Iffi5,;jKSIItt:.'jf. ssa JI t r ti OOD from tlio Antarctic freighter: So prophesies Sir Ernest Slmckleton, the fntnoua explorer, now on his wny for the third time to the "Hottom of the World." Points which H('m to Indicate thnt Sir Ernest Is at least n near prophet, If nothing more, are these: The high price of food, especially meat, shows no prospect of substan tial reduction. The world shortage of meat Is Increasing, with apparently no chance of production catching up with1 consumption. Tiu likes nnd dislikes of the civil llzed world for certain kinds of meat re largely psychological. Nature lias provided edible animals ijust as palatable nnd nourishing as ithose commonly used for food. The animal food supply of the ant arctic regions Is varied and apparently inexhaustible. The present progress In airplanes nnd airships Is so rapid that It seems (foolish to set bounds to their future (development. Sir Ernest says he Knows Bea ele phants, sea lions, seals, penguins nnd -other animals and birds of the ant tarctlc are edible. Well, he should (know what he's talking about. He certainly had a chance to find out on Ws second nntarctlc exploration. Although Cook, as far back as 1774, igot south aw far as 71 degrees 15 min utes, and Wcddcll, Ross.. Borcbgrevlnk, end De Gerlaehe did valuable explora tion work between 1823 nnd 11)00, It -was not until Capt. Robert V. Scott's first expedition In 1002 that the world .really became Interested In the south pole. For some reason the race for discovery honors was principally to ward the north pole. Slmckleton fol lowed Scott In 1009. Then Rnnlrt Amundsen reached the south pole In HOli. Scott nlso reached It ti few lays later. ' Shnckleton's second pnrty left Tiuenos Aires October 27, 1014. aboard .the Endurance, a small, sturdy ship, Imllt especially to withstand the on lnught of the Ice. In addition to the crew, scientists and explorers, the En durnnce carried nearly 40 dog teams, which later proved of untold value In pldlng the party to cross the Ice on ithelr historic Journey back to civiliza tion. The first stop of the expedition wns nt South Georgia, the southernmost outpost of the human race, where ar rangements had previously been made tfor taking on supplies to last through the winter. Seal-meat was a feature iof these supplies. ' The Endurance started again toward jthe "Bottom of the World." For weeks the ship upheld her name gallantly, lighting her wny through the treacher ous antarctic seas. Each day the ijoumey became more dlfllcult d tnoro dangerous. With colder weather nnd heavier Ice the members of the expedition came to renllze that It was only n question of dnys until they would have to give up tho Journey tin jtll spring should break tho Ice again. 1 At three degrees from their destlnn jtton, the white horror of tho nntarctlc closed In upon them. Weeks were spent In nttc npts to clear tho way to tho open sen, but nil to no avail. Tho lco was relentless. And then tho sun pet, not to rise ngnln till spring. Months were spent In preparation for tho llnnl dash to the pole. Everything was In rendlness. Then, as Slmckleton puts It, "tlu Httle party lest Its home and Its hopes." Tho Endurance wns crushed by the pressure of the Ice, which followed on tho heels of n terrific blizzard, such as could occur only In the polar re gions. The lco toro tho ruderpost from the ship and a few moments later aho was thrown sldewaya to an angle of forty-five' degrees. Tho entire party was forced to aban don tho doomed vessel, removing all necessary supplies. A few weeks later the Ice ground tho ship to pieces at last sending It to the bottom. With tho possibility 6t reaching tho pole beyond all human endeavor, the expedition started on the long nnd perilous return Journey. With the crew by nlrplnne dragging the heavy life boats the dog teams went nheud to break a pathway. After weeks of traveling It wns found Impossible to move the entire party, so they settled down for a stay on the Ice. Then the Ice broke. For more than ten months the expedition float ed about on a great floe, helpless. At last the huge "raft" hecamo tin safe. One "night It broke directly through the center, dropping severnl men Into the sen. As the Ice raft grew smnllcr nnd tho sen became more perilous It was decided to risk every thing In n despernto attempt to reach civilization In the small life boats. Later, seeing the Impossibility of transporting the entire party nt one time, Shackleton stnrted nut with five of his companions for South Georgia, the nearest point of civilization, nearly 800 miles nway. They landed on the unlnhnblted side. Leaving threo of his companions, Sir Ernest started for tho Strommness whaling station, 32 miles away, over a rough sen with huge Ice cakes threat ening to sninsh thi little crnft. He finally reached bis destination. As soon ns arrangement could be made Shackleton with a new ship nnd supplies started back to rescue his ctunpanlons. Following their rescue, the entire