NEARED SOUTH POLE
SUCCESS OF THE BRITISH ExPLoR-

How Captain Scott Has Added to
Knowledge of the Antarctic Con-
tinent-South Pole Land Was Once
Part of Australia.
Scientific and geographical circles are
deeply interested in the information
brought from the antarctics by the re-
lief steamer Morning, which recently
arrived at New Zealand after sue
ceSSful search for the British antarctic
exploring expedition, which sailed from
Australia in the fall of 1901 in the ship
Discovery, under command of Captain
T. f. Scott of the British navy.
The relief party found the Discovery
on Jan. % in MacMurdo bay, Victoria
Land. The expedition wintcred 400
miles farther south than any vessel
had previously done, and Captain Scott,
with DR.. Wilson and Lieutenant Shac-
kleton. penetrated 100 miles still far
ther south, reaching latitude S211.
which establishes a record, being four
degrees higher than has heretofore
been accomplished.

raphcrs and scientists was obtained.
From the fact that Captain Scott i'll
the high southern latitude that he at
tanned saw the range Of mountains
which begins in Victoria Land still
trendinE south it is evident that the
most important discovery in antarctic
geography has been made.
Scientists judge from the topography
OF the land which the Captain Scott
expedition visited that this range Of
mountains and high plateau probably
extends over or near the south pole
and then almost due north to what is
known as Graham Land. The noun
tainS and the plateau connected with
them discharge enormous glaciers into
the Pacific, which makes up the great
ice barrier noted by all explorers and
which prevents vessels either touching
or seeing the mainland from the Mount
Ercbus and Terror region all the way
to Graham Land.
If this line of antarctica is approx
mately correct. it is probable that from
the other side Of Graham Land, south
Of the Atlantic, the antarctic continent
curves inward and then strikes over
toward the northeast until it joins En-

ACCORDING TO the latest ulScoVerleSJ
derby Land and Kemp Land, and final
ly Wilkes Land, which in turn connects
with Victoria Land.
The Discovery expedition has deter
mined that the great ice barrier in the
south is II gigantic glacier, and behind
IT is high mountainous country that
probably extends 10 the pole.
The fact is that there is quite likely
great south continent, with huge
mountains running through it, covered
with masses of ice. 1t is probable, as
has been held by antarctic explorers,
that this land is n continuation of Aus
tralia and New Zealand, from which it
has been separated in the distant past,
because there is Il similarity between
the animal and plant life there and in
the islands at the south of the eastern
continent. Evidently it was oEce all
one land.
Captain X. +. Scott. who commands
the expedition and who will remain
another year in the antarctic regions to
continue the work which has already
been so fruitful of results, is but little
over thirty and looks still younger. He
is about ) feet 6 inches in height, with
blue eyes and brown hair. He Is not
the typical Englishman. the cast of his
countcnance and the squarcness Of his
jaws being more suggestive of the
American.
The ship Discovery was built at Dun
dee expressly for the expedition and is
of exceptional strength. The eXpedi-
ton has been very lucky, having lost
but one man. The Morning brought
back some Of the Discovery party, but
Captain Scott still has fOrty-one men
with him. The expedition will return
next year.

ARMY OF RODENTS.
County in Michigan Said to Have
 Been Invaded by Five Thousand.


 Been Invaded by Five Thousand.
 From Calhoun county, Michigan, there comes to the Smithsonian insti- tuition a sensational story of the in- Vas1on of that county by an army of i've thousand rats in one pack. A big gray rat is said to be leading the vast array of rodents. Michigan papers de- vote considerable space to the peculiar occurrence and some Battle Creek cit 1zers, who have become interested in the migration. have written to the Smithsonian institution for an explan- at1on, if possible. The story of the rat raid, as told in Michigan papers. is that about twelve days ago about a hundred large rats were crossing a highway three miles east of Tekansha village. Calhoun county. They are said to have been under the leadership of a large gray rat of venerable and digni- fled aspect and this leader seemed to have some definite object in view, for he marshalled his forces in most au- thoritative manner. A few days after ward farmer in Clarendon township in the same county, was aroused about 3 o'clock in the morning by squeal- ing noise of great magnitude such as might be made by score of filters of young pigs. As the sound continued to grow in volume, the farmer arose, hastily put on his clothes and went out. doors. The air seemed filled with the strange sounds, and the man climbed his windmill to see a dark wave rolling across a field toward his barn, it is said, and, as it approached nearer, he could see it was composed of hundreds of rats, squealing loudly as they ran. Into the barnyard they came, halting in front of the barn. Then large gray rat seemed to se- lect about twenty husky rats from the bunch and led them into the build ing. When they emerged ten minutes later they were accompanied by about one hundred of the Clarendon mans rats. They took their places in the ranks and the procession moved on again across the fields. When last seen. the horde is said to have been crossing the highway east of the vil- lage of Tekonsha. It is cI1imed a traveller had to wait nearly five min- utes for them to cross the road, and he estimated their number to be not less than five thousand. They were still under the leadership of big gray fellow, who appeared to be walking delegate in the most extensive strike in the history of Rodentom.-Wash~ ingtOn Star

WAYNE MACvEAGH SATISFIED.
CHAMBERLAIN's CRITICS.
Diagnosis of Status of Trade Hangs
 on a Statistical Blunder.

London, Oct 7.-While there is no evidence of a rush on the part of the experts of public opinion or of the electorate to give Joseph Chamber lain's fiscal proposals immediate en- dorsement, there is ample proof of a desire to exhaustively examine his pro- gram and accept Or reject it on its merits, rather than on party lines. 1t is realized that the attitude of the col ,onies is probably the most important factor in his scheme and what they will say to his statement that they are prepared to contribute towards inn perial preferential trade will largely determine the ultimate decision of this country. The critics of the former sec retary for the colonies claim that his whole diagnosis of the present state of the trade of the United Kingdom hangs on a statistical blunder in the compari- son of the exports of 1902 with those Of 1897. The latter year was notori- ouslySphe enomena1 as an export year because of the requirements of Ger many and France after the war be- tween those two countries, and it is pointed out that Great Britain fur nished the great bulk of these, and that her exports consequently bounded up from S1,115, 100000 in 1871 to S1,- 2sO,0OO,00O in 1872 after which they gradually receded to the same total as in 1871. It is therefore contended by the critics that the whole fabric of Mir Chamberlain's argument is based on an elementary error and that while his fiscal arithmetic is Illogical, his premises are hypothetical and un-a proved. It is anticipated that the col onies will resent MT Chamberlain's suggestion that their colonial manu- facturing growth should be thwarted for the benefit of British manufactur- CTS. On the whole, the former col onial secretary's pronouncement is not unfavorably received. On the stock exchange the various departments opened with a better all round tone. Consois hardened.
 The Evening Standard, a staunch government organ, commenting on MT Chamberlain's speech, says:
 Altogether his speech strengthens the conclusion that the movement has been premature and that the facts which are held to justify it have been collected and only half assimilated."
