0N an exhaustive article in the Clio
bus, well-known German periodical
. devoted to geography, DIR. Rudolph
Andree sums up the achievements of the
country in regard to geography, and while
he claims that the nineteenth century
may well be termed the century Of dis
coveres, he comes to the conclusion that
it will still be the work Of many years
before the surface of the earth is known.
The unknown parts of the globe are illus
trated in a series Of charts in which the
terra incognita" is represented in black.
Concerning the regions around the
north pole about which nothing is known,
the tasks of future explorations may be
briefly indicated as follows: In the Ash
attic European Polar Sea, from Wrangel
Land in the east to north of Spitzbegen
in the west the unknown Is bounded by
the drifts Of the Jeanette in 1881 and Of
the Fran in 1S94-1S96. In north Green
land geographical knowledge does not ex-
tend, generally speaking, beyond Lock
woods farthest point in 1882. Cape
Washington, and Peary's searches in the
vicinity of Independence Bay, 1892, but
beside these that part of the eastern
coast from Cape Bismarck (Rayer, 1S70,)
to Independence Bay, with the ocean in
front of it, is unknown. Nearly determin-
ed is the extent OF Grinnell Land toward
the west, while OF the extent OF the Elles-
mere Land south of it and about the
ocean north of Parry archipelago abso-
lutely nothing is known. Large parts of
the coast of Batiin's Land also need ex-
ploration. In this respect the next few
years are likely to add materially to the
geographical knowledge Of the north
polar region, for not less than four expe-
ditions on large scale are nearly ready
to start.

Search for South Pole.

The south polar region, where the most
extensive unknown territory is located,
will also be attacked next year all along
the line. Most OF the land in this region
is fixed by supposition upon the maps.
Actual knowledge Of land around the
south pole reaches only at six points be-
yond 20 degrees latitude; at ITO degrees
east longitude, where James Ross in 1910
discovered Victoria Land and its volca-

SNAKES BY THE POUND.
The Origin of the Industry in an Orego

Tho Origin of the Industry in an Oregon
Town.
"I'll take two pounds of snake,
please"
That is what one may hear at GER
tain stores in klamath Falls, Or,
where there is quite an extensive in
dustry in snakes. Children gather
their aprons full of snakes as they
would of wild flowers. and little boys
gather them in their pockets for pets.
The snake industry of klamath Falls
came about in this fashion:
Postmaster Castil some time ago re-
ceived a letter from a concern in
Minnesota asking the price of reptiles
and inquiring if they could be shipped
to Minnesota Thinking it joke the
postmaster replied that he would fur
nish all the snakes desired at % cents
a pound. Imagine his surprise when,
by return mail, an order was received
for 400 pounds of snakes. The Mime
sofa firm then informed him that next
season they would place an order for
500 pounds.
That set the people of klamath Falls
to thinking, and the present snake in
dustry of the town Is the result of
their cogitations. The species of wa
ter snake SO plentiful at KlamGth Falls
is of dark color and when full grown
about three feet long.
So great is the supply that tons of
the reptiles could be shipped annually
If there were orders for them. The
snakes are used for medicinal pur-
poses, as superior quality of oil can
be manufactured from the variety
found at klamath Falls.-Denver

Her Eggs Wore All "LYhites.U -

AT a little family picnic over in New
Jersey few days ago the hostess
noticed that the one guest, a city bred
woman, who was spending a few days
on the old farm, instead of eating the
whole of the hard-b boiled eggs, care
fully separated tie yolk from the
whites. She ate the whites with a lib
eral addition of pepper and salt, but
the golden globes remaining she fed to
the children or the terriers who ac-
companied the party. Asked about it,
the company replied that she was en-
joying her meal very much.
But 90 you know, dear" she con-
tinued, 81 never could bear the yoll1
of eggs, and | could just live on the
whites. | wish I could get eggs that
were all whites"
The next morning at breakfast the
company found three hard boiled eggs
at her plate. Wter she sliced them
through, they were just what she
wanted, for they were all white and
hard, and there vas Lot even the faint
est trace of yellow in one of them. She
was very much surprised, but was in
formed that it was just little matter
of feeding the hens. 1t was not, though,
for the hostess had carefully selected
the eggs for her friend and then
"blown" the shells through needle
pricks in both ends. Then she had
cracked more eggs, carefully separat-
ing the raw whites from the yolks, and
by a simple reversal Of the blowing
process obtained eggs filled only with
white. The ho'cs were so minute that
no one would ever notice them when
the egss we're brought 10 the table,

