The widest attention seems now to be fixed on the Ar.t- arctic region, and for' the first time we hear of expeditions whose main 'purpose ' will be. to result the South Pole. Soma ex- plorera who have' Jived and worked In the . Antarctic now believe that tv will be easier t t reach the South than the North Pole.

The condons aeetn to be different In the Antarctic. The 'British expedition under Captain Scott made no greater discovery than the vast plain of Ice covering the sea, avliose northern edge 1a the Great Barrier, ' first seen by Ross. How far this Ice sheet spreads away to the south and east of Vic toria Land la still a matter of surmise. Wherever .-seen It presents a practically level, plainlike surface, excepting where It - la lifted Into1 pressure ridges by collision with lc moving, off the land. ' Scott made it hi highway through 4 degrees of latitude'. to 82 degrees, where the aame level surface , continued to the horizon - . ' This immense .area-of fit Ice haa inspired the idea that, apeclally constructed automo- bllea may be used to advantage on that '- surface.' , Tha, level Ice la known to extend east and west! bet ween Victoria Land and King Edward VJI Land. Henryk Arc-' towski; who Is 'planning to lead the next Belgian expedition south, saya ha wishes to use automobiles on this Ice to sea how far it extends toward the pole. If a continuous " coast' fine Ir'Tdmui Wwesn Edward VII . Land and Victoria- Land there must be an . immensa gulf separating them. If, how ever, the two coasts are prolonged, without Joining there must exist a wide arm of the ea separating the Antarctic landa into two hemispheres. There la no proof aa yet that th level lc of . these watera may not ex tend to the pole or so far toward It aa greatly to lessen the difficulty of reaching the goal. ' Dr. F. A. Cook of Brooklyn aJso hopee before many months to be testing on this Ice the automobiles he has made and per haps he will be the first in th field.

Which th Crnel ana Treaeberoa. , Northerners have an Invincible tendency to assign virtue or godnes to the fair complexion, wickedness or falsehood to the dark. If one could rely upon the test of novels It might be argued that this prej udice Is- weakening foi th villain, whether male or female, la sometimes blond now adays and the heroin brunette. On might almost ' venture to say that it waa never so formerly. . Perhaps there la no sound reason for thinking that th blue eyed are truthful, honest and loving In th sense of affection and constancy rather than the brown. ... But the striking reports on th associa tion of complexion and dlaease In hospitals which Dr. Beddoes suggested long ago and Dr. Shrubsall, foremost among many, now is carrying out have a certain bearing on the point. They prove that dark hair and eyes are supplanting the light in this coun trya fact which ,all thoughtful persons have observed. But also they demonstrate the reaaon which . la, shortly, that the blond are constitutionally unfitted to en- dure the conditions of town life, and ac tually perish in the foul atmosphere and me Daroanam oi me siume. aouus enter the hospital in proportion far too great and children die. They' must have fresh air, wholesome exercise and decent sur roundings to keep In health. But these are the conditions of rustic Iff, which, as universal experience In all ages agrees, preserves if It doea not generate such vir tues aa simplicity, truthfulness and hon- ! esty. which town life, favored by the dark, corrupt. ' ' ' Upon the' other hand, the brown eyed peoples assert that the fair are treacherous ' and cruel. Tills . I a common ' belief In 1 Italy,, where It might b traced to a popu lar reminiscence ,of the blond northerner who ravaged that hapless country front generation to generation. But it 1 much older. Plutarch cite contemporary epl-' gram passed upon' Cato the Censor, who waa red haired and gray eyed, which ahowa that It waa current even then. And It la an article of faith all through th east. Sir Edward Maloi tells In his biography how he once called at Alexandretta, and the population assembled, believing htm to be the new governor of Cyprus. To his dragoman he expressed a hope that they were favorably impressed - by his appear ance at any rata, but th dragoman hon estly replied that It was not so a blue-eyed governor they thought must be harsh and cruel. And he added that th feeling Is, general all through th Levant. By the famous code of Menu, an orthodox Hindu la flatly forbidden to marry 'a woman with gray eys or red hair perhaps for thla rea son, "though nona 1 aaalgned. In all cases it may be that a tradition of ruthless in vaders from the north has caused th prej udice, sine many Afghans, and many Persian of th wilder tribes, are fair not to mention th British In modern timaa. But that 1 an assumption. , ' W are using th term blue-eyed in a con ventional sens. " A a matter of fact. that color 1 th rarest by far of all. Some assert, indeed, that it doea not exist, and many doubtless have never seen It. Per haps th rarity of blu is not to be re gretted, unless , by enthusiast who set beauty above charity and humantty. For all anlmala', which have blu eye are mora or., leas "hartf of hearing." : Tbi ia gen erally known in th case of cats, and it Is equally true ef horses and wild- creature. It la an Instance of eorelatlon.1 a Darwin termed the' mysterious law, and on would xpect to find 'it apply, to human beings, as ia alleged. Also w must admit that blue or greAn or' gray eyes hav a narrower rang of expression than dark. Perhaps, Indeed, th fair do not respond so quickly to th impulse of th moment; of more sedate or cooler temperament, they cannot meet a word or a. thought half Way and flash back th answer Instantly. At any rate, brown eyes, which we call black. hav an advantage In power of expression. It uaed to be taken for granted that aavagea possess a. wlderrange of eyesight and keener obaervktiqn ifean elvnixed men. Common sens' favqgedr Ji belief, and a report published by" th surgeon of th Western Ophthalmic hospital some years ago gave an alarming picture of th atat of things among th school children. But persons who speak with, authority hav contradicted th popular notion of lata especially. Messrs. Spencer and GUlen, In their great work on th central -tribe of Australia, and Dr. Engelmann. Of course. the witnesses may have unusual power of vision, but their remarks show at least that th Eu ropes n may be equal In this respect to Australian aavagea. who are famous for Their eyesight, ' and. that ex cepUonal capacity' among them la by no mean universal.

