scientific interest attaching to the dis
covery.
Ages ago this mammoth died, under
such circumstances that it's corpus was
buried in mud. At about that time
there was great and permanent

polar regions. The climate had been

ANTARTIC EXPLORATION.
What the British Scientific Societies art
Organizing to Carry Out.

What the British Scientific Societies art
Organizing to Carry Out.
Three great British scientific sncietie:
are agreed that it is the duty Of the
British Government to fit out an ex
peditioa for thorough antarctic eNplo
ration. In November, 1893, the Roya
Geographical Society appointed not
able committee to inquire into the pro
priety Of such an expedition and re
port. They reported in favor of hav
ing the Government send two suitabi,
vessels to explore the south polar re
gions and keep them at it for three
years. The report was adopted ant
transmitted to the Royal Society, whici
in turn appointed a powerful commit
tee, which in May, 1894 reported strong
ly in favor of the scheme AT the be
ginning of the present year the coun
Gil of the British Association gave the
plan it's vigorous Endorsement, and i
doubtless took further action on it q
its recent annual meeting in Septem.
Der. The plan of DR.. John Murray, OF
the Challenger, who addressed the
Royal Geographical Society on the sub
]ect two years ago, was to send ou
two suitable Government steamships OF
about 1000 tons each, have them starr

tic continent. The ships would lanC
the shore parties the first summer, visit
them the second, and take them OFF
the third, and would spend their owr
winters and all their other available
time in deep sea and other observa.
tions along the outer margin of the ant
arctic ice.
What may be found on the antarctic
continent no man can say. Animal life
in abundance was found last year al
Cape Adair by G. E. Borchgrevink,
young Norwegian, who sailed there as
one Of the crew of a whaler, and whose
account Of his experiences excited in.
terest at a recent geographical congress
in London. Mr.. Borchgrevink wants
to go back, and writes to the London
Times pressing for further and imme-
diate research within the antarctic cir
cle." 1t is held to be possible that a
new race Of men may exist somewhere
within hail Of the south pole, and that
such creatures as the ichthyosaurus
may still survive in the antarctic seas.
Seals and sea-birds are abundant there:
what else no one can say; but many
inquisitive persons want to know.
Our countryman, DR.. Frederick Cook
greatly desired to fit out an American
south polar expedition to start out this
last fall and catch the next antarctic
summer, but his efforts in that direc-
tion seem not yet to have come to any
thing. Perhaps he will do better an
other year; but at any rate there seems
real prospect that a serious attempt
to find out whatever can be known
about the antarctic continent will be
made before the present century ends.

Curious Ways of Animals.

Mice seem to have a great fondness
for all sorts of harmonic sounds. and
have been known to come out of their
holes and listen attentively to a boy
whiStling. Cows care nothing at all
for music, nor, as far as can be learn
ed, do asses. Elephants and horses. on
the other hand are in some degree con-
Scious Of its charms and will often,
when marching in procession, accom-
modate their step to the beat of the
music. A prisoner in the Bastile who
played upon the bag-pipes succeeded
in attracting the attention of a spider,
which. after several months, became
a regular attendant at his daily con-
certs. But though music has no charm
for the lion and tiger it has been dis
covered by a naturalist who has been
conducting some experiments in the
London Geological GAp1nns, that these
animals are instantly and powerfully
affected by the smell of lavender water.
Under its influence they become as
docile as lambs, forgetting even hun
ger The effect is not unlike that ex-
erted upon cats by catnip and mint.
It has been generally supposed that
the strains Of music have a peculiar
influence in subduing the untamed
spirit of wild animals. This belief NAV
possibly have been inculcated by the
line Music hath charms to sooth the
savage beast" That this notion is a
mistaken one is now agreed by all who
have made practical test Of the mat
ter. Dogs sometimes show their ap-
probation of music by emitting SYM
pathetic howls. Cats. on the other
hand. are apparently disgusted with
harmonious sounds as produced by hu-
man agency, and at once retire to a
distance. solacing themselves with
their own vocal renditions Singing
birds, however. are charmingly affect
ed, and trill as If their little breasts
would break in the effort to surpass
the performer. Hyenas, rhinoceroses
hyppotetamuses, pigs, ostriches, deeA
llamas. tigers, lions and leopards ap-
pafently are not affected by music, ex-
cepting that they occasionally show
some curiosity.

The Antartic Continent.

There is every reason to believe thai
the antarctic continent, certain evil
dences of the existence of which have
but recently been discovered. is con
siderably larger than Europe in area
1t contains more than 100000 square
miles. Mr.. c. E. Borchgrevink, who
has journeyed we'll into this region and
has observed it carefully, declares that
it contains some large and fierce car
nivorous animals at present unknown
to science. It will be remembered that
heither the polar bear nor any other
large carnivorous land animal has beer
found in antarctic ATTITUDES. Mr.
Borchgrevink, however thinks that he
has discovered traces of some such
creature from the curious wounds OBJ
served on the backs of a number of
seals. 1t was frequently noticed that
the furry skins of these animals eXhib-
tied scars indicative of wounds they
had received. AT first it seemed rea-
sonable to suppose that such wounds
were received in the furious combats
which, under certain circumstances
seals wage against each other. Care
full examination of the traces of these
wounds has shown that they could have
been made only by some immense
powerful animal, at present unknown
to biologists.

Coach" was afterwards put on. which
performed it in thirteen hours in tn,

time taken in winter was two days. :
writer in 1873 suggested that only one

town in England, once a week, an'
that the speed should not be more thai
thirty miles day in summer an(
twenty-five in winter. Nine years lat
er the journey from Nottingham t(
London occupied four days in winter.
A writer in the reign of William III
describes England as eXcelling all othe:
nations in the matter of coacnes, whici
he particularly praises for their expe
dition. "Some of these coaches," h,
says, will travel about fifty miles il
summer day The state of the road
in 1903 may be gathered from the fac
that it took the King of Spain four
teen hours to go from Portsmouth t.
Petworth, in Sussex An attendan
says that they did not get out of the
coaches save only when they were
overturned or stuck fast in the mire,'
and the last nine miles took six hours
to cover
The fine kept roads which England
enjoys to-day are due to the stage
coach, and the comparison between
the roads over which the first of then
travelled and those of to-day is wide
indeed.
