TO SEARCH FUR THE OTHER POLE
England and the United States to
Send Out Expeditions This Year.

Now that the North Pole has
been discovered and by an Ameri-
can, Uncle Sam is turning his at
tention to the South Pole. Plans
are already on foot to send all ex-
peditiou into the Antarctic the lat
ter part of next Summer, the pre-
parations for which will be man
aged by Commander Peary, who
will not, however, accompany the
expedition. The National Geo
graphic Society is backing the pro-
ject.
England. too, is going to 60
after the same goal, and will send
out shipload Of explorers i'll Au-
gust. England holds the tarthest
south record at present, Lieutenant
Shackleton having approached
within two degrees of the pole in
January 1909. The coming race
between the two expeditions will be
interesting.
The experience of the French
expedition of DR.. Charcot, which
is now on its way back after an un-
successful attempt indicates the
difficulties which are to be met in
those regions.
The "Pourquoi Pas" DR.. Char
cots vessel, on reaching the region
of ice on her trip to the South,
stranded on the coast of Graham
Land, but was rehoated after three
days. On the resumption of the
voyage the steamer met with long
series of accidents. She was in col
lision with a nurber of icebergs,
and ice pinched off the rudder, but
the crew managed to construct a
jury rudder.
The men suffered considerably
during the many months in the
Antarctic regions, scurvy and heart
disease being the chief ailments.
The scientific observations were
conducted with the greatest care,
and thus the object of the expedi-
tion was in part realized. Numer-
Gus journeys were made over the
ice, but it was impossible to use
automobiles on account of the bad
condition of the ice fields.
The stranding of the "Pourquoi
Pas' and the collisions with bergs
caused serious leak at the outset
of the expedition which proved i'm
possible of repair. Water flowed in
at all times, and the pumps were
in constant use until the end of the
voyage. The steamer was exposed
to violent storms on the return trip,
as far as the Strait of Magellan,
and was compelled to put in to an
obscure harbor for two days to re-
pair the engines. A scarcity of pro-
visions and coal, the damage to the
'hip and the exhaustion of the crew
necessitated the return.

GOOD ROADS MEETING.
Harrisburg Board of Trade Wants it
Held There.

The Board of Trade of Harris
burg will issue an invitation to the
State Good Roads Association to
hold its 1911 convention in that
city. This action has been taken
following a report by the Good
Roads Committee. in which it re-
commended action looking to the
adoption of a plan whereby careless
and indifferent road authorities may
be brought to realize their share Of
responsibility. The resolution also
states: "Your committee unani-
mously recommend that the Good
Roads Association of Pennsylvania
be invited to hold a state conven-
ton in Harrisburg few weeks be-
fore the meeting of the Legislature
in January, 1911. The first object
of those who have at heart the
holding of this convention will be
to have a thorough representation
of all classes of citizens of this
Commonwealth and especially those
who are interested in good road
conditions. All farmer organiza-
tions, as we'll as all civic associa-
tons and street and road officials,
will be invited to participate. 1t
is believed that by such conven-
ton legislation can be proposed to
the incoming Legislature that will,
if enacted, be of great and perma-
nent benefit to every one who uses
our public highways

Orchard Demonstration Trains in
Pennsylvania.

Beginning on Wednesday, Feb
ruary 10th, Demonstration Train
will be run on the Cumberland
Valley and Pennsylvania Railroads
i'll the State of Pennsylvania for
the purpose of demonstrating meth
DDS of pruning and spraying and
otherwise caring for fruit trees and
other plants. The primary object
Of this effort ie to show how to pro-
duce the best possible crops by con
trolling plant pests, especially the
San Jose Scale. This work viii
be in cooperation with the rail
roads named and Division of Zool-
ogy of the Pennsylvania Depart
mept of Agriculture, and will be
Under the direct supervision of
Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoolo-
gist, who has aided il preparing
the schedule and will be present
on the train at every stopping
place.
The purpose in running this
train this year is not so much to
give extensive demonstrations of
methods of spraying and pruning.
as TO exhibit apparatus and insecti-
cides, and show how to make the
cheapest, best and most efficient in
secticides and fungicides for the
control of plant pests (both diseas-
es and insects), and also, to give
opportunity for persons visiting the
train to hear lectures and see such
practical demonstrations as are
necessary to indicate the progress
made along this line since the run
ming of the demonstration trains
over the same railroads year ago.
There was very great interest
taken i'll these Demonstration
trains last winter, and hundreds of
persous attended the demonstra-
tions in tie orchards scheduled,
and also heard the lectures in the
lecture cas-. The results last fall
were manifest by increased quanti-
ty and especially improved quality
of the fruit grown in the regions
where these demonstrations were
given. The public has now full
confidence in the methods advocat-
ed by the Division of Zoology, as
there are many remarkable cases of
conspicuous success from these
methods, and persons who were
formerly discouraged in their eff
forts to control pests, especially
the scale, are now taking up the
subject of fruit growing with new
hope and interest, and are planting
trees extensively, with the expect
alton of restoring their orchards to
trultfulness and profit.
In planning the route and sched-
ule for these trains, plans have
been made for five stops per day,
averaging nearly two hours at each
place. This will be only half as
long as the train stopped at each

No FALSE PRETENsE has marked the
career of Ely's Cream Balm. Being
entirely harmless. it is not responsible

great virtue of Ely's Cream Balm is
that it speedily and completely over
