BRITAIN FEARED NAPOLEON 'And Lamb, Who Thought Him a Fins Fallew. Fanned AM Flame. It was on Aug. 8, 1815, that "Gen era] Bonaparte. as his English cap tors insisted upon calling him, was transferred from. the Bellerophon to the ship Northumberjaind to begin the journey to St. Helena. There was much protest In England against the transportation of the distinguished prisoner. but the government remained Oificial England could see nothing but danger In keeping such a dynamic force as Napoleon within Its limits, and, harsh as the' actions of the gov ernment seemed, the position thus tak en was- not without logic. Napoleon had been placed on his honor at Elba. but honor did not weigh with him when ambition was concerned. Charles Lamb spoke for those wh~o favored Napoleon's detention in Eng land when he wrote' to Southey: "At er all; Bonaparte is, a fine fellow, as *my barber says. andl should not mind standing bareheaded at his table to do service to him in his fall. 'IOe should haxve given him Hampton coast of Kensington, with a tether eztending forty miles round London." Lane* Iwhimsically suggested that If Nape leon remained In England the..people might -some day eject the Brunswiet In his favor, and the government took the suggestion seriously. Now th~t Napoleon is safely dead su-h -a fear seems absurd, but Napo ienu was then alive, and, in view of th1:u fact. no government was safe in sayiwn. "l shonld worry!"-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FORMS OF LIFE DIFFER ALSO. In the North Are the Eskimos, and Plants and Animals Are Relatively Abundant, While the South'Has No Human Beings and Little Vegetation. The earth whirls around an invisible axle. one end of which turns the deep cup of the Arctic ocean. while the oth er spins the huge white button of the antarctic continent. In the north the ice floats on the sea like a moving floor. In the south it rests like a bossy shield on a vast dome of uplifted rock. Close around the edges of the ice world. both north and south and even within it, animals and plants are. found living. But In their specIes these in habitants of the opposite poles are as different as the poles themselves. On and around the antarctic conti nent there are several species of birds. notably albatrosses. petrels and the strange, upright walking penguins. with their black coats, white waist coats and ludicrously polite bearing. There are also whales and seals. but the human form is absent, except so far as it is mimicked to the eye of fancy by the stately penguins. The plants are scanty in number. although some bear flowers. Within the arctic circle the scene Is more animated. There are many arc tic plants, some bearing brilliant flow ers. Yellow buttercups and arctic pop pies warm the heart of the explorer. The saxifrage puts out its starry blossoms within 7% degrees of the pole. There are so many other species that a very attractive -boquet of arctic flowers may be formed. -The animal life of the arctic Is also relatively abun. dant. In the sea is the world circling whale. the walrus with his curious tusks and the various species of seals On the land and snow and sometimeF on the icepacks are large and remarks ble animals often In abundance. The great polar bear alone would suffice to ainke the lands that he tenants famous Then there are reindeer, musk oxen. foxes.. wolves. hares and lemmings Among birds. are grouse. ptarmigans. snow buntings, falcons, puffins and auks. But man is there. too, in the person of the hut dwelling. fur clothed. fish spearing Eskimo. the reason why the life around the two poles is so different and so con trasted in its terms is probably to be found in the climatic differences. which, in turn, are governed by the elevation. The sea life is similar in both cases-whales and seals are the characteristic animals that Inhabit the polar waters. But the great elevation of the antarctic continent, with its eternal burden of snow and Ice, thou. sands of feet in thickness, continually sending down immeasurable glaciern that form vast platforms of thick Ice all around the borders of the . conti ent, keeps the mean temperature at a low level and drives life away from the snow buried land. The atmosphere ver the-south pole manufactures snou and Ice without limit. As the burder pies higher at the center It pushes out ward on all sides down the slopes of the continent until it reaches the'bor dering sea.-" But things have not always bees thus.- The recent explorers of the ant arctic have fouiid remains of ancient life recalling the life of the temperate rones and the tropics. The coal de posits of the antarctic continent are believed to be of vast extent They could not have been formed under pres et conditions. They consist of the fossized remains of immense forests. They could not have been transported to their present location either by land or water. They must have been form ed where they are. Consequently the antarctic regions must once have en joyed a mild climate and atmospheri< conditions very favorable to an abun dant vegetation. But If there was an abundance of vegetation there is every reason to be lieve that there was an abundance of animal lfe also. At that time the south pole. instead of being elevated many thousands of feet above the sea. may have lain at a low level. That, in it self, would raise the mean tempera tre, but it would not be sufficient to produce all the difference between present and past conditions of antarc tic life.. Either the sun was hotter in that distant time. or the composition of the atmosphere was such as to retain more heat, or the .lnclination of the earth's, axis was different from what It is today, or. as some have Imagined. the solar system was then passing through a -warmer region of space Whatever the c-ause may liave been. there is no- doubt that there was a time wheti the lands around both the poles were habitable by animals and plants. most of which have since been driven toward the equator. As the antarctic continent rose, and assumed its burden of Ice, the relies of its former splendid life were buried almost beyond recovery, while in the fr north, where there has been no corresponding elevation, but possibly a depression, more of the ancient life forms have remained, while the traces of what they once were are more eas ly recovered-Garrett P Serviss In Spokane Spokesman-Review. ~abor is the genius that changes the world from ugliness to beauty and the great curse to a great blessing.--J.
