DARK CORNISH.

The Dark Cornish, formerly called the
Cornish Indian Game, originated in the
county of Cornwall, Wales, where it is
largely bred. From there it spread over
the British empire, and later to the Unit
ed States.
Statements regarding the origin of this
fowl are very conflicting. AT one time IT
was maintained that the breed was a di-
rect importation from the East Indies.
This probably was due to it's resemblance
To one Of its prOgentors, the Aseel Game,
which is of Asiatic origin However, the
consensus of opinion leans toward a cross
of the Aseel on old English Game. 1t has
been used extensively for crossing with
other varieties to obtain fne-graned,
heavy-meated table poultry, and is itself
included in the ancestry Of some of our
popular American breeds.
The Dark Cornish was extremely popu-
lar in America about 20 wears ago. its
plump breast and rich yellow skin max
ing it desirable and attractive addition

London. June IA further message
to-day from Lieut.. Sir Ernest Shackle-
ton. the Antartic explorer, whose arrival
at Port Stanley. Falkland islands, was
made known yesterday, shows that the
expedition had a remarkable escape,
After meeting with almost unprecedent-
ed weather in the early part of 1915, the
ieutenant's ship Endurance was badly
nipped by great icebergs and afterwards
foundered.
Sir Ernest succeeded in getting OF all
his men and some stores. Terrible pri-
vations We're suffered. After a most
hazardous journey the explorer reached
Elephant island. Tho scarcity OF food
became SO serious that he decided to
leave the greater part of his men while
he set off for help Rations for the men
left behind We're stored in hole dug in
the ice
1 After n journey Of three weeks such
as probably Is unique in the annals of
Antartc expeditions, Sir Ernest reached
South Georgia. Here he sought the
assistance of whalers for the rescue o!
the party on Elephant island. but this
proved to be impossible owing to the
prevalence of unfavorable weather con
ditions,
The message says there is urgent need
Of help for the marooned men.
