 day and at sunset. It travels along the very edge of the horizon, as if just peeping above it 



How the Sun Looks in the Arctic 



Circles in the Morning, at Noon 



and at Night 



NORTH of the Arctic Circle, during 

 certain periods of the year, the sun 

 barely peeps over the horizon. Some days 

 you have to stand on your tip-toes, so to 

 speak, to see it at all. At sunrise, midday, 

 and sunset it appears just above the 

 horizon, and re- 



"An Army Travels on Its Belly,"

Say Chiropodists 



IF your feet trouble you, you are only 

 about fifty per cent efficient as a 

 fighting man. In the Fourteenth Regiment 

 of the National Guard, in Brooklyn, N. Y., 

 the men must submit themselves to a foot 

 examination. The accompanying illustra-

 the same posi-

 climbs high into 

 the heavens as it 

 does in warm 

 countries. It 

 travels around 

 the horizon.

 days after the 

 photograph was taken the sun did not 

 appear above the horizon at all, but re- 

 mained below for five weeks, gradually 

 appearing again in reverse order.

Regular estab-

 schools pay but 

 little attention to 

 foot conditions

 particular need for chiropodists at the 

 present time. Numbers of them will 

 doubtless be engaged for the army.
