The Editor of the Evening Dull ade asked me to run down and sce if the Professor was good for a column, 1 found the Professor glued to a telescope-shaped instru. ment which was pointed toward the ninetieth parallel. It was really a curious telescope, and the Professor's way of using it was also rather different from my former ideas. Instead of having his cye glued to the lower end of the instrument, he was using his mouth. I decided it must be a very inter- esting study, because T noticed the Professor was as if hypnotized. After a few minutes the Professor noticed my presence, and T immedi- | ately began to question him. “Professor, T am from the Blade,” 1 ventured. “Hic! From the Blade, eh? Well, you look dull enough to be from the Blade,” was the Professor's kindly greeting. 5 “Sir, what kind of an instrument was that you were just using?” 1 enquired. g “That is—Hic—one of my latest inventions.
