British Explorers to Mi ktl Complete Survey of Ant- arctic Continent„ To Antarcttr.a, roof of the world, for six scare' work, is shortly to sail the most completely outfitted polar ex. pedition ever assembled. Alas for ro. mance, however, its aim is not glory, but a cohiplete commercial survey of the white continent and the encircling seas. The British imperial Antarctic Expedition, as it is called, is backed by great governmental, scientific, and financial interests, which have raised $760,000 to insure its complete suc- Cess, First of all, cartographers want the coast lino charted, and limits found for the great central plateau. Then, they ask, does the mountain chain along the west coast of Ross Sea stretch unbroken across the continent, forming a continuation, except for 650 miles, of the South American Andes? Hero, obviously, is work for the ex- pedltion's airplane, of which, again, more later. With the nation's pocket- book in mind, Britain wants to know the extent of the coal, manganese, granite, marble, and ruby deposits al- ready located. Where, again, are the breading places, the secret rendezvous of the whales, 12,000 of whom in a re- cent year yielded $10,000,000 worth of oil, glycerin, soap, margarine, ferti- lizer, and other byproducts? Aus- tralia, Naw Zealand, and South Africa want Antarctica's climate charted, that the uheteorologists at home may trace the cyclones of the southern hemis- phere from their inception. Scientists throughout the world, finally, are de. mending information of electrical con- ditions near the pole, that they may found on established fact their intri- cate studies in terrestrial magnetism. On the Stout Ship "Terra Nova" The ship chosen to bear the party to Antarctica Is the "Terra Nova," a seasoned whaler whose wooden sides have withstood the battering of many voyages within the polar circle. The vessel was first heard of when it went to Captain Scott's rescue in 1004. Ad- miring then its strength and general layout, the captain later chose it to bear him southward in 1910 on the trip • that won the pole but cost bis life. But the "Terra Nova" of 1920 is to be even better adapted to her work II an the ship of 1910. Thus splendidly equipped, the Bri- tish Imperial Antarctic Expedition will sail from England in June of this year. Wellington, New Zealand, will be the last port of call, and will be left behind to October. A thousand miles through the mingled waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans will then bring the ad- venturers to the limit of the floating ice, and a day or two later, to Mao. quarte Island, which will be surveyed in short order. Another southward journey of the same length, through constantly thickening ice floes, will bring them to Scott Island, where three scientists, with their hut, will be marooned for a year's investigation. Tho ship will now be in the midst of the pack, ceaselessly dodging icebergs, and often ramming the scattered floes, wlhich in a few months will cement themselves into a continuous mase, Antarctica's "summer" months, It must be remembered, are November, December, January, and February. During this time the unsetting sun brings the mercury very nearly to 90 deg. F. This the explorers call "hot weather." To Pol e b Airplane. pIane. Meanwhile, the "Terra Nova" will have sailed along the barrier's 400 - mile front to the Bay of Whales, where the airplane will be put together, and a start made, about Christmas Day, 1920, for the pole, 900 miles to the Routh. A nonstop flight unfortunately will be Impossible, as the level ex- panse of the barrier is terminated, 400 miles to the south, by the mountainous escarpments of• the central plateau. So, at the foot of Axel Melberg Glacier, discovered and named by Amundsen• during his rush to the pole in 1911, will be established a depot ot food and gasoline. Lightened in every possible way, the big plane will then rise from the barrier surface, make ire spiral climb for altitude, and finally dart southward at 11,000 feet, If the plane conies to grief on the polar plateau, the crew of three, under Captain Wil- kins, will attempt to draw their sledge back to the depot. On their return to- the Bay of Whales the Terra Nova" will pick them up, then cruise north at full speed, for the days will Pe growing short and the pack will be showing a deeit'e to catch and hold the alp for the winter, The plane Is expected to prove valu- pblo, too, for the transportation of Supplies sent inland from the ship, ',S'he "Terra Nova" will, of course, be locked in the pack ice every winter, but probably far enough from shore to escape the annihilation which over Overtook Shacltleton's "Znduranoe" In 1015. In the early summer of 1929, if NVorytlting goes well, the "Terra ova" will reach New Harbour once Raora, take aboard the long -exiled scientists with their predlousimports ilnd specimen cases, and eall north foal :Vellhngton, which eleauld be reach$d i10 February, the fol to !n8 y o a at I Aluorica'a 81ou0oe Dog OAmeOle11 nook on 130G DISLASES and Tow t0 read Mailed Tree to nay Ad - di em d-die" by tin.

