So the fixed meridian upon which the detertain- ation of longitude and tirae depeeds is lacking, and it is neoessary t� assume an arbitrary direction as the meridian. A Parallel of latitude is reduced to a single point and longitude entirely vauishee. Time also vanishes, for it is always local noon, Jur winds blowing over the vole blow from the south and also toward the south at the same tirae. The magnetic needle points flue south. The stars do not rise and set, but describe a circle around the horizon. The north star is not ditectly over- head, but describes a circle four and one half times as broad as the sun's face. If a inan should walk westward on a parallel of latitude three and one- half miles from the pole ab the rate of mule an hell; he would be traveling west at the same velocity with which that part of the earth is goiug west. So he would not be moving at all, but would be treading the earth under his feet in the same way that a dog walks on a rolliug barrel. The auroras shod their mysberious ra- diance over the long polar nights,- The phenomena of auroras extend through a zone the centre of which is near the magnetic pole, but the maximum effeet Is observed at a considerable distanee from this pole. Inside this belt of maxi- mum effect mamas are seen to radiate from points botb north. and south of the zenith, but at places outside the belt they stream only from the north. There appears to be an intimate rela- tion between the distribution of auroras and thee of barometric pressure in the polar regions. To science the discovery of the pole is of greet importance. A knowledge of the ocean depth, winds and temperature at the pole are of the greatest 'Value in geography and meter - otology. The centenary of Tennyson naturally attracted more attention in England than in America. 'Tis well. This is the age of limericks, not of poetry. It is poetry to write a few thousend lines "To a Mole Just Behind My Lady's Ear," or "To a Young Man Who Is ieboet to Become Assistant Janitor in an Art Gallery," or "To G ," or "To a Hair From the Tail of My Lady's 154." That's poetry, and Tennyou could write it arid did. If a man. tried to write such poetry nowadays'we would promptly incarcer- ate him. Think of a human being to -day sitting down seriously to read "In Me- morium," much less to write it. As for getting a publisher for it, why, the very idea is preposterous. Or take "Enoch Arden," for instance which Is in some- what lighter vein. We have no difficulty in conjuring up a mental picture eV& uisit.ributor using. up valuable postage stamps -Crying to dispose of it to a mis- value editor. Even if it got a thorough reading, it would be rejected bemuse of its sad ending. We repeat, 'tis well. Poetry doesn't jibe with telephone, automobiles, Empire State expresses, apartment hoeses, sub- ways, suburban trolleys, quick lunch counters, Coney Islands, tabloids, di- gests, vaudeville and musical comedy. TO enjoy poetry, one must eeek a sylvan glade, with no disturbing !sound but twittering birds and. soughing winds, but every sylvan glade is now bedecked with real estate signs. One must have plenty of tirne able, and the intellect of a child. One must love love for love's sake, art for art's sake, and. words for words' sake. Nowadaye people went their ideas eerie& hot off the bat and half baked on one side only. But evert that is bet- ter than poetry, where the idea is en- tirely subordinated to its dressieg, where the substance doesn't matter so long as the form is engaging. We repeat again, 'tis well.—Ellis 0.

"For a period last slimmer:the thought of food excited feelings of nausea," writes Mrs. C. .A, Dodges, of Blooms- lauy. "The heat. bad made me listless and the distaste for food reduced me to a condition of semeetarvation and. brought me to the verge of nervous col - Tepee. Tonics were useless to restore an active desire for food. The doctors told. me my- liver and kidneys were both at fault, but the medicines they gave me Were too severe and reduced, iny strength so that I had t abandon them. At the suggestion of a friend Who lied been cured et blood and skin trouble, I be- gan the use of Dr. Hamilton's Pills. The difference I first noticed was, that while they cleansed the system, instead of feeling weaker I felt better after tak- leg them. Indeed their activity was so raild it was easy to forget I had taken there at all; they seemed, to go riglat to the liver, and in a very brief time not only did all source of nausea disappear but I began to crave food and I digested it reasonably well. Then I began to put on weight until within three months I was brought to a condition of good health. I urge Dr. Hamilton's Pills for all who are in poor health."

Canada is one of the greatest asbestos prancers in the world, the Dominion and the United States yielding 80 to 00 per colt» of the world's output. Now, we are told, that the United States and Canadian mine -owners have formed a combine capitalized at something like $50,000,000.
