ANTARCTIC EXPLoRAT
A New Race May Be Discovered
by Pushing Ahead.

3. Three great British scientific soci-
eties are agreed that it is the duty
of the British government to fit out
an expedition for thorough antarctic
exploration. In November, 1893, the
Royal Geographical society appointed
a notable committee to inquire into
. the propriety Of such an expedition
and report. They reported in favor of
having the government send two suit
able vessels to explore the south po-
lar regions and keep them at it for
three years. The report was adopted
and transmitted to the Royal society,
which in turn appointed powerful
committee, which in May, 1894, re-
ported strongly in favor of the scheme,
according to Rarper's Weekly.
At the beginning of the present year
the council of the British association
gave the plan it's vigorous indorse-
ment, and it doubtless took further
action on it at its recent annual meet
ing in September. The plan of DR..
John G. Murray, of the Challenger,
who addressed the Royal Geographic
cal society on the subject two years
ago, was to send out two suitable
government steamships of about 900
tons each, have them start in Septem-
ber, land a company of about ten
men somewhere south of Cape Horn
and another in Victoria land, and
have these parties spend two years
or more ashore, exploring the ant
arctic continent. The ships would
land the shore parties the first sum-
mer, visit them the second and take
them off the third, and wonld spend
their own winters and all their other
available time in deep-sea and other
observations along the outer margin
of the antarctic ice.
/ What may be found on the antarctic
continent no man can say. Animal
life in abundance was found last
year at Cape Adair by Mr.. G. e.
sBorchgrevink, a young Norwegian,
who sailed there as one of the crew
of a whaler, and whose account Of
his experiences excited great interest
sat a recent geographical congress in
London. Mr.. Borchgrevink wants to
go back, and writes to the London
4 Times pressing for further and imme-
Idiate research within the antarctic
''circle." 1t is held to be possible that
a new race of men may exist some
where within hail of the south pole,
and that such creatures as the ichthy-
osaurus may still survive in the ant
arctic seas. Seals and seabirds are
abundant there; what else no one
can say; but many inquisitive persons
want to know.
Our countrymcl, DR.. Frederick
Cook, greatly desired to fit out an
American south polar expedition to
start out this fall and catch the
next antarctic sulr,rG. ell, bit his efforts
in that direction seem not yet to have
come to anything. Perhaps he will do
better another year; but, at any rate,
there seems real prospect that
serious attempt to find out whatever
can be known about the antarctic
continent will be made before the
present century ends.

HER DREAM

Told Her Where the Money Was
Hidden, and She Found 1t
There.
Atlanta Constitution.
Here is "a strange, true tale" with
the scene in Georgia, near the -four
ishing town of Covington. A few years
ago a negro woman living near Gov
ington lost son, by death. A week
or so ago the woman had dream, in
which the son appeared to her and
told her that if she would go to a GER
tain corner Of the house and dig she
would find a fiat rock, underneath
which she would find a lot of silver
money.
The woman awoke, and was so much
wrought up over the vision that she
aroused some of the family and went
at once to the designated spot and
began TO dig. Soon the fiat rock was
reached and removed with trembling
hands and high expectation. A small
box was revealed: this was taken out
and opened, and to the wonder and
astonishment of all present it con-
tanned thirty silver dollars!

French immigrants were also engaged
in this industry. Some of the best
colonists were natives of the Basque
provinces. The colonists as body
were a hard working community. They
labored over sixteen and seventeen
hours daily, including Sundays. The
women worked on the land. and the
children drove the plows as soon as
they were old enough. The soil was cas-
lily worked, and no manuring was nee
essary. Laborers were very little en-
ployed in the wheat growing districts
except for a few weeks during the
harvest The bulk of the work was
done by the colonists and their fami-
