THE COLUMBIAN,
NEAR TO SOUTH POLE
Borchgrerlnk's Record Broken by
"Discovery" Expedition.
Commander ftrott Snrrerdrd In Get
tin Three and One-Half Do
Vreea Farther Sooth Than
Norwegian Explorer.
The Morning, the relief vessel to the
British antarctic ship Discovery, ha
returned to Lyttelton, New Zealand,
and reports that she found the Dis
covery on January 23 in McMurdo bay,
Victoria Land. From the record of thei
expedition brought back it appears
that the Discovery, which left Lyttcl
town about Christmas, 1901, made Cape
Ad are on January 0, and coasted along
the great ice barrier which runs east
ward from Cape Crozier as far as longi
tude 152.30, where an extensive gla
cial land with lofty peaks was discov
ered. Returning westward, good win
ter quarters were found near Mounts
Erebus and Terror, and the ship was
frozen in on March 84. When winter
had passed sleighing began on Sep
tember 2, 1902, and a number of Bledg
Journeys were undertaken in various
directions, the most Important being
made by Commander Scott, Dr. Wil
son and Lieut. Rhacklcton, who trav
eled south until they reached latitude
82.17 and longitude 163 west, and es
tablished a world's record for the fur
theft point south. The trip was made
under very trying condition, and the
party had to drag the sledges back to
the ship, the dogs having died on the
the outward Journey. Lieut Shackle
ton burst a blood vessel in one of his
lungs, and almost died from exposure.
He returned on board the Morning. An
other party, which included Lieut.
Royds and Mr. Skelton, visited Mount
Terror, and traveled a.long the ice bar
rier, which is believed to be afloat,
though fed from the. land ice. Lieut.
Armitoge made a sledge Journey to
the westward, and attained an altitude
of 9,000 feet. On the return journey
he fell int o a crevasse, and if he had notl
been roped to the others would have

fallen 2,000 feet. Symptoms of scurvy
appeared among the men. on. the
sledge journeys, but disappeared on
their return to tbe ship. Though look
ing aged by the hard life and having
experienced some privation, owing to
pnrt of the supplies being bad, the of
ficers and crew of the Discovery looked
well and cheerful, and they have, de
termined to spend another winter
among the ice. The most important
geographical discovery made by the
expedition is that Victoria Land has
been found to extend at least as far
as latitude 83.20 south, and it is
thought that tbe greater part of that
region is a vast continent which
stretches away to the pole: in a sei-iea
of lofty mountains. The lowest tem
perature recorded by the expedition
was 62 degrees below zero.
Almost nothing ws known of the
south polar regions until 130 years ago,
when Capt. Cook circumnavigated the
earth in latitude 50 degrees, and proved
the absence of the "great southern
continent" which, until then, had been
supposed to exist. The antarctic cir
cle waa crossed for the first time by
Cook in 1773, when he succeeded in
penetrating to latitude 71 degrees ten
minutes, a record which was not
broken until 1822, when Weddell at
tained to latitude 74.15. In 1842 Sir
James Ros9 penetrated to latitude
78.10, and this remained the highest
southern point ever reached until
1900, when BoTchgrevink pushed hip
way to latitude 78.40, and constituted
another record, which has now been,
broken by Commander Scott, who suc
ceeded in getting three and a half de
gree further south, or to a point only
250 miles more distant from the south
pole than Nansen's furthest point waa
from the north pole.
Woman Has Money to Burn.
Mrs. Ann Law, of Spring street,
Trenton, N. J., cooked a 30-cent steak
the other morning with a roll of green
backs worth $300. Mtb. Law was go
ing to Philadelphia on a shopping tour
and drew $300 from the bank. She laid
the money, which was inclosed in on
envelope, on a table in the titling room.
She decided to breakfast on steak be
fore leaving home, and, gathering a
handful of paper, kindled a fire in the
kitchen stove. When the steak was
cooked it dawned on Mrs. Law's mind
that she had used the greenbacks for
kindling. She gathered the ashes and
took them to the mint in Philadel
phia to find out if she could get her
money buck.