expedition, without the loss of n man. steamed Into Valparaiso har bor, while the guns of the Chilean navy roared welcome. Then came the tri umphal return to England So you see Sir Ernest had plenty of opportunity to find out that the mil mal life of the antarctic was "edible." What he thinks of the general proposi tion to use the food resources of the nntarctlc In feeding the world may be seen from these extracts from a letter written tills summer, to an American friend, Just ns he wns starting from London on his third expedition: "My Dear Chap When you receive this I shall probably be on the ship on my wny to the frozen south, to clear up tho scientific questions that were loft undone by tho destruction of the Endurance. "One thing I have been forced to overlook through the pressure of events, nnd thnt Is a question close to tho hearts or I should say stom achs of humanity. It Is tho rood question. "It Is apparent thnt the world Is getting short of meat. Consumption Is outstripping production, nnd tho condition Is becoming tnoro serious dnlly. Before long we shall bo forced to eat meat that today, although It Is good food, Is filling the skins of inter esting zoological specimens. "Ilumnn nature Is peculiar ahout eating. Pretty and ugly, ferocious nnd kindly animals of tho zoo, to tho average man, nre nature's creatures for his entertainment. He does not realize that most of theso animals arc common sights to somo of tho earth's inhabitants nnd most of them are used as food. "The Inhabitants of South Afrlcn (I mean the whites, tho Doers), than whom thero are no more Intelligent or physically perfect people, hove been eating most of our zoo animals since their settlement In Afrlcn, near ly BOO years ago. Also In tho vast regions of lco thero are millions of edible animals, whose flesh, with prop er cooking, Is Just as nourishable and Just as palatable ns any other meat. "On the great Ice continent pt the bottom of tho world sea elephants, sea lions, seal, penguin, etc., havo bred unmolested for -thousands of years. They are edible, I know. "In t h e Robertson Cole expedition to the bottom of the world I particularly made n study of these animals as a possible food sup ply. I found tho vast lco continent nt our south lias the greatest food supply In tho world. It Is the refrig erating plnnt that hu mnnlty will ultimately turn to with flying freighters and'1 they j&tD ormsrj&rDmzArrcu?-. win come ns sure ns the flying machine Is here carrying the meat from the cold south to tho civilized distributing centers. "Thero will bo.no dlfllculty In tap ping this great supply from the great freezer where Ice and storage will cost nothing. This mny seem remote, but In my opinion It Is not. Because of the r-ipld growth of the automobile, telegraph and flying mnchlne, I expect to see the tlmo of great flying freight ers thnt will solve the problem of the distribution of foods. "I shnll nrrange, before I return to the south In n few days, to have a quantity of the food thnt wo used In the south sent to the United States. Some of the medical societies here have eaten sea elephant, penguin, seals and sea lions and pronounced them first class foods. "I would like you to nrrange with one of the big educational Institu tions, such ns Harvard, to give a din ner to n number of scientific men and students of humanity's needs, using this meat on the menu. This would bring before the people Immediately the desirability of Investigating the antarctic food supply and familiarize them with tho Idea of eating tho food thnt I know from experience enn he recommended. "When I reach Chllo I perhaps shall read In tho paper something that you have done along this lino; nt least I hope so. "With best wishes, yours, "ERNEST SHACKLETON." Eating sen clephnnts Is only n step farther thnn wo have gone nlready. Arctic explorers havo lived on seal meat and thrived. VllhJalmur Sle- fnnsso-i achieved lasting fame by prov ing to the world that n civilized man can penetrate tho polar regions, ;olng light and living "off the country," sub sisting on tho nnlmnls ho can sccuru by gun nnd trap. Whale meat has been tried and found excellent on the Pacific coast. The United States gov ernment Is Introducing tunny strangn kinds of fish ns first-rate food Includ ing sharks and stlng-rays and dogfish, As n mntter of fact, our present food likes and dislikes aro really large ly psychological. Tho flesh of u young dog Is good meat In every sense of the word If you only think so. Veteran blg-gnmo hunters swear that the most toothsome nnd most nourishing meat on earth Is that of tho big cats. TIiosr who havo eaten It say that n rattle snake Is as good ns nn eel. Vernon Bailey, chief -field naturalist of tho United States biological survey, says In "Wild Animals of Glacier National Park" that the mountain rat's flesh Is "as dellcato and delicious ns that of quail or any of tho game nnlmnls" and that ground squirrels and pocket 'gophers nro very good eating. All things are relative.