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

so-called honest poverty is often
honest laziness.
Assininity and affinity are words
badly misplaced.
A little pride is desirable, but arro-
gance is hateful.
To be light-hearted is often another
manner of being light-headed.
There never was a truly wise per-
son gloomy. Philosophy tends to
cheerfulness.
The beauty who will permit age to
fall PROSTATE at her feet has a flaw
upon her soul.
Vanity is often the source of feats
of heroism which may be proven by a
keen observer.
Verbosity is the hall mark of i'll
1teracy; yet to be taciturn is no proof
of great wisdom.
Children are chided for faults pos
sessed and displayed by both parents,
and SO embittered.
The truly cultured are never slow
TO express admiration; the vulgar only
are afraid to be natural.
The woman who declares she hates
fattery is the one who repeats every
morsel of it vouchsafed her
"If' and "but" are tiny words. but
they can change the color of the sky
and make the world seem a wilder
ness.
'Tis the petty worries, not great
SORROWS or joys, that criss-cross the
face. JOY shows in the eyes. Sorrow
whitens the head.-Philadelp Rec

Daring Effects in Furnishing,

"In my country cottage" said
woman to New York Evening Post
writer, Il try all sorts of daring effects
in furnishings. Those that are pleas
ing after use I often transplant with
success to my city home. For ex-
ample, two or three summers ago we
rented cottage in which the dining
room was dull and dark. | got a pot
of white paint together with the own
er's consent, and painted the wood
work, the chairs and table white, with
the effect that the room became per-
ceptibly brighter If l could have
changed the wall 1t would have been
lighter still. My city dining room had
long distressed me because of it's
want of light, and that autumn I
boldly transformed it. The walls
had papered in a striped white paper,
painted the woodwork white, and put
a white linoleum on the floor. The
furniture was too hadnsome to tam
per with, for it is mahogany, in a
simple colonial design, but the white
background efficiently did the work Of
Frightening the room to the most de-
lightfully cheerful point"

How great are the possibilities Of
Hawaii as fruit and vegetable grow
ing country will be understood when
it becomes known that four crops
of potatoes have been produced in sue
cession on the same piece of land
within 12 months. Radishes become
edible 10 days after sowing. Straw
berries are of the finest flavor.
Cabbage grows all the year and it
apparently makes no difference wheth-
er it is planted in the spring, summer,
autumn or winter Parsley once
sown grows forever, apparently Lima
beans continue to grow and bear for
over year, and they have to be
gathered every week after starting to
bear. Cucumbers bear the entire year
and so do tomatoes, which, with
proper attention, bear for years
Raspberries bear for six months.
Pineapples come into bearing when
the plants are four months old and
bear in abundance for years. Lettuce
can be planted at any time and it de-
velops quickly. The same is true OF
celery.--Fruit Trade and Produce Rec

The Carving of AfrIcn.

The partition of Africa, which has
been in progress for 20 years, more
or less, and in which most of the
more important European powers
have engaged, is not yet complete,
but it has gone far enough to give in
terest to a brief summary of the re-
suits to date.
Including the great island Of Mad
agascar, the continent Of Africa has
an area of eleven and half million
square miles. OF this great total about
one and one-half million square miles
is comprised within separate states
which have not been definitely dealt
with. The largest of these, the Con.
go Free State, with an area of 900,.
900 square miles. sustains relations
to Belgium which make it's formal
annexation only a question of time
The next largest state, Abyssinia, is
the hardest nut of all to crack, as
Italy can testify, and it is likely that
1t will be let alone, or perhaps coaxed
into a treaty of amity with Russia
