Where the Real Fault Lay

The tourist was one of that type

more numerously encountered abroad

he was particularly interested in Eng
fish towns. or in English cathedrals
either, but because the guide book ad-
vised him to do so.
Near the close of a glorious spring
afternoon he stood on the greensward
facing Canterbury cathedral with his
legs planted far apart, his cap on the
back of his head, his hands rammed
deep into his trousers pockets, his
cigar stuck into one corner of his
mouth, and on his face an expression
betokening profound boredom.
The celebrated Canterbury chimes
were ringing for vespers, filling all the
air with silver melody, when a side
door of the cathedral opened and there

North Pole Receives
Full Share of Heat

The North pole, II 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 1t 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 q
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 n great deal Of
cold Is stored up In the Ice mass, This
neutrallzes the downpour of heat from
the summer sun.
