ANTARCTIC POSSIBILITIES,



The recent Antarctic expedition was a
commercial one, and commercially it
was failure, because we did net find
the right whale so valuable for its
| whalebone. The Antarctic was fitted
out for The hunt of that peculiarl's- \; 10 d
| whale. Nevertheless, have 10 doubt
that the commercial results of the eXpe-
dition would have been much better
lad we worked under more favorable
auspices.
do not by any means consider the
fact of our not having met with the
light whale in these seas as conclusive
proof of their noG-eXiStence in the bay
at Victoria Land. The Antarctic found
the right whales at Campbell island in
the winter time; the boats fastened to
five of them, of which, however, only
one was caught. Now to ne it does not
seem improbable that these whales go
south to the bay az Victoria land where
hose saw them in the summer, and re-
turn north in the winter. 1t would
seem incredible that man of Sir James
Roses standing, supportt d as he was
by the able scientists and experienced
whalers, should have made a grave
error when he said this valuable whale
was to be found in large numbers in
those ATTITUDES.
The difference in the appearance of
the blue whale, as we found it there,
and the right whale in the method of
spouting is so striking that even the
most casual observer could not easily
he deceived. Very possibly, had we
penetrated further into the large, open
bay, discovered by Ross 1T the vicinity
of the volcano peaks, Erebus and Ter
ror, we, too, would have found the right
whale in great numbers. We saw many
blue whales, but had not the appliances
TO take them.
AS l remarked at the international
geographical congress, we found few
seals. They increased in number, how
ever, in number as we worked east
ward; they seemed afraid of the land
All the seals that we met on the shore
showed much uneasiness and speedily
made for the water, fact which
strengthened my belief in the exist
ence in large enemy of the seal on the
continent. l do not doubt that the
seals congregate together in large num-
Eers at some places on the bay.
| consider the guano beds which we
discovered of great commercial impor-
lance, and they ought to be well worth
the attention of enterprising business
men. The specimen which | brought
lack with me cortains large percent
age of ammonia.
Furthermore, from the analysis of
the specimen of rock which 1 brought
back with me, the possible and probable
presence of valuable minerals on the
continent is proved, although the lava
and volcanic extent of the coast line
do not speak favorably for the pre- s.
cnce of heavy metals near the surface.

POPPLEDUKE'S ADVENTURE.


Mr.. Poppleduke and Maj. Simms are
two worthy bachelors inhabi:ing the
same boarding house Each is happy in
the possession of good many friends
and, not having to get up early in the
morning, they sometimes stay out late
at night. 1t must be admitted that Mai.
Simms sometimes has trouble in max
ing port, especially after dinner. Not
so in the case of Mr.. Poppledukc. No
matter how late the dinner or joyous
the occasion, his fine instinct never de-
serts him. Naturally he has often grid
ed at the major on his weakness.
Why" he said, you have trouble in
getting home after supper, and never
can do it without help after dinner.
Major, L could come home all right
after breakfast"
But Mr.. Poppleduke's hour of humil-
iation arrived. 1t was after glorious
dinner to friend who had just been
appointed consul to an important post.
NJ. Poppleduke came home III a cab
He never faltered as he went up the
front steps, and his hand had the pre-
cision of a conjurer's as he sought the
key-hole. Inside he deposited his hat
end coat and started up the stairs,
walking with preternatural stiffness,
and disdaining to touch the banisters or
wall. Now it happened that servant,
after doing some cleaning in the sec
ond story, had very carelessly left
stepladder at the head of and facing
the stairs. Of course Mr. Poppleduke
vent on up the stepladder. "Shteepesh
shtairs ever sheen" he was heard to
observe when about halfway up. Then
he went on, and reaching the top,
stepped off. The back of the steph1der
broke his fall, and he only shot to the
floor like very rapid toboggan, and
sat there with his feet thrust ont in
front of him. He hitched his shoulders
up into position, and after giving
the subject the thought which so re-
narkable phenomenon deserved, said:
"Mosht extraordinary 'currence ever
knew. Fell down back shtairs. Back
shtairs shteeper'n front shtairs." "a
long pause, during which lie spiea his
own door directly in front of k;m.)
"No, that washn't it. Girl left Diesh
wet shoap on shtairs. Shtepped on wet
shoap. Fell off; then fel! down. Won't
tip girl mex Chrishmash!" He reached
up, turned the knob and crept into his
room on his hands and knees. not dar-
ing again to trust himself on his feet.
The next morning it was Maj Simms'
turn to grid. But he refused to ac-
knowledge that he had placed the step
ladder where it was found.-Harper's
Magazine.

