terra incognita and there half hundred islands
the Arctic Circle of which scarcely is known
than the names of their discoveries. To be sure,
they appear on the maps, with shore lines neatly
indented and i1llets carefully Marked but these
details are less tribute to the knowledge of the
chartogra pher than to his skill in deduction.
The conditions in Mexico unlike those in
either Canada or the United States. The distnc-
ton between explored and UNEMPLOYED is there more
difficult to draw From the historical point of view
it is doubtful whether any part of Mexico is unds
covered 1t was an old country, with an ancient
they so harried it, SO raked it, may almost say
cobed it, their search for treasure that hardly
a rod of its territory have escaped their feet.
There is however, much of the country which is
essentially unknown Much of it is imperfectly
mapped and extensive areas in need of survey.
As for Typographical survey such as is being
made in the United States Mexico has not the
wealth to make such an undertaking Immediately
practicable. In some respects Mexico presents
attractive field for the amateur explorer than
Canada; for the redscovered has often a historic
interest which adds to the zest Of the search.
To the statesman and the economist, 11nmigra-
ton, agriculture, mining and commerce are the
chief ends of man. Yet profit has figured slightly
among the causes of exploration. Mere adventure
has often been the chief Indictment, sometimes
sport has led men into unknown regions, sometimes
the desire to get away from civilization. But the
true impulse to explore seems to rest older
and much deeper ground. Professor Shaler has
recently made the speculation that we inherit the
impulse to explore from the lower animals. 1t has
something of the uncalcuatng zeal of primary
impulse and Professor Shaler is of the opinion that
the blind migrations of the squirrels of the Ale
ghen1eS and of the 1emming of Scandinavia are the
ancestral sources of the explorers passion. What
ever truth there may be in this speculation. the
explorer seems often enough to be driven by an

intense and overmastering impulse. Kipling has
probably put this best in the opening stanzas of
his poem The Explorer:
There's sense in going farther-ts the edge of cui
So they said, and l believed it-broke my land and
sowed my crop,
Built my and strung my fences the little border
station
Tucked away below the foothills where the trails
out and stop.
Till voice bad Conscience rang inermnabe changes
On everlasting whisper day and night repeatedso:
Something hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind
the ranges
Something lost behind the ranges-lost and waiting
for you. Col!
There is no doubt that many of the famous
plorers have gone the ends of the earth in obedi
just this sort of incalcuable and uncalcuat
ing impulse. Professor Shaler tells story of Cap
tain Charles Hall of Arctic fame who after porting
at last broke away from his business and gave
up first his occupation and at last his life to the
quest 1t is this desire which furnishes the dynam-
les for all scientific exploration.
AS it gave the impetus to the exploration of the
past from Columbus to Our own day. it must give
the Zest to that of the future But the exploration
of the future be intensive rather than extensive
1t will become increasingly matter of detail, of
closer and scientific accuracy, of more and
more minute and precise knowledge. AS has been
stated only about half of the United States yet
properly surveyed and mapped But the time is
at hand when every square mile OF territory
will be as accurately known that of the older
European States. Meanwhile it is plain that every
decade will demand forms of research, fuller
and revised knowledge of geographical cond1-
tions. And may agree with Professor Shaler
that So far can foreSee the geographic
problems of the continent will need the explorer
for generations to come.

A Day of Patriotism

A Irishnan, before police court on the charge
of denolishing orange-cart, was asked If he
did not know that the plaintiff was of the same
faith himself
Sure; but he was Eyetalian, and besides he had
business peddlin' oranges the day, he replied
But the Pope himself is Italian, said the Judge
and he likes oranges. And you believe the
Pope infallble, don't your"
Ys, yer honor; but if he was an Irish Pope he'd
be all the more infallible."
In these days of increasing federation there is
less and less friction of this sort. The custom of
giving Saint Patrck's Day parades is gradually
dying out in this country. Many years ago the
New York City Council passed ordinance i'm
posing penalty on anyone who abused efhgy
of Saint Patrick, but such law is now necessary.
Patriotic Irish societies observe the day quietly,
and there services in the Catholic churches,
especially in those edihces named after the saint.
Even in Ireland there is less and less of bitterness
between the wearers of the green and the yellow,
and the crack of the shla1ah is not often heard
formerly to the accompaniment of the strains of
60 st. Patricks Day in the Mornin'." The attitude
of Queen Victoria had much to do with bringing
about this change of feeling.
1t was the Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos
who in vocing Her Majestys sentiments wrote these
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-03-18

