SCURVY PREVENTIVE.
Discovery Made That Seal Meat Will
Give Immunity from Disease.
Men Engaged in British National
Antarctic Expedition Find That
Dread scOurge May lie
Avoided

Private letters from the officers and
crew of the steamship Discovery,
bring interesting accounts OF the
work accomplished by the British
National Antarctic expedition under
Capt. Scott. DR.. Koettlitz brings out
the important fact that the eating OF
seal meat is a preventive OF scurvy.
He says:
"Scurvy showed itself last spring,
but we have, by making more use OF
seal meat as food, got rid Of It, Scott,
among others, was affected after the
long journey to the southwark, but
he rapidly threw it Off. The supply
Of seal meat here is practically I'M
limited and can be obtained with
comparative ease. Therefore those
that keep their appetite for 1t are
safe"
Capt. Scott, r. N, the commander
of the Discovery, writes:
"We are in considerable anxiety
over our prospects of getting out this
season. We found one years Ice here
last season. 1t broke away, and
spot remained open for at least six
weeks. 1t is now long past that date,
and little ice has gone out. The sea-
son Is evidently very bad, and there
fore we are getting all the stores we
can from the relief ship Morning,
hoping to send her back to New Lea-
land in week or two. All remain
as well as possible. 1t would be diff
cult to imagine a happier or more
comfortable community considering
how closely we have been thrown to-
gcther."
As nothing has been heard Of the
Discovery since May, 1t is taken for
granted that she has been shut up
for another season. One of the scien-
tific stat summarizes the work up to
date as follows:
First, the discovery OF extensive
land at the east extremity OF the
great ice barrier; secondly, that Nc
Murdo bay is not bay but n strait,
and that Mounts Erebus and Terror
form part of comparatively small
island; Thirdly, the discovery OF good
winter quarters in the high latitude
OF 77.5OS. lG6.42E., where the lowest
temperature was 90 degrees frost
Fahrenheit; fourthly, that in the ex-
tensive sledge journeys Of thousands
OF miles notably in SCOTS, when lat
itude 8.2l7S. was attained, an inn
mense tract OF new land was discov-
cred and charted as far as 63.30S.,
with peaks and ranges of mountains
as high as $4,000 feet; filthy that
great continental inland ice was
reached westward at q considerable
distance from the coast, and at an al
titude of 5000 feet, and, sixth, that
much magnetic work, soundings, deep
sea dredging, physical and biological
work was done.
Another letter from n member OF
the party says:

DUTCH IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Are Better ~ Farmers ana Poi'A-
clans Than the English, snys
an English Writer.

The Dutch are better men on the
land than the English. Mr.. Rhodes
affirmed it as strongly as benjamin
Kidd. Not only are they better men
but they are much cleverer politicians,
writes w. L. Stead in Bookloyers Mag
azine DR.. Gordon Sprigg, the pres
ent premier Of Cape Colony, told me
last year that the rough Dutch farm
ers from the back country had such
natural intuitive genius for politics
that after three weeks i'll parliament
they could give points to any British
member who had been in the house
for months.
Not only are they better men all
round on land, not only are they ADLER
politicians all round in the houses OF
parliament, but, what is far more i'm
portant, they are better breeders OF
men. The British colonist, following
the example OF the Frenchman and the
New Highlander, shrinks from the
primal task OF multiplying and increas-
ing and replenishing the earth. The
Dutch cradle is never empty. IL the
hand that rocks the cradle sways the
world, it is not less true that the race
that fills the cradle will possess the
world. Hence the destiny Of South
Africa seems tolerably certain TO be
that of federation of self-goyerning
states, preeminently Dutch, which will
or will not be sheltered by the union

Capt P. z. Pierce. I. s. A, chairman

and spread to every post in the country.
Captain Pierce had the following to
say:

The War Department has no fnten-
tion Of stopping the annual football
game or I would have been informed. I
have Just closed for our game with Har-

a soldiers game. the game for soldiers,
and the soldiers viii stick to it
when one writes that the big foot
ball game is to be pulled of, as has
been written. 1t provokes but a smile
from those who know. Why, the West
