| teresting throughout and is of much | importance in it's field, it being the first
 great contribution made in our time to | the literature of Antarctic exploration | All have read of the far north. Here | is told clearly and forcibly in graphic | words, yet modestly and unassumingly
 much of thrilling interest regarding re- l gions some of them before unknown to | man, in the frozen south. This narra- tive of the Belgian expedition of 1S9S- 99, with the story of it's hardy pioneer explorers, is the first chapter of human
 experience through the long, terribly
 dreary, sunless winter and inexpressi- bly, tedious and long night of the under surface of the globe. Seals and pen
 guins were about the only living things
 the brave voyagers saw for many
 months in that ice-bound waste, where
 their ship was locked in by the ice.
 The reader shares in the intense relief
 that came to the Voyagers in the return
 of the light of the sun after the awful
 and dreary Antarctic night was over.
 The author tells of tribe of Fuegian
 giants met with when the ship stopped
 en route to the frozen regions at the
 main island of Terra del Fuego-an is-
 land as large as New York state; of the
 life and habits of curious race of anil
 mals; of the helpless drift of the Bel
 gica over many hundred miles of
 mysterious sea while fast frozen in the
 ice; of the discovery or new naviga-
 ble highway and of the exploration of
 five hundred miles of coast in new
 land of ice and snow. How the officers
 and crew spent their time during the
 long Antarctic night; how they warded
 off the intense cold; how they at last
 yielded as last resort to eat penguin
 meat as a change from salt junk and
 canned foods; how they beguiled weary
 hours away and celebrated Christmas
 and other holidays, is interestingly told,
 and the book in short is one of much
 interest as well as of marked scientific value. For sale at Judd's. The pulp fishers will send these books to any ad- dress on approval on receipt of price.
