AN ANTARCTIC STORM
Braving the Perils of a South
Polar Winter's Night.
FIERCE FURY OF THE GALE.
Adventures of a Party of Explorer! In
a Journey Over the Broken Pack
Ice The 8olid Wall of Wind Thai
Flanked a Friendly Iceberg.
The arctic explorer bus always had
.hardship and danger enough, but the
antarctic discoverer hag fnr more ter
rible conditions to meet Luckily he
meets them with nil the equipment
and method that arctic exploration hag
taught mankind. Yet they are most
dangerous, as the story of those wht
bare lived through the south polm
winter night can testify. One of the
experiences of BeruacchI on the cruise
of the Southern Cross some years
ago shows what nn antarctic gale
menus.
lie nnd a comrade, Elllfsen, started
out on a short sledge journey to enrry
provisions from one camp to another.
It was In September, and the broken
."ice pack over which they must travel
was but a foot and a half thick nnd
likely to break In pieces afresh or pile
UP In deadly masses at the mercy of
the sea and wind. The two men had
ithree sledges and eighteen dogs. They
had hardly started before the wind
rose and a gale threatened. Halfway
to their dest Innt Ion there was nn Ice
berg imbcdiled In the puck lee, and
they hastened to reach this before the
Btorra should break.
For five hours they tolled over the
ice, the wind gradually rising. The
gale broke In fury Just as they reach
ed the Iceberg, tinder whose lee they
pitched a tiny silk tent, Into which
they crawled after having fed their
dogs as best they could. Hour after
hour the wind raged, and the ther
noinoler went to 0 degrees below zero.
The snow drifted over and Into the
tent. Sleep was Impossible.
The explorers, who had mot typhoons
in the China seas and cyclones In the
tropics, found by the aneroid as well
as by their own sensations that this i
gale surpassed them all. Worst of all, I
it peemed as If the Ice was beginning
to crack. They knew well that the
iceberg which protected them from the
full force of the storm was the most
dangerous place possible in other
T. io, u the ice was sure to separate
first immediately round the berg,
throwing tent, men and dogs into the
Icy seas. The cracking of Ice was now
to be heard above the roar of the
wind. They dared not stay in their
shelter.
A little to the cast, Bernaccbl re
membered, was a eave in the body of
the iceberg. Once in that, they would
not at least be precipitated into the
en, even If they were carried away,
iceberg and oil. It was so dark that
the wall of tho berg could not be seen
even when the hands touched It The
two explorers groped as best they
eonld along the slippery walls, both
hands on the ice and their bodies
pressed against It. Halfway around
they left the lee side and met the
pnle. It came like a solid thing, bear
ing them back and down. Not one
inch could they move against it, and
further exposure meant death. They
groped back, blinded, deafened and
almost paralyzed with cold, to shelter.
Then they commenced a toilsome hunt
for a foothold on the lee side some
where. Toward morning they found a
low spur or projection, upon which
they scrambled and lay down perfect
ly exhausted in the snowdrifts, which
grew each moment. To this they owed
their lives, fqr the snow soon covered
them and kept in the warmth of tbetr
bodies.
They dared not sleep for fear ol
never waking, so they roused each
other alternately. At last day broke,
and the gale abated. Crawling over
the snow, their garments frozen stiff
as boards, their beards solid lumps of
lee, they managed to reach their tent.
The ice bad not broken, though It was
oracked here and there. They took
food, slept, fed their dogs, who were
deep In the drifts, but alive, and then
courageously went ahead, "not caring
to be beaten," as Bernacchl expressed
It It was 8 o'clock at night before
they reached camp, but the next day
they were exploring and taking photo
graphs and observations Just as usual.

