and PARTY IN DOUBT
Damage to Relief Ship Aurora
Leaves Explorers Stranded
In Antarctic.

London. March pa wireless mes
sage from the auxiliary ship, Aurora,
of the shackleton Antartic exposition
was received in London yesterday. The
Aurora at the time the message was
sent was in the far south Pacific. The
wireless said the steamer had been
damaged and was proceeding to New
Zealand for repairs.
The fate of Lieut.. Sir Ernest
%Shackleton and the party which had
set out to cross the south pole is not
known.
Apparently attempts had been made
to send the wireless for several months
blu it had just been received at the
New Zealand station, which forwarded
it to England. The message was sent
by a member of the staff of the Aurora
which went from Australia to Ross sea
at tn end of 1914 for the purpose OF
bringing back Shackleton's party when
they had crosseA the south polar con-
tinent.
The news as received in London
leaves the world completely in the
dark as to the doings or whereabouts
Of Lieutenant Shackleton and his i'm
mediate party. If they had carried
out this program they o would be
presumably at the Ross sea base, but
without the expected ship to take
them.

Cuban Jute Substitute.

Malva fiber, the new Cuban substi-
tute for jute, is a product of malva
blanca (Urena lobata), a large and
troublesome weed. The report of Unit
ed States Special Agent Garrard Har-
ris shows that in the experiments Of
the last two years, the extraction has
been brought to a successful CONNER
cial stage; and the fiber, mixed with
jute, has been used for the soles of
cloth shoes, about twenty tons having
been sold last year at six cents a
pound. The hope of the process own-
ers is to make the material into the
100000 600 sugar sacks annually need
ed in Cuba. 1t is claimed that a 2R-'
pound sack of malva fiber can be
profitably marketed at Z to 10 cents,
while the normal cost of jute sacks is
16 to is cents each. the wartime price
having risen to % to 80 cents.
