Capt. Scott's Work.

The nature of the message sent
back by Capt. Scott from the Antarc-
tic, taken in conjunction with the fact
that the British explorer was then
within $50 miles Of the pole, heightens
the probability that Amundscn's feat
will be duplicated by the British ex-
petition. If Capt. Scott, at the NOM
ent he sent his message, had been in
as desperate condition as Lieut.. Shack
leton's party was during the last few
days of it's wild rush for the pole, the
British commander would hardly have
been in the state of mind to write
calmly about "another winter in the
Antarctic to continue and complete
my work" People with blood-shot
eyes fixed upon goal are apt to let
the future take care of itself. The
presumption is, therefore, that when
Capt. Scott cast off his last support
ing party one hundred and fifty miles
from the pole, he was looking for
ward with confidence to a successful
conclusion of his trip. OF course,
even if he has succeeded in reaching
the pole, the event will mean
nothing to those Englishmen who arc
described as kecnly disappointed at
losing the Polar trace" To such
sportsmcn one may offer condolences
without attempting to advance the
silly argument that the scientific lab
ors Of Capt. Scott in the Polar region
may be some compensation for his
failure to beat Capt. Amundscn to
the wire.

mess may make small group of bus

In most circumstances the transporta-
ton facilities Offered by port are ad-
vantageuus fof varioue forms OF manu-
facture and for the development OF
various forms of manufacturing near

facilities 90 unused because it relies
solely upon it's port business, it weuid
probably better not be port at all.

PORT BUSINESS

Agreeing with writer in Harper :
Weekly that port business is very linn
tied in possibilities as a producer OF
population. The Savannah Morning
News urges the commercial interests
of its town to lay more stress on manu-
featuring industries than has been
laid heretofore. at is population,
SAYS our contemporary, chat supports
the real estate agent, the real estate
owner, the retail merchants and the
business and professional men OF all
classes. Commerce brings wealth and
undoubtedly furnishes men employ
ment. but in order to have big city
we must have factories. The wages
of the operatives come along every
week and find their way into every
phase Of life in the city
1t is the contention Of the Harper's
Weekly writer that even so great a
harbur as New York's contributes lit
tie toward her increase in population;
the metropolitan cities like New York
and Boston owe their growth and i'm
portance, to the Bridgeports, the New
arks, the .Brooklyns, the Unveils and
the Lawrences close to them. He
cites Philadelphia as being great

Eczema. Psoriasis and other skin
troubles are caused by myriads OF germs
st work in the skin. Salvcs have been
tried but have }iGen proven worthless,
for they only clog the pores and fail
utterly to remove the real cause OF the
disease.
These germs can be destroyed only by
wash. and unless this is promptly
done. they rapidly multiply, EnawinS
their way deep into the sensitive tissue.
This is what causes that awful itch, ami

AIR CUSHIONS FOR
AUTOMOBILES

The air-cushion automobile invent
ed by Josef Holman, the pianist, and
constructed at the Saurer machine
works in the consular district of St
Gall, Switzerland, promises to bring
about a revolution in automobile con-
Struction. In place of the usual steel
springs il has four brass cylinders for
compressed air resting on the aXles
under the four corners of the automo-
bile body, and these, by means of pis-
tons and soft leather diaphragms,
greatly reduce the swaying and jolt
ing.
1t is claimed for the invention that
it is adaptable to all kinds of roads,
regardless of speed or weight of ma
chine; that the air cushions work in
simultaneously with softness and ease
of movement; that there is an entire
absence of vibration, as no metal
springs intervene between the axle
and the car body; that there is almost
perfect balance in rounding curves;
and that there is as nearly perfect
working safety as can be secured. The
machine has been undergoing severe
tests for several months, having al
ready run more than 1900 miles over
unfavorable roads, and is said to have
given great satisfaction. Within the
past few days it has made a speed of
forty miles per hour over an unusual
ly rough road with great ease of
movement-By Consul D. l. Murphy,
St. Gall, Switzerland.
