But the hideous sea-mammals
that flock around the island, and
crawl out upon it's shores, are
even more suggestive Of a worl6

The penguins also yield an Gn

boiling works that have been
erected for that purpose. Except
the oil-seekers the island has no
human inhabitants.

TF you stand at the North Pole
you can look in only one di-
rection-south. No matter
how you may twist around on
your heels, it is always toward
the South that your eyes are di-
rected. North, as a terrestrial
direction, has vanished. You have
arrived at the end of the north.
You are where it lives" Or else
we may say that north has sud
denly sprung into the sky, and is
now at an unattainable distance
directly over your head. A mo-
ment before your foot touched
the pole north was straight ahead
of you, and you had all the four
cardinal points to choose from
east, west, north and south. Now
three of them have vanished, and
south alone remains. The re-
verse is true at the South Pole,
where all directions on the earth's
surface are alike north.

a picture Of the marvellous sur
roundings amid which some re-
markable creatures dwell,
A Favorite Resort.
They are inhabitants Of the
ends Of the earth, and partieD-
larly of the southern, or antarctic
end. These queer animals were
found at Macquarie Island. which
lies southwest of New Zealand, ana
about halfway from Australia to
the Antarctic Continent. This
lone island, lying in the deep Sea
that guards the great polar con-
tinent, has been made a subsi6-
larry base for the Mawson AntaFc-
ii cexplorfng expedition, and a
wireless telegraph station has
been established there. which IS
in communication with Australia
on one side and the wild shores
Of the Antarctic on The other.
The island appears to be IA
vorite resort of the animal spe-
cies that characterize the south
polar continent and its surround
ing waters They absolutely
swarm there. They are astound-
ing by their numbers and their
strange forms and habits. Vast
areas of ground are occupied by
the rookeries of those singular
birds called penguins, which when
seen at a little distance mimic
human beings with their erect
carriage and their apparel of
feathers, which resembles a dis
play of white vests and black
coats. Huge albatrosses also
abound.

BIG TINS" ASSETS
CALLED ELUSIVE
Far Easier to Find Liabilities,

An intimation that the estate Of Big

Of the estate. The latter are half
brother and brother, respectively, Of the

The proceeding was in court on the
motion Of William Fox the theatrical
manager, who has a claim against the
Sullivan estate for about $4,000, and
who obtained an order directed 10 the
executors 10 show cause why they
should not be punished for not filing
their accounting as ordered. Counsel
for Fox said that creditors were clam
oring for payment, and yet Sullivan
and Mulligan make no effort to file an
inventory
Oliver b. Goldsmith, attorney for the
executors. told Surrogate Cohalan that
the executors had trouble in finding the
assets. 1T is far easier to find the
liabilities than the assets" said the at
torney. Some of the assets, he added,
have deteriorated so that the present
value cannot easily be determined. Sur
rogate Cohalan gave the executors an
extension Of two weeks TO file their

ALMOST EXPECTED ATTACK,
MAYOR TELLS PRESS CLUB
Mr. Mitchell Cool in Speech After Attempt Life, Says
Such Peril Goes with Ofce-Shoes Lucky
Talsman That He Wore When Shot At

Mayor Mitchell, with a jaw Of steel
and totally unlike man who had
escaped a funeral in tho afternoon, told
the members Of the Press Club last
night that his experience earlier in the
day was one Of the hazards that went
with his office, at the same time won
dering why such a thing should be pos
slble.
He expressed the greatest concern FOR
Frank L. Polk. who had received the
bullet intended for the Mayor. and said
he was glad to say that the Corpora
ton Counsers injury was not serious,
but painful, and that he would be laid
up for not more than a month.
Despite his experience in the after
noon, Mayor Mitchell discussed some OF
the big problems the city was up
against and pleaded for genuine horne
rule
After his speech the Mayor showed a
little gold frog which had been pre-
sented to him in Costa Rica.
"Well. here's my lucky talisman," he
smiled. Il guess this is what saved my
life"

Thank God the Mayor is with us!"

ards remarks were echoed by Talcott

"The experience Of this afternoon is,
Of course, one to impress itself on any
mans mind. l said, in answer to a
question put TO me by one of the rep
resentatives Of the press at the City
Hall, that / had been almost expecting
some such thing; not because 1 had
any reason to expect it, not because
there is any reason why such a thing
should happen in a civilized commu-
nifty ordered by laws. as is ours, but
because l know that life in a democ-
racy, where there is progress, where
new things are being established, is
more or less of battle, and in a bat
tie almost anything is likely to happen.
And in a community as great as is
New York, as complex as is New York,
as cosmopolitan as is New York, there
are always a few unfortunate, dlsor-
dered minds that find expression for
their illogical thought in such acts as
that Of this afternoon.

when the Mexieans salute the American

The reply, il is said, was unfaVorahle
TO an early adjustment Of the situation.
The matter was considered tonight at
a Cabinet meeting which lasted three
hours.
Sefor Portillo, the Foreign Minister,
said before the meeting that he was
confident the controversy between Mex

amicably settled in the negous tions
between Nelson O'Shaughnessy and the
Huerta government
The minister added that his govern

the United States IN response TO the
Mexican salute Of the American flag
as a tacit recognition Of the Huerta
administration.

devoutly thank God tonight for the
escape Of my good friend, that splendid
fellow, one of the very best whom l
have known, Frank Polk (Applause),
and that the assurance had from his
surgeon when 1 left the hospital late
this evening that the wound, while it

1T was suggested. I know, when that
thing happened-in fact, there seems to
be some basis for believing-that II was
the act Of individuals, or OF several who
were in concert, and some people aske
me II thought that It was the resul.
Of any concerted plan by any group in
the community. Now, am very glad
TO be able to believe, and believe conf
dently. that we have not come to the
point in this city or in this country,
and that we never will, where things OF
that kind are the result Of concerted
action by any group. We have not
plots, we have not nihilism in this
country.
when such a thing as that does
happen it is the product Of the dis
ordered brain of some unfortunate in
dividual, as was that this afternoon
the man who does not think straight,
who warps the facts that he partly
gathers from the daily press in re-
cording the action of government.
Il say am happy to believe that we
have not come TO that point in this
community, and it is for us who are
charged with the duty Of conducting
the government TO see that we shall
not come to that point; to say that the
people of the city had the opportunity
for the free expression of their own
ideas; to use the language Of Mayor
Gaynor, that they are not bottled up,
that they have ample opportunity to
express themselves, so that they keep
within bounds Of the law, and that
they do no violence against persons or
against property.
And l believe that honest govern
ment on the part of public officials is
the best guarantee that we never will
come to time where we have TO fear
that such accidents are the result OF
any concerted action on the part of any
group in the community"

over pieces OF wagon and remains Of
supplies that some one had evidently
been bringing back from Passaic late
at night.

looked for some trace of a human body

It is supposed that the man, Louis
Marchenso, n well to do farmer of
Garfield, dozed as his horse hauled him
over the crossing as the speeding loco
motive reached it, The end was quick.
The horse was thrown some distance
from the crossing. The wagon was re-
