AN ANTARCTIC OASIS.
Queer Discovery Made During tho
 Recent Expedition.

Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition. are described in the Century for January by MT. Fred erick A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- ele is very fully illustrated. An oasis in 8 snowy wilderness" is the phrase he employs in characterizing a certain 5lt of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown region before Us while enshrouded in mist. we drew near a prominent mera- fain peak to make a debarkment. The tiff was a perpendicular cliff, freo of SHOW to the seashore. It was one of a c7tmbar extending far into the south east, as we learned on the following jay, We made a debarkment qt it's 98se. Here was life in profusion, as
 indeed there was on every rock where
 fife could gain a footing. The noise trom the birds, which re-echoed from Tiff to cliff, was deafening. The lower ,eeks were lined with snoring and sfanting sea-Ieopards. Columns of vapor rose above the water followed 5y hiss like that of a steam engine, and second later the blue back of whale. with it's long fin and ponderous tail, lashed the water into a foamy whirlpool. The great wall of 1and-iee rose to each side of the black cliff, which gave Us a shelf as landing place. From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of cannon, which were followed by splash and a commotion in the water. With such reports parts of the wall would con- 5tantly break away and fals Into a mil lion pieces, streWing the water with small fragments of ice, but not with teebergs. 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- streyed 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 an endless expanse of 'ey desert was a great relief. It was Sr1 zrs

cAMEHoR GROWING lNFLoRIDA
Much of the Gum in the States Comes
 From the Everglades.

Florida is in fair way to become the rival in camphor production of China, Japan and Formosa. Hereto fore the world has derived it's supplies of that gum from the countries named, but of the vast camphor forests that once existed in these regions but a small portion remains. This Is the direct result of the wanton waste in the process practiced for obtaining the gum from the tree. Camphor is usual ly obtained by boiling the chips of the wood and roots and bark in great ket- ties with water and condensing the vo' latiHzed gum on rushes suspended over the kettles. In this process the entire tree is cut down and even the roots dug up, but in Florida it was found that the gum could be commercially pro- duced from the leaves and twigs, sev- enty-seyen pounds of which yield one pound of gum. Hence the bearing tree need not be disturbed or injured in any way, as the foliage 1t bears is very dense and may be thinned down one- half without scarcely being noticed. The tree, besides, bears a very great amount of pruning without injury. It is an evergreen, and makes three growths a year-in April, June and De- tober The tree removes nothing from the soil, the gum being formed entire ly from the gases of the atmosphere, and hence the leaves, when deprived of their camphor and returned to the soil, constantly enrich the soil, which in time requires no fertilizing what ever. Aside from it's commercial uses the eamphor tree is one of the most ornamental ever cultivated. it's beauti- fu1 shape being equaled by the arbor vitae only. Its lower branches lie on the ground. while the top forms a per- feet cone The flowers are small. but exceedingly pretty, while the leaves are Of g beautiful pale, glossy green color.
