BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN

, history OF Antarctic exploration. The
whole scientific world gives sir Ernest
Shackleton Just credit for his trip into
the mysteries Of the Antarctic CONT
uent. Not only did he make magnifi-
cent contributions to geographical
knowledge, but he carried with him
scientific aides who gathered data Of
ines timable value in the study OF all
Of the natural sciences.
His contributions to biological knoWl-
edge were most important For in
stance, he discovered in the heart Of
the Antarctic, little rOtifers and wat
earbears, the former worms and the lat
ter cousins Of the spider. which pos
sessed the most remarkable heat and
cold resisting qualities imaginable.
They were frozen in the ice. subjected
to almost boiling heat dried as dry
as finder, and frozen, thaWed and dried
all over again many times and for
suffer no i'll effects whatever from the
treatment The expedition also found
many specimens Of the great emperor
penguin, which attains weight OF 80
pounds. The female penguin lays
only one egg season, and that
during the dark, Antarctic night
The whole family takes turns
in holding the egg off the ice
and thus Matching it out The
Matching process takes seven weeks
As soon as one grows weary or hungry,
another takes Up the burden In the
same way they care for the nestlings,
which are often injured BY the enthus-
iastic efforts Of the various compel
ing nurses to take care Of them.
Financed by Private Funds.
Sir Ernest's expedition was financed
by private funds He had gone south
in 1901 with captain Scott and had al
most died OF scurvy. Yet this did not
deter him from making the second at
tempt. Members Of his party assembled
the great Antarctic volcano "Erebus,"
over 1900 feet high, and which has
a crater Of twice the depth OF Vesu-
vius and half a mile in diameter.
steam from the crater often rose to
height Of nearly two miles.
Here one could see eternal fire and
eternal ice always in contact. The re-
suits Of the Shackleton expedition
demonstrated the existence Of q con
unental mass twice greater in eleva-
ton than any other continent and
having the highest table land in the
world. He found coal and other fos-
sil remains, which prove that the
south pole once had mild climate.
He and his associates dragged many
valuable biological specimens for 500
miles, at an imminent risk OF their
lives, and yet do not refer to il ex-
cept fncidently. He proved what Wilkes
had asserted Before him, that there IS
an Antarctic continent much larger
than all Europe.

met Bellingshausen and told him about
his work. Bellingshausen used Palm
er's data and is to this day, accord
ing TO many authorities, given much
credit which belongs to Palmer.
Another instance Of the same kind
occurred in the case of lieutenant
Charles Wilkes, Of the United States
navy, who first discovered the Ant
arctic continent the area Of which Is
nearly twice that OF Europe. Com
handing the United States Exploring
expedition" under orders from the
government to penetrate within the
Antarctic region" he sailed from sgd
ney, Australia, December &c, 1899. His
squadron consisted Of four small sail
ing vessels, none Of which was suit
able for ice work, and two OF which
were forced to return The other two
sailed along the Antarctic coast for
some 1900 miles.
little later captain James Ross
headed an expedition outfitted by the
English government. When he got in
to the Antarctic region and discovered
that Wilkes had preceded him, he was
so furiously angry that he sought in
every possible way TO discredit the
work OF the American explorer. He
refused to recognize the work Of
Wilkes, even eliminating from his
charts the information gathered By
Wilkes. He insisted that the accounts
Of the American explorer were errOne-
Gus and untrustWOrthy. It has been
only within the past decade that the
efforts OF Ross to belittle the work
OF Wilkes have been shown up in their
true colors. It is rather gratifying to
American pride to feel that much Of
the credit which is now being given
to the American explorer comes from
English sources.
ShackletOn's Expedition.
The expedition Of sir Ernest Shack
Teton, which promises to go down in
polar history as one OF the most valu-
able from a scientific standpoint that
has ever been made, went FAR towards
proving the authenticity Of the reports
Of Wilkes and placing it in its true
light Sir Ernest unhesitatingly ac-
cords Wilkes Just credit for the real
discovery OF the preliminary proof Of
the existence Of a south polar CONT
nent- Another English author, DR..
Hugh Robert Mill, says that consider
ing the deplOrable conditions against
which he had to contend, both in the
seas without and the men within his
ships, Wilkes's voyage was one of the
finest pieces Of determined effort on
record With all OF this unfair treat
ment OF Wilkes, captain Ross was a
great explorer IL was he who located
the north and the south magnetic
poles.
