branches. She awakes, yawns, and
throws aside the green covers. Then
slowly and materially. she rises, gath
ering to her bosom the pale, sick chest
nut trees, the mountain pines, the oaks
in their autumnal scarlet, the corn
patches and tiny leg cabins, the wistful,
ragged children and The bare, frowninc
erags.
And as she rises she enfolds the
minds Of men and makes them part
OF her mystical, drifting, floating, flut-
tering substance. What weird concepts
which through the centuries have be.
come a part Of the pattern of human
consciousness have been created In
that development of the human mind
In the rising dusk of the mountain
hollows?
Out of the caverns she brings the
creatures Of the darkness-the vague,
gray shapes which under the proper
stimulus become distinct as ghosts,
ogres and witches. Thus superstitions
are born in the mountains. Out Of the
enchantnent of the dusk they evolve
to become part of the heritage which
the mountain people bestow upon hui
mainly
In the cleaning the person in the
valley looks up to the lingering sunset
and the rising stars. The mountaineer
looks down into the unearthly beauty
of the rising dusk, with the familiar
trees and crags growing mere and more
indistinct until they become fluttering
phantoms, fit forms for the incarnation
of yearnings and fears.
The october dusk is gentle and moth
eriy. The phantoms which 1t creates
are ethereal forms fit for the nursery.
But there is also the storm-torn dusk
CT shrieking winds and driving rain out
of which arise far different forms which
remain to haunt the race.
The student of human superstitu-
tions can Ill afford to overlook this
phenomenon Of the heights and the
hollows in his search for the primal
substance Of decisions which become a
part of culture patterns. Where night
rises from the depths instead Of fall
ing from above, strange and appealing
concepts arise. There is little in COM
mon between dusk in the mountains
and dusk in the valleys.

Interest Shown in Byrd
Plans for Polar Summer
rom the Texarkana Gazette.

It Is interesting TO have some idea
Of what Condr. Byrd plans to do in
his second Antarctican Summer, begin
ming next December, his first Summer
having been a period of preparation

through a course of training as well as
becoming acclimatized. Comdr. Byrd
expressed the hope that his expedition
would De able to learn more of the
Antarctic in two short seasons than all
the brave and. able men who had suf-
fered or given their lives in other en-.
petitions" What Is there to be learned
and what are the ventures he proposes
for his now seasoned men to under
take?
In q published article before his de-
parture he said he wanted to discover
whether a strait overlaid with ice d.
vides Antarctica, whether one of the
great mountain ranges is a continual
ton Of the Andean cordillera study
for his geologists), and that he wanted

apparently there is much of this to be
done. Tor 1t is stated that part of the
interior southeast of King Edward VII
Land Is terra incognita.
The scientific side of the Byrd ex-
psdition is regarded as important as
geographical discovery, and there will
be study Of auroral displays, earth radi-
alton, radioactivity of snow and ice and
glaciology. There will also be expert
ments in magnetism and spsctro-
photography. Records of meteorology
will be kept. fossil and rock specimens
collected, and the biologists will be on
Byrd's aeronautic and scientific equip
r1ent, with his chosen men of the best
type. it is reasonable to expect that
under his leadership valuable data will
be obtained.
