Tobacco in the Antarctic.

This is a continuation of the deScrip-
ton OF life in the Antarctic derived from
the personal experiences, as commune
Gated to our correspondent, of blue
jackets who left the Discovery last
March and sailed to New Zealand on the
relief ship Morning: The entire ships
company INDUCED in plenty of sleep. AT
the conclusion of the evening meal there
was not much inducement to remain out
of ones bunk. The majority, however,
tarried awhile over their tot" of rum,
telling yarns and smoking. There were
two mandolins in the forecastle, and
there were frequent calls on those who
could play an accompaniment TO song.
Each man was entitled to a pound of
tobacco every month and the heavy
smokers had no difficulty in obtaining
additional supplies. For them the Ant
arctic precented a singular phenome-
non. They found themselves practically
unable to smoke in the open. In that
pure air, it seems. tobacco does not
smell at all like tobacco, even to the
man who is smoking it. 1t smells like
burning rags" so that at first the
smoker suspects that his clothing is on
fire: and the sensations on the palate
are described as highly disagreeable.
However, the pipe had all its accus-
toned qualities when INDUCED in below
deck. and even a few draws were APP
preciated at night in the tent on a
sledge journey.-London Daily News
