Now, sausages once or twice week
for breakfast are not unpleasant. As
lunch, even with mashed potatoes. they
become monotonous. A dinner they are
impertinent. At the end OF three days
Dick loathed sausagee. and, going forth,
pawned his watch TO revel on sleeps head
which Is not as cheap as II looks, owing
to the bones and the gravy.
Then he returned To sausages and mashed
potatoes. Then he confined himself en-.
iirely 70 mashed potatoes for a day, and
was unhappy because OF pain In his inside
Then he pawned his waistcoat and his tie,
ard thought regretfully OF money thrown
away In times past.
There are few things more edifyinR
unto art than the actual belly-pinch OF
hunger, and Dick, in his few walks abroad
he did not care for exercise II raised desires
that could not be satisfed-found himself
dividing mankind into two classes-those
who looked az IL they might give him some
thing TO eat. and those who looked other-
wise.
i never knew what had TO learn about
the human face he thought; and, "a 2
reward for his humility, Providence caused
a cab driver at q sausage shop where DICK
fed that night to leave half eaten q great
chunk OF bread. Dick took it-would have
fought all the world for It's possession--
and II cheered him.

to be expected that the next few years viii
largely increase our knowledge OF the
Antarctic and lead to some extremely
interest ing discoveries.
The French have never been very promi-
nent in polar research. At least half .
century has elapsed since they have at
tempted to share the tolls and honors OF
Arctic explorers; and the only expedition
they ever sent to the Antarctic region was
that OF Dumont d'Urville, despatched by
the French Government in 1887
D'Urville was an excellent navigator
and photographer, but he had no special
aptitude for polar work and openly ex-
pressed his dislike for it. He made some
interesting discoveries in the regions south
OF the Atlantic and contributed consider
ably to extend scientific knowledge OF the
Antartic regions, though neither OF his
vessels was well adapted for Ice navgs-
ton, and the sad mortality among his
crew proved that they were In no way
equal TO the hardships Of polar voyages.
D'urviIle was one OF the frst TO strengthen
the bows OF his vessels against the ice.
He fastened over them plates made OF a
sort Of brass, but the armor proved to b
wholly ineffective and came on at the nrss
. 'rious encounter with the ice.

A direct negative to this theory is given
by q professor OF an Australian university
who narrowly escaped dying Of starvation
during an expedition into the desert country
Il am sure, he said, that I felt the pangs
of hunger much less keenly than my black
crackers and servants did. / had heard
they could 60 Tor long periods without food.
but the second day We put ourselves on
and appeared to be in extreme pain.
AT that time / suffered nothing, nor
did I suffer until some days afterward.
Indeed, although two OF three Of my men
were almost dead from lack OF food, by
the time we reached the nearest settlement
l really suffered very little.
The only unpleasant sensations can
recall were occasional bad headaches. slight
pains In the stomach, and now and then
q feeling Of faintness. At other times I

Possibly the fact that had something
to occupy my mind saved me from suffering

had nothing to do but TO think Of food.
I believe that was why they suffered no

Rudyard Kipling has eIperisnced that
form Of starvation which Is most common
In great centres Of populstion-living for
weeks and months at time on an insufficient
