Joys of Exploration
Found in Adventure

One is often asked what is the
attraction and what are the joys
of polar exploration. The answer
fs-Adventure-going where man
has never gone before. Achieve
ment - discovering something Of
value to mankind, such as the
whale-fishery of South Georgia; or
ramming your way through ice or
any difficulties under steam or sail.
The wonderful pure beauty of these
regions and last, but not
least = comradeship-the comrade-
ship of men. Men who fight along
side you, toll with you, laugh with
you, and chaff you. Pals
who stand by each other through
thick and thin; who share trials,
hardships, joys, dangers and food,
and are determined at all hazards.
to "see it through" together. For
such men you feel a great affection,
and the results are teamwork and
loyalty of the finest, highest quail
ity, with joy of memory that never
fades away.-From "Under Sail in
the Frozen North" by Commander
f. A. WOrSley.

Measurement of Time
Vague Among Sauages

Strange methods Of counting
time are in vogue among savages
and semicivilized peoples, and often
the scarcity or abundance of RAJ
lions serves to measure the year.
Thus, in Alaska, one month is
known as people gnaw BELTS" for
at that time seals and fish are par
ticularly scarce and the tribes are
often on the verge of starvation.
In Dahomey, French West Africa,
the year is divided only into the
time Of planting and eating maize,
of planting again, and Of harvest.
The Polynesians have a month
Iof grumbles," the time of little
food, rainy weather, smoking
houses, watering eyes and constant
Iquarrels. Among more primitive
races the measurement of time is
even more vague. The chief Of a
Pacific island may reply, when
asked how long his house has been
standing, that it has existed for
only two smallpox epidemics.
These methods of distinguishing
the seasons, it is said, are akin to
the inability of primitive peoples to
count. There is a saying in Den
mark that all who desire to remain
Iperpetually young should 60 to
Greenland, where they will never be
more than twenty years old. No
native Of Greenland can count
above twenty, it is said.-Detroit

Beauty From, the Beast

What so free, do you think, as
reptile gliding along in it's own
Southern swamp? Yet even these
wild creatures are being trapped
and killed and made into leather
shoes.
The tanning of a reptiles skin
Is accomplished by means Of Sc
cret mixtures known only to manu-.
facturers. English and Dutch mer-
chants first put on the market goods
made from the skin of a water
snake of Java and Sumatra. The
women of Paris carry bags from
the skin of the terrible python, and
probably never think of it, though
they would shrug their shoulders
and tell you they were terrified of
snakes. Even the fearful boa con-
strictor contributes it skin to the
call of fashion.

flew over the Great Salt Lake
Desert to Battle Mountain, Neva-
da, where we spent the night.
We took off from Battle Noun
tain with full gas tanks and, after
following the passes until part of
the fuel was consumed and the
load correspondingly lightened, we
passed over the Sierra Nevada
range at $500 feet, and landed at
Oakland, California. The same
evening, without refilling, we flew
over San Francisco Bay to Crissey
Field.
The following day we took off
from Crissey Field on the start of
our race to New York. One of the
rules of the contest was that each
plane should carry log with the
starting point and number of pas
sengers carried attested to by two
witnesses.
BY the time we had made out
the log and serwiced our plane, it
was afternoon, and darkness over
took us at Lovelocks, Nevada.
The next night was spent in
Rawlins, Wyoming, after stop at
Salt Lake City for fuel.
We arrived in Rawlins with a
valve blowing badly and were de-
layed a day in pulling the bank
and grinding in another valve.
We were far behind our sched-
ule, due to the late start from Den
yer, the delay at Evanston, and
again at Rawlins; but without
further trouble we would still be
able to reach New York on time.
Another valve began blowing, how
ever, soon after leaving Rawlins,
and when we took-off from our
next stop at Sidney, Nebraska, the
motor had lost a number of revo-
lutions.
We flew to Lincoln from Sidney
and after taking the short remain
ing time into consideration, we de-
cided to abandon the race and
start transforming.
We overhauled the engine at
Lincoln and worked over towards
st. Louis, where we arrived about
the end of October.
At St. Louis we decided to tie
up for the Winter and l began in

T.uain's Literary Dinner

While travelling in England, Mark
Twain was entertained by the ed

at a dinner which he later spoke
Of as one of the happiest incidents
of his life. 1t was characteristic
of the American humorist that, al
though many honors were accorded
him, among them the presentation
of the famous red and gray robe of
an Oxford doctor" he got his
greatest delight from the menu

were named for his books. -

The Taste Test

Walter and Lawrence were in the
habit of saving a part of their des-
sert from the evening dinner for
consumption the next afternoon,
and, in accordance with this custom,
two small cakes had been placed
in the cracker jar for them. Will
liam, being the first on the scene
the next afternoon, went to the jar.
He found only one cake, and large
piece had been bitten out of that.
Full of wrath he went upstairs and
reused his brother.
"Say," he demanded, 81 want to
know who took that big bite out of
my cake?"
II did," sleepily answered Law
renee.
"What did you do that for?"
"Well, when l tasted it l found 1t

Explaining Myopia

Some justification for calling
near-sighted motorist poor fish"
was advanced recently at the con-
venti0n of the American Academy
Of Optometry. 1t was said that
near-sightedness, or myOpia, is
prevalent because NAH has not yet
completely lost some Of the charac-
teristic Of fish. His eyes natu-
rally diverge to the right and left
instead of looking straight ahead.
The inner muscles Of the eye, in
trying to correct this and retain the
parallelism of the vision, subject
the eye to strain which produces
myopia.

