THE FARTHEsT SOUTH.
Great Achievement of English Ex-
plorers In R~eent Expedition
In aafHretic waters.

While explorers dwell mournfulIy
on the progressive contraction Of the
regions still marked unknown" on
the maps, word comes from New zea-
land Of fresh discoveries in the great
unmapped region Of the antarctic
word which stimulates rather than
satisfies curiosity, states Youths
Companion.
In August. 1901, he German ship
Gauss and the British ship Discovery
sailed from Europe for a long stay in
antarctic waters. According to pre-
arranged plan, the relief ship Morning
met the Discovery this year, reprovi-
stoned her, and returned to civiliza-
tion, bringing the first news Of inn
portance from either expedition.
The report Of what has already been
accomplished is story Of great
achievement and almost unbroken sue
cess. First in popular interest will
be generally regarded the announce
nent that so degrees IL minutes south
latitude was i'eached. the highest yet
touched in the antarctic Sir James
Ross succeeded in reaching rs degrees
ten minutes. and Monsieur Borch-
grevink IS degrees so minutes.
But Of greater scientific Importance
Is the evidence Of the extent Of the
great antarctic continent. discovered
BY French and American explorers in
1s4O. 1t is much larger than was once
supposed, and it contains mountains
so high that the famous peaks Of Ere
bus and Terror lose something Of their
distinction, although they are not yet
robbed Of their supremacy.
A rich collection Of marine fauna.
including many new species. skins and
skeletons Of southern seals and sea
birds, and specimens Of interesting
volcanic and other geological forma-
tions. are mentioned as some Of the
valuable fruits Of the woIk Of the Dis
covery.
The story Of great continent
crossed by mighty mountains appeals
powerfully to the imagination. One
waits now with impatience for the
final hero who shall reach the south
ern pole and give a name TO the peak
on which the earth spins. like top
on its peg.

HAVE SHORT NAMES.
Members of the Presidents Cabinet
whose PatrOnymIcs Are Spelled
with But Few Letters.

The present cabinet is made up Of
men with shorter names than any set
Of cabinet officials in many years.
Five Of the nine advisers Of the pres
ident bear names Of only one syllable
each, says the Washington Star. These
are Secretaries Hay, Root, Shaw, Post
master General Payne and Attorney
General Knox. Secretary Moody has
not long name; neither has Secre-
tary Wilson. Secretary Hitchcock
has nine letters and two syllables in
his name. Secretary Cortelyou has
nine letters and three syllables. His
is the hardest OF all the cabinet names
TO pronounce. All the others are plain.
The predecessors Of these men, how
ever, did not have long names, and If
the letters Of all the men who imme-
diately preceded them were put to-
gether, the results would be almost
the same as at present-in fact, just
one letters difference. Secretary
Hay succeeded Secretary Day, the
same number Of letters. Secretary
Root succeeded Secretary Alger, gain
Of one letter. Secretary Shaw took
the place OF Secretary Gage, the same
number Of letters. Mr. Payne came
into the cabinet when Charles Emory
Smith went out, the same humber Of
letters. Attorney General Knox took
the place Of John W, Griggs, a gain
Of TWO letters, and Secretary Moody
followed John D. Long. loss Of one
letter. The five men named have two
letters less in their names than the
five men who preceded them.
The value Of a short name in DEPART
mental work Is appreciated by heads
OF departments and their assistants.
The thousands Of documents to be
signed daily make Il laborious and
tedious work to repeat a long sigma
ture 80 often In fact. hundreds of
men have wished that they could have
attained equal fame. and Importance
under shorter nameS IL is nearly al
WAYS the case that when a new cab
inet officer takes charge he will begin
by signing his name in fun, like "Ben-
jamin r. smith," but he win not keep
this up long. and in month viii have
reached the conclusion that "B. B.
Smith" is good enough for all official
papers. In some especial document he
may sign his name ID. the full style,
but be reserves that as sort Of spe-
cial affair, like q sunday suit q fclothes.

except in Russia. the number of mill
tary suicides is decreasing; in that
country, however, the average for
some years past has been 1873 in
every 100000. In France the proper.
tion now is is in 100000; in Italy,
"a; in Germany. &c. and in Austria,
l05 20 every 100000. In civil life in
this country the Germans provide the
largest proportion of suicides; it is
curious to find them surpassed in
Europe by the Austrian and Russian
soldiers.
The different arms Of the services

der is commonest among the men of

French cavalry provides more sui
cides than does the infantry, the in
fantry and the engineers the small

In the British army the suicide
rate is about % to the 100000 at
home and 80 per 100000 in India. In
1sos-99 the rate in our regular army
was about AZ per 100000; it is lower
now. the strain Of war conditions
having lessened.

wife surprised the princess and her
husband, and abused the princess for

the castle, after which Marteni was
kicked out. Marterni followed the
princess on the next train to Milan.
