Frozen South.
A General View.


A FTER months spent in the lands
~ around the South Pole, an ex-
n plorer returned to England; and
people asked him many ques-
tions, including this one: "Is it
hot down there?"
When the explorer told them that
the Antarctic was not hot, but eX-
tremely cold. some persons seemed
astonished. and said: why, thought
closer you got to the Equator, and the
hotter the weather got.
Persons who spoke in that manner
must not have been careful students OF
geography Except in mountain re-
gions, it is true that the weather Is hot
near the Equator, but that is only part
of the story.
Go past the Equator and you will find
Southern lands which have almost the
same climate as we have-except that
their seasons are turned around. Ar
gentina has Summer right now; but SIX
months from now-in July-Argentlna
will be in the midst Of Winter.
Go farther South than Argentina,
and you will reach land which is fro
zen the whole year around. That land
Is part of what we call "the Antarctic"
Around the South Pole Is mass Of
ice and snow which is believed to rest
upon a continent larger than Australia.

TNTHE hands of Farmer Browns Boy
covered Tommy Tit the Chickadee,
his little heart going thumpty-
i thump. thumpty- -thump from the
dreadful fright he had just had
He was no longer afraid. Never had
he felt safer than he did now, although
there was not one of his feathered
friends in the Old Orchard but would
have been afraid had they been in his
place. But Tommy Tit knew this big
friend and trusted him. Without hesi-
tation Tommy had flown straight to
him when chased by the stranger who
had brought fear to the Old Orchard,
and it was well for him that he had.
Now the bold stranger was perched
in tree near by watching and waiting
for Tommy Tit to be released. Farmer
Browns Boy looked up at him. Butcher
the Shrike!" he exclaimed. so you
are the cause of the fear which has
kept my friends away from my feeding
station for the last few days. I didn't
once think of you. 1t Is long. long
time since last saw you around here,
fore I see you again. You may be all
right elsewhere. but don't want you
around my feeding station or in the
Old Orchard. suppost hard times
brought you here. They say you live
most of the year on Mice and insects,
and take to killing your feathered
neighbors only when other food Is
scarce. You are welcome to all the
Mice you can catch, but when you take
to hunting my little friend Tommy Tit
and his friends something has got to
be done about it. Yes, sir, some
thing has got to be done about It,"
He took Tommy Tit over to one of
the bird houses, slipped him inside and
partly closed a little sliding door so
that Tommy couldn't get out. Then
he went back to his own house and
entered. A moment later he stepped
just such a terrible gun as hunters
carry.
Now the chase of Tommy Tit by
Butcher the Shrike had been watched
by many of Tommy's friends. anxiously
peering out from hiding places. Great
was the excitement when they saw him
fly straight to Farmer Browns Boy for
protection. Also great was their ad-
miration. Now when they saw Farmer
Browns Boy come out with a terrible
gun in his hands their excitement be-
came greater than ever. Was he going
to shoot Butcher the Shrike? Never
had they seen SFarmer Browns Boy
shoot anybody. but they knew a terrible
gun when they saw it. and this GER
tainly was terrible gun which he held.
Butcher the Shrike still boldly sat
where he had flown when Tommy Tit
had escaped him. Farmer Browns
Boy pointed his terrible gun and every
body held his breath. Bang went the
terrible gun! Everybody looked to see
Butcher the Shrike fall to the ground
dead. He didn't. Instead he hastily
spread his wings and few away faster
than any one had seen him fly before.
Farmer Browns Boy had missed him
Yes, sir, he had missed Butcher the
Shrike. He hadn't touched so much
as q feather. The truth is he hadn't
intended to- He hadn't shot at Butcher,
but above him. He was trying to scare
Butcher, not hurt him.
Butcher alighted In tree at the far
end OF the Old Orchard. Farmer
Browns Boy followed. Bang went the
terrible gun again, and all the feathered
folk shook at the sound. Again Butcher

across the Green Meadows and the last