MAN KILLED IN PLANE

Philip Butturff was killed in an

The accident happened about
eight o'clock in the evening. Two

Snotu on Mountain Peaks

There are two main reasons why
some mountain peaks have snow
upon them the year around, while
Others of the same height and latf-
Itude do not. Temperature is not
1.-THE same, for the same height, all
around the earth along a given par
|allel of latitude. In temperate re-
gions, for instance, the eastern
portion of a continent is colder
than the western; precipitation
varies greatly along parallel lat
itude. The duration of snow on a
mountain peak obviously varies
with the average temperature and
the amount of snowfall. These
vary along a parallel Of latitude;
hence some mountain peaks may
be snow-covered throughout the
year, while others of the same
height and latitude are not.

CHAPTER Xxx

The International Air Races
i. were to be held, that year, at New
York during the first part of Octo-
Der and, since our fair contracts
were over by the last of September,
we decided to enter in the con to
New York" competition, which was
for civilian planes only, and was
decided by points given for dis
tance, speed, number of passeng-
ers carried, and the size of the en-
CINE used.
We had our motor overhauled at
Denver and expected to fly from
there to San Francisco for the
start. Some of the repair parts
for the engine were delayed and
we were several days late in
leaving Denver. Even then it was
only through night work and leav-
ing a number of things undone
tina we got away. "A fifty gallon
center section gasoline tank had
been installed which, in addition to
the regular fuselage tank, gave US
a capacity of one hundred and
seven gallons.
We installed the engine one
night and idled it for several
hours before daybreak in order to
work in the bearings; then we took
off for San Francisco.
Our first stop was at Rawlins,
Wyoming, where the highest field
on the transcontinental air mail
route is located. We refilled at
Rawlins and made Evanston that
night.
At Evanston we were starting
the engine preparatory to taxing
over and tying down for the night,
when our carburetor caught fire.
In the haste to get started we had
neither put fire screen on the
intake nor drain pipe down from
the bowl.
The engine was covered with oil
and the gasoline overlooking from
the bowl carried the flames down
around it. Soon the entire nose of
the ship was ablaze and, although
we shoveled earth over the motor,
it appeared that the wings would
soon catch fire. If the fabric be-
gan to burn, the ship. was gone.
I had just finished removing all
loose equipment from the cockpit
when a small hand extinguisher
arrived, and with its aid the fire
was soon put out.
All of the ignition wire insula-
ton was burned off, but otherwise
very little damage had been done.
We were delayed twenty-four
hours rewriting the engine and
cleaning out the dirt shoveled on
In the attempt to put out the fire.
After Rawlins we stopped at
Salt Lake City, and from there we

rounding out a newspaper adver-
Using campaign. Newspaper read

papers as messengers which carry

For Repairin4

Plaster of paris Is useful for
repairing articles in the home, but
1T will not Withstand water very
well. It is a good idea when pre-
pairing the plaster to mix with milk
instead Of water, but the milk must
be absolutely fresh. Plaster pre-
pared in this way will resist damp
ness to considerable degree. The
only difference in the working is
that the plaster does not become
hard quite so rapidly, which is
really an advantage, as It allows q
longer time In which to do q job
of repairing.

No Written Constitution

England and France do not have
written constitutions in the gen.
orally accepted sense of the term.
The present government of Great
Britain is based upon a series Of
acts and fundamental laws passed
since the signing of the Magma
Charta. Parliament, however, is
supreme and can make laws which
do not agree with those acts often
spoken of as 'the British consti-
tuition" The government of France
is based on several organic acts
passed after the fall of Louis Ma
p0leon. These acts do not consti-
tute a written constitution in the

America's Motto

When John Adams was minister
to Great Britain in 1887 1t was sug-
gested to him that the Latin phrase
meaning "out of many, one" would
make fitting motto for the new
Independent colonies. On his re-
turn to America he transferred the
suggestion to his friend, Charles
Thompson, secretary Of congress.
who In 1892 reported his design for
a government seal In which the
phrase, 3 Pluribus Unum, appeared

SUPPLEMENTAL Meal

"Tiffin" or "tiff," the most usual
form, is the name Of light repast
between breakfast and lunch, says
the Pathfinder Magazine. 1t Is de-
rived from an old northern Eng
lish word "tiff," meaning to drink,
sip or quaff.
The tiffin is a general custom
only in India. The refreshments
at the tiffin usually consist of cur
ried foods and fruits. Sometimes
the word 'tiffin" is applied In
England and this country to any
lunch, especially in the afternoon
between the midday meal and din
ner or supper.
