World Also Has Two Mag.
netic Poles and Two
Poles of Cold.

Washington. Two poles of the
worlds rather generous supply are
monopolizing attention just now; the
North pole, in search of which Amund-
sen dropped from sight; and the North
magnetic pole, whose Vaccinations In

-eartographers and instrument makers
Tor the Macmillan Arctic expedition
are seeking to circumvent.
But these are not the only poles
that the earth has, a bulletin from
the Washington headquarters of the
National Geographic society points
out "The earth's polar posses
sions go by twos," says the bulletin.
Exactly opposite the North pole is
the South pole, and in the hemisphere
opposite the North Magnetic pole is
the South Magnetic pole. In addition
there Is a pole of cold both for the
northern and southern hemispheres.
The earth may be credited, therefore,
with SIX fairly we'll recognized poles

ABOUT the North pole undoubtedly.
than about all the other poles together.
In spite of the early lure which 1t
exerted, the North pole has been
visited only once in all recorded time.
Rear Admiral Robert e. Peary reached
1t on April 6, 1909 and spent 80
hours making observations in its vi.
cinity. He found it to be not on land,
but in the sea, though a sea covered,
of course by thick ice. Through
hole in this ice five miles south of
the pole Peary took sounding paying
out 5000 feet of wire without finding
bottom.

1T requires Imagination to appre-
c1ate the North pole. It is the imagi-
nary point where the imaginary axis
Of the earth emerges AS one stands
at the pole, every direction In which
he can face is south. In the summer
the sun makes a complete circle near
the horizon every "a hours, never drop
ping out Of sight; in the winter, if one
could stand there, he would see the
pole star directly overhead, while all
the other stars would appear to wheel
around 1t.
1.-The North pole is rigid enough. but
1t cannot boast that it Is absolutely
fmmovable. For reasons not entirely
clear, it wabbles, describing a rough
circular path about fifty feet in diam
eter about every fourteen months

preached, and, when Boothnia is

this theoretical position it would be sit

south latitude Instead, 1t lies east
ward nearly a quarter Of the earth's
circumference, near the one hundred
and f1fty-ffth degree of east longitude,
south of the easternmost point of Aus
tralia.
THE earth may be said to have a
fifth and sixth pole, poles Of cold It
might be expected that the geographic
poles would be the points of lowest
temperature, but the arrangement of
water, having a tempering effect, and
land and altitude, tending toward cold,
makes the theoretical poles Of cold
fail to conform exactly to the physical
poles Temperature records for the
southern polar regions are rather
meager, but it is probable that the
southern pole Of cold Is in the high
lands Of the Antarctic continent, not
far from the South pole.
due to the great land masses of
the northern hemisphere, especially
that Of Eurasia. the northern pole of
cold Is far from the North pole. 1t
is situated west of Verkhoyansk, ST.

from the mouth Of the Lena river. This

SERVICE
President and Cabinet Honor
Memory Of Dead German
Leader

With President Coolidge and the
entire Cabinet in attendance,
memorial services for the late
President Frederick Ebert of Ger
many were held in Concordia
Lutheran Church, Twentieth and
G streets northwest, at noon to-
day.
The Reverend Charles Enders,
pastor of the church, delivered a
brief funeral Grafton, drawing =
contrast between the inaugural
festivities Of Washington and the
mourning which prevailed in Ger
many.
Death Loss TO World.
President Ebert was man Of
humble origin" said Doctor Enders,
"and he represented the highest
aspirations OF the German people.
His death is a loss to the world.
/ believe he was appreciated in the
United States as well as In his
home country.
Under such man as President
Ebert. the future of Germany was
safe. All classes of the German
people have reason to mourn the
day that death cut him down."
The funeral services were in
charge OF Doctor d. E. Hops,
charge d'affaires Of the German en-
bassy, and there was a good repre-
sentation Of the Diplomatic Corps
as well as of the Federal Govern
ment. The services opened with
the singing of Nearer, My God.
to Thee,S by the congregation.
Prayer In German.
Doctor Paul A. MendeIl, former
pastor of the church, now of the
Evangelical Synod of North Ameri-
ca, offered a prayer in German
and the reading Of the scripture
followed. Charles T. Tittman, sang
THE Lord is My Shepherd" and
memorial address followed. The
congregation then sang abide
With Me" and a benediction by
Doctor Enders concluded the SER
vices.
Most of the German societies
and organizations of Washington
were represented.

RAIN SAVES $4,000 GAS
ON TRIP OF LOS ANGELES

Rain water worth 81 pound to
the United States Government fell
recently. it was revealed today in
the official log Of the airship Los
Angeles following the recent trip to
Bermuda.
The report shows that the addi-
tional weight gained when the great
ship ran into rIinstorm two hours
before landing made it possible for
the ship to descend without valving
and losing helium.
1t is estimated that the 1000
pounds of water which wet the
outer skin saved $4,000 worth Of
helium which would have been lost
in ordinary landing.
So heavy was the burden Of rain
on the. ship that no extra fuel or
supplies could be taken aboard for
