  OPPOSITION, n.  In politics the party that prevents the Government from
  running amuck by hamstringing it.
      The King of Ghargaroo, who had been abroad to study the science of
  government, appointed one hundred of his fattest subjects as members
  of a parliament to make laws for the collection of revenue.  Forty of
  these he named the Party of Opposition and had his Prime Minister
  carefully instruct them in their duty of opposing every royal measure. 
  Nevertheless, the first one that was submitted passed unanimously. 
  Greatly displeased, the King vetoed it, informing the Opposition that
  if they did that again they would pay for their obstinacy with their
  heads.  The entire forty promptly disemboweled themselves.
      "What shall we do now?" the King asked.  "Liberal institutions
  cannot be maintained without a party of Opposition."
      "Splendor of the universe," replied the Prime Minister, "it is
  true these dogs of darkness have no longer their credentials, but all
  is not lost.  Leave the matter to this worm of the dust."
      So the Minister had the bodies of his Majesty's Opposition
  embalmed and stuffed with straw, put back into the seats of power and
  nailed there.  Forty votes were recorded against every bill and the
  nation prospered.  But one day a bill imposing a tax on warts was
  defeated -- the members of the Government party had not been nailed to
  their seats!  This so enraged the King that the Prime Minister was put
  to death, the parliament was dissolved with a battery of artillery,
  and government of the people, by the people, for the people perished
  from Ghargaroo.

  Polar \Po"lar\, a. [Cf. F. polaire. See Pole of the earth.]
     1. Of or pertaining to one of the poles of the earth, or of a
        sphere; situated near, or proceeding from, one of the
        poles; as, polar regions; polar seas; polar winds.
  
     2. Of or pertaining to the magnetic pole, or to the point to
        which the magnetic needle is directed.
  
     3. (Geom.) Pertaining to, reckoned from, or having a common
        radiating point; as, polar co["o]rdinates.
  
     Polar axis, that axis of an astronomical instrument, as an
        equatorial, which is parallel to the earths axis.
  
     Polar bear (Zo["o]l.), a large bear ({Ursus, or Thalarctos,
        maritimus) inhabiting the arctic regions. It sometimes
        measures nearly nine feet in length and weighs 1,600
        pounds. It is partially amphibious, very powerful, and the
        most carnivorous of all the bears. The fur is white,

     Polar body, cell, or globule (Biol.), a minute cell
        which separates by karyokinesis from the ovum during its
        maturation. In the maturation of ordinary ova two polar
        bodies are formed, but in parthogenetic ova only one. The
        first polar body formed is usually larger than the second
        one, and often divides into two after its separation from
        the ovum. Each of the polar bodies removes maternal
        chromatin from the ovum to make room for the chromatin of
        the fertilizing spermatozo["o]n; but their functions are
        not fully understood.
  
     Polar circles (Astron. & Geog.), two circles, each at a
        distance from a pole of the earth equal to the obliquity
        of the ecliptic, or about 23[deg] 28', the northern called
        the arctic circle, and the southern the antarctic circle.
        
  
     Polar clock, a tube, containing a polarizing apparatus,
        turning on an axis parallel to that of the earth, and

        turned toward the plane of maximum polarization of the
        light of the sky, which is always 90[deg] from the sun.
  
     Polar co["o]rdinates. See under 3d Co["o]rdinate.

        circle passing through the poles of the earth. --Math.

        body from the north pole of the heavens.
