Twice as Large ~ All Europe Is tho
South Polar Continent.
The antarctic continent has been es-
timated to be at least twice as large
as Europe. The evidence of paleom-
tology is to the effect that Antarctica
was once connected with the more
northern lands. at least with South
America, and that in prehistoric ages
some tremendous CONFUSION of the
earth's crust resulted in the sinking of
the Submarine" floor, until in some
places it Is now 1000 fathoms, or
more than four miles below the sur
face.
All around the great land mass of
this continent there is deep ocean
bed cutting it off from every other
land of the earth and setting it apart
as a region more unlike the rest of
the globe than any other continent o,
island.
Explorations have proved that in
times before the advent of man upon
the earth this most southern land had
a temperate or even a warmer eli
mate. There are fossils, both animal
and vegetable, which indicate this.

tica also Is of volcanic origin and vol

new WATER WORKS
CONTRACT IS READY
Board of Works Will Adver-
tise for Bids on Instru-
ment, Thursday.

The city's water works contract was
altered this morning at meeting of
the board of public works, and the
board will advertise for bids next
Thursday.
Attorney LindemIth, representing
the x. M. Campfield company, appear
ed before the board and urged that the
settlement of the water works fran
chise not be delayed until action Of
the legislature regarding the appoint
ing Of utility commission is decided.
He asked the board to adjust the con-
tract SO that it will be acceptable to
the bidding companies.
The clause requiring the company
to have a special kind of pump will
be altered by City Attorney Gardner so
that the quality of the pump will suf-
flee rather than the special design as
designated in the original clause. MIR.
Campfield reported to the board that
there were several pumps more eff
cient than the one specified in the
proposition of the city.
The clause stipulating that the roof
at the pump house be of concrete was
changed. The roof and smoke stack
can be made of brick, according to the
tchange.
Other Changes Made.
! An additional sentence will be added
Ito the clause requiring the company to
make certain pressure test for fire
protection so that the test will not be
trequired until the new required TWEEN
!.ty-inch main is installed. If the COM
kpany fails to make the required test
when asked, the hydrant rentals will
mot be paid by the city.
The proposed change of lessening
the time required for the raising of
tthe pressure less than seven and one
shalf minutes as proposed by Chief
miller of the fire department was dis
cussed by the board. Under the fran
chise granted the Richmond City
Water Works, the time for the raising
of the pressure is ten minutes. The
city lessened the time to seven and
'one-half minutes, which is considered
still too high by Chief Miller. "The
time limit ought not to be more than
fine minutes" said Miller.
Mayor Zimmerman stated that the
water works company would raise the
pressure as soon as possible, as it
would be saving money by getting the
required pressure. In case of a large
fire it was explained that the sooner
the water is applied to the fire, the
less water would be required.
Mr.. Lindemuth also objected to the
present bond issue. He requested the
board to insert clause which will
give the company the right to issue ad
ditional bonds when extensions are
made, this action to be taken with the
consent of the board of works and the
city controller.

ORIGIN OF "BLACKLEG."
The Term Came From Race Track Men
Who Wore Black Top Boots,

The Term Came From Race Track Men
Who Wore Black Top Boots.
The term blackleg. which has come
to mean one who Systematically tries
to win money by cheating in connec-
ton with races or with cards. billiards
or other games of skill or chance and
is used as synonymous with a swim
dler, a welsher, is Of uncertain origin.
Some authorities connect it with the
black legs Of a gamecock, so much
used by the sporting fraternity for bet
ting purposes.
According to another and more prob
able view. the expression had no dis
graceful sense attached to it at first.
but was applied to turf and sporting
men because they were often in the
habit of wearing black top boots.
When blackleg had thus become a cur
rent phrase for professional sporting
men it probably passed into use as ap-
piled more particularly to those who
took an unfair advantage of their OPP
portunities to cheat the unwary.
The derivation of this term was once
