An Eighth of the World's Land
Surface Still Unexplored.
AREAS WRAPPED IN MYSTERY.
"The Dwelling of the Void" In Arabia
la Supposed to Bo the Most Desolate
Wasto on the Globe New Guinea
Has Baffled Countless Expeditions.
It would seem as though this little
world of ours should bo pretty thor
oughly known by this time, yet there
arc many unexplored territories which
have yet to receive the Impress of a
human foot and which doubtless, like
the north and south polar regions, will
take their toll of heroic victims from
the hardy explorers who first enter
their closed portals.
On a rough estimate about 7,000,000
square miles, or one-eighth of the to
tal land surface of the world, are wait
ing to be discovered. Some 200,000
square miles of this Ho In the arctic
regions of the north, but among the
frozen trncts that form "antarctic" In
the south, where Scott and his gallant
followers wore penetrating, nearly
3,000,000 square miles are relegated to
the solo use of whales, seals, pen
guins, petrels and other animal and
bird Inhabitants of frozen homes.
It Is true that human habitations
could never bo formed In such climes
as these, but the scientific world Is
ever eager for the discoveries of ex
plorers, and oven among uninhabited
districts their work Is never wasted.
In Arabia there exists a tract of un
explored country nearly flvo times as
large as Great Britain. It stretches
from Mecca almost to the southeast
coast and Is called Dahkna, or "the
Dwelling of the Void." Probably no
more desolate waste Is to bo found In
the globe, for not a single river is es
timated to How throughout Its entire
400,000 square miles. Imagine Ger
many and Franco combined without
river or stream and you will gain some
idea of the parched condition of Dahk
na. The Sahara 13 a blissful retreat
by comparison.
Some authorities state that the
whole desert is not worth the price of
a good mah'.cca cane. Others give cre
dence to the legend that treasures and
hidden cities Ho in the heart of the
sands.
Of quite a different character are
the enormous mountain fastnesses of
South America, which Ho along the
upper Amazon and In tho districts of
Colombia and Peru. The celebrated
treasure of Cuzco lies secreted among
tho Peruvian heights. Impenetrable
forests, mountain jungles and innu
merable fever spreading rivers hold
the most intrepid adventurers at bay,
to say nothing of carnivorous ants,
malignant snakes, water moccasins
and those most deadly of serpents, an
acondas. During recent years over a
dozen expeditions have been either
wholly or partially wiped out In their
efforts to wrestlo with these regions.
Although the famous El Dorado,
which set the sixteenth century ablaze,
has nevor been unearthed, tho country
generally inlgh't fittingly bo called El
Dorado, fnoin the rich minerals and
priceless stones emanating therefrom.
Strange, wild eyed men descend oc
casionally from tho mountains, bring
ing wonderful fragments with them.
'But they refuse to act ns guides to
those who would accompany them
back.
It Is curious to realize that vast por
tions of the British empire have never
been seen by British eyes or tho eyes
Of any .white men. Nearly a quarter
of Australia Is still unexplored, mainly
In the west, where tho population av
erages only one person In about every
twenty square miles.
Now Guinea has baffled countless
expeditions, though many aro still try
ing to fight their way Inland from tho
coast. Despite tne fact that tho Inte
rior of this Island is practically a goo
graphical blank, It Is neatly divided
on tho maps between Britain, Germa
ny and Holland. Among Its products
are birds of ilaradlsc, spices and can

The Girl Who
Refused to Dance
WithMe
By THOMAS R. DEAN
When I was a little boy I used to
tear a great deal about tho family's
"halcyon days," as we called them. My
father had been both wealthy and
prominent, but first his wealth disap
peared, and then he died. My mother
was nnxlous to maintain something of
our social standing, but found It very
difficult to do so on her very limited
income. Nevertheless sho was deter
mined to batng ns up as ladles and gen
tlemen, and about the only way to re
fine and polish us, outside of home in
fluence, was to send us to a dancing
school.
Tlie scholars were divided Into sets,
and there was one set, tho children of
rich parents, many of whom came to
the lessons in carriages, attended by
their mnids. They did not mingle with
the other scholars, who came to con
sider them as something above them
selves, too line nitd beautiful to touch.
But I. having often heard my mother
say that we had never associated ex
cept with the best, saw no reason why
I should take "an inferior position.
There was one very pretty little girl
among this exclusive sot whom I wor
shiped from a distance. It was the
rule of the school not enforced that
any girl must dance with any boy who
asked her. One afternoon, when tho
object of my boyish admiration hap
pened to bo left without n partner, 1
went up to her and made the bow
which was considered an Invitation to
dance. She sat perfectly still. In oth
er words, sho declined my Invitation.
