 AN ANTARCTIC OASIS.
A Queer Discovery Made During the
 Recent Expedition

Recent Expedition
 Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described in the Century for January by Mr. Fred erick A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- cie is very fully illustrated. @An oasis in snowy wilderness. is the phrase he employs in eharaeterizing certain bit of the antarctic land Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown region before Us while enshrouded in mist, we drew near a prominent morn- tain peak to make a de5arkment The tiff was a perpendicular cliff, frea of snow to the seashore. It was one of a sumber extending far into the south cast. as We learned on ths following day. We made debarkment at it's 1ase. Here was life in profusion, as Indeed there was on every rock where Life cogld gain a footing. The noise from the birds, which re-echoed from cliff to cliff, was deafening. The lower rocks were lined with snoring and grunting sea-leopards. Columns of : gapor rose above the water. followed by q hiss like that of steam engine, and a seeonG later the blue back of a whale, with it's long fin and ponderous 1 tail, lashed the water into feamy whirlpool. The great wall of land-ice rose to each side of the black cliff, which gave us shelf as a landing place. From this wall came frequent l sounds like the explosion of a cannon, which were followed by a splash and commotfon in the water. With such fsports parts of the wall would con. stantly break away and fall Into mf1- 1 tion pieces, streWing the water with small fragments Of ice, but not with ieebergs. Above us rose a cliff to an altitude Of about 2.000 feet; out from this were projecting mante1-like rocks. which served as resting places for the cormorants and sea-gulls Here the young ones. dressed in gray down. coaxed their mothers for food. We ex- peeted to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- 1 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 lichens, 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 en endless expanse of icy desert was a great relief 1t waR sn <24*ss a=e = -~~--,as --.1@>-.s---

 9ouriod's Lost Opera.

Few people are aware that Gounoe
 once. in moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had
 composed. and, though he afterwards repented q his action, he was quite unable to recall it's melodies. Gounod's opera Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music. but, happily for posterity. he thought better of his reso- sution.

Fart of the Brain That Keep. uan.ea

An Austrian savant has declared that the human brain contains a name center.' He says that it is the office of this cell to retain names. A strik- ing case which would seem to confirm this theory recently occurred at CleYe- land. A brakeman was shot by Q con- dnetor, and the former could not re- member the names of persons and things, although he could perfectly well describe the functions of all ar- tfeles exhibited to him. A surgeon probed for the bullet and found it in the exact spot neeessa affeet the remembrance of nan4g.

An ExtraordInar, Occurrences.

An extraordinary occurrence was re- ported in Leicester, England, recently. Special intercession services for sol- diers fighting in South Africa are be- ing held daily in Broughton Astley church. While the bell was being rung. however, and the congregation enter- ing the church, strange visitor ar rived. It appeared that the Atherstone hounds had met at Ullesthorpe, found two foxes at Frolesworth Gorse, and followed one across the fields to Broughton Astley. Here the fox, being hard pressed, and seeing the church door open, sought sanctuary there. but the hounds, being close to his heels, followed him into the church, caught him, and there and then dispatched him

IS A THING OF THE PAST.
Ione-Hofaed Steer Took Too Much Space
 and Held Too Decided Opinions.

kone-Uofned Steer Took Too Much Space
 and Held Too Decided Opinions.
 Ten years from DOW the visitors at the stock yards in Chicago will looh at the massive horns nearly six feet from tip to tip that hang over the doorways of offices and hardly be able to believe that they were taken from the head of "beef eritter" on the Texas ranges, and that hundreds of thousands Of cattle with such horns once ran half wild on the ranches and plains of the Lone Star stats. For tha passing of the long-herned, long legged, uncertain colored and still more uncertain tempered Texas steer is thing of today, and in his place one finds a stockily built, red or roan ami nal. with short, stubby horns, or no horns at all. The Texas steer of to- day is not properly descended from the Texas cattle of the past. He has sim- ply supplanted the others on the ranges, and the former animal has either migrated farther south or has gone out into space and is no more.
 
 is-has been brought about in many ways. The first great change came when the cattle man decided that car space that could be filled up by good, salable beef, was more profitable than that taken up by the picturesque horns of the Texas steer, and began to dehorn the yearlings and young steers. More could be gotten into a car, as they could stand closer together. It was but step to then begin to improve the quality by crossing the cows with fine bred bulls, Durham, Hereford and Angus, and the Texas steer of 1900 will compare very fayorably with the cat tie in Missouri. He has taken on weight, and will average 100 to 15Q hounds heavier tban in former days
