The Antarctic Continent,
That mysterious, unknown land, the
Antarctic Continent, has hitherto at-
tracted few explorers. While expedi-
tions have penetrated the Arctic re-
gions every year, in the hope of find-
ing a northwest passage, or of gaining
valuable material for science, the other
end of the globe has remained almost
unvisited, Almost nothing has been
done there since forty-five years ago,
when Sir John Rossdiscovered the huge
volcano, Mt. Erebus, flaming amid ihe
everlasting snow and ice.
Expeditions toward the north pole
are not exactly pleasure excursions;
but the south pole presents still more
terrible difficulties. To reach It, the
traveler must leave his ship, and trav-
erse maybe a thousand miles of land
covered with almost impassable masses
of ice.
This arduous task will be attempted
next year by an expedition dispawched
by the government of Victoria, Aus.
tralia, who are to sail southward from
Melbourne, and push on to reach the
pole, if they cun manage It.

A “Wishing Well" of Shropshire,
Eagland.
The waters of *Oswald’s Well” still
flow freely at the foot of a woody bank
in a field on the outskirts of Owestry,
next to that now used in the grammar
school playgronnd. In the year 1842 a
local antiquary, the late Mr. F, M,

Bottles of water are carried to wash

Nowadays it seems chiefly to be used
as a wishing well and many are the
ceremonies precribed for attaining the
heart’s desire thereby. One rite is to
go to the well at midnight to make

Archer, having been bitten or other-

| said Sir James, “I think in three or

But shail I be fit for the Derby?”
asked Arzher.
“Yes,” was the reply. ‘Oh, yes!
I think you may go to the Derby."’
“No, but you don’t quite understand
me, Sir James," persisted the jockey.
“1 mean, shall I be Qt to ride?”
“Well, 1 don’t know,” was the
answer. * Better drive; better drivel”
Archer, rather taken aback by this
very innocent and unexpected rejoin-
der, had to explain. *‘I am afraid, Sir
James, you scarcely realize who 1

The famous surgeon, on learning the