The man who has nev er been famished lltlo Imagines how delicious Is raw, tough seagull. The man who has had plenty of beef, mut ton nnd pork nil his life would be sur prised to find how quickly tho pangs of" hunger would drive him to almost uny substitute to sustain life. Dr. Owen II. Ames, the Boston psy chologist, declares that likes and dis likes of foods are "purely psychologi cal." Becnuse we have been bred for years to regard certain nnlmnls us edible, nnlmnls without lhat class have never been thought of ns a possi ble supply of food. In South America (he octopus Is used ns tho hne of a particularly appetizing soup. The simple fact that It does not appear disgusting to us until we know Its Ingredients proves ttint our taste In foods Is purely psychological. In Australia among the English speaking peiple. who are very much like ourselves, Hie mutton bird :s t.seil ns one of their finest dishes. The mut ton, bird Is very much like the penguin, of which there Is nn enormous supply In the antarctic regions. McMillan, the explorer, says that seal food Is splendid. Not only Is It very nourishing, but .It Is nKo sur prisingly palatable. Among the Eski mos seals' eyes nie considered n tfcil delicacy, but the fact that they are eaten by Eskimos or that they aro seuls' eyes does not make them nny less a food for the white man. In tho last few years many men hae been forced to realize that food Is food, no mntter what Its special name might huvo been. In n country where n certain animal Is rare or has been brought merely us nn enter tainment, the people of that countrv would never regard that animal as a food. But whero that nnlmnl Is plenti ful he Is ulwajs used for consumption. To us, who depend mostly upon beef, pork, lamb and tho products of n few other domesticated animals for our Biipply of meat, this seems strange and tinuaturnl. But considering the fact that most nnlmnls nre for the most part made of what they eat, we find that the menu of many of the mil njls wo keep In our pnrks and cir cuses Is exactly "the same as that of our domestic nnlmnls. So, Dr. Ames: believes, the question of tnste In fopi! Is purely psychological. At the south polar regions there havo been breeding unmolested for centuries many kinds of fon'd animals and birds with natural envlronmen' to keep them always In perfect con dition. To give some Idea of the al most limitless food supply In the nnt arctlc seas, the Endurance had to liter ally plow through n sea of seals. So much In earnest Is Sir Ernest Shackleton aver his project that ho promises to come to tho United Stntes in Its promotion, upon his return from Uls expedition to the antarctic. inpioved umrotM mflifUfToifiL MJNDAYSdWOL Lesson (Ily nUV.

The death of Saul lay open to David the path to die throne. This would bine rejoiced the heart of many, but Dahl was sad. Instead of reward be ing given to the sliijor of Saul, quick engeanee was executed upon him. I. David Made King Over Jud&h (2:1-4). Me knew full well thnt the Lord by the baud of Samuel had anointed him to be the successor of Saul. He had learned the essential lesson which tho School of Pi evidence was designed to leach, namely, that the position now open to him wns no easy one to fill. Ills exile and sufferings gave lilm self- control, fie hail the good sense to know that promotion to the throne did hut bring "harder duties and multi plied perplexities." He threw himself upon Cod and asked for guidance, lie rendered Instant obedience to tho Lord's imswer. If wo are to enjoy find's fellowship and blessing we must render quick obedience. He made a right beginning, therefore fiod pros pered hliii. When he renched Hebron the men of Judab came and anointed him king over them. Thus a part of the nation recognized him ns king nnd ratified the work which Samuel did many years before. When David went up he took with him nil who had been with him In exile and suffering. They are now shnrers with him In the king dom. When David's great son, Christ, shall enter upon his glorious reign, those who have been faithful to him In his rejection shnll reign with him. "If wo suffer we shall also reign with him." (II Tim. 2:1U); "To htm that overcometh will I grant to sit with me In my throne, even ns I also overcame, and am set down with my father in his throne." (Itev. 3:21). II. David's Behavior Toward the Men of Jabesh-Gllead (2:4-7). The men of Jabesh owed much to Saul (I Sam. 11), and they showed this recognition of debt by mnklng a daring dash to rescue his body from the Ignominious exposure nt Bethle hem. David's act of sending men to Jubesh with a messngo of good will for their nffectlonnto remembrance ol Saul Is an exhibition of his noble, gen erosity. Ills love for the tinforttuinte king survived all tho injuries which he suffered nt his hands. He forgave nnd forgot them nil. This was an net of political shrewdness as well ns u generous one. In fact the only policy which proves effective Is thnt which proceeds from n generous benrL He dertly follows this generous com mendation with a sollcltudo for the men of .Inbesh to transfer their loyal ty to himself, since he Is now their legal king. Since Saul Is now dead, he urges tliem to be valiant for him. In view of the civil war which was to follow he knew It would require vali ant men to stand by find's king. This nppenl to be valiant Is needed now, foi we are all called upon to tnko side' between find's iippnlnled king, .lesus Christ, nnd Satan, the pretender to the throne. May Christ's appeal result In making us faithful nnd valiant for him. III. The Dual Kingdom War Be fiveen the House of Saul and the House of David (2:8-1:12). This period of civil war lasted seven nnd a half years. Most of the tribes of Israel clung to Ishhosheth, Saul's son, whom Abner had proclaimed king nt Muhnnnlm. Feuds continued be tween tho rival generals. David's power Increased while that of Ishbos heth's w lined. IV. David Crowned King Over United Israel (f:1-5). Though the struggle for supremacy lasted long nnd wns u bitter one, Ah tier's death and Ishbosheth's assassina tion put nn end tb David's opposition. David's behavior during this time grad ually won for him the conlldence of the tribes so that they all came to him nt Hebron and anointed him ns their king. They accepted his divine right to rule (v. 3). The reasons for anoint ing hlin their king were: 1. Do Is their brother (v. 1). This Is true of Christ our King. Through the Incarnation ho has becomo one with us. 2. Ho wns their true leader In war, even In Saul's time (v. 2). 3. IIo was the Lord's cholco (v. 2). Procrastination.
