Success.
Successful he who strives, e'en though
he fail;
His conscience gives applause along
the way.
Thus does he win Eternal Holy Grail!
His sun is ever bright—though
clouds obscure the day.
Strive on and keep .your ideal to the
fore;
Faint heart can never win; nor here,
nor there,
For in this day, as in the days of yore,
Achievement comes with courage.
and with prayer.
As perfume rare distilled from violet,
As lark's rich note, that mankind
ever bless,
So he who burden bears without re-
gret
Has solved Life's Problem; has
achieved success!

involved has been deposited by the
purchasers. By the terms of the'

CEREALS FALL OFF
88,000,000 BUSHELS
United States Crop Promises
Good Yields, Though Less
Than Last Year.
A despatch from Washington
says: A crop of 2496,000,000 bushels
wheat, oats, rye and barley is fore-
cast by the Government report for
June. This is 88,000,000 bushels less,
than last . year's harvest, but sug-
gests good yields, and night. be en-
larged
larged should present prospects main-
tain through till harvest, which is
already under way in winter wheat in
Kansas, Oklahoma. and Texas.
There is a promise of 578,000,000
bushels of winter and 251,000,000
bushels of spring wheat, a total of
829,000,000 bushels, while the crop
last year was 787,000,000 bushels.
Winter wheat estimates of 578,000,-
000
78,000;000 bushele show a loss of 51,000,000
bushels from the May returns. This
was attributed to numerous frosts late
in April and early in May, and to
drought in the South-west where the
bulk of the losses have occurred.
Coal and Oil in the Far
North.
The fact that tb^ axis of the a ;rtie
is tipped so far fr = e the vertical---
axo..t twenty-thcee and one-half de
gre: z --_s re peesitee far the e. rouse
of climatic zones and eepe.inily fir
the proloegeat cold and derkriese of
the Aretie winter. But the axis has
not always tipped at that angle;
through long periods the earth has
spun round in a position that made
the axis much nearer vertical. During`
those periods, the cuneate was much
more nearly uniform all over the
earth, and the vegetation at the poles
was not greatly unlike that in the
tropics.
It is hard for us to imagine such a
conlitian of affairs, hut there is plenty
of evidence that it really existed. One
of the most interesting discoveries
rade by explorers in the far north
is that of great coral Beans freely e.-
posed in the rocks of the seashore.
The country that now lies under sev-
eral thousand feet of ice and snow,
and that reproduces for us to -day the
aspect that all the northern countries
of the globe presented during the
great glacial ages, was once warm.
and equable in climato and covered
with the luxuriant growth of tree
ferns that was the distinguishing
characteristic of the Carboniferous
period.
Northern Greenlancl alcove the
seventy-eighth parallel has a very
moderate snowfall. Most of the mois-
ture is precipitated farther south, and.
so the rocks along the northern coast
are. not covered as they are in lower
latitudes with a load of ice. In those
rooks Dr. MacMillan, the explorer, has
seen coal seams ten Mud even fifteen
feet in thickness, so eaeiiy mined that
the Eskimos can pick the coal out
with their rude implements. The dif-
ficulties of getting to the region, the;
inconveniences of living there and the
still greater difficulties of getting any
cargoes away make those great coal
beds of no present commercial value;
but it is interesting to know that they
exist.
There is reason to believe, too, that
in the ,barren and inclement region
to the southeast of Hudson's Bay
there are great fields of oil. The
country is almost unexplored, but
there are Indian reports of oil oozing
freely from the soil in several places..
That means, of course, that the land,
now so inhospitable and sterile, was
once abundantly supplied with life,
either marine or terrestrial. It is oy
no means unlikely that it will become
in the not distant future one o f the
chief sources of petroleum.

cently been discovered near Sulphur