This was the first rejection I hud
ever experienced, and It pierced mo to
tho heart. But I havo since had rea
son to consider It a blessing, for it
opened my eyes to the fact that there
was a position for mo to win ln tho
world, and I resolved to win It. The
day will come, I said to myself, when
I shall live tho life ray father and
mother led ln their younger days. 1
must bo successful, and to bo success
ful I must think and act for myself.
I grew up separate and apart from
this little girl, but for a time I kept
track of her. I learned that her father
had made a large fortune out of a pat
ent medicine. Since my own father
had been a prominent professional
man I felt tho injustice of this child
of a patent medicine proprietor snub
bing tho son of n lawyer and states
man. Nevertheless when I saw her
rolling about beside her mother In a
landau driven by a liveried servant I
felt that sho had tho advantage ef me,
and I renewed my vow that the ad
vantage should one day be blotted out
When I was seventeen I had earned
and saved nough money to keep me a
year In college, and after that I taught
night school and won scholarships to
carry mo through. Upon graduation I
studied law and settled in a small but
rapidly growing placo where there was
no great competition and soon sprang
into a finp practice. '
I had reached a point where there
was no difficulty in resuming tho so
cial position my family had occupied
ln tho "halcyon days," and, being still
comparatively young and a wealthy
bachelor, I was somewhat courted by
tho girls I mot ln society. Most of
them were intent on winning for them
selves an establishment before the hey
day of youth passed from them. But
I know their tricks and their manners
and had no use for them.
Instead of seeking a partner for life
to spend my money in a luxurious life
I woe making love to my stenogra
pher. Sho was a woman nearly my
ago and a very intelligent and patient
person, whoso appearance denoted that
sho had seen better days. Neverthe
less there was that which drew me to
her, though I could not toll exactly
what it was. Ono day I asked her
something about herself. Sho told mo
that she had been born ln the same
city that I was born in and that her
father had lost ln speculation a large
fortuno ho had made in a patent medi
cine. What need to go further! As I look
ed into her faco I saw what I had not
seen before traces of tho features of
the llttlo girl who had a scoro of years
before refused to dance with me. And
hero she was, passing into spinster
hood, dependent upon a pitiful salary
that I paid her for doing my drudgery.
The day of vengeanco had come, and
I resolved to quaff tho cup of its
dregs. But I kept my counsel. Not a
word did I speak to call up in her
memory tho boy she had snubbed.
And this was my revenge. I doubled
her salary. Sho was much astonished.
Then I told her that sho was working
too hard and employed an assistant for
her. Her astonishment was increased
to wonder.
Ono afternoon I kept her taking my
dictation till all others had left the of
fice, then said to her:
"Did you not attend Mr. B.'s dancing
ichool at It. when you woro a little
girl?"
"I did."
"Do you remember refusing to dance
with a boy ono afternoon who asked
you?"
"No."
"But you did. I am that boy."
I epoko tho words calmly and wait
ed for them to impress her, then add
ed: "And now I proposo to pay off that
pub. I glvo you a cholco between
leaving my service and" I paused.
Bbo looked frightened.
"What?"
"Marrying me." i c-
NEW SOUTH WILL
HAVE EXPOS!
National Conservation' Exhibit
at Knoxviile, Tenn.
WILL LAST TWO MONTHS.
Every Southern State Will Be Repre
sented, and Display Planned Promises
to Be of Great Industrial and Human
Interest Project Has Been Carefully
Financed In Every Detail.
With the opening of tho National
Conservation exposition In Knoxviile,
Tenn., sot for Sept. 1, the preliminary
work is practically completed. And on
tho day of opening tho exposition com
pany will not owe ono penny, so care
fully has the financing of the project
been done. Furthermore, the exposi
tion will bo complete to the smallest
detail on the opening day. Every ex
hibit will bo in place, every building
finished.
The National Conservation exposi
tion, conceived nnd brought Into exist
ence by business men of tho south,
will bo tho first exposition ln hlstory
to havo for Its main aim and object the
teaching of tho necessity of conserv
lug tho great natural resources of tho
country, nnd also of conserving the
lives and health and energy of tho peo
ple. Exposition Grounds Spacious.
Over ten acres of exhibit space has
been provided ln tho different build
ings. These buildings are tho liberal
arts building, tho land building (with
an nudltorium annex seating 3,000 per
sons), tho woman's building, the child
welfare building, tho Tennessee build
ing, tho all south building, the mines
and minerals building, tho forestry
building, tho art building and the
negro building.
