Paris, and then motor through the
Battle Fields of France en- route to
Switzerland. The Conference will
continue a week, after which the
President of the Swiss Republic will
take the members of the Conference
to Lausanne, and then to Geneva,
where the Conference will be ad-
journed.
The delegation from the United
States will extend an invitation to
the Interparliamentary Union to hold
its next Conference in this country in
1925 probably at Washington, D. c.,
or perhaps in connection with the
Sesqui- Centennial Exhibition propos-
ed for Philadelphia in 1928.
The primary object of the Inter
parliamentary Union is to secure the
coopertion of the prominent men,
bers of the parliaments of the leading
nations of the World, and to study all
questions of an international charac
ter suitable for settlement by parlia-
mentary action.
The first meeting of the Union was
held in Paris in 1880, with only great
Britain and France represented. In
1889 there were delegates from nine
nations, including the United States.
Since then, annual meetings have
been held and interest has grown so
rapidly that at the last conference
thirty-four nations were represented
by delegations ranging in number
from one to twenty-one. These con-
ferences are held in the parliament
buildings of the respective countries
in whiche the Union is entertained.
Among the countries represented at
the conference are: the United States,
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada,
Chile, Denmark, Dutch Indies, Es
thonia, Finland, France, Great
Britain, Greece, Germany, Hungary,
Italy, Japan, Norway, the Neither
lands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland,
Sweden and Turkey.
Among the results achieved by the
Union has been its direct influence
upon the constitution of the Per-
manent Court of Arbitration at the
First Hague Conference in 1899. 1t
was also primarily responsible for
the calling of the Second Hague Con-
ference in 1907.
