and engine room being placed right
aft, while the whole lower hold is util-
lied as a coal bunker. Captain Scott
commands the English expedition and
DIR. Won Drygalski the German.
1t is expected that the commanders
of the two expeditions will work to-
gether and follow a system suggested
by Sir Clements Markham, president of
the Royal Geogra phical Society, which
divides the region into four quadrants,
two on the Australasian side and two
on the Cape Horn and Cape of Good
Hope side. The first quadrant, from 80
degrees east to $50 degrees, he names
Victoria; the second, from $50 degrees
to 80 degrees west, in which the only
known land is Peter Island, is called
the Ross Quadrant; the third, from 80
degrees west to the meridian of Green
witch, is Weddell, and the fourth, ex-
tending from the Greenwich meridian
to 80 degrees east, about which the
least is Known, is called the Enderby
Quadrant. The English expedition
will confine its operations to the Vic
toria and Ross Quadrants, the Ger
mans taking Wedde1 and Enderby.
The great unknown region comprised
in these four quadrants covers millions
of square miles, extending over prac-
tically thirty degrees of latitude. 1t
is continually modifying the atmos-
phere of the whole southern hemi-
sphere, and yet we know almost moth
ing about its meteorology. 1t is one
of the most interesting volcanic re-
gions on the face of the globe; recent
volcanic rocks are present everywhere
and active volcanoes are quite numer-
Gus, and we are entirely ignorant of
its geology. 1t is one of the two great
world centers of magnetic phenomena,
and yet we know scarcely anything
regarding the magnetic conditions
which prevail, not even with any GER
tainty where the southern magnetic
pole is located. 1t is by all odds the
grandest field for ice study now exist
emit, and yet no one has studied the ice
there. The mysterious ice barrier ris-
ing out of $50 fathoms of water and
stretching its perpendicular face for
hundreds of miles through the frozen
seas like gigantic wall-perhaps the
sea face of the greatest glacier in the
world; perhaps the edge of an enor-
nous island of ice anchored over the
pole; perhaps, indeed, something still
more remarkable than either of these
ural curiosities in the world
The region has a fauna and flora of
its own apparently very similar to that
of the Arctic world. The few fossils
which have been picked up indicate
that there was a time when it was
crowded with plants and animals The
life of the Antarctic seas is very varied
and numerous The tropical oceans
which now separate the two poles
seem to present an effectual barrier
to any communication, and it is a mat
ter of much interest to discover what
the Arctic and Antarctic identity of
life forms is due to- Various specula-
lions have been put forward; one of
these is that deep. cold currents ira

A Ready Definition.

Prof Lawson of the university of
California, is not only an eminent
geologist, but a man of ready wit The
students often attempt to play pranks
on him, but usually with little Success.
Not long ago one of them slipped into
the tray of minerals which the profess
sor intended to use in his lecture a
piece of ordinary red brick. The word
passed around and great fun was an
ticipated over his attempt to classify
the substance. He did not notice il
when he commenced his lecture
This" he said, picking out a small
stone, lis a piece of granite and he
proceeded with a learned talk on its
characteristics. This is a piece OF
agate" he informed them on picking
up the next fragment He got hold OF
the brick next, looked at it for a few
seconds, and said calmly: This is 9
piece of impudence.''-San Francisco

HEALTH AND BEAUTY,

A poor complexion is usually the result
of a torpid liver or irregular action OF the
bowels Unless nature refuse is carried
off it will surely cause impure blood PIN
pies, boils and other eruptions follow.
This is natures method of throwing off
the posons which the bowels failed to
remove. DeWitt's Little Early Risers are
world famous for remedying this condition
They stimulate the liver and promote reg
ular and healthy action of the bowels but
