Waterâ€" cooling is out of the question in polar regions, since water would freeze and crack the cylinders ; and the expeditions therefore had to use airâ€"cooled engines. The fact that the speed of the sledges was not great enough to cause a strong curâ€" rent of air, may explain the overâ€" heating ; for the efficiency of airâ€" cooling depends somewhat on the speed attained. It is not unlikely, however, that the extreme dryness of the air or some peculiar atmosâ€" pheric condition had to do with the tendency of the engines to become overhcated. Children Went to School With Pipes in Their Satchels. Although Lord Methuen finds the habit of smoking on the increase among women, it is not so prevalent among children as it used to be. According to John Ashton, under Charles I., ‘"it was not only usual for women to join the men in smokâ€" ing, but in Worcestshire the childâ€" ren went to school with pipes in their satchels, and the schoolmasâ€" ter called a halt in their studies while they all smokedâ€"he teaching the neophyte."‘ Thomas Hearne records that in the time of the plague of London in 1665, "children were obliged to smoak.

He died recently at the age of ninetyâ€"four. ()n the day mentioned in the inâ€" scription, Tosci, bearing a pick and shovel, set out at daybreak for the column. He arrived before any chance visitors, and as soon as the monastery bells tolled six, he startâ€" ed digging in the ground covered by the shadow of the top of the colâ€" umn. He had not dug long before he came on a satchel that contained 80,000 francs. The inscription was a true one ; the head of the column covered the golden treasure every year on May 1st. TAUGHT SCHOLARS TO SMOKE. Finally, in 1841, a ragged beggar named Annibale Tosci noticed the inscription. He stood looking at it for & long time, while he pondered its meaning. _ Then suddenly the solution of the puzzle flashed into his mind. He waited patiently unâ€" til May 1st before he tested the acâ€" curacy of his interpretation of the mystic words. For several years people came to see the promised wonder, and went away disappointed. At last the authorities had the column taken down, in the belief that treasure would be found beneath it. Nothâ€" ing but earth was found, and so the column was set up again. Obviousâ€" ly, the words had a mystic meanâ€" ing, but no one was clever enough to guess it, and for years the riddle remained unsolved. CEVOCC U . B Menit q ue nUmn t M 0C BE en ol n C ce The inscription sorely puzzled the inhabitants of Naples. On May 1st, the year after the erection of the column, a great crowd came to it in the hope of finding the top covâ€" ered with gold pieces. Needless to say, they went home with their pockets as empty as they were when they came. How Annibale Tosci, the Beggar, Became Wealthy. The strange happenings are not always inventions in storyâ€"books. In commenting on the recent death of a certain Annibale Tosci, at Mantua, â€" Italy, the Manchester Guardian retells a tale of buried treasure that has the mystery and romance of the most imaginative stories about the famous Captain Kidd. Near the Monastery of San Vito in Naples stood a marble column that had been erected by an eccenâ€" tric Frenchman about the beginâ€" ning of the last century. On it were written in French the following enigmatio words: ‘"On May 1st. every year, I have a golden head."‘ cation has been neglected, for all you . speak French and Hitalian, and play piâ€"ano!

LTD. _ TOronto. «8 Gripping Scotch with one hand and clinging to the icy hold with the other, I shuffied about until I got my feet into two holes in the wall. Standing in these, and leanâ€" ing against the ice, with the wind pushing and tearing at me, I manâ€" aged to lift Beotch again to my shoulder. A few minutes later we paused to breathe on the icy ridge of the summit, between two oceans and amid seas of snowy peaks. A distressing tragedy oocurred at 6 Norfolk Street, Glasgow, when a Jow named Lipowisky threw a quantity of nitric acid over his stepâ€" mother‘s face and then fatally out his throat. The woman was severeâ€" ly burned. Terrible Experience in the Rocky Mountains. The last one hundred feet or so rose steep, jagged, and iceâ€"covered before me. There was nothing to lay hold of ; every point of vantage was plated and coated with ise. There was only one way to surâ€" mount this icy barrier, and that was to chop tose and handâ€"holes from the bottom to the top. Buch a climb would not be especially diffiâ€" cult or dangerous for me, but could Beotch do it ! When I came to a place where it was not yery steep, I stopped 1: transfer Soor{cb from one shoulder to the other. The wind was at its worst ; it would fall quiet one moâ€" ment, and then bluster at me with the suddenness of an explosion. I was just moving Beotch, when it suddenly shifted, and rushed upon us with the force of an ocean breakâ€" er. It threw me off my balance, and tumbled me heavily against the icy slope.

He tells the story of their experâ€" ience in ‘"The Bpell of the Rockâ€" ies.‘"‘ While the wind blew a steady gale, they went forward over snowy, icy ledges, on which there was not the sign of a path, until they reachâ€" ed a cliff of ice that they must climb. When money talks the mere men and women listen. I grasped my ax and chopped my way to the top. Returning for Beotch, I started him climbing just ahead of me, so that I could boost and encourage him. We had asâ€" cended only a few feet when it beâ€" came plain that sooner or plater he would slip, and bring disaster to us both. We stopped, and descended to the bottom for a new start. I determined to carry him. His weight was forty pounds, and he would make a topâ€"heary load. But as there seemed to be nothing else to do, I threw him over my shoulder and started up.