BLOOMS BURG,
DIVORCE IN ROYAL FAMILIES.
The Hoane of Mesa Has a Uerd
That Waa Abhorred br
Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria disapproved very
strongly of morganatic marriages, al
most as much as she did of divorce,
and she dealt very peremptorily with
her son-in-law, the husband of her
favorite daughter, Alice of Hesse,
who took unto himself a morganatic
wifo shortly after the death of the
grand duchess.
This lady was the Grnfin Hutten
Szapska, with whom Duke Louis
lived only one week, so vehemently
did his mother-in-law let him hear
her mind on the subject, says London
Sketch.
The Hesse family, indeed, are some
what addicted to both divorce and
morganatic marriages.
Williclm - of Hesse was divorced
from Princess Klinbelh of Schaum-burg-Llppc;
and bis sister, Princess
Marin Augusta, divorced her cousin
husband, Prince von Ilesse-Phillip-stal,
very shortly after her marriage
to him.
A generation ago Prince Alexis
von Hesse, uncle of Ernst Louis, was
divorced by his wife for cruelty, as
he used to drag her about in the cor
ridors of his palace, Mon-Bijou, in
Berlin, by the hair.
While otit of the recent ancestors
of the family, Wilhclin Ernest Fred

WORLD'S PETROLEUM SUPPLY.
Scientist Declare That Deposits of
the Globe Are of Volranle
Origin.
E. Coste, the president of the Cana
dian Mining institute, recently read an
Interesting paper before that body,
says the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser, setting forth his reasons for
believing that the petroleum deposits
of the world are of volcanic origin. He
points out a number of facts which
render the theory at present generally
held by geologists that it has arisen
directly from the decomposition of or
ganic remains, animal and vegetable
untenable.
He calls attention to the fact that
no such process is at present under
way; that all organic decomposition of
animal matter is so rapid and com
plete that there is no opportunity for
the entombment of anything but
bones in sedimentary rocks; that as
the oil deposits of the lower silurinn
limestone of Ohio and other fields are
below the carboniferous beds and as
it is generally admitted by geologists
that previous to the latter age there
was very little vegetable life .on the
earth, these enormous deposits could
not have arisen from organic remains,
because there were few organisms at
that, time, and, finally, that if petrol
eum was due to the destructive distil
lation of coaL, there would now be no
coal beds, all having long ago been
transformed into petroleum and a
cokelike residue.
REAL BABY TALK.
What the Infant Thought FJxpreaaed
In Lana-nage Minna the
Gm-Gwoi,"
I am a baby, 11 months old, and near
ly worn-out already. Please let me
alone, said the infant, according to the
Smart Set.
I am not a prodigy, except to the ex
tent that, not having anything to say,
I don't talk. Two big persons claim to
be my parents why can't they let it
go at that? I have never denied the
charge. I haven't much data to go by,
but I don't think I am either a magi
cian, a learned pig or a virtuoso. I
don't hanker for applause; so it will
be an appreciated favor if you won't
put me through any parlor tricks.
If I have my wealthy old Uncle Ezra'B
nose, congratulate Uncle Ezra, but
don't blame, me. I may be a klepto
maniac, for all I know; but I can't
help it.
Don't rattle rattles at me they rat
tle me. Don't goo-goo and ootsie-koot-sle
at me. I can't understand it any
better than I can the English language.
The pain I have is not in my stomach,
but in my neck. I don't wart to be en
tertained or mystified or medicated or
applauded. And, if you don't want me
to grow up to be a hypochondriac, a
stamp (wllector, an awful example, a
ping pong enthusiast, or a misanthrope,
you just lemme be!
Yet Men Drink It.
A molecule of alcohol Is composed of
two atoms of carbon, six of hydrogen
and one of oxygen; so synthetical al
cohol is obtained by uniting these
atoms accordingly. For a long time
it has been known that by direct com
bination of carbon and hydrogen in the
electric arc, acetylene can be obtained'.
Suillcient hydrogen must be added to
the acetylene to produce ethylene, a
constituent of illuminating gas. In
combining water with the ethylene al
cohol is obtained. Thus, alcohol Is pro
duced in France without the employ-
, ment of vegetable matter.

