him-the face, and particularly the eye. Looks that are directed tow ard his eyes and meet his own gaze seem to him unbearable. They pro- duce usually feeling of suffocation. The natural consequence of this nervous unrest and fear is that the person who feels it takes care never to meet the look of another if he can help it. Illusions begin to come. One such patient sees always, even with lids closed, an eye gazing at him sternly.

"HE belief in the existence of
 "the evil eye"-that is, per A sons whose eyes can com- municate with their glance misfor; tune and death-is well nigh world wide. It has formed the basis of scores of legends and stories and has persisted for ages. Charms to avert the "evil eye" still find as ready a sale today as they did in Europe 2,OOO years ago.

the great ice barrier which marks most of Antarctica's coastline, he will establish his main base on the coast whereabouts and set off on his long sledge journey which, if all goes we'll will carry him across the pole and along Scott's route to Ross Sea-and home.
 From his base on the coast of We'd dell Sea to the pole he will have to cross territory that is absolutely un- known and which may present in superable difficulties. Hence Shacllle- tons unusually elaborate equipment and preparations. In case he cannot make. the polar plateau he must re- turn the way he came. But having reached the pole the remaining diff culties are all known and charted. Amundsen overcame them, and Scott doubtless would have done so but for

where he lay in his s1eeping bag. The last entry in the diary bore the date of March %, 1912. All the world has read it, with the final line under the signatures:
 For Gods sake look after our people,
 How England has looked after those dependent upon Captain Scott and those who died with him is his tory. The country has made hero of Scott as it did of Lord Nelson. A great monument in Trafalgaa <Square, not far from that to Lord Nelson, is planned for him.
 But Shackleton will not disturb the. perpetually frozen tomb of Scott. After fully considering the matter the explorers relatives and the British Government agreed that his most appropriate burial place was on this spot where he died so courage ously after contributing so brilliantly to the glory of his country.
 So the Shackleton party will salute that wooden cross and proceed on their journey homeward. From Ill miles of the pole to his base in Nc Murdo Sound Shackleton is familiar with every foot of the route. 1t was he who established that highest south in 1907, and he held the record until Amundsen covered the remain ing distance and located the pole on December IT, not quite three years ago
 Beside the other innovations al- ready mentioned, Shackleton carries a steam cooking plant, a hot cup board for drying soaked clothing and new kind of food higher in heat producing properties than any other ever carried into polar regions.
 The fate of Scott and his party shows how important it is to keep up the strength and spirits of men un- dertaking such toilsome and pro- tracted tasks in a temperature so low. One of the greatest drawbacks has been the impossibility of thor oughly drying out clothing which be- comes coated with ice during the days march and sodden when thawed out. The hot drying closet will enable the men to begin each march comfortably in warm, dry clothes.
 The expedition contains the usual scientific departments, each with a competent authority at its head. The geologist will be much interested in the mysteries which the mountains extending inlan from Graham Land contain and in further investigations of the various mineral deposits pe- culiar to the Antarctic continent.
 But the main purpose of this ex- pedition-which the British Govern ment considered of so much im- portance that it would not accept Sir Ernest's offer to stay at home and help fight the Germans-is explora- tion of practically the only remaining unknown land surface of the earth.

indents it. For here begins "a range of mountains which is unbroken for three quarters of the distance to the pole, the pole itself being the centre of a nearly level, broad and lofty plateau.
 Scott, sledging to and returning from the pole, travelled along the eastern slope of this range, which merged into the polar plateau at about the eight. fifth parallel. At this point both Scott and Amundsen passed to the westward of other mountains. These are believed to be the continuation of the range which is finally swallowed by the ocean where the long point of Graham Land juts into it. To reach Weddell Sea Shackleton has to sail around this point.
 Having found a suitable break ill

practise will be one of the very in- teresting bits of information which this expedition is expected to yield.
 Wireless telegraph outfits make an other novel feature of the current lShackleton expedition. Although the route which Sir Ernest purposes to take across the Antarctic continent has length of about 800 miles, he expects to be within range of wire less communication with one or the other of his two ships throughout the entire sledge journey. In case of un- foreseen difficulties or accidents he will thus be able to summon a relief party at any stage of the journey; also to enable civilization to get oc- casional news from the exploring party.
 This expedition is also equipped with a novel means of getting quickly into comfortable sleeping quarters while on the march, or of protecting the party from exposure to sudden blizzards, which are characteristic of south polar regions. The usual method is to construct "igloos' of blocks of snow crust an operation consuming considerable time. To do away with this waste of time the Shacllleton party will carry collapsi- ble frameworks of sticks and canvas which are set up in minute or two, and which in a few more minutes can be made snug with thick covering of snow. When this impromptu .'igloo" has served its purpose sturdy kick or two will send the snow walls flying. The framework is then packed for use a1 the next camping place.
 While Shackleton and the main ex- petition are sailing south from Buenos Aires his other ship is en route from New Zealand. nearly due south, to Ross Sea to establish the base on the coast of the Antarctic continent where it is deeply indented by McAIurdo Sound. It is from this neighborhood that all previous south polar exploring parties have started on their sledge journeys, but where this time Shackleton's will end. The party in charge of this base will de- vote the coming Antarctic Summer fO aynpditions inland toward the pole, for the purpose of establishing several supply depots along the route of Shackleton's return after attacking

 As told in Scott's diary, Lieutenant Oates. knowing himself unable to travel further, had gallantly rid his companions of the burden of caring for him by wandering off in the blizzard to die. Petty Officer Evans was already dead. The other two, Dr. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers, were found in the tent with Scott toward his base at McMurdo Sound, three corpses frozen solid.

The Chances We Miss.

Some one has called Louisiana
the LAND of lost opportunities
1t is not a pleasing thing to have
said about the state where one
lives. 1t carries a hint of some
thing quite essential missing from
the temper and the purpose of the
people who inhabit it.
Yet there is more than a COM
mon measure of truth when it is
said of this state. The wealth of
the timber land has been reaped
largely if not entirely by others
than Louisianians. The levee
boards and the schools sacrificed
for handful of pence a veritable
empire in lands-anG frittered
away the pence while the purchase
ers have cashed in unnumbered
millions as a result of their far
sighted investments. The oil, the
sulphur the gas-the dividends
therefrom are going largely to
other cities and other states.
Why9
Why do the cramped valleys
and barren uplands of some regions
support vigorous, earnest, busy
people who build thrifty, prosper
Gus cities and IN turn 90 out to
seize opportunity elsewhere while
the wide stretching, fertile reaches
of other aegions remain half titled,
half-used inhabited by a people
that sits and sits and wonders why
some one ELSE does not bring 1t
wealth.
Perhaps it is because the very
difficulties in the sterner land
stimulates to quicker effort and
!seener eyes. Perhaps because in
the pleasant ease of the kinder
regions life requires too little eff
fort to keep mems minds attuned
to sense opportunity when it
comes.