REAL LITERARY LABOR.
Example of Charles Dudley Wsrne-'a
Infinite Painstaking.
The extraordinary pains and patience
with which Charles Dudley Warner
did his literary work are shown in an
account given by a writer In the New
AniBtel magazine of the streuuous way
In which Mr. Warner produced nn
obituary notice some years ago.'
Trofessor Edward L. Youmnns was
close personul friend of Mr. Warner,
and on that account when Mrs. You
mnus died the editor of a daily paper
asked Mr. Warner to write a sort of
personal appreciation of her. This he
consented to do.
He was left alone from 10 a. in. until
half past 12, when he went to lunch.
Ueturnlng at 2 o'clock, he worked
without interruption until 4 o'clock
when he turned over to the editor
what he hnd written.
Yet the work was uot complete. Mr.
Warner rea:l the first proof and in suc
cession three revised sheets.
Each time he made change after
change In phraseology, seeking out the
one right word, while eveu In the
nicety of paragraphing be seemed to
make clenrer what he desired to ex
press. Nor did the close revision end
with the marking of the last proof.
After the paper had gone to press
and the first sheets had been brought
up to the composing room for an O. K.
Mr. Warner looked wlBtfully at the
editor and observed:
"Would you object to lifting the
form? I see a sentence In the last
paragraph that might be somewhat
changed. She was too good, you know,
to have a slovenly tribute paid to her."
Even the printers refused to get an
gry over the delay, nnd forthwith the
form was sent up and changes went on
for nn hour. At last, though publica
tion was delayed fully two hours, the
editor, but not Mr. Warner, had the
supreme satisfaction of knowing that
the work was as nearly perfect as hu
man art could make It, and the edition
was sent out.
FIRST NIGHTS.
The Way They Affected Some Famous
French Playwrights.
The first night with authors Is view
ed with different feelings. This is how
it affected some famous French play
wrights. Sardou's nervousness was
well known. Dumas fils was never
able to preserve his sangfroid. As
soon as the curtain roee Dumas pere
would betake himself to a restaurant
and dine from as many courses as his
new piece had acts. His son reported
on the success of the piece. At the
first representation of "Toussalnt Lou
Torture" Lamartlne found bis work so
tedious that he went to a cafe and
read the papers. Balzac when be pro
duced "Resources do Qulnola" spent
the day in selling tickets at a rate
higher than at the box oflice and reap
ed a fine, return. ...
Faul de Kock, seated In the orches
tra, we also rend, protested against
his piece and made bo much noise that
his neighbors demanded silence. Cas
mlr Delavigne remained at home.
Alexandre Sou met went to be shaved
when "Jeanne d'Arc" was produced.
The barber had finished one cheek
when the author cried: "Stop! Here
are SO sous. Go round to the theater
and see if they hiss or applaud the
piece." The barber returned, saying:
"It is a success, monsieur. They ap
plaud." "Since it is a success," re
plied the author, "shave the other."
Scribe appeared in the best of spirits
and encouraged the actors, but at the
end he became nervous and tore his
handkerchief with his teeth. Rossini
walked about the back of the stage
with his cane in his band. Aubcr was
never present on the first night of his

Smoothed the Sea.
A gentleman aboard a steamer run

approached one of the sailors during

"We have a very smooth sea this
morning. It Is like a sheet of glass.
You don't always have it like this?"
"No, sir," was the answer, "but you
see, they knowed as how you were
coming today, so the authorities at
Southport telephoned to the corpora
tion at Blackpool, and they at once
ordered out the steam roller and rolled
the sea down for the occasion. That
is why it is so smooth." London Tit

