The Antarctic Night. Henryk Arctowsky in Geographical Jour-

From this day May ID we were not to see the sun again for two months At the beginning We did not dread the prospect of this long polar night before us' but before the sun had been gone many days one of us became very i'll. Danco lacked the constitution to hold out, and on June he died. It is useless to dwell on sad recollections. He was loved on board the Belgica, and this loss following on the death of the sailor Wiencke. who was washed overheard by a wave in Brans- field Strait, made a deep impression on us. In the obscurity of the midday tWl- light we carried Dancos body to hole which had been cut in the ice. and com mitted it to the deep. A bitter wind was blowing as with barred heads each of us silent and sad, we left him there and the Hoe drifted on.
 In the antarctic regions. thanks doubt less to the detestable climate, the disas- trous effects of the polar night are Tar more marked than in the North There is a general lowering of the system and the heart acts feebly. Several of us de- veloped serious symptoms ana without daily care on the part of the doctor oth, CTS would not have survived the period of darkness, though 1t was relatively short One part of Cooks treatment was very effective and ingenious. Those who were most affected by deficient circula, tion were made to stand in half-naked condition close to the red-hot stove for several hours daily. In this way the ac- ton of the solar radiation was Tn part replaced by rays of artifcial heat-ln a manner admittedly primitive, put none the less beneficial
 Life on board during the polar night was of great interest from psychologi- cal point of view One finds ones sen II conditions of existence altogether abnof- maj, and crowded against ones fellows in an ,uncomfortably narrow space. Some became nervous, excitable, and sleepless, with the imagination continually wander ing and dreaming. I was one of these Others, more happily constituted, became | chemically tired and indifferent: these | slept much. But everybody was content | to spend twelve hours a day. more. in | bed One of the crew developed mani- | acial tendencies; another in more evil
 case was brought home insane. Since | the return of the expedition, one of our
 best men. Knutser, has died. doubtless from heart disease contracted in the ant arctic.

Italian . Violins.
Connoisseur

ConnoiSseur.
 Italian violins have not always held the supremacy they now enjoy. It was not. indeed, till the beginning of the nine teenth century that they came into vogue to any extent outside their native land. Previously Jacob Steiner Q621-SS) was the fayerite maker, and his high model had been almost exclusively copied by his fel- low Germans and the different makers In France and England. When the cider Cervetto, who had been a merchant be- fore entering the musical profession, came to London, in 17Ss. he brought with him some instruments by Stradivari The result of this endeavcr to introduce Italian work into England fills one With pathetic wonder; it Is almost beyond oe- lief. As he could not get as much as 10 for a violoncello, he was obliged to send the instruments back to Italy as bad speculation. Five pounds for "Strad and not a single purchaser to be found! This incident in itself furnishes suf- ficient testimony to the slavish following of the Great German maker and the strong prejudice of the violinists or that period in favor of the high model IL is. indeed, the players who are most to blame for the slow adoption of the nat model, for the creator must make "na' is necessitated by the demand; but the eighteenth century fiddlers, at any rate in England, France, and Germany. seem for the most part to have been content that their violins should possess small, sweet tone, never realizing the lack Of power and sorority.

Cannibal or Boot polisher,

Academy. :..
 While waiting on the doctors steps for the bell to be answered, l. heard the sound of brushing, and, looking down into the Bloomsbury area. l saw d small negro boy busilv polishing q boot. He glanced up with a friendly smile, his eyes and eth gleamed and l noticed that on his Tight wrist was q broad ivory ring.
 Jenny was rather deliberate that morn ins, and while I still waited two errand- bnys thr'ist their f'rCs hrtween the area ratings and stared down at the little alien.
 "Hullo, Blackv," one said Give us that ring2'
 Wonder what it's for?" said the other.
 Before could hear the reply the door opened, and I was soon in the doctors room.
 So you're no longer an Abolitionist!' said pleasantly.
 No he answered "at least, my sister isn't. That's hoy my brother-il-law has just brought from West Africa. He didn't exactly want him. but the boy was wild to see Englard and at the last mln- ute jumped on board"
 And what does the ring on his arm mean"
 ''Oh, he's Kings son out there. That's a symbol of authority; at home ne ms the power of life and death over hlty slaves"
 When I came away the boy was, stil' busIY a work but he had changed the boots for knife cleaning. He cast another merry smile up to me as l descended the steps-the Kings son with the power of life and death over fifty slaves.

That extra session would have provided Tor regis tration just as the new Constltutioh does, and there is no probability that the plan of registration devised by the Leg islature would have been wiser or ta1rer than that devised by the new Constltn, tion. In either case registration Wou,u have to be made by men of somebody appointment. It has been sald by one of our most distinguished men that:
 Tn nearly all the States the right 10 vote at elections is made to depend upon appointed according to law. This pre- caution is really vital to the sovereign power of self government.
 Fraudulent registration under the new Constitution. by registrars, is prohibited. under a penalty of from one to five years in the penitentiary. The list Is requlrec to be filed in the office of the Judge ot Probate of each county. by the first day of February. 1905 or as soon thereafter as practicable, and in the office Of Sec reary of State by the first day of March, 19o3 or as soon thereafter as pracucapIc and the Legislature is required to pre- vide for purging the list of all who may have beer fraudulentlY reg; tered ur who die or become insane nder these safe guards every right of the voter IS fully protected.
 The poll tax is required to be paid only by those who are now liable to pay 1t under the existing statutes. In fact uI.- der the old Constitution. poll taxes could be required of every citizen. no matter how old Under the new, it cannot oe required of those oyer f"rtN-iiVa lears of age. unless the Legislature should See fit to extend it, in which case it could not be extended to those over sixty Years of age. Moreover under the old ConsJi- tuition there are no exemptions from poll taxes provided for. but under the pres ent Constitution all persons are eXempt- ed from poll tax who are permanently disabled. and whose taxable property dnes not cXcced &5O0.00.