Tho grounds aro rolling and are cov
cred with a wealth of shade and grass
In the distance tho Great Smoky moun
tains are to be seen.
Special attention will lie given to tho
wonderful growth of tho south in the
last few years. During September and
OcVber (tho exposition will continue
from Sept. 1 to Nov. 1) tho new south
will bo put on display as never before
In Its history. Every southern state,
practically every large city In the
south, and many separate counties will
bo represented by exhibits.
The government will have exhibits,
prepared especially for the exposition,
in tho departments of land, forests,
child welfare, mines and minerals, etc.
Heads of tho different departments say
they will bo tho best displays that ever
have left tho national capital.
Notables on Advisory Board.
Engaged ln advancing the Interests
of tho exposition is a national advisory
board at Washington, composed of GIf.
ford Plnchot (chairman), Dr. Joseph A.
Holmes of tho bureau of mines, Miss
Julia C Lathrop of the children's bu
reau of the department of labor, Dr.
P. P. Clarton of tho bureau of edu
cation, Logan W. Page, director of tho
good roads department; Dr. Harvey W,
Wiley, Bradford Knapp of tho depart
ment of agriculture and others.
Knoxvillo figures on entertaining at
least 1.000,000 visitors, tho railroad
systems of tho south having counted
on carrying that number of persons to
Knoxviile.
Knoxviile Is rich in historical spots
and places. Near tho city fifty years
ago were fought a number of engage
ments of tho civil war.
U. S. TO IMPROVE SARDINES.
Establish Laboratory to Aid Business
Now In Deplorable Condition.
To re-establish tho American sardine
industry and to improve tho quality of
tho American fish product, tho depart
ment of agriculture has instituted a
special sardlno laboratory at Eastport,
Me. This field experiment station,
which is In chargo of Dr. P. C. Weber
of tho animal physiological laboratory
of tho bureau of chemistry, will mako
a thorough study of tho fish caught In
tho Moino sardlno waters and the
methods of packing them employed by
tho Maine canners.
American sardines of late, with few
exceptions, havo been of inferior qual
ity and often packed when unfit for
packing or else so packed as to bo a
very poor article of diet. The atten
tion of th department was brought to
tho situation very forcibly when it was
found necessary to order tho seizure of
about 00,000 cans of American sardines
In Pittsburgh, and 2,000 cases, or near
ly 150,000 quarter and half cans, In
Norfolk. Tho industry nt present, the
American canners themselves admit, is
in a deplorablo condition. What was
once a flourishing nnd money making
sea food industry has through destruc
tive competition been brought to a
stage where many canneries aro no
longer packing, and whero-thoso which
do pack aro compelled to sell their
product at less than cost.
First Parcel Post Package.
Tho silver loving cup commemora
tive of tho opening of tho parcel post
system is now ln tho National mu
seum at Washington. It was the
first package to go through the mall
under tho new system and was mailed
In Washington by Postmaster General
Hitchcock on Jan. 1 to Postmaster
Morgan at Now York. Tho cup Is
eight Inches high and Is suitably Inscribed,

Christian Temperance Union.)
LESS DRINKING BY SOLDIERS
British Generals Agree That the Best
Fighting Is Done by Soldiers
Who are Abstainers.
Tho changes that a century has
wrought ln respect to the ubo of strong
liquor were illustrated during tho re
cent meeting here of the Royal Army
Temperance association, which now
has C7.433 members, of whom 38,405
are in the Indian army, says a London
correspondent of the New York Sun.
According to the figures presented
there oro now 28,380 total abstainers
ln tho British army and 2,795 ln tho
temperance section. Earl Roberts said
a great chango had como over tho mor
tality of tho army ln India slnco the
days when it was the custom to pro
vide every soldier with "a tot of ar
rack" every morning.
Earl- Curzon recalled that in 1812,
when tho peninsular war was ln prog
.ress, tho duke of Wellington's force
was "a drinking If not a drunken
army." Tho idea then was that the
hard drinking man was tho best fight
ing man and there was a direct ratio
between whisky consumed and cour
.ago displayed. The duke himself while
extolling tho bravery of his men de
plored their drunkenness and social
vices.
Nowadays all recognize that the old
Idea was a ludicrous fallacy. Every
general who had commanded troops ln
'tho last quarter of a century would
say that tho best marching army and
tho best fighting army was a sober
army.
