Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 21, 1892.
The South Pole Next,
Antarctic Discovery Begun by Dundee Whalers.
There sailed from the northern part
of Dundee on the 6th instant two of
a small fleet of our whaling vessels—
the other two sailed on the 8th—the
fate of which will be followed with
considerable interest. Their mission,
it is true, is mainly a commercial and
. prosaic one, but there are circumstan-
ces surrounding it which invest it with
something of the halo of romance.
The vessels arenot bound for the icy
waters of the north, which, within
certain well-defined limits at all events,
are fairly familiar to many hardy
mariners-
Their destination is the Antarctic
seas, a region of the globe to which
there still clings much of the mystery
and fascination which ever belongs to
* the unknown. The voyage may, in-
deed, be said to be almost entirely
one of discovery, and itis this fact
which has attracted so much attention
to the departure of the four Dundee
whalers, and which will cause many,
both in this country and elsewhere, to
look with more than usual anxiety for
their safe return.
For a number of years past the in-
dustry associated with the shores of
Greenland, and which at one time was
of considerable importance, has been
stegdily on the decline. There was
much capital invested in it, but latter-
ly there has been a little or no return,
and often there has been a very serious
loss. Enterprise, however, knows no
limits, and if it cannot find scope in
one part of the world it sets off in
search of it in another. It is only in
accordance with the fitness of things
that this latest expedition to “new
ground” thould have been fitted out
by British capital and be dominated by
British pluck. Men ex perienced, in
such matters believe that the harvest
which is now denied them in the far
North will be found in the South, and
should this opinion be confirmed the
discovery will be one of considerable
importance.
The strange thing is that serious at-
tention has never been directed to this
region before. Itis true that half a
century ago a London merchant did
make some sort of an attempt to ex-
plore, from a commercial poiut of view,
the Antarctic Ocean, and obtained from
the government of the day a grant of
the Auckland Islands, to the south of
New Zealand, as a basis of operations;
but his first attempt proved a failure,
and he never made another. What-
ever may be the ultimate result of the
present expedition, it will certaily not
be abandoned till every effort has been
made that can be made to insure its
success,
The great silent sea into which the
four Dundee whalers will sail is, as we
have said, comparatively unexplored.
While towards the North Pole the
limits of the unknown have been push:
ed back considerable further than 80
degrees north latitude the South Polar
region within the Antarctic circle is,
with certain small exceptions, still a
blank on the world’s map. Sir John
Ross half a century ago carried out
perhaps the most systematic examina:
tion of the expanse that has yet been
made, but the Challenger during the
famous cruise only just crossed the
Antarctic circle, so that there is still
ample opportunity for the wrest:
ing of some of nature’s secrets from
their hiding-places in the vast icefields
of the south. The area selected as the
destination of the whalers lies between
the meridian of Greenwich and longi-
tude 90 degrees west. It is accessi-
ble from this country by a direct route
lying between the continents of Ameri-
ca and Africa of some seven thousand
miles in length. The vessels have been
equipped as steamers, but it is intend-
ed that most of the passage shall be
made under sail ; and with an average
speed of five knots an hour, the voyage
will, it is calculated, be accomplished
in two months. Four months will be
spent in endeavoring to complete car-
goes, and the vessels expect to reach
home again about the month of May.
Each ship will carry a crew of forty
men ; all the experinced navigators,
and the surgeons on board have been
supplied with instruments which will
enable them to record fully the results
of meteorological and magnetic obser-
vations, to take soundings, bring up
specimens of the sea bottom, collect
flora and fauna and so on. The ex-
pedition, therefore, has another and
more important interest than the com-
mercial one, and it is quite possible
that from a scientific point of view the
results may be of considerabl value.
1t is just possible, too, Antarctic ex-
ploration, which has been neglected
for some time, may receive a fresh im-
petus from the discoveries of the whal-
ers- In past years many British lives
have been lost in voyages of discovery
in icy seas, and some of the most fas-
cinating stories of British heroism cen-
tre round the same cheerless regions.
But nature there is still very far from
being an open book, and this further
attempt to throw a little fresh light on
its unread pages is hailed with the
gredtest satisfaction. Perhaps the
most flatering circumstance in connec:
tion with the expedition so far is the
fact that the enterprise of Dundee
ship-owners has stimulated representa-
tives of another nation into action. A
powerful steamer belonging to Nor:
wegian owners is also about to pro-
ceed to southern seas. And so the
shrinkage of the world goes on !— Pall
Mall Budget.

Delicious Maryland Biscuit.
Aunt Hannah’s pride was her old-fash-
ioned beaten or kneaded biscuit, and
‘this is her recipe: One quart of the
best flour, half a teaspoonful of salt,
four ounces of lard: rubbed thoroughly
into the flour. Mix with cold water just
as stiff as possible, so stiff that you feel
almost hopeless of ever doing anything
with it. Put it on a board and knead
until it is perfectly pliable and makes a
popping sound under your hands from
the air bubbles breaking in it and until
you can pull itdownin long, thin strips,
These tests are infalible, but you have
to knead hard and long before the dough
will answer to them. When it does
you can make the biscuit. Break off
pieces about the size of an egg, mould
them into round balls ' and roil three-
quarters of an inch thick with a rooling
pin. Stick through and through five or
six times with a fork. The oven must
be well heated, but not too hot, or they
will be overdone in the middle and all
of their excellence ruined. They will
cook in twenty minutes if ithe oven: is
properly heated. A quart of flour makes
twenty-four bisquit of ordinary size.

HEEKS A RAW SORE
LITTLE BOY'S SUFFERING FROM ECZE
MA. GREW WORSE UNDER 3 DOC-
TORS. CURED BY CUTICURA.
For one year my little boy was troubled with
eczema. After trying three eminent physi-
cians, the disease grew worse; both cheeks
became a raw sore. Then spots began to
break out on his body; and I am of an opinion
that if I had not tried Cuticura Remedies my
boy would to-day have been covered from
head to foot with the terribte disease. After
using the remedies for two months, he was
entirely cured, and is now as fair as any boy.
I send you this testimonial, in hopes some
poor afilicted one may see this cure and ob-
tain Cuticura Remedies at once,
