The Antartic Continent.

From the National Geographic Magazine.
That a vast Antarctic continent exists.
perhaps twice as large as that of Europe,
would seem to be proved by the reports now
appearing of the recent explorations in that
region. The American Commander Wilkes,
returning from the far south in 1S41, as
serted the existence of a vast south polar
continent, and described his voyage Of
1900 miles in sight Of the coast. Ross,
however, returning soon after, discredited
Wilkes conclusions saying that the land
seen by Wilkes was merely great wall of
ice. The world has been in doubt which to
believe. That Ross was wrong and Wilkes
right Is very evident from the report OF
Captain Scott of the British Antarctic ex-
petition of 1901-04. Captain Scott shows
that the mass of ice seen by Ross is in
reality an extensive glacier resting on land
and covering the land like the ice cap of
Greenland. The glacier Is about 100 miles
wide, and reaches the sea through plain
lying between Victoria Land and Edward
VII Land The German expedition under
Won Drygalski working eighty degrees of
longitude farther west, also found some
what similar expanse of ice capped land.
whose limits they were unable to trace, but
which Is apparently part of the same Ant

Various Kinds of Machine Guns.

From Harpers weekly.
The first machine gun Of any note was the
Calling. The original Calling had ten bar
rels placed in a circle, with breach mech
anism so arranged that by turning crank
these barrels were successfully fired. the
cartridges being placed in a small hopper
situated on the top of the gum
The Hotchkiss was a similar gun, having
a similar arrangement of barrels, but a
totally difBerent form Of mechanism. The
Hotchkiss system, however, was used for
larger type of ammunition than the
Calling. The French mitrailleuse had
thirty barrels. They were all loaded at
the same time and all fired simultaneously.
The recoi1 was 50 great that 1t had to be
mounted in the same manner as field
piece, on a heavy carriage, requiring six
horses. The apparatus was clumsy, diff
Guilty to operate and had a comparative
ly slow rate of fire.
The Nordenfeldt gun consists of a series
of barrels arranged side by side, like organ
pipes. The Nordenfeldt gun generally has
five barrels, and the mechanism is work
ed by lever, the cartridges falling down
from a hopper on the top of the arm into
position, where the mechanism thrusts
them into the BARREL fires them and ex-
tracts the empty case. This gun is of
great simplicity, and for a time went into
extensive use.

DECAY OF SPEECH.
Beerbom Tree on the Art and Power Of
Vocal Repression.

From the London Telegraph.
supper given in his honor by the Edinburgh
Pen and Pencil Club the other night In
London, Beerbohm Tree said that in con-
nection with his school Of dramatic art and
of oratory in London he desired to establish
a classic repertoty which would give to the
provinces the works of Shakespeare which
he had given to ethe London public, and
which had not only been distinguished ar
tistic joy, but had proved SO remunerative
that they had more more than once saved
him from those squicksands toward which
the waters of modernity were fast sweep
ing him Acting was an art and speech
was an art. and the school would endeavor
to encourage deeper appreciation of the
beauty of the British languages. the En-
glish tongue. the Scottish tongue and the
Irish tongue. He WAS told that the Ameri-
can language was not without it's merits
and Ii was remarkable that the American's
speech has a certain virility of utterance
often lacking In English speakers
1t was astonishing how comparatively
few people were acquainted with the scope,
the variety and the beauty of the speech
wrought and builded up with such infinite
pains by those fOrefathers whom we re-
garded as barbarfans. We failed to realize
what superb legacy of speech, the exact
appreciation OF words and the proper en-
ployment of the right and fitting phrase
appeared well-nigh to have died out among
US, even in parliament. The general form is
to be careless and slfpshod though he
could not help thinking that ii some great
orator of the old school were to arise in
the house of commons he might once more
bring into vogue the grand style so splen-
didly employed by Pitt and Burke and
Gladstone. for the old school, Ii right, is
ever the new.

Mysteries Of Nature.

John Burroughs in Country Life in America
How does the bulb of the common lawn
lily get deeper and deeper into the ground
each year? Why does the ginger root hide
its blossoms when nearly all other plants
faunt theirs? Why do the roots of trees
flow through the ground like '.rllnnels of
molten metal" often separating and unit
ing again, while the branches are thrust
out in right lines or curves? Why is our
common yellow birch more often than any
other tree planted upon a rock? Why do
oaks or chestnuts often spring UP where
a pine or hemlock forest has been cleared
away? Why does lightning so commonly
strike a hemlock tree or pine or an oak,
and rarely or never a beech? Why does
the bolt sometimes scatter the tree about
and at others only plough a channel down
it's trunk? Why does the humble bee COM
plain SO loudly when working upon certain
flowers? Why does the honey bee lose the
sting when it stings a person, while the
wasp, the hornet and the humble bee do
not? How does the chimney swallow get
the twigs it builds its nest with? From
what does the hornet make Its paper?
/ have never been greatly interested in
SPIDERS but / have always wanted to know
how certain spider managed to stretch
her cable squarely across the road in the
woods, about my height from the ground.