SOME MORE NATURE FAKES Indnstrloaa Waa pa Raa a Paper Mill anal Wood pec Vers Operate Borlnsr Plant. At last on of the force of nature is to ba turned to account, and the vicious wasp will be made to furnlah paper. -This Insect la the original paper maker, and It builds Its home of pulp. Observing this, Jeremiah Tubbs is collect ing millions of wasps and Installing them In a factory building near Llmeport, Pa. n the factory la a collection of unique machinery It la the Intention of Mr. Tubba to domes ticate the wasps to such a degree that. Ilk homing pigeons, they will return to the factory each night. The first Instinct of a wasp Is to build a home, and, taking 'advantage of this, the Ingenious Inventor will have the insect enter a small compartment and place a layer otWpaper on a roll. Aa the roll moves Around slowly the paper making process wITl continue and since millions of waspa will be busy It Is expected the plant' will have a capacity of ten tona a day. This Is not a large output, but since th quality of tb, paper will be high, and since there Is no cost for raw material, it 'will be very profitable. -Aa the waspa hibernate during the win ter, no effort will be made during the sum mer to finishing the paper, but the whole time will be occupied In turning out th rough product. What Is expected to become one of the largest' wood-boring establishments in th etllt. wll, ba ,Urted her if the experl- ment of several scientific men are suc cessful. The Idea Is to eliminate the cost of ma chinery power, and to this end th plan Is to try woodpeckers, wood bees and wood worms, each endowed with powers to bore accurate holes through the hardest wood. For the large holes the woodpecker will be used, while for th smaller holes th common white-head bee and the worm will be kept at work. No trouble has been found In training the bird. It aeema to take a delight In being kept busy, and fifty woodpeckers one day last week made 800 Inch-and-a-half hole In ten hours. All that they require Is that the holea shall be drawn plainly and their bills kept sharp More trouble ba been found with th bee and worms. They do not seem to possess th geometric brain of the bird. and are apt to get off the Una. A special course In trigonometry Is planned to cor rect this fault. ' Another complaint against th wood worm Is that after It get down several Inches It curls up and takea a reat. so -that much valuable time la lost in routing them out. . Several farmers Intehd using robins to pick their cherries during the next few week. The finest fruit always grows at the top, where it is dangerous to climb, and hardly a season In this neighborhood passes without three or four broken bone from fall.

Other persons ar trying to subdue th untamed muskrat and compel him to dig irrigation ditches through the meadow. Lightning bugs . may be utilized In il luminating several villages near her. Ther Is a proposition made, by a syndl cat to furnish eighty-candle-power light-nlng-bug lamps for a moderate coat, and the plan seem to be looked upon with favor. . u i :t I irwi The plan Is to send to Brasll, where the buga grow to enormous else, and incase two bugs In a glob similar to th Incun deacent electric lamp. Thee bug emit a steady glow, and the-life of th lamp ia guaranteed to be 115 hour. . Ordinarily th light la of a bluish hue, which ia hard on th eyes, and this ha been remedied by employing yellow glass in the lamp, which neutralizes th blu rays and gives forth sett glow, not un Uk sunlight, During th day th bogs sleep, and thus stor up energy for th night.

The Stat Hallway commission Is anxious to hear from ahipper of cream regarding freight rate and though th public hearing on the application of the Western Traffic as sociation for a higher rate haa been ex tensively advertised and discussed not a single shipper of cream has sent In word J that he intend to protest or that he In tends to endorse the application. The com mission la In possession of no information regarding" this matter other than that fur nished by th trafflo association to the ef fect that th, present rate tend to drive out the aamll creameries, will Increase. To the commission It look as If the price of cream paid the farmer will be cut down If th freight rate goes up, but so far It apparently has been unable to Interest any of the shipper of cream.
