London Times Supplement (Ind.) : The contrast between the attitude of American and British men of affairs towards education for a businsss carâ€" eer is startling. Here a very large proportion of the employers think that when a boy has a good sound education he should enter a commerâ€" cial house and work his way up; furâ€" ther education at a university they regard as a handicap and speak of the years so occupied as wasted time. In America, on the other hand, firms are accustomed to select graduates from the business colleges to recruit theit administrative staffs, believing that there sre many subjects that a prosâ€" pective busi~ncss man should strdy beâ€" fore entering upon his career, and that a trained man is better than an untrained. The consequence is that it is much easier for a young man of promise who »as no influence to make his way in the United States at an early ago than it is for a young man similariy ;la. ed in Great Britain. backward one, lit on my feet, instantâ€" ly turning another and a third and a fourth, swung into a succession of rollâ€" overs and came to my feet for my bow, absolutely uninjured!

In this I plungeo straight down from my trapeze and continue thus until within about two feet of the net. Then, with a quick twist, I jerk my head under me, land on my shoulders and bounce upâ€" ward in a forward somersault. So, with my urge for a good act, I drove my trapeze steadily higher, until the absolute limit was reached. Then I shot over the bar, curved in the air and straightened into the bulletâ€"like descent to the net.

The mountains, at least in the north, were much higher than they are now. A Chain of Islands These mountains extend westward to Grinnell Land, and eastward they run as a submarine ridge across to Spitsbergen and then down through Bear Island to the north of Norway and form the Scandinavian chain which continues through Scotland. So the upper part of Greenland is linked geologically to Europe,. But all around the edge of the island the mountains rise majestically from the sea, not always of great height, but coming as they do directly from sea level they are most beautiful and imâ€" posing. Fold after fold they pass back into the interior until the ice swallows | them, and tiny peaks, the tops of Xarge' mountaing, peep through the crust as small snow hills or nunataks. Finally they also disappear and only the level ice is left before the traveler. ‘ When the Ice Age came on the land ; a little snow collected in tiese inland | valleys and did not melt, It was add-i ed to year by year until the valleysl filled and the snow overflowed the lower peaks. Under pressure it be-t came ice and then flowed outward ; through the fjords, making the gla-' ciers, of which there are 200 in Greenâ€" land. 4 "Only the man who has traveled for weeks day after day along the inland ice without seeing land can rightly appreciate the nature of the Ice Period," says Koch,. "The first thing which impresses one is the enormous dimensions with which one must reckâ€" on. The landscapes, which with their big fjords and huge mountains seem so large from the sea, now lie far beâ€" neath the spectator as narrow rims of land, quickly disappearing, to give room for a perfectly even snow plain. A journey across this from north to south would be as long as from Copâ€" enhagen to the Sahara, and during this journey the landscape would not alter for a single instant. Nowhere would one see land; infinite as the sea lies the snow field, and life is represented neither by animal nor plant. Even the Sabhara has Its oases, between which men and animals move about ; but here is nothing but snowâ€"this is the region on earth most inimical tg lite." In its southern part the mountains rise from the sea and fold after fold of them extends back many miles unâ€" til they are overwhelmed far inland by the ice cap. But further north the inland ice pushes out more and more until it becomes difficult to tell where glacier ice ends and sea ice begins, and where for many miles the entire coast line is ice, the mountains are completely hidden beneath the white crust. During the great Ice Age all of Northern Europe and also Canada and the Northern United States were covâ€" ered with a vast shield of ice, which has left its traces all over the land. In Greenland this shield remains, held in by the mountain rim. What the Snow Shield Shows An examination of this snow shield shows curious stratification, for even at such an elovatipn and latitude the The known geology of Greenland has always been meager, as is natural in a country of which only onesixth is not covered by ice. It is a much larger land than is usually realized, for it covers an area of $27,000 square miles, as big as France, Germany, Spain, Poland, England and Hungary put together. Fixing the depth of the Greenland ice cap at 8,850 feet, as the German scientific group recently did by sonic depth soundings, has solved a puzzle which has perplexed investigators since the earliest days of Arctic exâ€" ploration, writes Russell Owen, in the N.Y. Times. Greenland has turned out to be a rim of mountains encircling a bowl of ice. It is an anachronism, a survival of the Ice Age relatively close to civilization, Though Depths of the Ice Cap Have Been Sounded, a Vast Land Area is Unknown Greenland Guards GeologyVSécrei; KRAFT CHEESE in Canada by the Makers of Velvecta and Kraft Boay Buil But although the interior of Greenâ€" land is merely a huge ico cap, a preâ€" historic remnant preserved by fortunâ€" ’ate chance, there are some things in the bare and scoriated mountains of ‘the coast which are of value. 1 The most important mineral in ! Greenland, however, is cryolite; the ‘ mine at Ivigtut is not only one of the |most northerly mines in the world but also the only place at which cryolite ! occurs in commercial quantity. The ’royulties on it go far to pay tha exâ€" penses of government. The Eskimos | called it "ice which would not melt in !Summer." It is minc« in an open pit right on the edge of , fjord, and apâ€" lparcntly the supply is sufficient to last : indefinitely,. It is used largely in the metallurgy of aluminum. | Greenland will probably never be ‘exploited commercially, not only beâ€" cause of the meagerness of its ore deâ€" ; posits, but also because of its climate ‘and the desire of the Danish Governâ€" ment to keep out all influences which |wlll harm the matives. It will remain, ‘however, one of the greatest scenic |spots in the world, and of continual interests to :cientists. The retired Commissioner joined the force in 1886 as an inspector, and advanced on merit through all the ranks to the chief command. He had personal acquaintance with all phases of the multiplex duties of the mountâ€" ed police. They patrol the internaâ€" tional frontier, keep peace and order in the vast subâ€"Arctic region, and maintain posts on the shores of Hudâ€" son Bay, in the Yukon, on Herschell Island off the mouth of the Mackenzie River, and on some of the Arctic isâ€" lands. They represent Canadian authority among the native Eskimos and their record in the prevention and the detection of criminals has made them famous throughout the world. By winning well. No praising word his many friends would speak, But someone came and whispered he was weak, And so he fell. Colon@ Starnes is succeeded as Chief Commissioner by Major Gen. J. H.

He is granted a pension with the rank of Major General, and goes into private life with a distinâ€" guished record of service in a unit which has a unique tradition. When he was frail and bled by sorâ€" row‘s pain And shunned the fight and would not face again A hill so long, There came a voice, as if from hopeâ€" less grave, That called him strong and said that be was brave, And he was strong. â€"Cahal Bradley, in Songs of a Comâ€" mercial Traveller.
