CANNING FIGS

Decidedly the incest way to pre-
serve figs is to make preserves of
them. Wash the figs carefully, and
then weigh them. To one pound of
figs allow one pound of sugar Place
the figs and sugar in alarge vessel
and cover figs with water, Allow them
to boil until the figs are thoroughly
done, and then the sugar water strings
as icing. AS soon as it forms thread
when dropped from a spoon, remove
from fire and store Immediately in
in jars as you would any other can
ned fruit Some people like lemon
cut in slices and cooked with the
the preserves Thiss adds a tart flovor
and looks pretty in the jars. When
you pour the boiling liquid into the
jars, if you place a sterling silver
tablespoon in the jar the hot syrup
will not crack it-Southern Ruralist.

American Sailor Is
First to DISCOVER
Antarctic Continent

z 30 81 oi have IN more tilan
one instance proven. while following
their pursuits, to be explorers Of the
first magnitude.
This fact is recalled in the case OF
Capt Nathaniel b. Palmer. native OF
Stonington, Conn, port that once
supported prosperous feet OF mer-
chant vessels.
Captaln Palmer, when twenty years
old, discovered the Antarctic continent.
Today Captain Palmer's old home in

still he name OF Palmer, is perpetual

turning out ships for the new merchant
marine, under the construction pro
gram of the United States shipping
board
Captain Palmer was an active,
strong, aggressive character. When as
a lad of eighteen he made voyage on
the brig HersIlia as second mate, ii
Glanced that he was landed at the
Falkland islands to kill wild bullocks
for meat, while his ship sailed away in
search Of an island Of which the Yam
kee captains had heard vague stories,
but had never seen.
IN the absence Of the Hersilia an Ar
gentne vessel, the Espirito Santo,
touched at the Falklands for water.
Her captain told young Palmer that he
was bound for a place where there
were thousands of seals.
The Argentine smiled away before
the Herslia came back; but on his
vessels return. young Palmer insisted
that she put after the Espirito Santo,
in hope OF finding the strange island.
This was done, and after many days
sailing the Yankee brig found not only
the vessel she had followed, but is
lands 10 that time unknown in North
America, the South Shetlands.
In 1921, Nathaniel Palmer, as COM
mander OF a Stonington sloOp. the
Hero, sailed again to the South Shet-
lands for seals. Finding the seals near
ly exterminated there, he sailed far
ther and farther in search of new seal
ing grounds. stopping only when he
sighted land not laid down on any
chart There were numerous islands,
and beyond them a wild coastline and
dim mountains,
One night the Hero lay becalmed in
a thick fog that enveloped her like a
blanket. After taking the deck at mid
night for the middle watch, Captain
Palmer was astonished when his man
at the helm struck one bell to hear the
sound repeated twice. The same thing
happened at two bells and so on
through the watch Superstition had
not left the seas In those days, and the
men of the watch deck were alarmed.
At seven bells the fog lifted little,
and two men-of-war were seen not
more than a mile away. After the
United States ensign was run up at
the main peak of the. Hero, one OF the
warships sent q boat alongside with an
from Commander Belling-
hansen Of the Russian navy for the
