An Unknown Continent.

It is believed by many CT the worlds
leading geographers that there is q
south polar continent. pleasant re-
glon, overhung by thin vapor of
steam and shut out from US by wall
of ice. Possibly there is new race
on this unknown continent, with new
civilization. These polar people may
have big cities and towns or they may
be sayages living in the forests.
All this is possible, for very little is
known about the south pole. The
theory is gaining ground that beyond
the wall of ice is vast continent
altogether different from any other
quarter of the globe. Attempts have
been made to scale this wall, but the
explorers were not well equipped.
With better facilities it would be pos
sible to climb over the barrier and see
what is behind it.
According to Frobisher there is evi-
IDENTIFY cup-like continent behind
the ice wall, and the vapor hanging
over it is supposed to be produced by
the action of volcanoes into which
large bodies of water are constantly
pouring. The steamy vapor doubtless
modifes the climate and gives it a
genial or tropical nature.
What are the inhabitants like? The
scientists believe that they have light
complexions, blue eyes and blond hair.
Perhaps they are the race OF pink men
mentioned in the old chronicles, and
possibly may be found there some Of
the strange things heard of by the old
explorers, such as floating stones, men
with blue hair and other wonders.
With the dawn of the twentieth
century it may be that our ships will
be anchored in some new unknown
port of the continent which has 80
long been concealed from the inhabit-
ants of the other great divisions OF the
globe. Constitution.

A Puzzle iOf Red Men.

There are some Creek Indians living
in the Cherokee Nation that are mar
ried to Cberokees, and some Chero-
KEGS married to Creeks living in the
Greek Nation. The Greeks will not
allow these Cherokees any annuity be-
cause of their Cherokee blood; and,
not having any Greek blooi iu them.
the Cherokees will not give the Creeks
any annuity on account Of their Creek
blood, and in the wrangle for annuity

tion and married to Greeks do not get
any Creek money; neither will the
Cherokees allow them any Cherokee
annuity because &C their living in the
Greek Nation, anu vice versa. The way
the matter now stands those people
are left off both the Cherokee aud the
Greek rolls, although genuine Greeks
and Cherokees by blood. This is q
problem for the Greek and Cherokee
councils to solve.-Kansas City Times.

Our Criminal Population.

Professor Francis Waylaud told the
Social Science Association at Saratoga,
the other day, that We have about 81
600, 900 habitual criminals in our pop
ulation.
This is the professors estimate, and
if we had included those persons who
are always wavering on the borders OF
crime he might very well have raised
his figures to 100000. Such total,
however, must include those who are
guilty of small and occasional misde-
meanors which frequently escape pros
ecution.
The professors remedy is to lock up
all these millions of criminals, but we
do not see how it can be done. The
prison problem has almost swamped us
as it is, and if it gets any bigger it
will be too much for US.
There is one way out of it-when
the criminals are in the majority, as
they soon will be, at the present ratio
of increase, we can turn the tables on
them by making them lock us up, and
run the government, and tax them
selves for our support. Let the ma
jority rule is the basic idea of our gov
ernment.-Atlanta Constitution.

Antitoxin in Diphtheria.


In consequence of decree of the
German Chancellor, statistics have
been collected regarding the effects OF
the anti-diphtheritic serum. These
statistics cover the first three months
Of 1895, and they are supplied by 232
pLysiclans practicing in 191 hospitals.
The percentage of deaths in 2. 22S caees
was found to be only 17.3, whereas by
the older methods it averaged about
90. Prof. Richet publishes figures OF
mortality from diphtheria in Paris,
which show that either the disease has
this year taken a milder form Or that
DR.. Rouz's serum treatment is effec-
tive. The deaths in 1884 in Paris hos
pitals were 400; from 1887 to 1891
they were from 900 to $50 year !;
from 1892 TO 1894 they averaged 1888;

Relics of the Arawaks.

In the Port Royal Mountains, Jamai-
CO, an interesting archaeological dis
covery was recently made of a cave
containing the skeletons of at least
twenty-four of the aboriginal Arawaks.
When Columbus discovered the island
in 1494 the Arawaks were estimated at
about 600, 900. A century and half
later, on the capture of Jamaica by the
English, they had completely disap-
peared, even to their bones, as only
the skulls until now had been
found. These showed frontal de-
preston with lateral expansion, an ar
tifcially formed deformity that is also
found in those Just discovered, which
are of all ages. A shattered canoe OF

Belligerency of the cubans.

The cubans are extremely anxious
to obtain from the United States rec
ognition of their belligerent rights,
believing, and possibly correctly, that
under this recognition their independ-
ence would be secured. Under it they
could buy arms and munitions of war
in the United States, or their friends
could ship these to them. They would
have liberty of trade, and while they
would not have liberty to enlist men
for their armies, they would have the
next thing to it. The barrier against
recruiting would be practically broken
down. 1t would be an easy matter to
send recruits to Cuba as nominally the
crews of merchant ships. Under o
grant of belligerent rights there is no
doubt that this would be winked at.
More that that could not be permitted
without laying ourselves open to the
charge of furnishing men to fight q
nation with whom we are at peace.
But that would be enough. In the
event of it, adventurers would flock to
Cuba in hope of gold and glory. With
such assistance to the rebels it might
be question if the Spaniards could
hold their own in the island long.
The grant OF belligerepcy is always
delicate matter, for it is always re-
garded as an evidence of hostility. In
the event of it Spain would be con-
vinced that when the moment came we
would go farther in the interest OF her
rebels. That is one reason why the
grant is refused. Another is that it
might serve merely to encourage re-
bellion; that is, the Cubans might be
conquered in spite of it. No nation
likes to take the risk of recognizing q
rebellion which does not give satifac-
tory proof that it will end in indie
pendence, for every nation which does
that expects when independence is es-
tablished, return of the favor in the
shape of trade or other privileges.
This is not the first rebellion in Cuba.
There have been others which gave
more promise of success than this one
does.
Add that the authorities at Wash.
ington have their doubts of the ability
of the Cubans to carry on an inde
pendent government if they had one
or least such government as would
be worth helping to create. If the
Cuban people had had different train
ing, or if they were of one blood, it il
safe to say that the authorities o.
Washington would be more disposed
to stretch point in their favor. The
parallel between France at the out
break of the American Revolution an6
the United States now, as drawn by {
representative of the Cubans, is greatly
misleading, for France then had hel
revenge to wreak upon England
through her revolted colonies, while
we have none to wreak upon Spain
and as to the comparative fitness O.
the Americans for self-rule then anc
the Cubans now, the less said the kind
lier. 1t is mistake to suppose tha
this country is opposed to liberty il
refusing to grant them beligeren
rights. 1t is opposed to involving
itself in complications with Spair
without reasonable certainty that the
resulting good will justify it.-Pitts

recently performed in Australia, when
the land lines between Broome, in
West Australia, and Rockhampton, in
Queensland, were joined, and direct
messages were conveyed between the
two places, which are 6575 miles apart.
Automatic repeaters were used, and
these were placed at nine stations.
