STARVING SCOTT PARTY
DIED OF EXHAUSTION

90 blow zero. The surface. unlike
that of the barrier. was soft and there
was no crust. IT was found that the
snow collected to great depths. 1t
Was not like the snow on the bar

ing. Ten photographs. which Captain
SCOTS party took at the pole, were
recovered and developed at Cape
Evans, as well as two photographs OF
Captain Amundsen's tent as Captain
Scott found 1t.
According 10 the story, the return
journey over the great Polar plateau
was marked by series of good
marches In medium weather with the
temperature averaging between 20
and so below zero. The length of
these marches. as far as the top of
the Boardmore glacier. varied. but
the maximum was about Is miles a
day There were two depots on the
plateau, One was at Ss.o5. close UNI
der Mount Darwin, and the other at
$500 These were secured before the
descent of the Boardmore glacier
Lieutenant Bowers and DIR. Wilson,
of the Scott party. visited Buckley
Island. large crest rock above the
snow at the top of the glaciers, and
spent some time in the collection of
fossil bearing sandstone as well as
coal in some quantities. 1t. may be
feeaffed that coal was found III the
glacier In 1908 by MIR. Wild, of the

Fossils Determine Age.
These fossils should finally settle
the age OF the latest sedimentary del
posits vet found in Victoria Land
They are certainly the best that have
yet been obtained in this section
Leaving Buckley Island, and going
down the glacier the party passed
Mount Kinsey, which Is magnificent
Dolerite peak. 1900 feet high. and
proved to be an admirable point from
which to take bearings from. They
reached small depot below Cloud
maker mountain. and stopped for
geological investigations from the side
of this mountain. There they found
fossils of much greater age In the
limestone, and got q total OF thirty
five pounds of geological specimens,
which were carefully packed up and
taken by the party right up to the
last camp. 1t may be recalled that
In the original story il was stated that
these specimens were nevis a. the pos
session OF the expedition.
In the march from Cloudmaker
mountain to the foot of the glacier,
the surfaces encountered were the
same. They found the same deep
snow as on the way up. and this Sc
verely hampefed their march.
Throughout the descent the weather
was extraordinarily thick. SNOW fall

land being visible only on rare occa-
sions.

Uncle Joe's ReniX.

Some members OF the house heard
few days ago the strangest combi.
nation of sacred and profane language
which had ever been uttered on that
floor. During debate Uncle Joe Can
non went after A. Mitchell Palmer of
Pennsylvania, and handled him with.
out gloves. Cannon is a Quaker and
so is Palmer When conversing pri-
vately they drop into the Quaker ver-
nacular. After the debate Palmer
went to the former speaker, who is
thirty,six years older than himself.
Uncle Joe" he said, 'thee treated
me a little roughly in the debate to-
day."
We'll" replied Uncle Joe, in a mix
ture of Quaker and CannoGian Eng
lish, perhaps I did treat thee a little
severely, but blankety-blank, thou de-
served every damned thing l said"

secret Of influence.

Force, fervor, intensity-these are
the qualities which have given their
power to great leaders In all the
movements by which the world has
been swayed. Sometimes they have
been present in men who left so little
written memorial or whose efforts
were foiled by adverse circumstances
that We can note only the fact that
they must have been remarkable be-
cause their contemporaries admired
and followed them. They possessed
the secret of influence, though we can
not tell how they manifested 1t. They
are among the riddles of history

FIRST OF ANIMAL HOSPITALS
More Than 1000 Years Ago One Was
Established In India, Says
an Authority.

The New York women who have
opened a free animal dispensary in
this city are regarded as pioneers in a
good work. AS a matter of fact one
must go to the Orient and look back
more than 1000 years to find the first
animal hospital known.
The famous Buddhist emperor of In
dia, Asoka, whose long reign from 264
10 227 B. c. abounded in many good
works, was probably the earliest to
establish a hospital for the treatment
Of animals, says Our Dumb Animals.
Asoka was true humanitarian as
well as a most powerful sovereign and
although ruling a vast domain be-
came deeply impressed by the horrors
Of warfare.
He gave up his desire for conquest
and the rock inscriptions, which are
still eXtant, record such beneficent
edicts Of his as the counseling Of
planting shade trees, the digging Of
wells, sending out of missionaries, ap-
pointment of special officers to super
wise charities, the establishing of hos
pitals for human kind and animals
1t is of interest to know that the
last remaining of Asoka's hospitals
was devoted to animals. 1t covered
twenty-five acres and was divided into
proper wards and courts for the ac-
commodation Of the patients. When
an animal was sick or injured its
master had only to bring it to the hos.
pital, where 1t was cared for without
regard to the caste of its owner, and
where, if necessary, 1t found an asy-
lum in old age.

Stars That Give Little Light.

Scattered through space are in
Vulnerable stars that give forth very
little light or heat Either they We're
never. at any period of their history,
bright and glowing like the myriad
stars that make the midnight sky so
beautiful, or in the course of countless
ages the heat they once possessed has
radiated away from them into the
depth Of space, and now they are, as
their name describes them, dark
stars"

ProvIdence In Human Affairs.

If great change is to be made in
human affairs, the minds of men will
be fitted to 1t, the general opinions
and feelings will draw that way. Ev-
cry fear every hope, will forward it;
and then they who persist in oppos-
Ing this mighty current in human af-
fairs will appear rather to resist the
DEGREES of Providence itself than the
DEGREES of men.-Edmund Burke.

SAYS THE OWL

No man becomes a jailbird for a
lark.
The door of adversely Is never
locked.
II is the doing. not the saying. thai
makes the hero.
The proof of the buffer is in his
failure to make good
II is not necessarily true that the
worst is yet to come.
The man who pleases only himself
has to supply the applause.
The man who lives twice as fast as
he should is apt to see double.
The more style some people put on
the more collectors they put Off.
Sidetrack fair weather friends by
saving your money for rainy day.
II is good policy to look ahead II
you are headed in the wrong direction.
1t takes a busy man to see through
a joke and recognize the idiot be-

do better in a city.

Their Names Aaalnst Them.

We are believed to believe that An
anias left no descendants, but there
were peoNe so like him as to bear
the name Of Anania, or again Ananian.
Their descendants have to bear the
brunt of ancestral duplicity. So, Mr..
Anacreonte may perhaps trace his de-
scent back to the sweet Greek sing
er of women and wine. Not unlike
ly, as his greatest poetic brother, Pin
dar, also has sons.

Printing in China.

II reports are to be relied on, they
had the art of printing in China "2,400
years ago." 1t was block printing,
however, though 1t is said that they
had something very like movable type
in the middle of the tenth century.
There may be some doubt as to the ex-
act period, but there is no room for
questioning the fact that for many
centuries before it was known in Eu-
rope the art was we'll known in China.

Wood for Lead Pencils.

The annual output of lead pencils
in this country is more 32O,00O,0OO.
The cedar wood is used in making
them weigh about 100000 tons, and
nearly three-fourths of cents worth
of wood is required for each pencil.
No other wood is so good for the pur-
pose, and the timber is becoming
scarce. Old cedar planks and fence
rails now find ready sale.
