PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS J. A. St. lair of l.onrmoiu. folo.. Is the guest of J. W. Williams, traveling pas senger agent for the Burlington. Lieutenant Krnest Shackleton, the ex plorer of the Antarctic and researcher of the South pole, lectured last night at the Auditorium on his experiences and life in the far south. The lecturer told of the difficulties en countered in getting enough money to gether to make the polar trip, and said that after die gift of $100,000 from the English Parliament, he made $;0,000 since last No vember by the sale of his book and by lec turing. He said that he still had some of the original debt to pay off and that from the looks of the crowd present ho would be still more in debt on account of coming to Omaha. His last trip to the South pole cost him 175,000. Lieutenant Shackleton lias the happy gift of being able' to relate scientific facts In a witty and pleasing manner. The lecture Mas illustrated with stereopticun views and moving pictures showing the various points of Interest along the Journey and typical views of the Antarctic expedition. The one pl. ttiie which seemed to please more than tho others was the moving representation ot the penguins, the Antarctic bird, which has no fear of man. These clumsy crea tures could be Keen wobbling over the snow and ice and their queer antics were de cidedly Interesting to people who live where corn is raised. Karlr Explorers. The first picture thrown upon the screen was a map showing the two trips of Lieu tenant Shackleton and the "farthest tiouth" of previous explorers. He showed one red mark which represented the spot where Captain James Cook went In 177, and, Willi ills characteristic British humor. remarked with all apparent seriousness. No relation." Several pictures were shown representing the ship Nlmrod and its crew, and one slide pictured waves forty-two feet high, which were encoun tered by the ship soon after It left for the south polar regions. Speaking of the hardships encountered, be said: "Sir Philip Urockhurst had both feet frozen and one b g toe amputated in conse quence, but he did not lose It, for he still has it In bottle as a memento. "Life In the winter camp was not unpleas ant," he continued, "though one cook at tained some unpopularity by pulling a sock out of the soup one night. 6ne man s mused himself by reading aloud Gibbon's 'Fall of the Roman Empire,' and another Brown ing's poems, but In spite of that we got along well together. If a man felt uls grcntled he could step outside the door and find 4,000,000 miles In which to take a walk and be sure of meeting no one. Irrllatlaa Mouirals. "There were irritating moments, of course. 1 remember once when three of us were In one sleeping bag, and 1 felt a de cided poke In the back and heard- a soft, sleepy voice saying, 'Excuse me, sir; if It's not glxinic .iou too much trouble, would you tel. hie' the time." " Lieutenant Shackleton said that the limit of the, Journey south was reached January , 1909, at 88.23, and showed a picture with the union Jack plumed In the snow, which was given him by Queen Alexandra. He described the Journey back on scant rations and said that they delighted In telling each other what they wanted to eat. In reality, he said, they ate frozen horse meat and nibbled on a biscuit to make It last longer. At the close of the lecture and moving pictures the lieutenant said that owing to the small crowd he would consent to an swer questions for a few moments and several were put to him by people in the audience. He was asked why he did not use dogs more on the trip, and said that it was because he learned from his former trip that the dogs could not stand the drift ing snow and that the pontes proved more successful. He announced that he will be Joined Sunday by one of the men who made the trip with him, Dr. Douglas Mawson. The Palimpsest club gave Lieutenant Shackleton a luncheon at the Omaha club Friday . afternoon at 1:30 and he was en tertained duiinp the day by the Military club of the Department of the Missouri headquarters. Friday evening he took din ner at the Henshaw In company with a number of the leading citizens of the city. iUPDlKESM jjf- iini 1P0IKEMIUINCC04 "If ever you try it, Forever you'll buy it" . M. C. A.