- THE" OLD SAIL DRILL
Perils the Modern Warship Men De
Not Have to Face.
One of the dangers and one of the
hardest tasks of the mun-of-war's man
vanished out of his life when, with the
supplanting of the frigate by the steam
cruiser, the old time sail drill became
a thing of the past. Fleets In the old
days were continually exercised In
making and shortening sail, shifting
spars and all similar maneuvers aloft,
says Captain J. W. Gambler of the
British navy in bis "Links In My Life."
As the greatest rivalry existed among
the crews as to which ship should
carry out the evolution first accldeuU
were frequent Hardly a drill day
passed without men being seriously In
jured. '
Once during a drill In Kiel harbor,
where the rivalry In the fleet was In
creased by the eagerness of foreign
ships to compete with the English, an
unfortunate French nildshlpuiuu went
head first from the lulzzeu crosstrees
of the French flagship to the deck.
That numbers of accidents should
tnke place lu sail drill was not aston
ishing when one remembers that spars
measuring perhaps seventy or eighty
feet long nnd weighing two or three
tons were whisked about with be
wildering npeed with nothing but
men's bauds and brains to guide
them; hundreds of men crammed Into
a space of a few hundred square feet
where nothing but the most mnrvelous
organization nnd discipline could avert
death on deck or aloft.
To the Inudsman, who understood
nothing of the difficulty Involved In
rapidly shifting these great masts and
yards or In reeling nnd furling thou
sands of square feet of stiff canvas
perhaps wet or half frozen tlie rapid
ity with which It wits done wns per
haps the chief wonder.
Uopes, running like lightning through
blocks tbntirere Instantly too hot from
friction to be toii'.-lied, hnd to be
checked to within n few Inches, requir
ing the utmost coolness and presence
of mind, while the officer In com
mand had to superintend what to the
uninitiated looked like a tangled mass
of cordage, but which was lu reality
no more In confusion than the threads
In a loom.
In an instant this officer might see
something going wrong. To delay a
single second meant a terrible catas
trophe. Every one, alow and aloft
was relying on his Judgment.
"Belay! Ense away!"
The order came In nn Instant. The
boatswain's mates repeated it in a
particular call which this life and
death necessity soon taught every one
to understand, the shrill whistles rising
above the din of tramping feet and
running ropes or the thunderous crash
of the great sails in the wind. Death
bad been averted or not. If not you
looked up and saw some unfortunate
man turning head over heels In the
air. Your heart stood still. Would he
i catch hold of something, even if only
to break his fall, or would ho come
battering on the deck? It was a mere
toss up. If be was killed outright it
eenerallv ntonned the drill for the
day; if he was only seriously Injured
the drill went on, for this was part
of the lesson that must be learned
that In peace, as in war, one must take
his chances.

Thorp died, leaving his fortune to a
poor relative on condition that a head
stone, with the name of the Bald
Thomas Thorp and a verse of poetry,
be erected over the grave. Costing
so much a word to chisel letters on
the stone, the poor relative ordered
that the poetry should be brief. Upon
his refusal to approve, on account of
their length, the lines

The Gingerbread Tree.
There is a species of palm, growing
to a height of from twenty-five to thir
ty feet. In Egypt, Arabia, Abyssinia
and Nubia which produces Its fruit In
long clusters, each containing from
100 to 200. These fruits are of an
Irregular form, of a rich yellowish
brown color and are beautifully pol
ished. In upper Egypt they form part
of the food of tho poorer classes of In
habitants, the part eaten being the
fibrous, mealy, busk, which tastes al
most exactly like gingerbread, whence
the popular name of gingerbread tree
in Egypt. Hyphoene thebalca is the
botanical name of this palm.
How It Struck Him.
It was 5 o'olock In the afternoon, In

when a young man in the front end
of the car thus expressed his senti
ments: Gee whiz! I'm glad I'm free!
No wedding bells for me.

Cause of Car Sickness.
W. C. Wood attribute car sickness
to the nystagmus produced by looking
out of the car windows. Look out of
a car window and observe how
rapidly the telegraph poles flit by.
Each one Is Been and Involuntarily fol
lowed by the eye until It Is opiosite,
when the eye Bhlfts to the one follow
ing. This Is true of near buildings.
Objects farther away seem to move
slower, and those very fnr off seem to
be almost stntlonary until the whole
landscape appears to be revolving
round a common center. The uu
conscious effort to take la everything
produces a rapid lateral oscillation cf
the eyeballs, as any one can observe
by watching the eyes of his fellow
passengers. The eye strain Is enor
mous and is the chief factor In pro
ducing car rlckness. This can be
proved by asking u patient who U
subject to car sickness to look steadily
at a mirror which Is moved rapidly,
to and fro or tilted backward and
forward. He will Immediately com
plain of nausea nud vertigo. T!u
treatment consists of ndvHing fie
patient to avoid looking out of the car
windows and In giving him a grain of
cltrnted caffeine shortly belore he
takes the cars nud repeating It every
hour as long as there Is nny tendency
to be sick. The nutlior has been en
abled by this procedure to relieve
many sufferers from car sickness.

