FIRST MEN UP MOUNT EREBUs
Antarctic Explorer Found a Ora ter on
Top and n Nine ndre
Foot Hole.

The inaccessible antarctic volcano, Mount
Erebus, was first climbed by members Of
the party of Lieutenant Shackleton, who
writes in McClure's Magazine: When we
had settled down IN the hut, he began to
turn speculative eyes toward Mount Ere
bus. The ascent OF the mountain had been
regarded as very difficult. IL not i'm
possible; but there was no doubt that IL
it could be climbed, the scientific results
would be most valuable, and we decided
that the attempt should be made.
II selected Prof. David, Mawson and
Mackay to try the ascent Of the summit.
They were to be provisioned for ten days,
and a supporting party, consisting of
Adams, Marshall and Brocklehurst, was to
assist the main party as far as possible.
Eventually the whole six reached the top
Of the mountain. When they reached the
crater edge-the first men to reach the
summit of Erebus-they found themselves
standing on the lip OF a vast abyss filled
with a rising cloud of steam.
After a continuous loud kissing sound,
lasting for some minutes, there would
come from below a big, dun boom, and
Immediately great globular masses of steam
would rush pward to swell the volume
Of the cloud which swayed over the crater.
The air was filled with the fumes of
burning sulphur. Presently a light breeze
famed away the steam cloud, and at once
the crater stood revealed I'm all its vast
extent and depth. 1t was between 800 and
800 feet deep, with a maximum width OF
half a mile. and at the bottom could be
seen three well-liHe openings, from which
the steam proceeded. On the wall OF the
crater opposite to the party, beds of dark
pumice alternated with white patches of
snow, and in one place the existence of
scores Of steam Jets suggested that the
snow was lying on hot rock,
The party ascertained the height of the
mountain to be 1850 feet, and found tina
the moraines left by some gigantic an
cestor of the Great Ice Barrier ascend the
western slopes OF the mountain to a height
Of fully 1000 feet above sea level. Is
the adjacent sea Is at least 800 fathoms
deep, the ice-sheet, when at its maximum
development, must have had a thickness
OF not less than $500 feet"

AIRSHIPS OF CENTURIES AGO
Record of Monks Who Were High
Flyers Two
Years Ago,

1t is interesting to note that according
to the account furnished by the Milan
correspondent Of the London Daily Tele-
graph. the first alleged flight across the
channel was also accomplished by an
italian monk. This was said TO nave
been done In 1851 But I'm the British
museum is to be seen a drawing and
description OF an airship, the invention
Of a Brazilian, and also a monk, named
Bartholomew Laurence de Guezmao, VINO
is said TO have exhibited the capabilities
Of his contrivance before the king OF
Portugal at Lisbon in 100. The account
appears in the Evening Post OF December
AN22. 17O9, which was published bi-weekly
for some years. The description states
that Il was "a flying %shipJiately invented

During the daV the president made no

received him, politicians and business men
alike, the Winona speech OF last night, in
which tho president made clear his po-
sition with reference to, the Payne bill

who voted for and against that measure,
was the chief topic Of discussion.

OLD GRIMES, WHO'S DEAD
Tales They Tell at TempIetOn, Mass,
of the Hero of n POpu-
lar Song.

Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We meier shall see him more.
He used to wear a long, gray coat
All buttoned down before.
Old Grimes he had a good old hen,
A good old hen was she.
She used to lay two eggs a day,
And Sunday she laid three.
The squirrels a very pretty bird,
And wears a bushy tail.
He used to steal Old Grimes corn
And eat 1T on a rail.
Old Grimes he had a little dog,
A little dog was he.
He used to hist up one hind leg,
And hop along on three.
Old Grimes wife made butter and cheese;
Old Grimes he drank the whey.
There came an east wind from the west
And blew Old Grimes away.
so the old song goes, with a legion more
OF verses, and will be kept on going years
longer. Although Old Grimes has been
dead these seventy-five years and more
his memoir is still with the old folks
at Templeton. Mass, handed down by
their fathers. to whom he was q living
reality of iovial comradeship and waggish
wit. They will point out hills, roads,
house sites. landmarks famous for some
doughty deed, some practical Joke, played
by Old Grimes.
This very road. the old State road"
they will tell you, leads to Hubbardston,
where, three miles up a piece, Old Grimes
was born. Twas along this road he led
the old dominic such a pace years ego.
you see, he'd made a bet with some
OF the boys at the tavern that he'd make
the domini ride behind him on the
piHion before breakfast Sunday morn
ing wearing his, Old Grimes, hat and
coat and drink half a mug O. toddy with
him at the tavern. Sure enough, he
raped up the dominic early one Sunday
morning and told him to come quick to
the bedside of his dying mother. Here
says he, don't wait for your hat and
coat. Take mine, and climb right up
behind me- They rode along together
TIL they came to the tavern, where Old
Grimes stopped. Come he says, ITS
been a pretty cold ride. Let's have a
mug o toddy to warm us up a bit The
dominic (you know all folks drank teddy
I'm them days., well, the dominic climbed
down and drank his today and was for
hurrying right on, Sit a while, says
Grimes. II ma amt dead she's better
by this time, so there amt no need to
hurry l guess he won the bet.
Right there on that hill where you see
them piles OF stones stood old Ed Ben
nett's house. One time Ed was woke up
about the middle OF the night by a loud
knocking at the door. He got up and
went down to see who It was. and there
stood Old Grimes.
Ed says he, IL looks as though we
might have rain before morning. 50 /
thought ia wake you up, SOS you could
take your chimney In II you wanted to-
Another time he raped up Bennetts
folks and asked n Miss Bennett hadn't
lost a durning needle. He'd been looking
around among the straw in the barn and
expected 10 find one any minute.
"Old Grimes went over 70 Worcester
county fair one time and bought a horse.

A vicious rat routed Richard c. Baker in
his own store at Shortley, near George

refuge in his house across the way.
A party driving to Seaford Weakened
Baker to learn the road and buy some to-
baccQ. Baker entered the store with a
lantern and noticed a big rat gTaring' at
him from a shelf. With a shovel he
started to drive the raj out, but after 1t
had knocked down a lot Of glassware the
rodent turned and attacked the man. bit

Without giving an inch, the rat stood
his ground, making frequent dashes, and

He didn't have his money with him, so
he told the man he'd pay him the next
day and gave him his note to secure 1t.
The note read, L promise to pay Jed
Starkes $50 tomorrow. Grimes The next
day Starkes waited for Grimes to come,
but no Grimes showed up. The day
after he rode to Grimes's house and asked
for his money.
We'll, says Grimes, looking wise, this
note says I'll pay you tomorrow. Come
around then and I'll give it to you You
see Old Grimes hadn't put no date to the
note. and he kept that fellow running to
his house, tomorrow and tomorrow TIL
he'd had enough fun out OF II, then he
paid him off with the interest AIDED to #.
. Grimes had a horse that he'd brought
up from a colt and had trained 1t SOS it
would go when he said Whoa and would
stop still when he said 'Get-ap.' One
time when they was holding court up to
the meeting house Grimes came along
riding this horse, and, by sollerai, IL he
didn't ride him straight up the meeting
house steps into the room where the
court was setting, hollering Whoa to 1t
at the top of his voice. OF course, the
horse kept right on, and the folks around
couldn't blame Grimes none for a balky
horse, cause they seen he was trying to
make it stop. They didn't know how he'd
been trained.
Some folks say Old Grimes wasn't
quite right. He was a mighty coward,
they say. His folks scared him so when
he was a child that when he growed up
he was afraid to go down cellar after
dark without he had a drink or two to
brace him up. Anyhow, his doings give
folks their fun years ago, and guess 1t
amt died out yet."-New York Sun.
