ANTARCTIC REGION
IS ENTIRELY DEAD.
No Need For Further Expiora-
tion, Says Lancaster.

I LOndOn.-Further explOra ton within
1000 miles of the south pole will be
Of no scientific value, according to Sir
Ray Lancaster.
"There is no living thing on the ant
arctic continent" he says, excepting
the seals and the penguins and a few
other birds found on and near the
coast line and minute insect like the
30 called glacier flea. together with a
few animalcules living in pools formed
by the melting of ice in the brief sum-
mer and species of algae, MOSES, IL
chens and fungi"
Sir Ray, as director Of the Natural
History museum. had charge Of the
antarctic birds. etc., brought back
from the south polar continent by Cap
tain Scott's expedition on the Discov-
cry, and he has had official first hand
information as to the results of all the
explorations in that part of the globe.
Flowers would grow at the south
pole in summer if it were not for the
mountains there, according to Profess
sor Lancaster. It Is these mountains
that make the south pole so cold. The
south polar area is an elevated noun
famous land reaching $4,000 feet in
parts. covered with perpetual ice in
consequence Of the elevation. More
over, the antarctic continent is sur
rounded by the sea and is lifeless.
''There is vast area of land around
the north polar sea- said Dr. Ray,
(which is green with vegetation and
dotted with brilliantly colored flowers
In summer and yet is only 500 miles
distant from the north pole. In the
arctic region are seals. white bears.
walruses, foxes, wolves. musk oxen and
many small mammals and birds which
stray from the neighboring continental
lands. There is abundant vegetation
including Towering plants, which find
a growing place wherever land is ex-
posed. Sosfar as temperature con,
cerned, these flowers and plants would
grow at the north pole itself were
there any islands in that part of the
frozen polar sea. In contrast to the
low lying land around the north pole
the mountainous interior of Greenland
is of high elevation and covered with
perpetual ice and devoid of life.
s"The north pole is. in fact, a fair
weather zone. while. on the other hand
the antarctic land is swept at all times
Of the year by billiards. of exceptional
force and Duration
From the very beginning of life on
the earth, it is asserted, the south pole
has been an uninhabited region. No
animals ever lived there. The deepest
digging will disclose no bones Of ex.
tinct creatures. The antarctic cont.
nent is literally the only place on the
whole earth where silence and mystery
have existed from the first. It is re.
Earded as very doubtful if there are
any minerals near the south pole.

Fisk UNIVERSITY FACES CRISIS.

Noted Institution in Danger of Losing
Vast Sum-A Battle for Higher Edu-
cation Of Afro-American People CALI
ed to Help.
Fisk University, the most noted
Afro-American institution for higher
education, is facing a serious crisis in
its attempt to raise an endowment
fund. The institution was offered $780,
600 more than two years ago by the
General Education Board, on condition
that it raise $24O,0OO in addition, for
liquidation of accumulated indebted
ness Of about $4,000, for repairing and
refitting buildings, for the installation
of heating and lighting plant, and for
endowment. An amount of $500, 900
was to be raised, two-thirds of which
was to go for endowment. The insti-
tuition has run all these years, almost
entirely through the support, from
year to year, Of white friends in the
North.
About two hundred of these white
friends have contributed toward the
present endowment effort, but the total
amount given leaves $104, 900 yet to be
raised. The time limit of the initial
offer of the General Education Board
expires June LIST and the University
authorities have no assurance that this
time limit will be extended.
The alumni are carrying on q loyal
rally; to raise $4,000 as their share
in the fund, but there will still remain

The Prospective Joys Of Matrimonial
Alliance and Join Hearts and Hands

The Good Book says that when the
Divine Creator had made man after
His own image, and declared that he
was good, He saw that it was not well
for man to live alone; so he formed
something just little better which
He called woman, who was to be an
helpmeet unto man. So, ever since,
the days Of Adam and Eve, men and
women have been following their ex-
ample and mating. And, though the
custom Of marrying has been so uni
versal, it never fails to attract consid-
cradle interest in the communities in
which the couples with the matri-
monial bees in their bonnets reside.
Therefore it is not the least bit sur
prlslng that when Mr.. and Mrs. James
Edward Glass issued invitations to the
wedding of their daughter, Miss Eu-
nice Esther and Mr.. James Homer
