No feature of the early Quaker move

taken by women of all classes and pO-

LARGEST KNOWN ICE CAVE.
Wonders of the Frozen Grotto In the
Dachstein Mountains.

Wonders of the Frozen Grotto In the
Dachstein Mountains.
A few years ago some members of
the Austrian Sociological society dis
covered in the Dachstein mountains
some caverns which are among the
largest in Europe. One of these grot-
toes, the longitudinal axis of which is
fully $500 feet long, moreover turned
out to offer additional interest by its
truly enormous ice masses and was
found to be the largest known ice cave
in the world.
Though a scorching sun may be
burning outside on the bare mountain
rock, there is always an icy wind
blowing through this underworld,
freezing everything within it's reach.
Only sometimes, when the outside
temperature ranges between 80 and
Al degrees G. and comparatively
warm rain penetrates through the fis-
sures of the rock, entering right into
the cavern. will there be temporary
calm and distinct melting of the ice.
The Dachstein ice cave comprises
several domes filed with ice, which
communicate with one another through
number of frozen galleries. An ice
crevice SO feet deep and 116 feet in
width traverses the floor Of the cavern
165 feet from the entrance. Gigantic
ice pillars were found to tower on
both edges of this chasm, in the depth

bell, upon which several persons ran to the
Church, and there found that, what would
have been a terrible fire, was just averted.
Revd. Cover, during choir practice, in pass
ing along the Organ accidentally knocked
one of the si~de-lamps out of the socket, and
upon Mr.. Layman rushing to give assistance,
he knocked the other out also, and both
started to blaze; a cushion was thrown upon
it, but that did not help; upon seeing this Mr..
Kenneth Henderson started to ring the bell
in order 10 summons aid, which arrived
shortly after, but happy to say. found Mr..
Henderson just finished outing the burning
cushion. The Fire Brigade with two ell
gines arrived also but finding that they
were not necessary, returned home again

KILOGRAMS
ST. CROIX STATION.

London, Feb. l5th-Captain SCOTS re-
cords show that they had marched twelve
miles daily towards the Pole, which was 1876
miles from where commander Evans left
them. When the theodolite showed eighty
nine, fifty nine, and a half degrees, they
marched the remaining half mile and plant
ed the Union Jack, and finding Captain
Amundsen's tracks they followed them to
the cairn erected by him, where they took
ten photographs. They were hampered on
the return journey by seaman Evans, who be-
came insane. He had sometimes to be res
trained and would not work, and he finally
collapsed and had to be carried on a sledge,
from which he fell and fractured his skull,
dying naturally, after the entire party had
deliberately risked their own safety for him.
Further progress became difficult and there
was an unexplained shortage of supplies in
the depots provided for their return. Com
manoer Evans found Captain Scott within the
tent, which was we'll erected. There was no
food and only a little tea. Wilson and Be-
wers were within their sleeping bags, but
Captain Scott was sitting against the pole of
the tent and, with his last strength, had plac-
ed his diary between his head and the
pole. The rescuers agreed it was better
70 leave them there, and they erected a
cairn with records which will remain dis
,coverable for ages. Surgeon Atkinson
attests that they were free from sour
Wy, showing that they could have saved
themselves if they had abandoned seaman
Evans and Captain Oates. A similar cairn
was erected over Captain Oates's probable
place of death. The reticence over unex-
planned incidents continues, evidently in
consequence Of friction between Comman-
der Evans and Surgeon Atkinson. 1t is
believed Captain Scott might bave been res
cued if Surgeon Atkinson's relief party had
been more strenuous in March 1912, instead
of turning back about the time and place of
captain Scott's dying. Neither Commander
Evans nor Surgeon Atkinson will explain
now.
No newspaper fund is commensurate with
the depth of the feelings of the public, and
there is some impatience with the Govern
ment's delay i'll fulfilling Mr.. Asquith's de-
c~laration regarding its duty and intention.

solemn memorial service than that held for
