ANTARCTICA,- TWICE AS LARGE
AS EUROPE.

The Antarctic continent has been es.
timated to be at least twice as large as
Europe. The evidence OF paleontology
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 surface. 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 or
island. Explorations have proven
that in time before the advent of man
upon the earth, this most southern
land had a temperate, or even a
warmer climate. There are fossils.
both animal and vegetable, which indi-
cate this. The formation of the rocks in
Antarctic also is of volcanic origin and
volcanic activity, notably in the case
of Mt. Erebus, which is not yet ex-
tinct. A vast mountain, perhaps at
one time a continuation of the Andes,
exists in Antarctia.-FrCm "Amund-

PETER RICHARDS
HARD TO CONVINCE

/ | have often heard it MD that
"there are some people in this world
who know a whole lot of things that
are not So" and | am convinced since
reading in The News what
others said about the Lang & Camp
fire of 40 or more yetrs ago, that one
or more of them resides in the vicinity
of Baraboo and presumes to write his
, tory. Perhaps s)me may be induced
to put me in that class and if so | can
not help it, have written some
| things for The News AM a good deal
more for the Granville Times, a paper
| published in my native Ohio town,
, that have been spoke of as very in
, tereSting anu 50 n3 things that trans
pired in that to wa thai no other M m
| in the fash could have written about,
simply because he knew nothing about
! it, but which cana t. my elrS from
, the late Professor A s. Hutc1ens and
which he had from his fa.aer-in-law,
the late Alfred Avery, who died in
Baraboo after all the other actors were
in their graves.
But | am talking about the Lang "
Camp fire and it would take ALL the
"history" ever written in Baraboo to
convince me that any other buildings
than the Lang & Camp store were
destroyed in Baraboo at the time that
was. [ do not think there was any
such firm in Baraboo as Bower,
Obert & Go. in the spring of 1874
when [ left there. J. am very sure
George Bower and Percy Crossman
| were both cIerking for burlington
Brothers at the time of the fire and
the Bower named would be no one
else than George Bower. l believe he
came to Lodi.
[ can not believe that so many other
buildings and stocks of goods were
destroyed at one time and [ know
nothing about it, especially as L was
on the ground very soon after the fire
was discovered and remained to the
end. 1t would have been later fire
that would have destroyed the o.her
buildings and 1 can not believe any
other way. If P. H. Crossman says
| he was not in Burrington's at that
time, the date of the Lang & Camp
fire, that is another matter and 1 can
not dispute him. knew both Bower
and Crossman at that time, but have
seen neither of them to know them in
many years. AS to the paragraph in
Sank county history quoted, if ii is as
unreliable as that paragraph it is of
no value except as huge joke

it was a case Of ''pediculosis. The boy
had been brought into court on ac-
count of neglect and when the proba-
ton officer announced the trouble he
said that it was no wonder he did not
get aIongin school. He further said that
tne boy would be hampered through b
life unless something was done in this
case. BY this time the court desired
to know where and a dozen or more
visitors to the court were fdgeting
with curiosity. The boys head SEEM

eyes denoted unbounded health.
"Pediculosis, they repeated to one
