History of a Continent.

Strange have been the historical
vicissitudes of the antarctic continent,
the Century says. A Pigment of geogra
phic fancy evolved by Ortelius in 1870,
the great Capt. Cook thought that he
had demolished it in 1878.
Resuscitated by an American sealer,
N. B. Palmer, in 1920, it took form
and definite location explorations of
1910, supplemented by those of
D'Urville, Enderby and Kemp.
Ross eliminated Wilkes discoveries
from his charts, but the continent
was theoretically and scientifically re.
constructed by the great physicists,
Carpenter and Murray.
Slowly evolving its tangible shape
through the discoveries of the German
Drygalski, the Scotsman Bruce, the
Belgian Gerlache, the Frenchman
Charcot, the Norwegian Larsen and
the Englishman Scott, through the
late labors of Shackleton, the antarc-
tic continent now appears to extend
from Victoria Land to Enderby Land
and from Wilkes Land across the
south pole to Palmer Land.
Taken all in all, Shackleton's dis.
coveries are the most important and
extensive ever made within the ant
arctic circle. He has determined the
location Of the magnetic pole, largely
increased the known area Of the south
ern continent, virtually reached the
south pole and added materially to our
general knowledge of those regions.

lessor Russell made two attempts in 1890 and 1891. and in the latter effort failed by very small margin.

 We will leave the great peaks of Alaska and consider the mountains of the Pacific slope in the United States proper.

LACK OF MONEY Was a Godsend In This Case.

It is not always that lack of money is a benefit
 A lady of Green Forest, Ark, owes her health to the fact that she could not pay in advance the fee demand ed by specialist to treat her for stomach trouble In telling of her case she says:
 T had been treated by four differ ent physicians during 10 years of stomach trouble. Lately I called on another who told me he could not cure me; that l had neuralgia of the stom- ach. Then l went to a specialist who told me l had catarrh of the stomach and said he could cure me in four months but would have to have his money down. I could not raise the necessary sum and in my extremity was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
