One of the moBt interesting spot® on the globe is the north magnetic pole, if a mariner were to find him self there, the neefije of his compass would afford him no indication of di rection. Were tfie needle suspended in such a way as to move as it listed, it would point vertically downward toward the centre .of the earth. The earth is a huge magnet. R has two points called the~ magnetic polos—-points on its surface where the compass needle, if free to do so, Would stand precisely vertical. The north magnetic pole is in latitude 70 degrees north, longitude 97 degrees west.* One would naturally suppose the. south magnetic pole to be at the exact antipodes of that point, but it is not, A straight line passing from that point through the centre of the earth would not come out at the south magneic pole by a consid erable distance—the reason why be ing that the earth’s magnetism is very irregularly distributed. The magnetism of the earth ap pears to be attributable to magnetic material which R contains and to electric currents passing around through the crust of the planet. It is influenced to some extent by dis turbances on the sun. But the most remarkable thing about the mag** netic poles is that they do not stay put; their positioiisa change. The north magnetic pole seems at the present time to be moving northwest ward git a rate of five to eight milea a year. If you will look at a map of that far-northern region you will be ^struck by the immensity of what is called the Arctic Archipelago of America. It is in point of size by fgr the greatest gro»p of islands in the world. One of the biggest of those'hyperborean islands is'Banks Land, where there are Eskimo sum mer villages. Traders occasionally visit Banks Island in summer time with goods which they barter for furs. , ’ In addition to the North and South geographic Poles and the 'two mag netic poles, there is yet another pole, which geographers call the Pole of Inaccessibility. It gfets that name from the fact that it is the spot on the earth’s surface most, difficult to reach. The location of it is almost directly north of Bearing Strait, in the middle of the undiscovered con- ’ tin ent. Nob'ody. has ever s’sen.Ahis conti nent, yet it has' beep hypothetically charted on maps of th?, hydrographic office of the navy, its cjistencep-bize and shape being inferred from, num erous observations of tides and cur rents in the Polar Ocean. It is thought to be nearly half a million square miles in area. There are three ways, to enter the Arctic Ocean. One is by the broad Paht of the North Atlantic.- The second is through the water passage west of Greenland. The third is through Behring Strait. The short and direct road to the undiscovered continent is the last named. But the barrier of everlasting Joe blacks it. That route was tried forty-odd years ago by the Jeannette expedition, un der Greely, seeking the North Pole, and the enterprise terminated in lamentable disaster. The Jeannette sailed from San Francisco in 1879, and two years later was crushed by the ice. The Wreckage was carried by the icedrift clear across the Arctic Ocean, and’ five to, eight years aftervzard floated down the east coast of Greenland, through Denmark Strait (which sep arates'Greenland from Iceland) into the North Atlantic. v Fifteen years ago Admiral Melville, himself one of the survivors of the Jeannette* expedition, prpoured the construction of fifty strong casks de signed to withstand crushing in the ice, and had them dropped in-?th,e ocean north of Behring Strait, Each of them fca'd a number painted on“it. Since then several of them have been picked up in European waters. Ope Was cast up on the noitli coast of Norway; another was fGtind on th© shore of Iceland. They had drifted clear across the Polar Sea. From these numerous other obser vations of currents and tides it is inferred that the Arctic Ocean sur- . rounds a great land mass, the undis covered continent, by brqad and deep channels. Draw a straight line from the North Pole to Behring Strait and it will pass almost through the mid dle of that continent, as liypathetl- cally outlined by geographers. It is thought to be a four-sided body of land, somewhat irregular in shape. Ofle corner of it is to the far north of Bennett island. The second cor ner is north of Point Barrow (the northern-must trends of Alaska), and tlience its coast line trends eastward nearly to Banks Land, forming th© northern boundary of Beaufort Sea. Tlie third corner is northwest of Banks Land and the fourth comer is. northwest of Grant Land* The undiscovered continent as charted is, lii a Word, directly north of Alaska and Eastern Siberia. Its suoth cOast, at the ‘^bCohd Corner” Above mentioned, is about 330 mile* north of point Bartow* Its north tdhst is 200 miles south of the geo graphical North Pole. ** Member of The Canadian WeeMB Newspaper Association, Professional Cards " " ‘~ , -----------'-"iiiMh GLADMAN & STANBURYi BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS Money to Roan, Investment* Insurance Safe-Deposit Vault for use •£ , Clients without charge EXJETER LONDON HENO1V carling & Morley BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS, LOANS, INVESTMENTS, INSURANCE Office: Carling Block, Main MMfe EXETER, ONT, ' .
