isphere win be known as Antarc1ca.
Modern geographers have been slow
to adopt the conception of great con-
tinent in south polar waters. They
knew it had been proved that ex-
tensive masses Of land existed within
the Antarctic circle; but the question
whether this land takes the form of a
vast continent or of an archipelago
of islands smothered under an over
load of frozen snow they have regard
ed as a fascinating problem for ex-
plorers to solve.
But the evidence that the continent
exists has been accommodating ever
since the Challenger went on its ia
nous voyage and penetrated the Ant
arctic to study the sea noor there.
In all of its journeys over the tropical
and sub-tropical Pacific the Challenger
found no fragments OF continental
rocks. It's dredges brought up only
pumice or other fragments of volcanic
rocks such as compose the larger
mass OF the oceanic islands.
= AS soon as the Challenger pushed
among the icebergs of the Antarctic,
however, it began to dredge from the
bottom of the sea rounded fragments
of granite and quartz. AS it went
southwark these bits OF continental
rocks continued to increase in num-
Der until, at the most southerly
points reached. the rocks, mineral
particles and muddy matter derived
from continental land made up by far
the larger part of the debris that was
found scattered over the sea floor.
The evidence showed that this mate
rial had been torn away from the
southern land mass and had been car
ried out to sea by icebergs that had
been launched on the coasts.
All the expeditions which have
since visited Antarctic lands have
brought home specimens of many
rocks that are characteristic of con-
tinental lands and not of oceanic ISL
lands. They have also found fossil
shells, wood and other fora like those
of fossil remains found in other con-
tinents, indicating a warmer climate
in the Antarctic regions during some
earlier geological ages. Air move
ments and other phenomena also have

ham land are large, but they have not
discovered their limits, though they
have traced the coast lines far to the
south.
It Is too early yet to attempt to
describe or discuss the scientific work
of these expeditions. but some of the
facts bearing on the question of the
southern continent may be mentioned.
The British traced the coast of Vic
toria land over 800 miles south of the
point where previous exploration had
stopped. The coast was still trend
ing south as far as they could see
from the lofty mountains where they
took their last look from the most
southern point they had reached. They
established the existence of coast
line OF unknown length. but extending
as far as it had been seen about 1000
miles.
They also penetrated into this land
mass a distance of LAP statute miles
from the sea and found themselves
on top of an ice cap that completely
covered the land and was apparently
as thick as that which covers Green.
land. They were 5000 feet above the
sea on this ice cap when they turned
back. having found no indication that
the land might not still extend for
hundreds. OF miles before the oppo-
site coasts were reached.
But the British have established an
other most important and significant
fact. AS Prof. Penck says, Capt.
Scott, the leader of the British expedi-
ton, has proved that the Great Ice
Barrier, discovered by Ross about six
ty years ago, is not the wall of an
extensive area of thick pack or sea
ice. as Ross supposed it to be, but it
is the edge of probably the largest
glacier in the world. In other words,
it is the frontage of land ice, a part of
the icecap Of Antarctica, with width
here of at least 700 miles. 1t is hun
dreds of feet in height, and reaches
the sea by a great plain between the

mountains of Victoria Land and Ed
ward VII Land. The front of the
mighty fcecap is pushed on the land
into the sea.
No theory appears to be tenab1e ex-
cept that the mandatory of this
colossal icecap must be land surface
of continental extent.
In extending the known coast Of
Graham Land further to the south the
Swedish expedition also discovered
great ice plains that had been pushed
on the land into the sea and termin-
ated in lofty and precipitous ice walls
resembling the Ross's famous ice bar
rier of Victoria Land; and like this
barrier it is a true glacier edge and
extends for scores of miles along the
coasts.
Some day this southern land viii be
better known. From all that has been
seen of it there is little prospect that
it will be found to be of any economic
importance. But it is quite certain
that the ardor for exploration will not
subside as long as there remains a
land of continental proportions whose
extent and shape have not been ac-
curately defned.-Cyrus c. Adams, in
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Niaht Caps in Virginia.