The 6ABY'S FIRST SMILE.

There's many a pleasure we meet with In
life.
OF 10y there is many a thrill;
There are transports that come in the
midst of the strife.
! Whom the noise of the conflict is still.
But there's naught in this world so Won
d'rously sweet
From Greenlands white SHOWS to the
Nile,
There's nothing so heavenly, pure and COM
plete
AS a dear little babys first smile.
The lovers first kiss-we know it Is tne
Its memory will haunt US for aye;
Though the flowers may fade and the stars
may decline.
: It's rapture will never decay.
Yet not for a moment can we compare
What may have tincture of guile,
In an Eden of blossoms so fragrant and fair,
With an innocent baby's first smile.
IAN angel, perhaps, is beautiful slght'
But an angel we never have seen.
And far, far away on the regions of light.
With their daisy-starred meadows SO
green;
but we are content when here we behold
Encountered with burdens the while,
a CLEAN from the city whose streets are OF
gold.

ADVICE ABOUT DRIVING.
What to Do When You start Out on 8
Long Journey.

/
| The most important rule for long-dis-
| lance driving is to start off slowly. The
roadster should have an opportunity to
| stretch his legs and to get his second
| wind before being called upon for a real
| effort. No matter how great the hurry,
| time will be gained in the end by driv-
| ing the first three or four miles at a gait
not exceeding six or seven miles an
| hour. With a substantial load, or in
very hot weather, the pace should not
be more than five or six miles an hour.
/ happened once to see pair of horses
| just as they finished drive of 20 miles
over very billy country. They had
accomplished it in the excellent time of
two hours and a half, and they arrived
in good condition. A week later the
same horses were driven by different
man over the same road in three hours
and a half, and they were completely
exhausted by the journey. The explain
alton was that the second driver had
| started at great pace and kept it up
| for the first three or four miles, al
| though there were some steep hills to
| climb. 1t is more common mistake
to suppose that horse can maintain
a fast gait without fatigue over a long
] level stretch When the road is perfect
/ ly level the labor of drawing vehicle,
/ though not excessive, is absolutely con-
huuous, so that it becomes exhausting
after few miles. On such a road the
| horse should be permitted to walk a
little once in every two, three or four
miles, according to the weight of the
carriage, the condition and ability Of
the animal, the weather, and other cir
cumstances. An up-and-down road,
even though the hills are steep, is far
| less fatiguing to the horse than a level
one, besides being, as rule. much more
picturesque. At least half of the vii
lagos i'll the mountainous parts of New
England are connected by two roads,
one through the valley, and another,
but seldom used, over the hills. The
traveller would do well il most cases to
pursue the billy route.
Much discretion also can be exercised
in choosing the good parts of the road,
in taking advantage of declivites, in
! casing the horse where the going is
| y
or even when, for some reason not APP
parent to the driver, he seems to need
slight let-up. In short, to he a good
driver, especially for long distances, a
man must be sympathetic with his
horse, and must understand the Ian
guage of his ears, his tail and his gait.
Care should of course be taken-and a
very little will suffiee-to turn the horse
away from stones, lest he should trip
over them, and to clear them with the
wheels also. lest an unpleasant jar
should be given the vehicle There is
one peculiar fact about the avoidance
of stones with which no doubt all bicv-
Gle riders are familiar. If you begin
to make your calculations at some dis
lance off, you are almost sure to miscal-
culate and to hit the stone, whereas if
you wait till the last moment the slight
est turn of the wrist will enable you to
dust your stone almost without touch
ing it.-Henry Childs Merwin, in Har-
per's Magazine.