Huns Displace Negroes.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
It is enough to make all the old Mfssis-
siupi river men who have passed away and
gone to their reward stir in the tomb could
thew know that Hungarians are to be sub
stftuted for negroes as roustabouts on the
river. This skaters the last tradition. We
cannot imagine these silent. taciturn little
men of central Europe making the moon
light nights vocal with their minstrelsy on
the lower deck or scrambling with each
other for nickels thrown by sportive pas
sengers.
Nor shall we believe that the mate dare
unwind that panorama of picturesque pro-
family at his long, wavering, undulating
line of roustabouts as they move from deck
to shore with the cargo. The darkey roust-
about hears these objurgations with joy
Gus and appreciative ear, and welcomes
burst of originality In 1t by rolling the
whites of his eyes expressively at his fell
lows, or, IL 1t is particularly moving. by a
loud yah, yah, YAH" that Is reward
enough for the objurgator. What will the
Hungarian care for the expietive wit that
stirs the responsive negro heart so deeplyf
He will not understand ii, and If he did hia
perception of the humor of swearing Is not
of the open and ready nature Of that OF the
sons of Ham He would get mad about 1t.
Everything Is changing on this river The
passengers are not the same. the boats are
smaller, the table fare is sadly scant and
luxury has long since departed.

From the London Mail.
1t is quite possible for any one to own q
forest of miniature oaks. which may be
grown even without the aid of soil. In
order to rear a miniature forest procure
shallow dish and cover the base of it with
moss an inch thick. Then set a number
of good acorns in rows about two inches
apart, and a perfect little forest of oak
trees can be raised. The moss must al
ways be kept very moist, and the acorns
will begin to grow in the spring.
BY June or July they Will have raised
themselves six to eight inches high, and

cotton importers profess to believe that
with proper encouragement Africa will in
time relieve England's dependence upon the
United States, and the results of the present
agitation will probably be much more tan
gible in this direction than is usual in
such cases. The keynote of British poll

What Came of a Letter
NN Y DEAR John:
BY VALENTINE MOTT.

ter OF last Sunday | wish to
say that DR.. North does call here
about once a week. He used to be
anxious about my health, and then,
too, he seemed to like to discuss
music and art with me. We are
very good friends.
Now, John, you ask me point
blank if | am in love with the doc
tor. There is no sense in running
on in this fashion write merely to
tell you that you needn't be afraid.
He says | am an inspiration to him.
The goodness only knows what he
sees in me! | am such humbug
unsteady, intellectually and artist
cally that a man of his caliber should
see right through ME. He never
suspects that | have not taken his
medicine for months. The fact IS,
John, | am getting better day by
day. You know the world is full Of
tired women. Some are tired men
tally, some tired physically and a
few unfortunate ones suffer fcom
both mental and physical fatigue.
The society woman is worn out by a
continual round of social duties. A
working woman is worn out by real
bodily fatigue and dull routine.
Something more than that is the
matter with me, John. You know
for years | have suffered from ner-
vousness, lack of sleep at night,
backache and when the social sea-
son was over | was almost dead, but,
thank goodness, John, | am much
stronger woman now, and | feel that
can take care of that cute, little
cottage which you and | are gong
to occupy next fall. With much
love,
Sincerely yours,
JEWEL.
My Dear Aunt Kate:
/ must tell you the good news.
Right after receiving your letter. the
day before New Years, | started in
with new resolutions on the first
of the year. | wrote to DR.. r. Y.
Pierce, at Buffalo, n. Y, as you re-
quested me to do. | gave him all
my symptoms, which were that |
was tired-so tired-all the time and
did not care to go anywhere, de-
pressed and sad, and all ambition
gone, backache and a dragged-out
feeling, could not sleep, limbs feel
ing sore and aching | followed the
doctors advice, which he went to
considerable pains to make plain to
me-to rest every day-a nap after
lunch-complete relaxation-culti-
vate repose of mind, try not to
worry and get as much outdoor an
as possible, and practice long, deer
breathing, expanding the lungs
Then for a uterine tonic, Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, cou-
pied with wash he told me of.
must say that after taking his adj
vice for four months | feel perfectly
cured and like a new woman.
Yours affectionately,
JEWEL.
The above letters are not unusual
as witness what the following wo-
men say:
