Sinai, 9,280 feet, and Mount Etna, 10,280 feet, can be used as yard sticks to show the meaning of a vast body of land around the south pole, with its level surface more than 10,000 feet it. Hence it is on the sea level. spot of earth which means the south pole must then be at least 10,000 feet above the level of the north pole. This is the most remarkable discov- ery made in either of the frigid zones. It will take a good deal of study to show all it means. Two or three more expeditions to the south pole may make it clearer. School geog- raphies now say that the earth is a globe “a little flattened at the poles.” Perhaps it might be a little flattened at the south pole, even with the south pole higher above the level of the sea than the highest point in the moun- tains of Missouri. In that case, we must find out how and why it came to be so and all the rest there is to be learned about it. It will have to be put in school geog- raphies before long. Then public school teachers will have to explain Rone it. They cannot do it now.

Writing of far northern hunting methods, he thus describes how Eskimo kill the wary seal: “Many seals were seen on the fresh-made ice, and Eiseeyou, my head man, expressed a desire that I take charge of his dog team while he stalked some of them. Seals are ex- tremely shy, and great cdution must be practiced in approaching them. The Eskimos use a blind in the form of a miniature sledge, about eighteen inches in length by six: inches in width, with bearskin tacked on the runners. Fore and aft are two up- ed sticks, upon which the p s and to which it is lashed. On the front of the sledge a crossbar sustains two long perpendicular sticks, over, which a. piece of white cloth is stretched, or when that is not attainable, hare skin is substituted.

For some time the Marias des) Cygnes River has been encroaching | on the public road about a quarter of | a mile south of the Cornland bridge, until there is barely room enough for | a vehicle to pass and during high wa-| ters the water has been breaking over at this point, and unless something is done to relieve the situation the river will cut across and leave the Corn- land bridge isolated and of no further service to the public. In view of the fact that this bridge is in excellent condition, having recently been over- hauled, repaired and repainted, the! county court thought best to meet the | emergency. The entire court, to- gether with the County Highway En- gineer met William Louder, D. C. Mize and Alex Malone, members of the Township Board of New Home, .{ together with T. H. Tilson, overseer of the Road District, and H. M. Ball, representing John B. Henderson, owner of adjacent lands, on the site to consider the proposition of chang- ing the location of the public road and preventing the river from changing its course. Mr. Ball consented to recommend the granting of the new right-of-way for the road without cost to the county and the court de- cided, upon the advice of the Engi- neer, to put in a “jetty” to prevent the further encroachment of the river against the river bank. It is propos- ed to pull the willows out of the op- posite side of the river and by means of the jetty throw the current against the opposite bank thereby causing the sediment to deposit on the east side of the river where willows will be thickly planted to protect the east bank. A short levy will be built to prevent the water from overflowing the road.—E. B. Borron. City School Notes. The enrollment of the schools at the close of the second month was 695. This is a slight increase over the enrollment at this time last year. The following is the enrollment by schools: High School 163, Washington 159, Franklin 149, Webster 172, Douglas The percent of attendance for all the schools was unusually good, be- ing 95. There is one feature of the report in which we find nothing to compli- ment—the tardies. .. I will give the tardies by buildings, as they were reported tome: High School 64, Washington 24, Franklin 34, Webster 34, Douglas 3. The tardies total 159, for the sec- ond month, making a total of 306 for the first two months. Many of these tardies could have been avoided, if parents and pupils had exercised:a little more care. The work of the school is moving well. The teachers are working hard. Quitea few of the pupils in High School are not doing all they could. I feel that no pupil in these grades can do the work as it should be done without some home study. Parents, if your child is not studying at home, will you please see that he does. I would like to urge the patrons of the schools to visit us and see how it isto your interest to know the teach- er that has charge of your child for six hours of the day.

Lawrence, Kan., Nov.—The proph- ets Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah were classed as muckrakers and many of the stories of the Old Testament | termed myths by Dr. Charles Foster Kent of the Yale divinity school in a lecture before students of the Univer- sity of Kansas here. “The prophets of Israel were the social reformers of their times,’’ he said.. “They were muckrakers, to use a present-day term. They were sensational in their methods, notably Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah.’ Stories Did Good Work. While Prof. Kent believes that many of the stories in the Old Testa- ment are myths, he sees good in them. He says the prophets were teaching a simple people and were forced to use extraordinary means to drive home their points. In discussing the story of the Gar- den of Eden, the speaker said he be- lieved it to be a legend that served a good purpose, being well fitted to the childlike minds of the people to whom it was first related. in Kansas Grave. Solomon, Kan., Nov.—Going di- rectly from the train to the cemetery the 7th and 8th grades and in the}a few friends laid to rest Tuesday evening the body of Emma Regan brought here from Chicago by a cousin. The girl was one of the handsomest young woman of this vicinity sixteen years ago. Her par- ents are Mr. and Mrs. James Regan, of Niles. One day she left home and went to Denver with a traveling salesman e| named Snyde nd fo a nothing was heard of her. She was never located until last week, when her body was identified in a morgue in Chicago. Her husband secured a di- vorce and she was later in several western cities. Then she was sent to Hong Kong in the belief that she was to secure a position. There she was kept as a “white slave” for years, and was rescued by a government in- spector, who brought her back to this country. She located in Chicago, and tonics — the medicinal, ing, for Feeble Old People, Delicate Children, Weak, Run-down Persons, and to Counteract Chronic Coughs, Colds and Bronchitis, is because it combines the two most world-famed may raise the cake but alum is dele terfous and no one can eat tood \ mixed with it iN without tnju- \ ry to health there faded until she died in poverty.

Scott Sunday of blasting land with a view of converting hard pan which is considered almost worthless for farm- ing purposes into rich tillable land. Holes were drilled at certain inter- vals to a depth varying from three to five feet and charges of powder placed in them. One effect of the firing of the shots was manifest in the breaking up of the hard pan, bits of which was scattered in the other soil. It is argued that the loosening of the soil in this manner will allow the moisture to penetrate through the soil and thus produce larger crops than could be got in any other man- ner. The demonstration was also made in the orchard about trees that had not been bearing.—Pleasanton Enterprise. Sherman Denies T. R. Will Again Seek Office.

Ossining, N. Y., Nov.—Five hun- dred spectators, mostly women and children, narrowly escaped serious injury here in a fire panic in the Olive opera house when films in a moving picture machine caught fire. Many persons who scrambled down the single narrow flight of stairs to the exits were bruised. The fire burned itself out without great damage.