"All the Comforts of a Home" "

century.
 An insidious little circular has of late been calling the attention of New forkers to certain downtown parlors where a man may keep evening clothes, extra top coats. and other changes of apparel avoiding in this way the annoyance of going home to dress. As the colliers of KillinEswurth, who witnessed the first Journeys of Stepherson's "traveling en- zine" did not, in all probability. appre- ciate the importarce of the experiment going on under their eyes nor foresee the revolution the little machine was des- tined to work in the habits of mankind so the recipient of this circular doubtless fails to grasp its real purport or the possibilities that lie dormant In that in- noyation, The plan is only germ as vet, but what changes will ensue when ou rwomen have seized upon and elaoo- rated the scheme?
 With a wardrobe judiciously distrlout- ed in different parts of the city and US suburbs, a demoiselle will be able 10 go through the successive transformations re- ouired by her days amusement, Jump from riding habit to golf skirt, 1nto luncheon, reception. and ball dress, with out the tiresome necessity of re-entering the family circle Think what saving of nerves and cab fare will result! TWO of New Yorks largest department stores already provide bathrooms where cus- toners can take dips between tussle at the bargain counter and quick lunch. The phrase. All the comforts of home will soon be as obsolete as the place itself, and returning there except to sleep will be eliminated from the list cf a 1 damsels duties.

Sir Henry Irving and the Cab.

SdSbell MdSdIlIIS'
 Going home from the Lyceum in a four wheeler is a perfectly comfortable process unless, adds the well-known actor. the bottom drops out almost as suddenly as if it were a gold mine. That accident by the way. did happen to a friend of mine whose professional busi- ness compelled him to make a quick change dress in the cab; as it was a light summer evening, the passersby were astonishcd to see a pair of white legs running under the vehicle and not tbpa- rently connected with the horse.' Inci- dentally, it may be mentioned that the worthy knight has no special cabby on his nightly transit from theatre to fire side-the first man within call gets the job and it may be. ticket for the pit on some future occasion. One of these occasional cabbies to whom a pass had been given was asked,by Sir Henry how he liked the play. The man hesitaed and then, choosing what seemed to be the most grateful words to express his pleasure. answered: Well Sir. l didn't go."
 You didn't go! Why not?"
 Well, Sir. you see. there's the missus, and she preferred the wax works.

Many-legged .Crawlers,

St. NlcnoiaS.
 If you turn over some of the stones quickly you sometimes find nothing at all; often an ants nest, occasionally a colony of snails, or sometimes tiny snake coiled in a ball like marble.
 Once in a while you find glossy red brown creature about an inch long. This little fellow seems to be mostly legs, and he scampers and wriggles away so quickly that 1t is almost impossible to seize him before he disappears down some minute hole He is often called an ear wig, but incorrectly; he Is really centi- pede, which, as young students of Latin already know, means hundred legs" But this little fellow is only a second cousin of the footlong centipede of hot countries. whose bite Is as painful and dangerous as that of 6 scorpion. This little cenu- pede. however. Oithobius, the naturalists call him) is perfectly safe to handle, for though formidable enough to the creat- ures of his own size. he cannot bite through the human skin. You see how quick he Is. and can imagine how fierce and terrible he must seem to the slug gish worms and insect larvae on which he feeds. In spite of his name he doesn't really have a hundred legs. but only if teen pairs jointed like an insects; and, like all centipedes, he has only one pair to each segment, as the parts or the body between the points are called. Be- sides his thirty legs he has pair ot big poison claws, which he carries folded forward, one on each side of his head. His prey he kills with these claws, their wound being instantly fatal to small animals.
 Very unlike the fierce and active centi- pede Is another creature about as long but with a slender, round, dark body and very short legs. Some young folks call this a worm but he is not worm tt all but a millipede, or thousand legs, and is called Julus by naturalists. Actually he does not have 8 thousand legs, but only about hundred; and, unlike the centipedes, he has two pairs of legs CT every segment except the first three Unlike the centipedes. too. he nas nc poison claws and is not venomous; lie is a timid. gentle creature that crawls about slowly, In spite of his numerous legs.

 Like causes produce like effects, and no white man now entitled to vote, and TO V hite child in the future has any cause for apprehension With reference to his vote.
 The opponents of the new Constitution charge thar boys coming on in the fu- ture must be able to read and write and property. Attention is called to the fact that this is not true. If he Is able to lead and write or if he pays taxes on this amount of property, he can vote. 1t is only necessary to have one of these qualifications.
 It is charged that registrars have a discretion as to who they will register. This is not true. They must register ev- cry man possessing either of the quail f1cations named. Every State in the Union including this State. has sys- no mora power under the new Constitu- ton than under the present law. and we have never heard of any person. enti tied to registration under The present law. being denied 1t. Indeed, the right of the voter is better protected under the new Constitution, if additional pro- tection were need" q, than under the ex- istine law. since provision is made for an appeal from the action of the reg istrar without bond to a Jury, in case a person applying for registration is re- fused. No right of appeal exists under the present law, nor mas one been found necessary. but it is given as an addi- tional precaution in the new Constitu- ton. e-.
 The registration feature of the new Constitution is in force only next year. All subsequent registrations must he provided for by the Legislature. The sole purpose for providing for the tenn porary registration next year in the Con stitution was to save the necessity of an extra session of the Legislature.
