Many a shivering American, watching hia therinometer Itovcr far below normal this winter, has thought that his irosty bedroom must b?* about the cokleHt spot on earth, or has thanked hih lucky stars that he wasn't in the Antarctic with Lincoln Ellsworth Actually, however, many Americana might have found it considerably warmer in the Antarctic (where it was Hiitnmor) than at home this winter. Ellsworth reported a temperature of only live below zero Fahrenheit one day during his flight across the South I'olar Continent, while in the (flitted Stales some places have had temperatures down to .">0 below zero. "Even .">0 below, however, is warm compared to some cold weather that has been recorded in the really frigid parts- of fiie earth," hhvs h bulletin from the Washington, D ('., headquarters of the National Nongraphic Society. "Though the winter of I Tf.V l'.tJti will go down in history as one of America's coldest ones, It cannot compare with tiie winters that visii a region of northeastern Siberia, generally recognized as the "cold pole' of the earth "There, at the town of Verkhoyansk thermometers have dropped to ;iu degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Devils Lake, North Dakota, had an average temperature of 20 degrees below zero for five weeks this winter, but Verkhoyansk has averaged as much as 68 below for tiie month of January in past yours "On really cold days in Verhoyansk, the exhaled vapor of a man's breath crystallizes Into cracking needles of Ice, and breathing becomes painful Ico forms in the nostrils of horses and threatens to suffocate them. "Hut through Lincoln Ellsworth found It as warm as five below zero during the last Antarctic summer, the winter In the South Polar regions is a different story Admiral Hyrd, on his lone vigil at the advanced weather obser\ation base, during the Ant ! arctic winter, recorded a minimum I temporalure of no below. Ami this I incidentally, was only two degrees colder than the miniinum temperature of 7k h?*low recorded during the Htru! tosphero flight of the National do! graphic Society?Army Air Corps l?nl, loon Kxploror II last November. "Summer temperaturoa both at the North and South Poles are much i warmer than the colder days exper ieneed in Home parts of the United States tiiis winter When Ronald Amundsen discovered the South I'ole in December, Rill, lie reported that it was only 2 2 degrees In-low zero j Fahrenheit. Reary at the North Role, j in April. Ibo'.i, found the temperature j ranging from 11 to 3o below. Doubti less both poles are far colder In winner. but no one has visited them at ! that time of year. i "Any polar explorer, however, would have found it cold enough to suit him : at Riverside Ranger Station in Yeli low at one Rark, on February 0, 11)33. On that date the official thermometer there dropped to tit) below zero Fahrenheit, the record low temperature for the United States. "When it comes to producing real cold. Mother Nature is a piker' when compared to modern scientists. Ref j cent 1 y, at the University of Ueyden, the Netherlands, experimenters have come within a fraction of a degree of attaining absolute zero,' the 'coldest cold" which is set theoretically at 4"dM> degrees below zero Fahrenheit. "This extreme cold is achieved by cooling a substance with the aid of liquid air, liquid hydrogen and liquid helium. Then the substance is magnetized, w-hich heats it, and liquid helium is used to remove thiB heat. The substance then is demagnetized, and as a result It becomes colder still. Rv subjecting substances to such great cold,' scientists hope to learn more about the properties and structure of matter. "Rut if all this talk of great cold chills you. end the story with a few thoughts about Death Valley, California. where at times it grows so hot that thermometers have registered over 131 degrees above zero!"

Tills range Is Included In (Jrand To ton National park, in western Wyoming, one id" the national parks. The Teton.seem to rise as sheer precipices from the shores of Jackson lake, without any gradual incline to lessen the contrast between the pinnacles and the plain. Along the eastern base of the Teton range, protected by a heavy forest, are seven lakes of Alpine grandeur. Six of them lie within the park boundary. Seen front the north, the massing of mountains resembles a colossal catho dral, with the (Jrand Teton as the central spire. Front the south and east the view of this main peak Is strikingly similar to that of the Matterhorn of the Alps. Bordering the park on the east is Jackson Hole, CVith its historical Interest a fid romance. In pioneer days this region was famous both as a hunting ground and as hiding places for the hunted. Fugitives from ;he law found sanctuary in its fastnesses and many border romances were woven around It. Today it is dotted \vi.th peaceful dude ranches and only the memory of the old turbulent days remains. Trapped by Trifle# While the police were Investigating an empty house in Newcastle, they disturbed a mouse which dashed to its hole; In doing so It scattered some plaster and revealed a hidden hoard which led to the arrest of a gang of smash-and-grab raiders. Rogues are often betrayed by unconsidered trifles. One suspect, having committed a murder In Devonshire, made his way to Blackpool, hut he could not explain away particles of red earth that he had forgotten to clean from his shoes. Once a grease-stain established the fact that a murderer had some connection with a soap refinery, and this connected a chain of facts which led to his arrest and sentence. On another occasion a small magnet in a man's pockety attracted particles of metal dust, which stuck to his clothes and enabled" the police to prove that he had been In a certain spot.?Tit-Bits Magazine.
