OVER THE PRECIPICE
A Tragic Adventure la a Blirrard In
the Antarctic
Ilere Is an adventure in the antarctic
regions taken from Captain Robert F
Scotts The Voyage of the Discovery
Nine men are returning from a sledge
expedition In a blinding snowstorm
An unusually violent squall prevented
us from seeing even one another I Im
mediately ordered a chain to be form
ed at right angles and extending across
our track each man keeping in touch
with the rest with the Idea of inter
cepting Hare who was missing when
he came on We shouted and blew
whistles and while this was going on
Evans stepped back on to a patch of
bare smooth Ice and shot out of sight
immediately Thinking the slope to be
one of the short ones so common in the
folds of the hills Barne sat down and
deliberately started to slide in Evans
track In a moment or two the slope
grew steeper and soon he was going at
a pace which left him no power to con
trol his movements He whipped out
his clasp knife and dug It Into the ice
but the blade snapped off short and
failed to check his wild career In a
flash the ice changed to snow which
grew softer until in a smother of fly
ing particles his rapid flight was ar
rested and he stood up to find Evans
within a few feet of him
A third man joined them in similar
fashion Realizing the impossibility
of ascending again by the way they
had come they started to descend but
within four paces of the place at which
they had been brought to rest they
found that the slope ended suddenly in
a steep precipice beyond which they
could see nothing but the clouds of
whirling snow Even as they recoiled
from this new danger and dimly real
ized the merciful patch of soft snow
which had saved them from it a yelp
ing dog flew past them clawing madly
at the icy slope and disappeared for
ever into the gloom beyond The six
others eventually moved on until they
too found themselves on an awkward
slope Their leader suddenly saw the
precipice beneath his feet and far be
low through the wreathing snow the
sea
Another step would have taken him
over the edge He sprang back with
a cry of warning and those behind
him hearing it dug their heels instinct
ively into the surface and with one
exception all succeeded in stopping
What followed was over in an instant
Before his horror stricken companions
had time to think poor Yince unable to
check himself with his soft fur boots
had shot from among them flashed
past the leader and disappeared
Vince was never seen again but Hare
the first missing man staggered back
to the ship two days after the others
remembering nothing between strug
gling to a patch of rock for shelter and
waking thirty six hours later covered
with snow
THE MAN ON FOOT
Stambonl He Has No Riets
nu
Against the Horseman
One of the peculiarities in Stamboul
is the insolent demeanor of the horse
man to the footman Many times daily
you will see some rascal of a cabman
trying to drive down a well dressed
man on the street The drivers rarely
take the trouble to shout as they ap
proach pedestrians I was often filled
with wonder at observing the meek
ness with which well dressed Turks on
foot submitted to such treatment from
shabby Turks on carriage boxes Even
when no injury was done to such a pe
destrian he was often bespattered with
mud Stamboul must be an unpleas
ant place In which to live Were cab
men in our country to treat pedestrians
so recklessly there would be many
cases of assault and battery and I
think some mortality among the Jehus
One day I saw a uniformed Turk
picking his way across the street using
his saber as a walking stick A car
riage suddenly dashod down on him
and its driver after nearly running
over him hurled at him a volley of
what sounded like choice Turkish
abuse The uniformed Turk retorted
not He scraped the mud off his uni
form stuck his saber under his arm
and waded ashore In our country a
man with a saber would have used it
on the drivers back By this I do not
mean that the Turks are lacking in
spirit far from it but apparently it
would seem to be the custom of the
country that the man on foot as
against the man on horseback has no
rights A Levantine Log Book by

AN ODD SEA FOOD
VirtucH of GlKUiitic Marine Snail
Known nil the Abnlonc
Though the flesh of the abalone Is a
nutritious and wholesome article of
food highly esteemed by the Chineso
and Japanese few people in the Unit
ed States know anything about the
abalone except that it has a large shell
with a bright pearly Interior The aba
lone Is a gigantic sea snail whose nat
ural home is the deep water off a rocky
coast The whole coast of central and
lower California from Cape Mendo
cino to Cape St Lucas abounds In aba
loues the supply being absolutely un
limited As fast as an area of Ashing
ground is depleted It is repeopied by
full grown abalones coming In from
the ocean Three mouths after a piece
of ground has been thoroughly cleared
by the abalone flshers the supply is as
abundant as ever The contents of the
large abalone shell weigh as much as
two pounds
Long ago the Chinese and Japanese
discovered the value of the meat as a
wholesome and digestible food The
supply of abalones In Chinese waters
Is however small and the fishing
grounds off the coast of Japan were so
heavily drawn upon that they became
exhausted The people are forbidden
by an imperial edict from taking them
The Japanese and Chinese In Califor
nia dive for the abalones which crawl
about the rocks at the bottom of the
sea in deep water outside the surf
The divers bring them ashore and
spread them out in a sunny place to
dry This process reduces the abalone
to about one third of Its original bulk
leaving a tough horny product The
dried abalones are sent to the orient
where they are soaked and stewed or
ground into powder and used for mak
ing soup
In the pure deep water of the ocean
the abalone lives and as It is a clean
feeder its flesh Is always sound and
wholesome being superior in this re
spect to that of oysters and clams
which live near shore and are often
contaminated by sewage and other im
purities The viscera of an abalone
unlike those of the clam or oyster
which must be swallowed whole are
quite separate from the muscular or
edible part and can be detached by a
single stroke of a knife Chicago

A BUNCH OF FLOWERS
In Palestine and Persia the sorrow

Tulips are so sensitive to the light
that during a cloudy day they will of

up until a return of sunlight
Lilies of the valley in France are
called virgins tears and are said to
have sprung up on the road between
Calvary and Jerusalem during the
night following the crucifixion
The night blooming sereus blossoms
about an hour before midnight but by
the approach of daylight the flower is
a complete wreck having lost all its
beauty and fragrance
The four podded lotus in an exposed
situation makes a cover for its flower
by drawing one or more of the leaves
over the blossom and keeping them
there during the heat of the day
Wagner and Schumann
Wagner writing in 184G said of
Schumann He is a highly gifted mu
sician but an impossible man When
I came from Paris I went to see him
I told him of my Parisian experiences
spoke of the state of music In France
then of that in Germany spoke of
literature and politics but he remained
as good as dumb for nearly an hour
One cannot go on talking quite alone
An impossible man Schumann gave
an account of this interview which
practically agrees with that of Wag
ner I have seldom met Wagner he
said but he is a man of education
and spirit He talks however unceas
ingly and that one cannot endure for
long together
The Term Prime Minister
Prime minister Is one of the many
terms in English which seem to have
been slang at one time It was first
applied to Sir Robert Walpole but In a
reproachful sense Feb 11 1742 after
twenty years tenure of office Sir Rob
ert resigned all his employments
Having invested me he remarked
with a kind of mock dignity and
styled me prime minister they impute
to me an unpardonable abuse of that
chimerical authority which they creat
ed and conferred Such a personage
as the prime minister or the premier is
not even mentioned in the official table
of precedence and is unknown to the
written constitution of Great Britain

When the sponge is in the sea alive
the inside of the pores is covered with
a soft substance like the white of an
egg This appears to be the flesh of the
animal and currents of water may be
seen running into the sponge through
the small pores and out of it through
the large ones and it is supposed that
while the water is passing through the
sponge the nourishment for the support
of the animal is extracted from it