lines, which each recurring Saint Patrick,s Day
find response the hearts of the Irish soldiery;
We're the most uplifted regiment,
Bedad we're mortal keen!
The shamrock in our forage caps
By order of the Queen!
This song bears date 1000 for it was in the last
year of her reign that Victoria, just before her
rabe visit to Ireland gave orders that her Irish reg
ments were to wear the shamrock in their headgear
Saint Patrick's Day. That raised the national
emblem of the island officially to the heart-high
position it had ever held in sentiment. 1t
small and easy thing to do but it made the tiny
three-leaved plant popular it before.
Significance of the Shamrock
IN spite of all ingenious attempts to dscredit the
beautiful story which represents the patron
saint of the Emerald Isle using the shamrock for
an illustration of the Holy Trinity, in spite of the
learned debates and academic differences of such
scholars as Bentham and Britten, Colgan and Cook,
your true freshman the world over Will ever cling
to the chosen leaf which grows in the moss, the
moor, and the mireland" of his old home and the
public Endorsement of a Queen surely did not
weaken that affection.
Dear Shamrock of Erin so sacred and green
Though ages of sorrow thy past years have seen;
From chdhoods bright morning manhood's decline
Thy leattet we wear o er our hearts ever thine.
In Moores poem on the shamrock he tells of
the triple grass - which
Shoots up, with dewdrops streaming
AS softly green emerald seen,
Through purest crystal cleaning
o, the Shamrock, the green immortal Shamrock
Chosen leaf of bard and chief,
Old Ern's native Shamrock
By many of the faithful in Wales and elsewhere
Irish soil is imported to keep away serpents and
it has been declared that bite of Irish clay will
kill snake
Patrick's abors in Ireland lasted more than
thirty years. In Downpatrick near the place
where slave he tended sheep, his ashes
now believed to repose.

best imitation he can find, and if he get no
shamrock, real or counterfeit, he a green
necktie strip of green in his coat lapel.
1t was not many years ago that the more enthu-
bedecked themselves with green would decline to
tolerate the sight of yellow emblem. Vendors of
oranges and bananas did well to keep their carts off
the street Even a belief in the same religion
not always sufficient to orange-sellers; that
fruit entirely too suggestive of the Orangemen's
association

years ago, on March
II, according to the most
trustworthy accounts, the
death and Qualification of
Saint Patrick took place.
That is why, on the ami

ing their willingness to die, if necessary, rather
than give up wearing it.
For the last half dozen years under the inspir-
ing influence of the Shamrock League happily
instituted and even happily carried on by
the Countess of Limerick there has been an
unprecedented demand for the Irish national
emblem. Thousands upon thousands of little
green boxes filled with tiny punches of the trefoil
have annually been packed by that great-hearted
woman and her friends and sold the world over,
the proceeds going to aid disabled Irish soldiers
and the destitute relatives of those Irishmen who
have fallen in battle Last winter nearly three
hundred of the poor in Counties Clare and Linn
erick alone tided over the hard weather on the
profit derived from the patriotic sale of shamrock.
Where the Shamrock Grows
A ND where does all the shamrock come from? 1t
4 grows wild in every county of Ireland. Along
the mountains, in the old hill pastures and in the
quantities early in the year February s, and
a fortnight later in luxurious abundance. The
tinest and therefore the most priced variety is
usually found along the bank of dry ditch where
there is grass, for the poorer and arid the
soil the better the shamrock Not BARN in Ireland
but knows all the best places his home to look
for the little green leaf 1t is the children who
the gatherers. For days just before the good
saints festival the hills around Stepaside and

may in no case exceed two dollars but who
supremey happy in their patriotic task.
There national enblems that may be eaten.
Not so the shamrock. A man may eat leek and
enjoy it, Scot might try a thistle, but an
Irishman must drown his shamrock That is as
is March II itself.