Senator Daniel, of Virginia. tells of
a man from Richmond who was visit
ing a country cousin. The latter got
sleepy at nine o'clock and vainly tried
to keep awake. In desperation, he
opened a bottle, saying, Cousin Jim,
let's have a night-cap."
Cousin Jim's face frightened, and
the night-cap disappeared; but he con-
tinued talking. until his courteous
country cousin finally said, Cousin
Jim, you must excuse me. But I'm
accustomed to going to bed at nine
o'clock. In fact, to be frank with you.
1 s'posed you'd take the hint and go to
bed on the night-cap."

other string to that night-cap and III
go to sleep. Every night-cap has two
strings. Record-Herald.

Reds Banquet Blues.

The long-looked-for and much
talked-about banquet between the
Red and the Blues at the Y. M. G.
A. was given at the association
building last Monday evening. Mr..
Weinke, who was an ardent Blue
and strong factor in winning the
yacht race for that side, leaves this
week for the east and the banquet
was given at this time in honor of
his depal ture.
The gymnasium was cleared of
apparatus and tables placed about
the room, games provided, pit and
finch being the principle attrac-
tions. A general good time was
participated in until $50, when
the Reds donned their aprons and
proceeded to pay their debt by fur
nishing rOyal feast. At the close
of supper Mr.. Reese Hattabaugll
delivered a fine tribute to Mr..
Weinke, who responded fittingly.
The Reds were SO successful in
their entertainment that the Blues
say they will give them an.opportu
nifty to do so again.

Basket Ball at Y. M. C. A.

The business men met the men,
bers of the ladies' gymnasium class
in a contest at basket ball last Fri
day night. Great interest was
manifested and long before the
game was called the price of seats
scared heavenward. The general
admission was only twenty five
cents but when it became evident
there was not going to be room
enough for all spectators as high
as Sl.5O a seat was offered. No
price could buy them however, as
tickets were issued to the full ca
pacity Of the gallery and the lucky
possessors OF tickets were sure of
their seats. The sale of seats net.

the ladies and will be used by them
to purchase some much needed
supplies for their class and a set of
books on physical culture for la
dies will be placed in the library.
The game was called at 500
O'Clock neither side knowing the
line up of the other until the battle
line was drawn up. The ladies
drew long deep breaths as they
glanced up at their opponents and
said: 'It isn't fair" for Mr.. Har-
ris, the captain of the business men,
was supported by team of six, foot
ers, some of them little less than
seven. Undaunted by the over
whelming superiority of their mas
culine foes, the ladies plunged into
the game determined to make the
men earn their laurels. In spite OF
the fact that the ball was kept al
most entirely above their heads
they scored 10 points and showed a
very clever understanding of the
game. The men scored 46 points
Unwilling to see the business
men get all the glory. Mr.. Glenn
Hanna, captain of the Young men S
gymnasium team, challenged the
business men to game of 10 min
ute halves, allowing them double
score for every point made. This
was Immediately accepted by Mr..
Harris and the gallery went wild
with excitement at the prospect of
so lively scrap. The young men
soon donned their suits and appear
ed ready for the fray and for TWEEN
ty minutes it was hard to tell
which was men and which was bas-
ket ball as both appeared as dark
streak as they whizzed about the
gym. Both sides played hard and
the boys said no wonder the ladies
were defeated, when Mr.. Weinke
- announced the score as 20 to 10 in
favor of the business men. The
business men played an exception
ally fine game for the amount ol
practice and feel highly elated a,

say the end is not yet but that they
are going to beat the business men
if it takes all summer.

Flour to Frisco

The value OF Camas Prairie flour
can be better appreciated when it is
known that for years past there
has been an active demand for our
product on the outside, much of it
being sent as far as San Francisco,
and many large orders refused be-
cause of the absence of better trans
portation facilities. Mr.. Jacob
Schwalbach annually ships be-
tween one and two thousand bar
rels to San Francisco and if there
was railroad line his mill could
be. kept running day and night

mill and the quality Of his flour
will stand the test in any place.
