The Chicago Times Herald, staunch Republican paper, says the Republi- cans must prepare to lose New York after the nomination of Roosevelt. It gives as reason for these views that the demogogues and plutocrats of New York state, headed by Platt, have cons pired to oust Roosevelt from the governors chair, in order that they might renew their loot and rape of the peoples rights. Roosevelt is stubborn and in their way, and they know the best way to shelve him is to run him for the vice-presidency.

AN ANTARCTIC A OASIS.
A Queer Discovery Made During .,.
 Recent ExpedItiQn.


 Recent ExpedItiOn
 Recent antarctic discoveries hv tba Belgian expedition, are described in the Century for January by Mr Erad- er1ek A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose art,. cle is very fully illustrated. "An oaais In snowy wilderness" is the phrase he employs in characterizing certain oit of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown region before us while enshronded in mist, We drew near prominent moco- talh peak to make a deharbment. The elllt was a perpendicular cliff, free of snow to the seashore. It was one of Anmber extending far into the soutb- east, as we learned on the following qay. We made a debarkment at it's oase. Here was life in profusion. as indeed there was on every rock where lile could gain footing. The noise tfom the birds, which re-echoed from cliff to cliff, was deafening. The lower rocks were lined with snoring and gruntlng sea-leopards. Columns of vapor rose above the water. followed oy q hiss like that of steam engine, and a seeonc later the blue back of WhaIe, with it's long fin and ponderous tail, lashed the water into a foamv Whirlpool. The great wall of land-iee rose to each side of the black cliff. which gave us a shelf as a landing place. From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of a cannon, which were followed by a splash and commotion in the water. With such reports parts of the wall would con. stantiy break away and fal! into mil lon pieces, strewing the water vita small fragments of ice, but not with tcebergs Above us rose a cliff to an altitude Of about 1000 feet; out from this were projecting mantel-Iike rocks, which served as resting places for the eormorants and sea-gulls. Here the young ones. dressed in gray down, coaxed their mothers for food. We ex- neeted to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below, but such an accident rarely hap pened. Our greatest surprise here was the discovery of large quantities of moss and liehens, which gave the spot an unexpected appearance of vegeta- ble life and color. After seeing noth- ing but Ice and black rocks for so many days, this sight of green and brown and red amid sn endless expanse of icy desert was a great relief It was Tn 4ASs@ sp -.:iS@~s@-1

OCTOPUS AS A FIGHTER.
Battle Between Two a Grewsome Sight Ostend Oyster Beds RuIned by Them

ostend Oyster Beds Ruined by Them
 4 plague of the octopus is reported at 0stend, and the age-famous oyster beds of that resort are in serious dan- ger. This visitation is unusual, for the octopus is usually found in the gulf of Mexico, along the coast of southern California, or in Alaskan waters. Some of those in the gulf measure as much as twenty-nne feet across the body, their arms stretching out Infinitely 1t geems, to their prey. They do not at. tack men as a rule, but there have been many fierce eombats when an unfortun. ate fisherman happened to hook one An ichthyologist has only lately made study of small octopus three feet in diameter. It, was placed in tank. and the scientist put in one finger. Ima mediately one of the eight great feelerz came toward it, followed by the others These feelers, armed with powerful suckers, attached themselves firmly to the mans finger apd hand, ana made no further movement until he tried to withdraw it. Then they held all the tighter and the little mouth spoutee forth it's inky fluid to a distance Q! two feet At last he released his hand with an effort and tried to touch the body of the octopus As he did so it changed colors in rapid succession, passing from black to yellow, and theI' seemed to be all covered with black spots. Another octopus of the same size was placed in the tank, and then was a battle royal. The sixteen arms writhed and twisted, the water was stained black by the elected fluid, and 1t was thrilling sight 10 behold tbe entangled feelers, wrapped around each others bodies. After little the weak Pr of the two withdrew his arms, the other released him, Gnd the beaten monster drew himself into cornar tc pg1Ge his wounds.
