The memorial was a sat of resolutions thanking him for these acts. It was signed by forty Jovernors of States, and inclosed In a specially designed gold frame. How little mere man can know of to capabilities of woman la shown by U Incident described by Edward Ever ett Hale In a recent magaslne. "I was t a dinner party in Buffalo five and twenty years ago," he says, "where w had the presence of a dozen of the gentlemen in the world. We were talking of social adjustment, and one ft these leaders said. 'There must be flrision of labor.

To gat its soldiers and y Go Cattad States goes late tto t ltZZKL aSattoa waga 1 ZZk at agists, as great European power, ei-ept the P.ritlsb Empire, make-t service in eiilier army or navy for a certain nuniU-r nf years compulsory Uon its subjects. Not to consider the alue of the dis cipline thus acquired, the lime is so ; mnh subtracted from their individual lives. The continental power, beside veiling its men for wages which may i t unite accurately described as "pin money," is able to prescribe more fru gal rations than would be attractive here. The American service, in short, costs more because it is entered Into voluntarily by persons who expect to live In something like ordiaary Amer ican conditions. Similarly, the conti nental power usually gets its officers "at a bargain." but upon a system which would not accord with American theories. It makes high positions In the military and naval service an honor which the young men of rich families greatly covet, and in many cases makes tbe offlelul salary so small that only persons of private means could afford to accept commissions Our army and navy are officered by men drawn from all classes of society Most Congressmen throw the West Point and Annapolis cadetsbips open to competitive examination, in which family Influence cannot count. When poor boys rise to be majors and com manders, they can look only to the gov ernment for compensation suitable to their rank and station, and the govern ment grants It. The greater cost is thus distributed over the whole tax paying public. A few weeks ago dispatches from New Zealand brought report of tbe return of the British steamship Dlsoov ery from the prolonged exploration of the Antarctic continent on which so much of the attention of geographers has been centered in recent years. This interest Is very slightly shared by the world at large. Antarctic exploration never has appealed to tbe popular im agination as have the search for the Northwest Passage and tbe attempts to reach tbe North Fole. Theoretically, the location of the South Pole should be as interesting as that of the other hypothetical extremity of the earth' axis, but the whole matter is one of ab stract science merely. In tbe north we have always before us the original con ceptlon that some daring voyager may find a way across from ocean to ocean, but an Antarctic expedition would lead nowhltber. This barren, frozen conti nent lies in nobody's way. You must sail far out of all beaten paths to reach It and all that can be done when you get there is to make a few addi tions to the map as drawn by those who were there before. Nevertheless, the present interest of scientific men In Antarctic exploration is very genu ine, and Captain Scott appears to have added not a little to wbat Is known of the geology of the region. He hat materially enlarged tbe sum of knowl edge upon Its zoology and botany. His meteorological observations promise much of value. There Is much of tin earth's history to be learned from tills most forlorn spot upou Its surface thai may not so well be learned in a mor hospitable clime. Year by year spacce left blank upon our maps tbe "unex plored regions" of the earlier geogra phers grow less and less. They bavi almost disappeared from the tropin, and remain only In tbe frozen zones. But even bere tbe outlines of conti nents and islands, the distinction of mountains and of glaciers, are each year more precisely marked, and till there shall remain no smallest spot oh senre exploration will go on, and hrav men will cheerfully endure long exile, privations and suffering for tbe caus of human know-ledge.
