was long on good intentions, but
astonishingly short on informa
tion There are r.) polar bears
m the region around the South ,
Pole.
In fact, the several expeditions
to the South Po'ar region, both,
recent and not so recent, have,
found,.i,v.V.lyiv.kind.in !
the Alarctio. There are penguins, i
seals and whales—but no fur- 1
bearing land animals of any kind. I
It is probably the only large re- i
gion on the lace of tlie e, rth with ]
no land dwellers Zither animal or
human, ,
Though the' ice-covered areas
toward the North Pole have polar
bears, a irt’vi sm.iH ani

the Anarctic has nothing but ice.
Lost in the Translation
L)r. Oliver Wendell Holmes and
the venerable Dr. Peabody of
Cambridge once had an appoint
ment to view the statue of Eur.v
clice. The genial author of “The
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table”
arrived first, and when his friend
drove up in « buggy, he indulged
himself in his favorite pastime,
perpetuating a pun.
Remarked the genial Dr.
Holmes: “Ah. you rid, I see.”
Dr Peabody was delighted with
this sally, and on his return home
attempted to repeat it to his fam
ily.
“Dr. Holmes was extremely
witty this afternoon,” he said.
“We went to see Eurydice, and
when 1 drove up. he said quick
as a flash, ‘All, doctor, I see you
came in a buggy.’ ”
