IN AN ANTARCTIC savALL.
Not a Pleasant Experience with the
Temperature at 72 Degrees
Of Frost.

Suddenly the mist lifted. and the tenn
gale. by this time had fallen to 72 de-
grees of frost. The first squall brought
drift snow. and we suffered greatly from
frost bites, while securing our little
camp. writes c. E.. Borchgrevinks, in
Antarctic Experiences" in Century.
Our reindeer sleeping bags, which, while
warm from previous use, had been packed
on the sledge. where they became quite
fiat and frozen hard. SO that when the
gale surprised us We had to thaw our
selves gradually into the bags. Later on
we used the dogs to thaw out the bags
for US. They always liked to roll upon
anything that was not snow or ice, even
were 1t but thrown away mitten; and
they would turn round and round over
1t. Imagining that they were warmer
there than on the snow. When later we
threw our frozen bags on the snow, the
dogs generally clustered together on
them at once. and soon after we could get
into them.
BY this time the gale was over us In
earnest. and we took refuge in our sleep
ing bags in the tent, from which we were
not able to extricate ourselves for the
next three nights and days. in which
time we expected the icy floor beneath us
to break up at any moment. Our silk
tent rapidly filled up with dense fog.
both from our breath and from the heat
given cut by the lantern; thick layer OF
frost soon covered the inner walls of the
tent, and beautiful snow crystals shone
down on lis through the ventilation hole
In the bag. The drift snow buried the
tent, and the snow pressure left us Just
enough space for our sleeping bags. The
dark little spot which we formed on
those vast white fields was blotted out
Men, dogs and sledges all disappeared.
and the antarctic gale as 1t ragged over us
found nothing but cold white solitude
For three nights and three days We
had to take turns in standing on all
fours to prevent being smothered By
the pressure of the snow From timc
to time the Laps Joined in melancholy
native hymns. the monotony Of which
seemed in q remarkable degree to har-
monte with the rage of the blizzard
over our heads. We had brought
small aluminium cooking stove with US
into the tent, and with difficulty We
prepared a warm meal. But in the
cold the metal stuck to our fingers,
and it was not pleasant to have ones
turn at cooking. We roasted the
heart OF seal. but other parts we ate
raw. The dogs were completely showed
under. Some of them had eaten the
straps of their harness in order to free
themselves; but they were still un-
able to move. being frozen to the ice.

sATuRN's SATELLITE.
Its Discovery In 1890 Has Only Of
Late Received Authentic
Confirmation.

One OF the most interesting recent
astronomical discoveries is that Of
Phoebe. the ninth satellite OF Saturn
announced in 1899 by Prof. William Fl
Pickering, as having been found on
photographs made at the Harvard uni
versity observatory, at AreQuipa, In
Peru. The data. says Youths Com
panion. were not then sufficient to
furnish satisfactory determination of
her orbit
Confirmation of the discovery has
been long delayed. probably because
the planet has been crossing the re-
gicn of the milky way, where stars
are so numerous that its verification
would be difficult Naturally astrono-
mers had become somewhat sl,eptical
as to Phoebe's real existence, suspect
ing that some mistake might have
been made in Interpreting faint spots
on the photographs.
But complete confirmation comes a,
last in Harvard bulletin just issuel
stating that the satellite has been
found again upon numerous Arequipt
plates. IL OF which. made in and since
last April. furnish the elements for &
reasonably accurate prediction of its
position.
The calculation OF the orbit is well
in hand. and the results will be given
in volume of the Harvard Annals"
soon to appear. The satellite is ex-
tremely small. probably too faint to
be seen through any existing teles-
cope. but We can photograph what
cannot be seen.
AS to its orbit, all that can be said
at present is that the distance from
the planet must be between 1900 900
and 100000 miles, and the period of
revolution about II months. For fur
ther and more precise Information we
must await the finished computations
OF the six satellites discovered dur
ing the last century all but the slte,-
lite Neptune were found by American
astronomers--the seventh satellite OF
Saturn b. Bond in 1si9; the two sate-
lites of Mars by Hull in 1877: Jupi-
ter's satellite by Barnard In 1892. and
now Phoebe.

Punishment for Detectives.

Two Washington detectives"
were returning from Ohio with IL
horse thief in custody and permit
ted their man to escape by jump
ing through car window. They
wired q report to the sheriff and
promptly received instructions
not to return unless they brought
their prisoner with them. That
is the way to talk. If two men.
well armed and having the au-
thority to shackle prisoner, can
not bring him across the cont.
nent in a railway train it is time
for them to seek some other oc.
cupation and forfeit the amount
of their official bonds. The trouble
is that we hold such official de,
linquencies too lightly. To per
NIT criminal to escape is as
great a wrong against the public
as to abscond with public funds,
and punishment for the offense
should be as certain in one case as
il is in the other.-Portland Ore.

TO CAPTURE RATTLEsNAKEs.
Not Such Difficult Feat When Ono
Goes About It the Right
Way.


1t isn't everybody who knows
how to catch rattlesnake, ever
should he have sudden occasion
to put such knowledge in practice,
says the Chicago Chronicle. The
first indication Of the presence of
rattler is the sharp, unmistaka
Bile rattle. The reptile is the fair
est fighter of all living creatures.
never failing to give due warning
of its hostile intent. Bending low
and gazing among the shrubs, the
dangerous one may be espied. He
is curled on himself like Il spiral
spring, his head fiat and triangu-
lar, and fourth of his body raised
out of the circles of coils and bent
into the shape of a horizontal s.
ready to strike with lightning
rapidly. The eyes glare black
and cold as the viper is poised like
tense spring, alert and ready to
bury its long, needlelike poison
fangs and to inject the frightful
poison.
1t the intruder is without strik
ing distance and remains where
he is, he is in little danger, as only
IN the rarest cases have the snakes
been known to attack and assume
the initiative. If the hunter with.
draws, gradually the viper as.
sumes position of repose, which
II maintains until again threat
ened. But to the snake catcher
the threat of the RATHER is not
serious deterrent. He knows the
creature can strike only within Il
radius of about one-half its length.
Having struck it must recoil and
aim n second time before it can
send out its hideous head. A six
foot stick is all that is necessary
to catch the formidable snake.
PUSHING the end of the stick to
ward the reptile, the hunter
watches his chance. The RATHER
is motionless, as if carved out of
stone, only its bcady, icy eyes fas
tened upon the end of the stick to
await the proper moment to bite
When that comes there is move.
ment too quick for the eye to fol
low, and the long fangs are sunk
into the stick, while the reptile,
realizing its mistake at once, is al
ready coiled up and again in
fighting attitude.
Before it can strike down comes
the pole, pinning the long, squirm.
ing body to the ground, and the
hunter walks boldly toward the
helpless one, takes it up close be
hind the head, where the poison
fangs cannot reach him, and puts
his captive into bag.
There are other methods of
catching the rattler-for in
stance, when the reptile is in its
winter quarters and lethargic and
lazy. Bnt the manner described
is the way the professional snake
catcher secures his specimens.
