Clements Markham has so enthusiastic
cally put it. With mass of scientific
data and many valuable specimens and
souvenirs of the trip the Discovery re-
turns to enrich the worlds knowledge.
The two primary objects of the expedi-
ton were magnetic work and geograph-
ical discovery. Continuous magnetic
observations were taken in the neigh
borhood of the south magnetic pole, but
the Cata embodying the results will, of
course, take a long time to work out.
The chief additions to our knowledge
of antarctic geography, made by Capt.
Scott and his brave crew, have, however,
already been made public. Wilkes Land,
which is marked so prominently on all
maps of the south polar regions, was
found to be ronexistent, the Discovery
sailing ever the very spot where it had
been charted. The great ice barrier
proved to be afloat and pushing its way
northwards at the rate of a quarter of a
mile year, and vast continent, with
ranges of high mountains, was shown
to exist under the ice-cap of South Vic
tOria Land. Mounts Erebus and Ter
ror, near which the Discovery wintered,
were discovered to be on an island, and
not on the antarctic mainland, as had
hitherto been believed, while the land
at the east end of the ice barrier was
found to be distinct from South Victoria
Land, and has been named by Capt
Scott King Edward VII. Land
During the two years that the Discov-
cry was shut in the ice Capt Scott and
his men made various expeditions in
different directions. The farthermost
point reached was that touched by Capt
Scott on his great dash for the pole
when h, reached point 50 degrees ahd

miles thu record of Borchgrevink, who
got as far as 70 degrees and 40 minutes
in 1900, and penetrating more than II
degrees further south than Capt Cook

In the second season Capt Scott lee

of South Victoria Land. vast continen'

Women.

There were four women-a pretty
woman, great woman, a wise woman
and a good woman. About the pretty
woman thousands pressed, asking her
how she did her hair. Hundreds gath
cred about the great woman, asking
her how she managed her butler. Doz-
ems drew near to the wise woman, ask
ing her how she avoided linking her
fingers. But the good woman stood
alone except for blind person, who
could not see that she was neither
pretty, nor great, nor wise, and was
therefore curious to know why she
was good-Baltimore Sun.

The national managers have learned
that the establishment of rural free
delivery and the extension of sub
urban trolley systems have been the
greatest aids in the dissemination of
general knowledge in the past ten
years. They have aided in the polit-
ical education of the country by Civ
ing the rural population daily mails.
and of this the national committees
have taken due advantage. They send
out daily brief pamphlets on political
topics, which the farmer and work
men can read in a few minutes. They
have a corps of newspaper writer's at
headquarters, who furnish to the
smaller daily newspapers editorial
matter and news letters of a political
character, so that the claims of each
party are constantly before the eyes
of the public. The public Is closer
reader than ever before, and for this
reason has about made up its mind
on political questions before the cam
paign orators swing around the circle
with their speeches.
At republican headquarters this lit
erary work is in charge of Mr.. Louis
A. Coolidge, who has for many years
been one of the most prominent news
paper correspondents in Washington.