A scientist has stated that comets actually sprinkle our world with dis- ease germs! The old belief that pestilence fol- lows In the wake of meteors may, therefore, have a great deal of truth 10 it. A short time ago a meteor fell into Lake Michigan, U.S.A., and since then the attention of scientists has been focused upon the fact that our earth is at present undergoing the greatest known visitation of comets. The pestilence known as the Black Death, which visited Europe and Asia in the fifteenth century, and caused the most appalling mortality, followed the visit of a great comet. The mysterious influenza from which the world has suffered so much lately began soon after we were immersed In the tall of Halley's comet. It has been proved that while some comets are only masses of gas, most of them are made up of enormous swarms of meteors of all sizes. Scientists, including Lord Kelvin and Sir Oliver Lodge, hold that the majority of comets are fragments of worlds torn to pieces by some cause or other. In those comets which origin- ated in the destruction of worlds, the disease germs or organisms would have been carried away with the de - bras and remained in a dormant state in the cold of space. There is no limit to the time certain germs can remain asleep. They are known to remain dormant for count- less ages in the sun -baked deserts of the world and an the frozen soil of the Poles. When, therefore, these germs are projected into our temperate atmos- phere by comets, it is thought by authorities .that they awaken from their long sleep and are again render- ed active and dangerous to the earth's inhabitants. Buy Thrift Stamps. Annual Climbing Vines While waiting for clematis, wisteria and other permanent vices to make sufficient growth, annual vines may be grown each year at porch or window. They make a very desirable screen or shade when trained on a trellis of pro- per construction, and most of them bloom profusely from midsummer till killed by frost. A more pleasing ef- fect will usually result where several: kinds are planted together. For luxuriant growth and dense shade, there is nothing equal to the, wild cucumber, but the lower leaves are likely to turn yellow late in the summer, unless the vines are kept well watered, The moonflower and morning glory, in various colors, are favorites; a trellis covered with them presents a solid mass of blooms against the dark green foliage as long as growth con- tinues. Cypress vine possesses a delicate beauty that makes it very desirable to grow before a window. Balloon vine is of slower growth, but when planted in connection with morning glory or wild cucumber, the contrast creates a pleasiug effect. It is a common mistake to plant vines too near a porch or house wall. A suitable bed should be spaded up at least two feet from the foundation of the house, and the soil should be made rich with leaf mold or manure of a similar nature. If wild cucumbers are allowed to grow two feet apart, the vines will make sufficient growth to cover a trellis ten or twelve feet high. Morning-glory and moonilower should stand no more than a foot apart, and the other vines about the same. A suitable trellis Is made by setting two substantial posts of the right length In the ground, and stretching poultry netting of the right length from one to the other. The trellis should be provided before the vines form tendrils. When vines are trained upon a trellis of this kind, they do not cling to the wall and' discolor the woodwork. The ahade is more effec- tive, while the air circulates freely be- tween vines and wall. When the vines have reached the to of the A trellis, they may be trained to form a canopy on strings leading to the wall over the window or porch. If early cultivation Is given, and wafer supplied in abundance, there is. no growth about the place that will prove more attractive throughout the season than a trellis covered with an- nual climbing vines. Another use for vines, besides shad- ing porches and windows, is screening unsightly buildings—outdoor toilets, for instance. Also, fences can be made more pleasant when covered with vines. Rubbish piles can be hid- den by a screen of vines.

No pestilence in years has caused more widespread suffering than the epidemic of influenza which swept over Canada in the fall and winter of 1918-19 and again this winter. The danger from this trouble is seldom over when the characteristic symp- toms, the fever, headache and the de- pression of spirits have passed away. Influenza leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired di- gestion and over -sensitive nerves. Men and women who were robust before stricken with influenza find their bodies racked by pains previously un- known to them. This condition 1s due to an abnormal thinning of the blood and leaves the system an easy prey to other serious troubles. This is the time when the convalescent from in- fluenza should build up the blood, with a reliable blood -making tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Weak blood means impoverished nerves, im- paired digestion, a feeling of tiredness after even slight exertion, and some- times even more serious symptoms. When the blood regains its rich red quality the organs of the body tune - tion naturally. In fact, building up the 'blood will vitalize the whole system. The experience of Mr. Andrew Marty, Bathurst, N.B., will prove of value to a host of influenza sufferers who still suffer from the effects of the disease. Mr. Marty says:—"The new life and consequently new hope brought into my life through the use of Die Williams' Pink Pills le almost beyond my power of expression. Fol- lowing a severe attack of influenza in 1918 I found myself rapidly failing in health, and was naturally much alarmed. I began to lose in weight, could not eat, did not Bleep well, and in a word I was reduced to a mere shadow. I was forced to discontinue work because of my weakened condi- tion and things had a very blue out- look, I tried a number of suggested remedies, but without benefit. And then one day Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were suggested to me. I acted on my friend's advice, began taking these pills and soon felt an improvement. Every day I seemed to grow stronger, and after four weeks' treatment I felt fully restored to my old-time health. From my own experience I Leel that, if given a fair trial, therm is no medi- cine superior to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in building up a run down sys- tem." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a tonic, not a stimulant, They build up the blood, and not only the disastrous af- ter affects of influenza but also troub- les due to poor blood, such as anaemia, rheumatism, indigestion and the gener- ally worn-out feeling that affects mo many people, disappear. You can get these pills through any dealer in merit - eine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont, Mighty Kitchens.
