One careful analy- sls by the United States Coast and Geodetie Survey, however, seems to indicate that the pole-point is shifting progressively southward toward the continent of North America. This would mean that in effect the cities of the United States are moving slow- ly to the north “You need Thave little worry, though, over the likelihood that the North Pole will turn up some day in your back yard. Even though one be- comes generous with assumptions and assumes that there is a southward movement of the pole-point and that it will continue steadily, its slowness makes the assumed shift almost negli- gible. The analysis referred to seems to indicate a southward drift of the pole amounting a trifle over six inches a year. This would amount to less than one mile in ten thousand years. In one million years the change would equal only 9 miles, At the rate as- sumed, in a million vears New York city would not be shifted as far north as the latitude of Boston today, Fres- no would have reached a point only 23 miles north of the present position of San Francisco, and Memphis would be shifted to about the present positfon of the south line of Ken- tucky.” Steel tempered in phenol has more elasticity and hardness than when it has been tempered in water.
