Antarctic Once Warmer.

Sir Clements Markham, President of
the Royal Geographical Society, re-
CARDS the results Of the Scott antarctic
expedition as the most important of
any that has ever gone to the arctic or
antarctic regions. He says:
"The discovery of rock with the i'm
preston of plants alone justifies the
expedition. I attach the utmost i'm
portance to this discovery, though /
hoped that something of the kind
would be forthcoming. thought it
was all volcanic rock and was certainly
unprepared for such a remarkable ad-
dition to our knowledge. 1t proves that
there was q warmer climate once in
that region than now. do not know
what effect it will have on the theory
of some biologists, founded on the
presence of certain plants in South
America, that there had been some con-
nection between Australia and South
America in bygone ages.
1.-THE results were magnificent he
discovered hundreds of miles of land,
not known to exist before, which seems
very like Greenland. There is a big
range of mountains facing the sea, a
gigantic ice cap behind. with no sign
of land beyond."-New York Sun.

BIRDS.

claim I'm tho first on the ground to pro-
pound
That birds, whether singers or screech-
ers,
Are entitled to rank with the rest and the
best
OF our eloquent, ethical preachers,
And / think that should be allowed to be
proud
You surely don't need to be tod :,
That, without any doubt, both my words
and my birds
Shut Audubon out in the cold!
For instance, the stork one ignores, or he
bores
The average woman or man;
They think that the properest place Tor
his grace
Is Japanese teapot or fan.
The infant-itesimal charge isn't large
That he brings to his customers. Still
Whatever its size, don't resent or repent
What he neatly puts down in his bill!
You may scorn her, but what is the use!
The goose
Is need in our lives. I aver
That there isn't creature on earth that
is worth
The respect we should proffer to her. J..
Could we sleep without her at our case, ii
you please?
Could we feast, without roasting her
brown?
No, no! Since by stufing her up we sup,
And slumber by stuffing her down!

Fast Time Around the Horn.

1. w. Lyon, of Englewood, N. j.,
writes Of a voyage he made to San
Francisco in 1851 on the famous clip
per ship Flying Cloud. The ship was
commanded by Captain ]. Perkins
Greasy, of Marblehead, Mass, and the
voyage was made in eighty-nine days
and twenty-three hours. Afterward
the same captain made the trip in
elghty-nine days and thirteen hours,
which time has never been beaten.
Captain Greasy worked his crew for all
they were worth. One squally day he
set and took in the studding sails four
teen times. They saw land but once
on the first voyage, and that was Cape
Horn. which they passed at distance
OF three miles.

New York. Sept. 0-Asents OF the So
ciety for the Prevention OF Cruelty TO

They arrested Mrs. Florence Williams
and her husband on the charge OF hav-
ing In their custody children not their
own. In violation OF the Penal Code, and

children. some OF whom were sadly in
need OF food and clothing.
In the house were found a housekeeper
and three cooks. but none OF the inmates
knew where the children came from or
under what conditions they were nv-
ing. When the agents made careful
search OF the place after Mr. and Mrs.
Williams had been removed they found
an infant In the basement showing evil
dences OF neglect. This child was also
taken away by the agents OF the society.
The Rev. DR.. G. A. Ames. pastor or
the Methodist Episcopal church at Tre-
mont and Boston avenues. told the police
that recently small boy had appeared
at his house begging for money and food.

Other residents or the neighborhood
have been annoyed by begging visits of
the children from the house, but no
amount OF questioning could reveal what
sort OF family lived there. on two or
three occasions neighbors visited the
house, but were unable TO learn anything
beyond the fact that a very large family
was housed there, with confusing evil
dences OF both poverty and comfort all
about the place.
Or. Ames decided TO satisfy himself
about IL. so when the small boy appeared
at his door again Friday he accompanied
him back 10 the Main street house and
instituted a thorough investigation Be
