 ANTARCTIC REGION.
Problems Which Explorers Are Try ing to Solve n the Interests of Science and Human
 Curiosity.

Three, If not fcur. expeditions. are expected to De in the antarctic area again within the next 1S months The six expeditions. is1m Capt Geriaehe, of Belgium, Q Dr Chareot. of France, that spent the pas few years il he for south discovered new lands and penetrated far inside of one long stretch of coast, but failed to ascer- tain whether these lands are all bound together forming a continent.
 Capt. Scott f1CC his way up the gen the ice slope for 5a9 miles into the n. terior Of Victoria Land but was not able after all l1 SHOW whether he mad marched into q continental mass or only large tslane Every expedition that Is going to this field hopes to shed light on he question of the south ern continent
 The problem B to be attacked on he American side of the antarctic by Lieut. Michael Baae. of the Discovery, who is preparing 10 go to Graham Land. about 606 miles south of South America. Explores have been up and down the east and west shores Of Gra- ham Land and what- they have found of it is about i50 miles long and from 50 to 100 miles wide. but il widehs rapidly toward the south; they do not know yet whether il is q large island or q promontofY.
 If. as some Of the students of the antarctic problem conjecture, the ex- tent of land in the south polar regions is about 3.500,000 square miles. thsse lands are abodt as large as the Unifed States. including Alaska. Human cl- riosity will never Ge satisfied till the whole extent of tIc land is laid down on the maps, and the geographas know now shat for the next % years ties field will te the scene of the largest exploratory activity.
 IL is strange that the mysterious south land which long before the dis covery of America was marked on the maps as Terra Australis should be the last and greatest problem of geog yaphy to be solved in the twentieth century.
 The statement Las been published several times recently that no inyesti- gations are now in progress in the antarctic This is slightly inaccurate. The Argentine government has just established q meteorological and mag netie station at Wandel island. far south on the vest coast of Graham Land. So the antarctic regions gre at present not entirely deserted by explorers.

Artificial Storm at Sea.

The inhabitants of Aboukir. near Alexandria. were recently treated to a wonderful spectacle. It became necessary to destroy some 16 tons of powerful dynamite, and the explo- sives-sufficient to blow up a town were taken to sea and placed beneath the water. Something like a subma- rino earthquake followed the explo- sion. which was heard for miles around. A waterspout shot into the mir to Height of about 2.00O feet. and fell hack in dazzling spray Simul. taneonsly the sea became a whirlpool of seething water, as if agitated by a hurricane.

NEVER IETuP.

The results from the past year'a work of the Farmers Union can not fail to impress the fact upon everYi member of the organization that there is strength in unity While many farmers have failed or refused to lend a helping hand to the jealous Union worker, there have been enough who did help to keep the movement alive, and bring about results which have surprised even the most skeptical
 IL can not be denied that the Union is the chief factor which held the price of cotton to ten cents and above, during the season now closing.
 It is fact that the Union, by it's in- fiuence. secured a saving of 225 cents per bale on cotton shipments.
 It is fact that the Union-single- handed and alone-has forced the Flu ropean spinners to consider the prac- ticability of contracting for their sup ply of raw cotton directly with the cotton raisers.
 This has resulted from combined ef- fort by those whom the favored few have dominated "hay-seeds, i" country yaps," and like opprubrious epithets. When the principles of the Union shall have been understood by all who live by honest toll, when a Local shall have been established in every ham, let and precinct, there will be reyo- lution-a peaceful revolution-not only in the methods of buying and selling farm products. but in many other Mercury Password.
