NEW LAND ON ANTARCTIC MAPS,
COAST AND MOUNTAIN DISCOV-
ERED BY DIR. DRFGALSkE.
II Americans Had Been There They'd Have
Found Out More About II, Maybe
-wllkes's Land n NIyth-lps and Downs
OF Far Southern Weather Described.

The official report OF DR.. Won Drvgalski,
commander OF the German Antarctic Ex-
petition, has been published in the Reichs-
caxeiger. 1t clears up some points with
regard to the woSk of that important ex-
petition that had been left in doubt by the
preliminary reports. II will be remembered
that the Gauss, which carried the explorers
to their field of work. sailed directly over
the spot where Wilkes. the famous American
sailor, many years ago showed land on his
map.
Wilkes was sixty miles from the place,
but he saw what he believed to be snow
crowned mountains looming above the
horizon and called the supposed island
Termination Land, and every Antarctic
map has shown it for the past sixty years.
Dr. Won Drygalski believes that Wilkes's
mistake was due to the deceptive appear
ance of icebergs seen from afar.
II was seven days later that the German
explorers themselves discovered land At
$50 o'clock on the morning of Feb. 81, 1902,
the lookout announced that land was ahead,
The explorers tumbled out of their hunks,
to find themselves in front of a coast that
was entirely covered with heavy ice. 1t
covered the land like q blanket and came
down to the sea on all Sides
The ice appeared to cover hilly land,
rose steeply from the sea at first and then
spread over the surface to the south in
gentle fluctuations az far as the explorers
could see The coast was bordered by
long tongue of floating ice. Off to one side
was bare volcanic peak rising to a height
OF 1900 feet above the sea. Drygalski
named the newly discovered coast Kaiser
Wilhelm III. Coast and the little mountain
received the name of Gaussberg.
The explorers did not dream in their mo-
meat of exatation over their geographical
prize that their cruise into Antarctic waters
had reached its furthest point; but the very
next day they were caught in the freezing
pack ice in a great bay on the coast they
H. found. They named this indentation

Reports from all sections OF the coun-
t"y promise a brisk spring and summer

large scale, and frequent requests for
prompt shipment indicate that stocks are
low and requirements urgent. The state
ment has been made repeatedly of late
tfat traffic blockades were ended. but
as a matter Of fact, the relief was in
every case of a local nature. and almost
immediately followed by SO much new
business that congestion returned. AT
present the Western shipments are fair
" prompt, but freight is not coming East
in a satisfactory manner. Heavy distri-
button of wages makes retail trade &C
tive ana collections prompt in the anthra-
cite region, yet dealers are carrying
small stocks of merchandise as a rule.
Activity in building lines is SO great as
to occasion frequent Bad
weather retarded retail business at some
points and floods added to the disturbed
condition Of the cotton market. Rall-
way earnings continue to exceed previous
years figures, roads reporting for the
first week of March showing a gain OF
al per cent over last year and of 1873
Der cent over 1901. 1t is already almost
certain that railway construction VIII