The Ship's Bell Clock.
In Its most ordinary form the ship's
bell clock Is a stout, well made clock,
a good timekeeper, contained In a
round nickel plated case six or seven
Inches In diameter which Is mounted
on a board that can be hung on or
screwed to a wall or bulkhead. The
face of the clock, the dial, Is of finish
ed steel, nnd Its pointers are of blued
steel, so that with Its nickeled case
the whole clock bus a metallic, solid,
serviceable look.
Attached to a projection of the board
upon which the clock Is placed, out
side the clock and immediately below
It, is the clock's gong, with the ham
mersthere are two of them brought
down into it on arms extending
through an opening In the clock's case
and striking on the gong's Inner side.
It Is a sturdy gong two or three Inches
in diameter, and it sounds with a
strong, clear, resolute note when the
hammer strikes It. On this clock's
face you can tell the time in the usual
way, but the hours are struck as they
are at sea on a ship's bell. New York

The Senate's Hole In the Wall.
When the nineteenth century was as
yet only bnlf grown, senators applied
customarily for their toddles at the so
called Hole In the Wall, a small circu
lar room Just off the postofflce of the
upper house. The lntter body then
occupied what Is now the chamber of
the supreme court, and the postoffloe
was across the main corridor Of the
building on the same floor. When a
wearer of the toga found himself In
need of a "snlfttr" he had only to
cross over to tho malls department
nnd pass through It to the little cir
cular noin aforesaid, which wns about
the she of a pantry. Tho Hole In the

nnd the bill of fare for edibles was
short, though to the point. There wa i

"Thou Dleet on Point of Fox."
Fox blades were celebrated all
through the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries for their excellent temper,
and mention of fiem Is frequent In
English drama. This Is their history:
There was a certain Julinn del Ilel,
believed to be a Morlsco, who set up a
forge at Toledo In the early part of
the sixteenth century and became fa
mous for the excellence of his sword
blndes, which were regnrded as the
best of Toledo. That city had for ninny
ages previous been renowned fur
swordmaklng, It being supposed that
the Moors Introduced the) nrf, as they
did so many good things, from the
east.. ,
Julinn del Rel's mark was a little
dog, which came to be taken for a fox,
and so the "fox blade" or simply "fox"
for any good sword. See "Henry V.,"
act 4, scene 4, "Thou dlest on point of
fox." The brand came to be Imitated
In other places, and there are Sollngen
blades of comparatively modern manu

A Royal Snake 8laughterer.
The "secretary bird" is one of the
moBt precious birds In South Africa.
It Is royal game, and any person de
stroying one is liable to a fine of 50.
Majestic looking birds, they stand
about three feet high and generally go
In pairs. They are of drab color, with
blnck, feathery legs, and are valued
for their propensity for killing snakes.
Where the secretary bird Is seen there
are suro to be many reptiles about.
The bird beats down Its adversary
first with ono wing and then with the
other, at tho same time trampling on
it with its feet until the snake is suffi
ciently stunned to catch It by the
bead with Its cla ?s. Then the bird
rises far up In the air and drops its
victim to the ground, to be killed. By
this means thousands of venomous
reptiles are destroyed. London Scraps.

An Incident of Whistler's 8tudent
Days In Paris.
The early scenes in "Trilby" have
shown us the hilarious squalor of the
student life in Paris when Whistler
Joined the studio that Gleyre carried
on in succession to Delnroche. It was
the Bohemia, barely modernized, of
Murger's novel, and the shifts to
which these raw recruits lu art de
scended furnished AVhlstler for life
with some of his raciest stories. Once
when an American friend unearthed
film Whistler was living on the pro
reeds of a wardrobe. One hot day be
pawned bis coat for an iced drink
Invited once to the American embassy,
he had to borrow Poynter's dress suit.
But the best story of these frolicsome
days arises from the elernnl copying
In the Louvre, either on commission
or on "spec,"- which kept them alive
between remittances. Whistler's chum,
Ernest Delnnnoy, had done a gorgeous
replica of Veronese's "Marriage Feast
nt Cana" that took when framed the
pair of them to carry It. They tried
It on every dealer up nnd down both
sides of the Seine until the first price
of 500 francs hnd dropped with sev
eral thuds to 100, then 20, then 10,
then 5. Suddenly the dignity of nrt
nsserted Itself."
On the Tont des Arts they lifted the
huge canvas. "Un," they snld, with
a grent swing, "deux, trols v'lan!"
and over It went Into the water with a
splash. Sergents de vllle came run

pushed out on the river. Altogether
It wns an Immense success, and they
