THE WORLD'S COLD SPOT8
Thermometer Really Goes Down
Stairs In Some Sections Of Globe.
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!"

Mountains of Teton Park
Have Lakes to Add Charm
It has been said that the only mountains
in the world that look as mountains
should look are the Tetons, observes
a writer in the Washington Star.
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.
Land for the White Houie
The principal owners of the land on
which the city of Washington is built
were Daniel Carroll of the Dixhllngton
branch of the Carroll family, a cousin
of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the
signer; Samuel Davidson. Not-fey
Young and David Bnrnes. The land
on which the White House stands belonged,"
to David Burues, an aged
Scotchman, who very reluctantly gave
up his OOo acres for the federal city
when negotiations were in progress for
buying up land-for'the National Capital.
Daniel Carroll owned a large
tract of land along the eastern branch
of the Potomac river, which Includes
the site of the Capitol.
Leave* Govern Apple Crop
The production ot apples is de|>endent
directly upon the leaves of the
apple tree, and as a rule about 40 to
.AO leaves are required to produce one
normal sized apple. The leaves manufacture
the sugars and starches which
are used In building the fruit, and If
anything happens to cut down the
efficiency of the leaves, the 'ruit will
suffer In size, color, and flavor, If the
free hear* more fruit than the leaves
can support, then some of tho fruit
must he thinned.

Back-Firing Plan Effective
Forest lire fighters have found that
next to water there Is nothing that
will stop nn advancing lire so quickly
as back-tiring. This means that huge
piles of brush and woods refuse are
built along the lines of the advancing
flumes and set on lire. These are kept <
under control by the fire fighters and
after they have burned out they leave
a wide strip of burned-over land that
effectively checks any tire, for there Is
nothing left t^burn.
The City of Victoria
The city of Victoria was founded as
a fort by the Hudson's Bay company,
being first called Fort Albert after
Queen Victoria's royal consort, the
name, however, being almost Immediately
changed to Victoria. In honor ot
the queen then reigning. In 1852. Prior
to the erection of the Hudson's Bay
fort, the Indians knew the present site
of Victoria as Camosun or Camosack.
Brighton Ancient Coast Resort
Brighton, ancient royal and popular
coast resort of southern .England,
a thousand years ago was called Brichtelm,
after the son of the lirst king of
Sussex. Its renown as a seaside resort
began 150 jears ago, when King
George IV built his Royal Pavilion
there, which later became the vacation
spot of Queen Victoria.

Greenville, N. C., March 20?A man- [
datory death sentence was faced today
by Willie Tate, 29-year-old negro,
after conviction here yesterday for |
first degree murder in the the killing I
of Alexander Powell, young Bethel filling
station operator. I
The state charged Tate with killing J
Powell and then attempting to assault ,
his companion while their automobile
was parked on a country road the
night of February 28. She identified
the defendent as the killer.
, 'Tate did not take the stand but in
a purported confession admitted a
part in the crimes and implicated two
other negroes now held. The young
woman testified, however, that Tate
was the only one on the scene.
It was not indicated what disposal
would be made of the other two
negroes' cases.

20 minutes.
