(See black star on left of the map.) He has definitely fixed the position of this pole in King William Land, not far from the position ascribed to It by Sir John Ross in 1831. In commenting on Amundsen's achievement tho National Geographic Magazine said: "The new knowledge which bis observations will glvo us of the character and Influence of the magnetic pole will prove of Immense value in the study of magnetic variations. Magnetic deviation of the needle Is one of the principal uncertain ties with which mariners havo to contend. Terrestrial magnetism Is a mys terious force. Nearly every year we have a magnetic Btorm, which interrupt our telegraph wires several hours. Whence it comes or what it Is we know not The eruption of Mont Pelee was accompanied by magnetic waves, which wero simultaneously recorded In Hawaii, Alaska, the United States and Europe. All this makes the magnetic work of Amundsen particularly valuable, and wo must remember that was the main object of his expedition. The banana nnd potato are almost Identical In chemical composition. There are no undertakers in Japan. When a person dies his nearest rela tives put him into a coffin nnd bury him. The mourning does not begin un til after burial. India rubber trees which are tapped every other day continue to yield sap for more than twenty years; and It Is a curious fact that the oldest and most frequently tapped trees produce the richest sap. The most costly leather in the world Is known to the trade as the piano leather. The secret of preparing this is only known to one family of tanners In Germany, though the skins from which it Is tanned come almost entirely from America. Poisoning from gas Inhalation is now added to the recognized dangers of bal looulng. The hydrogen Itself non poisonous Is often contaminated with arsenic, selenium, and antimony, and fourteen cases of ill effects have been reported to the French Academy of Medicine. In one of the two forms of poisoning death results in two or three days. New wonders mny be expected In a little known field of exploration since the invention of a young naval engi neer by the name of De Plury, of a kind of metal armor with n special chemical combination for providing res piration automatically. By means of this dress he has succeeded In sinking 330 feet, a much, greater depth than has ever before been reached by any diver. To tell the points of the compass by n watch, point the hour hand at the 6un ; then south Is hnlfway between the hour hand and the figure 12 of the dial. To measure nn angle by a watch lay two straight-edged pieces of paper on the angle, crossing nt the apex. Hold ing them where they overlap, lay them on the face of the watch, with the apex nt the center. Read the angle by tho minutes of the dial, each minute being 0 degrees of nrc It Is easy to meas ure within 2 or 3 degrees In this way. An indication of tho rapidly growing Interest In underground water supplies, even In States whero the rainfall Is abundant nnd the soil naturally fer tile, is given by the program Just pro- pared for tho work of tho comlug sea son by the Geological Survey of Illi nois. A special department of the Work will bo devoted to tho study of the underground wntcr of that State, in order to determine tho limits of what ore called the -Artesian basins," nnd tho vnrlous depths to which It may bo necessary to penetrate In different localities to obtain good water for mu nicipal and agricultural purposes. All tho waters will bo carefully analyzed nnd Bubjpctcd to laboratory tests, nnd thus It Is hoped thnt the work of de veloping new water supplies will be put upon a thoroughly scientific foot ing. A recent English traveler In China describes somo remarkablo cxnmples of sounding stones, or "stono gongs," which ho Baw at Chufu, tho birthplace nnd burlnl place of Confucius. Ono of tho stones, which are composed of n grayish oolitic limestone hns been shaped Into n cover for nn lncenso dish placed in front of tho tomb of the grandson of Confucius. When struck with a stick, or with tho knucklos, it rings like bronze, and the sound Is so distinct that It is difficult to bclloyo, without Inspection, that the object Is not really composed of metal. Sound ing qtones are known in other countries. A correspondent of Nature describes a brldgo nt Corlck, HQpounty Mayo, Ire land, which Is locally known as the "musical bridge," because tho stones forming the coping give out a musical note when struck. MILEAGE OF THE HUMAN BLOOD. One Little ried Corpnucle May-Travel 108 Mile In a Single Dar. The speed at which the blood circu lates In the veins nnd arteries of u healthy man is something surprising. All day long, year In and year out, the round trips continue from the heart to the extremities and bnck again. The red blood corpuscles travel like boats In a stream, going to this or that station for such service as they havo to per form; nnd the white corpuscles, the phagocytes, dart hither nnd thither like patrol boats, ready to arrest any con traband cargo of disease germs. The mileage of the blood circulation reveals some astounding facts In our personal history. Thus It has been cal culated that, assuming the heart to beat sixty-nine times a minute nt ordi nary heart pressure, the blood goes at the rate of two hundred nnd seven yards in the minute, or seven miles per hour, one hundred and sixty-eight mllea per day and six thousand three hun dred nnd twenty miles per year. If a man of 84 years of nge could have ono single blood corpuscle floating In bla blood all his life it would have traveled In that same time Ave million one hun dred and fifty thousand eight hundred and eight miles. Funnr Ho Didn't Remember. One day last week Mayor Fitzgerald, as busy as the three- bees that he ia trying to make Boston, came tripping Into the city hall from the School street entrance. In the corridor he was met by a seedy-looking Individual who held up his honor, put out a grimy paw with the salutation: "How nre you today, Mr. Mayor?" "Very well, sir," was tho response, as he grasped the hand of the unknown. "You don't seem to know me. do you, Mr. Mayor?" "Well, to be candid with you, I can not say that I do, but I am clad to meet you." "Don't you remember the day roa were elected?" "Well, I ought to," said the mnyor. "Just think n bit what you did thnt night. Don't you remember that yon went down to the Qulncv House to meet your friends?" "I certnlnly do," said the mayor, "It will always remain with me one of tha plensantcst memories of my life." "Don't you remember comlntr out on the hnlcony nnd nddresslnir a crowd of 5,000 or more persons In front of the hotel r "Yes, sir, I do, very distinctly." said his honor. "Well, I wns the follow that wore the brown hat," concluded tho known. Boston Post un- Sketchea Nova Zembla. Alexander Alexewltsch Borlssoff has started from St Petersburg on a tour abroad with twenty-six oil paintings and sketches which represent the out- como of a voyage to Nova Zembla un dertaken toward tho end of the nine ties at tho expense of the Czar.
