Delegate Wickersham has been
informed that the House Joint Res
olution providing for the appro-
priation of $4,000 to defray the
expenses of participation by the
Government in the Second Polar
Year Program, August l, 1882 to
August 81, 1888, is likely to pass
the Senate and thus become a law,
as the Resolution has already
passed the House.
Most of this money will be used
to erect and maintain a station at
Fairbanks. According to the plan
there are to be some so stations es-

Our Government is allotted a
station at or near Fairbanks,
Alaska. The idea is that at an
instantaneous moment throughout
the world the whole 80 stations
will take observations, SO that when
all the data is gathered together
the station in Alaska can say what

The bedroom door opened and
Molly entered. She was visibly ex-
cited. Her black, curly hair stood
out in little drake-tails. Her blue
eyes blazed. For once she had not
even taken time to powder her
pretty face.
Hurry, child" she said to Ellen.
"You mustn't keep Mr.. Barclay
waiting. It's bad enough having no
phone"
Again Ellen felt a rising irrita-

Mr.. Barclay?" she snapped.

ously. Don't be SO slow, honey"
Il can't run through the halls

Ellen took a quick brush at her
hair, slipped into pumps and ran
out of the apartment and down the
four flights of stairs.
The only telephone in the house
was in Mrs. Clancy's apartment on
the first floor. The six families who
occupied the building we're, in the
generous phrase of Mrs. Clancy,
perfectly welcome to use the phone
so long as they pay for outgoing
calls"
And as long as they let Mrs. Clan
cy listen in on their business, Ellen
thought privately.
Sure enough, the fat, good-na-
tured Irish woman was waiting in
the hall at the foot of the stairs.
For all the world like master of
ceremonies she said, Fright this

Then after she had shown Ellen
where the telephone was Gas if Ellen
had not known before) she placidly
settled herself in the vicinity of the
conversation.
Unfortunately for the listener the
conversation was extremely short.
Ellen replaced the receiver, present.

Mrs. Clancy saw a golden oppor-

She said quickly and ingratiating-

mother was telling me all about?"
Il don't know who you mean,"
Ellen replied coldly.
Sure you do" said Mrs. Clancy,
chuckling. II mean Mr.. Steven Bar
