SEEKING THE SOUTH POLE.

The two most important exploring
expeditions which have ever been fit
ted out for the South Polar seas will
start from England and Germany this
month-the English in the Discovery
and the German in the Gauss both of
them new ships especially constructed
for an Antarctic exploration and
equipped with everything needful for
the most complete and varied scien-
tif1c observation, even including a cap
tive balloon and an electrical plant.
The two vessels are about the same
size-170 feet in length and 35 feet in
breadth and have displacements of
about 1900 tons. They are strongly
built of oak and sheathed with green
heart. The bows are steel-plated, and
made with a great sheer, SO that they
will tend to ride up on the ice ana
break it with their weight. They are
rugged for sailing, but carry auxiliary
steam engines of about 400 horse
power, and the screws and rudders are
so arranged that they can be hoisted
out of the water in case of danger
from ice. The living rooms in both
vessels are amidships, the stoke hole

there was originally uniform fauna
throughout all the seas of the globe,
which is now surviving only at the
poles, having been superseded in the
warmer regions of the ocean by newly
developed FORMS
The North pole, chiefly for geograph-
ical reasons, has been much more sue
cessfully and continuously attacked
than it's southern counterpart The
cause of this is plainly shown by the
two diagrammatic maps.
The North pole is closely surround
ed by large land masses, all of them
inhabited and fairly accessible. The
Antarctic continent (if it is a contin-
ent) lies in the midst of a great ocean,
the nearest land being the narrow ex-
tremity of South America, many hun
dreds of miles away. So that while
the North pole has been approached
to within about 225 miles, no human
being has ever been nearer than about
700 miles to the South Polar axis.

ical difficulties, that an enormous re-

and dangerous region on the globe;
much more so than the Arctic.
The weird and fantastic quality OF
the whole region is well described by
Henryk Arctowski, member of the
Belgica expedition He says:
THE silence which broods at times
over this unknown world is singularly
impressive, but occasionally noun
tain of ice collapses with laundering
crash One could hardly believe ones
eyes when these changes in the fairy
like scenes occurred were it not for the
dull rumbling growl of the disrupted
glaciers In fact this realm of eternal
ice is so different from anything one
has seen that it appears another world
altogether. In sober truth, l do not
believe that in any fable the human
Imagination has described what We
bave seen here" In view of the great
interest which attaches to the expedi-
ton of 1901, and the very radical
changes which their explorations may
bring about in Antarctic geography, it
will be of interest perhaps to go over
briefly the history of the region and
our present knowledge regarding it.

TEACHES INDIANS TO WORK.

Redslkin Boy Laborers Brave the Jeers
and Scorn of Elders.
Indians are not easily persuaded to
abandon old customs and the work of
the government agents when they try
to teach them the white mans way is
often arduous and the results discou1-
aging An experiment of much value
was attempted among the Cheyennes
in Oklahoma not long ago. An Indian
agent wished the schoolboys to milk
cows for him and agreed to give to
each one who MIXED for three months
a nice calf. Fifteen boys started, but
they were SO ridiculed by the older
men of the tribe that twelve of them
gave it up. Three won the calves and
the pride of being owners of cattle
served as quite an assistance in getting
ether Indian children to try. After a
year twelve boys had won calves and
him, agreeing to give them all the corn
they could grow. The boys volunteered
to grow corn and they actually raised
1000 bushels, which was sold and aft
erward converted into thirty-five head
OF steers. Each steer was branded with
an individual brand chosen by the boy
owner. This made them prouder than
ever and more Industrious. Every boy
at the agency wanted to go to work at
once and as result of that experiment
the Cheyennes are the most Industrious
farmers of any tribe so recently on the
warpath.-Chicago Chronicle.

