Shackleton Will Have Sledges Drawn

London.-The keenest interest is felt
in the news that Sir Ernest III. Shack
Teton, who already has written his
name indelibly on the antarctic roll of
fame, is about to lead another British
expedition TO the south pole. The
main object of the expedition will be
to cross the antarctic continent from
sea to sea, making the south pole the
halfway house on the great journey
and thus ut one stroke recover for
Britain the prestige and place in polar
exploration that were hers till four
years ago.
This will be the biggest polar journey
yet attempted and will open up in the
Weddell quadrant a vast unexplored
region which is still blank on the map.
1t is notable that no attempt to reach
the south pole has yet been made from
Weddell sea, the point of departure
for the new expedition. all other jour
neys having been made from Ross sea,
on the other side.
The distance from sea to sea that
will be covered is roughly l,70O stat
ute miles. of which more than one-half
will be over an entirely new route.

Washington least 10 per cent of

ANGRIER YOU GROW
SWEETER YOU BECOME
Professor Says Sour Nature Is
Happy Disposition.

Cambridge, Mass.--Get angry and be
sweet. This is the whole secret. and
the students of the Harvard Medical
school are doing their best to explain
the paradox. 1t was explained to them
by Professor w. b. Cameron here in a
lecture, just how a real sour nature"
is really a sweet one and how a sweet
tempered man has a sour disposition.
Professor Cameron explained it all
in his lecture on Bodily Effects of
Fear and Rage" and the point of his
talk was that the angrier man gets
the sweeter he really is.
According to Professor Cameron,
when a man gets really angry and
wants to kick things around, his stom-
ach and intestines so on strike with
his temper. There is a cessation of
the flow of gastric juice and at once
begins an increased flow of the secre-
tons of the adrenal gland
At the same time the blood becomes
thicker and begins to clot, and the
amount of sugar in the system is
thereby increased by the general com
plication. This is beneficial to the
man who has let his temper get the
better of him. and the angrier he gets
the better it is. When he gets over
the spell he is in better physical shape
than before the antagonistic mood
came on
Professor Cameron said that he had
discovered the sweetening of human
ity during anger through years OF ex-
periments and that he found also in
his researches that Fear and Rage"
| were just as evident and much the
same in their effects upon dogs and
cats as with human beings. \ rays,
he said. had great deal to do with
| aiding him in discovering that the
sweetness of anger was not fallacy.
| Hence the students who declare they
understood all that he lectured about

A Hundred Pound Sturgeon Pulls Boat
to Camp.


Boise, Ida.-Lashing a 100 pound
sturgeon to a raft when he found it
too heavy to carry and forcing the big
member of the finny tribe to haul him
into camp, where later the sturgeon
was served up to a crew of hungry
men, is the latest fish story that has
reached Boise. 1t was brought to this
city by Frank Maxwell. an engineer
of the forest service with headquarters
in Boise.
A large crew of men is stationed at
the OK Bow tunnel on the Snake river
between Idaho and Oregon. A rancher
named Mcpherson notified the foreman
in charge of the camp that IL he would
send some Of his men up he would give
him Ash. Thinking that one man
could manage single fish without
trouble. the foreman sent one of bis
Austrian laborers after 1t. When he
arrived at the Mcpherson ranch, how
ever. the Austrian found the sturgeon.
AS the fish was still alive the Aus
trian built raft from logs, leaving
an opening in the middle for the fish
to swim. and then lashed the sturgeon
securely to the raft. Pushing the craft
from the shore. he allowed the fish to
propel him into camp. several miles
below. A fish menu was served at the
camp that night
