ANTARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
The Australian Swedish Expedition is 10 &c
Fitted Out.

MELBOURNE, june 2. According TO
Pefermann's Mitteiiungea, after years Of
agitation all the difficulties in the way of
the Aastralisn-Sweissh expedition to the
Antarctic Ocean have been removed,
Three months ago i, SEEMED probable that
the entire undertaking had been defeated
through the failure OF some of the Austral-
ian colonies To contribute $1,000 each,
which was one OF the conditions on which
the tittiag out OF the expedition depended.
That difficulty has been overcome and all
the money required has been provided, so
that, with the addition of the So 900 which
that great friensl of Polar exploration. Mr..
uskar Dickson. has contributed, the expe-
ditiOa can be started in good shape. To
Baron Ferdinand voa Mueller, the Nestor
of German scholars in Australia, Is iu, the

the first time that ie has bsen influential in

"Oh' I've been playing with that

The mother smiled. "Wbat is your

young people are those that have a

NJ ct a Lion Alone.

A boy who is brought up among the
wild scenes OF Western life thinks lit
tie of dangers that would brighten
many an Eastern boy out OF his wits.
Indeed, the boys often show less con.
Germ in the face of peril than grown,
up people. A gentleman recently told
this story OF hunting expedition
along the Arkansas river.
IA man named Britton had his
young son with him, n manly little fell
low, who could land u trout and
bring down an antelope with the best
OF us. One day he got separated
from the party, lost his way, and
spent the night in the mountains. lie
had with him n 3s-calibrc rifle, n good
weapon for small game, but in he sec
ton where we were camped mountain
lions were plentiful.
His father WAS wellnigh distracted,
and we searched all night long for tho
adventurous youngster without avail.
Just at sunup we started to return
to camp. As we descended Il raVine
we discovered the object OF our search
sound asleep, with his mead pillowed
on an enormous mountain-llon, which
was curled up rs though enjoying n
nap. Three OF us approached
cautiously to within fifty yards, drew
IL bead on the animal, and ut a given
signal fired. The brute never stirred.
The boy, whom we supposed dead,
hall rose, rubbed his eyes, and in
quired, peevishly:
What are you fellers tryin' t do?
I killed this yere lion four hours ago."
