PENETRATED
Into Unknown Seas oi
Antarctic Zone.
DR.. r. A. Cook Will Tell Story Of
His Trip.

His Trip.
The story of the voyage of the "Bel-
gica" to the Antarctic regions, is told
by Dr. #. A. Cook, the Anthropologist
and surgeon Of the expedition in his
recent volume, Through the First
Antartic Night" A journey over
twenty thousand miles in length, cover
ing over three fourths OF the earth's
circumference, penetrating into the
unknown regions that surround the
South pole, and including the first
experience of white men enduring
the long antarctic night, cannot fail
to be of interest, not alone because of
it's scientific merit, but also because
of the many tragic occurrences. The
"Belgca" expedition was sent forth
by the government of Belgium. 1t was
not as is frequently reported, the mis-
sion of the expedition to reach the
farthest south, that ambition is worthy
only mere adventurer, but to make
most careful scientific observations of
the physical and biological conditions
of the regions beyond the Antarctic
circle. Consequently the ship was
equipped with modern scientific ap.
paratus, for ascending and dredging
the oceans depths, for recording tenn
perature and precipitation, for deter
mining magnetic variations, for col
lecting all manner of organic forms,
for making indeed careful scientific
observations upon all points vital to
thorough knowledge Of the region.
And the mission of the voyage was
accomplished.
BY far the most thrilling portion of
the book is the description Of the long
Antarctic night and it's effect upon
the ship load of men. ice bound with,
in Its confines. For one year the Bel.
gica" was frozen fast in ice. During
this period, the party saw the sun
gradually recede from view, until fin-
ally it totally disappeared, and for
seventy days there was practically no
daylight. The faint, pale glimmer of
the moon, the twinkllng stars, and
their reflected sheen from the great
snow fields was all the light nature
yielded The effect upon the men was
depressing. Man, like a plant, needs
the light of the sun. To be long de.
privcd of it means fading away and
death. Gradually the members of the
expedition succumbed to the depres
sing spirit of darkness. The muscles
became flabby, the appetite failed, the
heart ceased to act with regularity
and all the symptoms of chronic an,
kaemia developed. One member of the
party died, and two of the sailors be,
came insane The remedy adopted by
Or. Cook, was unique. Drugs did little
good. The conditions of sun ligh,
were needed; so the men We're stripped
Of their clothing and placed for tive
hours in succession before a blazing
hre OF soft coal The result was graf
lifying, and with the return of tn,
sun, came the return Of good spirits
health and activity.
The foe in which the "Belgica" wa,
lodged had grown so ponderous dur
ing the long night, that the returning
sun failed to release the ship and tn,
men were compelled to saw cana
to the open waters and thus provide
way for their escape.
During all this time, the "Belgica'
had fioated with the ice, over thous
ands of miles of unknown sea. TIL

Washington, May 26.--Thc Senate to-
day agreed TO the resolution for an in
vestigation by the Committee on Cuban
Affairs of the Cuban postal and other
Irregularities. authorizing the commit
tee to visit Cuba il necessary to pursue

INTERESTING PENSION DECISION.
Washington, May 26.-Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock to-day rendered
Il decision which will be of interest to
a class of pension claimants. The
question arose under the statute giving
Il pension to children under 16 years
of age at the date of the disabled sol
der's death, and under the statute iim-
iting the time for filing claims for PEN
sion The Secretary holds that Section
4102 of the Revised Statutes, granting
4 pension to minor children. does not
require that the application therefor be
made before the child attains the age
of 16 years; and that the act of March
g. 1879, limiting the time of filing claims
for pension. is not applicable to claim
ants who were under l6 years of age on
July /, $780, In consequence, he directs
tho Commissioner of Pensions to pro-
coed with the consideration and decision
of these claims in all instances where
the claimant was under Is years of age
July /, 1880.

NOT so STRANGE.

Some credulous persons are puzzled
at the fact that the very minute OF the
beginning and ending of the eclipse is
known. TO astronomers and scientis 5
this IS rs simple as a sum in arithme-
tic: in fact it is nothing more than a
matter of figures. II would be hard to
explain how the astronomers figure 1t
out, but when it is known that the
Chaldeans and Egyptians thousands OF
years ago. before the birth OF Christ,
could figure out these things correctly,
it does not seem unreasonable that the