Good Roads in Reach.
For Every Dollar Contributed
by the Township and County
The State will add Four Dollars
By the enactment of the new road
law the state has made it possible
for any township to have good roads,
and with the principal cost on the
shoulders of the state. Whenever
the people of a township are willing
to pay $i for good roads, the county
may be required to pay an equal
amount, nd the state will add $
for every $2 provided by the county
and township, and in addition fur
nish the help of the state highways
commissioner in making the roads.
There is hardly a township in
the state that cannot put up a Tew
hundred dollars for good roads. If
half the money that is wasted in
throwing mud on bad roads could
be made available for good roads,
along with what the state has ap
propriated, the highways of Penn
sylvania would be so much better
in three years that no further argu
ment would be needed in favor of
road making on sensible plans. The
state has put it in the power of any
township to couimeuce good road
making. It is the main road of the
township that costs the most money
to keep in repair. If the township
will start a petition for the improve
ment of the main road, and get it
once in shape, the annual cost for
repairs will be materially lessened
and each year money will be avail
able for improvement on other roads
until all are fit to travel at all sea
sons of the year. Concerted moves
should be started in every county
in Pennsylvania to put this law into
commission. It is the opportunity
of the rural neighborhood and its
earnest adoption by the townships
will change the whole character of
rural life. The township will now
determine whether they will have
good roads at the expense of the
state. Milton Record.
Oar Luxurious Navy-
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Rear Admiral' F. T. Bowles,
chief constructor of the navy, has
figured that the larger warships
carry about three hundred and fifty
tons of bath-tubs, radiators, ice
machines and other luxuries which
have no proper place in a battle
ship, lie points out that whereas
17 ward-room officers use one bath
tub the Admiral has two, one for
himself and one for a guest, used
about once a year; that is, the one
for the guest. The necessity for
avoiding the use of woodwork as
much as possible has also led to
the designing and installation of
mucn special metallic furniture and
other fixings tending to beautify
the officers' apartments. If these
luxuries were removed Admiral
Bowles believes that the radius of
action of every battleship would be
increased over 30 per cent by carry
ing 3SO tons instead.
It is something of a shock to find
that General von Waldersee's idea
ot making a campaign with a seven
roomed house and a bathtub has
permeated the American navy. But
now that Admiral Bowles has shown
the necessity for reform there can
be no doubt that his suggestions
win oe patriotically accepted ana
personal comfort sacrificed for
steaming capacity. It may even be
believed that if the matter is pre
sented in a proper light the 17
ward-room officers will allow the
Admiral and his guests to use their
bathtub when not engaged.

"Looping tho Loop" In an Automobilo A
rtature Out ot tho Orolaary Ring
Display and Menagerie.
Whether or not John Robinson
has incorporated "ten mammoth
shows" in his production, which open
ed Louisville'l circus season at the
Horse Show building yesterday, ,it is
enough to know that he has ut least
furnished the public with "one good
show "
Notwithstanding the fact that the
weather wai not ot a sort conducive
to circus going, there were two large
crowds in attendance at both perfor-
mances yesterday. An indoor circus
is a novelty to Louisvillians, hence
the weather is not taken into account
so long as the spectators have a roof
above them.
Those who saw John Robinson
offering yesterday are willing to attest
that he presents what is technically
known as a "true show." In other
words, he shows what he advertises.
"I was skeptical about that auto
mobile looping the loop," said a well
known citizen as he emerged from
ihe Horse Show building last night j
"I thought that was all on paper, but
when that daredevil they call the
'man from the moon shot around the
loop in his engine, I was willing to
take off my hat to John Robinson's
show."
Another feature which, from a
spectacular standpoint, is truly mar
velous, is the gorgeous spectacle ot
King Solomons reception to the
Queen of Sheba For barbaric splen
dor of ''ensemble, for impressive and
majestic movement, this scene is
easily a triumph of spectacular art,
and one of the strongest features of
the show.
"Tiny," the pet monkey, was easily
the favorite from a juvenile point of
view, and his associates, though less
interesting, are splendid specimens of
the monkey tribe. Other beasts and
birds and reptiles, more or less famil
iar, make up an interesting menagerie.
The circus proper, consisting of
three rings, is fully up to the high
standard of the modern ring show, y
The performances include noted bare
back riders, gymnasts and trapezists.
These peiiormances close with a
series of hippodrome races, which are
up to the average. The afternoon
performance begins at a o'clock and
the evening entertainment at 8 o'clock.

The show will exhibit here next

combination, as they catch the
measles or the mumps. Capital has
caught the fever of combination
until it has gone mad over corpora
tions and trusts. Likewise labor
has caught tbe fever of trade union
ism, and without knowing what it
means or realizing how it may be of
real service to the world, has turn
ed its power and energy in the di
rection of building up organizations.
Unless this force is turned to politi
cal power or to substantial methods
for bettering industrial conditions,
rather than gaining temporary or
personal advantages, then all this
great movement must be for
naught." The whole lecture of
Mr. Darrow was a criticism of the
present trend of trade unionism.