geographers decided that an antarctic
continent would be necessary to pre-
serve the symmetry of the EARTH Ac-
cording to Pomponius Meia, between
the real world which he knew and
his hypothetical Antarctica there lay
an intensely torrid zone, scorched by
the sun and enveloped in mist, over
which it was impossible for man to
sail And he accounted for the volume
of the Nile by supposing it to rise in
this southern continent, pass under the
waters of the torrid zone. and again
come to the surface in South Africa.
AS commerce was gradually extended
in all directions these fantastic notions
were one by one dispeiled, and. al
though during the middle ages the idea
of an antipodes, or antichthone, as it
was also called, was considered hereti-
cal and rejected by the church, geog-
raphy was being gradually perfected
on the basis of Ptolemy's great work.
Through the perseverance of Prince
Henry the Navigator, who sent out
vessel after vessel the southern limit
of Africa was fixed, and it was clear
ly shown that whatever land lay to
the south had no connection with it,
An antarctic continent appeared on
Schoner's globes in 1915.
Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch ex-
plorers worked away at the islands just
south of the known continents, and
many of them were named as portions
of a great antarctic land. Cook, in his
second voyage, 1772-5, sailed around
the globe between 40 degrees and so
degrees south latitude, discovered the
great ice barrier, and finally settled
the much discussed question of land
connection between the continents and
Antarctica. Cook reached a south lat
itude of II degrees 10 minutes, the
highest then attained. Here he found
immense fields of ice, which extended,
unbroken, for miles. Whales, blue,
brown, and white petrels, and a few
sooty albatrosses were the only ami
mails seen. The Russian expedition,
commanded by F. G. Won Bellinghau-
sen, 1882, reached SO degrees So
minutes in longitude 90 degrees 10
minutes. James Weddell, in 1928,
sailed with two vessels on a sealing
expedition: He reached a south lati-
tude of "A degrees Is minutes in longi-
tude "a degrees 16 minutes west. At
this high latitude, exceeding Cooks
by three degrees, he found the sea
open and only three icebergs visible.
Many minor expeditions followed
these, and a number of new islands
were discovered and named. Among
these minor expeditions may be mem
toned those of Lieut.. Wilkes of the
United States navy, and a French ex-
petition in charge of M. D'Urville4
The next expedition of leading inn
portance was that of Sir James CLARK
Ross, 1903, and, indeed. the only one,
up to the two which will start this
month, with anything like a satisfac-
tory equipment, which has ever at
tackled the Antarctic seas. This was
a purely scientific expedition, its chief
purpose being to study the magnetic

Even in his youth Mark Twain was
prone to an indulgence in joking His
father was greatly interested at one
time in ORTHODOXY and constantly on
the lookout for rare specimens of the
bird creation. He had several friends
who were also enthusiasts on the sub
ject of birds. Whenever any one of
them discovered a rara avis it was the
custom to have a consultation. Mark
had been a witness of several of these
bird inquests and had noted the de-

judgment that it was of the crow

The City of Silence.

Night was upon us and we were met
by the fact that we were lost-lost in
the desert. My guides, both experts,
were filled with terror, and swore that
it was an omen of evil. / laughed at
their fears, and told them we would
have to make the best of it, and that
the morning light would probably lead
us out of our difficulty; we finally sank
to rest Just how long we slept 1
know not, but suddenly, as if at some
given signal, we sprang to our feet, TO
be confronted by an immense figure

lures and costume an Egyptian. At
sight of him, my guides, uttering cry
of terror. fed, and 1, smitten with a
nameless apprehension, would have
followed, when the gentle voice of the
stranger, bidding me remain and fear
naught, stayed nay steps.

temples and pyramids of the desert,

age, and 1 will acquaint you with won
ders of which you have not dreamed"

piled, for his noble mien and counte-
nance had won my trust and rever-
ence. Then blackness swept over me,
and on recovering 1 found myself ly-
ing before a city SO glorious and I'M
common that the remembrance of it
will never be obliterated from my
mind 1t shone in the pale moonlight
like semi-transparent pearl, and
could see that it was composed wholly
Of alabaster; its architecture was
beautiful and sublime. Pyramids rose
like gigantic guards around the city,
and battlemented walls, strength
ened by towers, whose heads
seemed pouring into Heaven, en-
closed a multitude of temples, obS-
lisks and mansions whose whiteness l
perceived cleaning from amidst de-
ightful groves of luxuriantly foliaged
trees. But a silence more strange and
solemn than was ever yet born of
night reigned within. / felt it to be
that of the grave, and recognized the
gruesome fact that my companion who
stood beside me was the spirit of one
dead.

sadness resembled the signing of
winds. Behold o mortal, the City
Of Silence! Arise and let US enter!"
