Great Britain hessudtlesily discov- ered gmpng her numerous possessions two Islands away down in the South Atlantic, far Brom tile usual seafaring routes, which are indicated by red spots on the map. To an English- , man, anything colce'edred on the map oe the world, means that ,that thing belongs' to England, It may be An" trails, India., Canada ora small is- land ' no larger than a fair-sized ice- berg. A few days ago.. the British Colonial 'Office announced that an exclusive license had been granted to a Nor- -wegfan company to • occupy Bouvet and Thompson Islands, "belonging to the Kin'g," for ten years in connection with whaling and the collection 'of guano. This caused =moment at Oslo, and the Norwegian Government, through its envoy in London, promptly in- formed the British Government that Bouvet Island was "annexed" by Nor- way on Dec: 1 last, when it was visit- ed by the Norwegian Antarctic Ex- pedition, which had hoisted the Nor- wegian. flag and begun whale and seal 'hunting. Bouvet and Thompson Islands fig- ure on the map of the South Atlantic ablest 1,750 miles south of Cape Trwn. But is there a Thompson Is, land or did some ancient mariner have a pipe dreane null deceive him- self into the belief that he saw such an island? Norwegian whalers de- clare that they have never come across any trace of this island, and even at the Hydrographic• Depart- ment of the British Admiralty its exis- tence is registered as "doubtful." Mystery also surrounds Bouvet re- ined. Its French discoverer, Who gave his name to it in 1739, was not sure, if 1t was an island or part of a continent, and he was unable to go. ashore. More than thirty years af- terward Captain Cook twice failed td' find the 'island, which Bouvet had charted incorrectly. In 1812 Captain Norris, an English- man engaged on a sealing cruise, re- discovered the island and -rechristen- ed it Liverpool Island, in honor, of the then British Prime Minister. Norris got a party ashore, but the men were greeted with a tremendous blizzard and were compelled to spend a week there. The famous Arctic .explorer Ross sailed In the Erebus and Terror to find the Island. He failed, as did Moore in 1845. All this raised doubts as to whether such an island really existed. Later explorations have proved that Bouvet Island does really exist. Small in area, it is walled with grist ice -bound cliffs and sladei s. It is prom -ably the tip of an almost sub- merged volcano, two sides of whose crater rise to peaks some 3,000 feet above sea level.

A simple and safe remedy for the common ills of babyhood and child- hood should be kept 1n every home where there is either a baby or a young child. Often it is necessary to give the little ones something to break up a cold, allay fever, correct. sour stomach and banish the irrita- bility that accompanies the cutting of teeth. Experienced mothers always keep Baby's Own Tablets in the home as a safeguard against the troubles that seize little ones so suddenly and the young mother can feel reasonably safe with a box of these Tablets at hand and ready for emergencies. Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative that act without gripping and they are absolutely guar- anteed free from opiates or other harmtnll drugs.. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. 'Williams' Medicine Co., Broclrvllle, Ont. The Muskrat In Winter A muskrat house is more than a shelter for It often represents a store of food for possible "lean days." The busy little creatures will use hay in. building their houses as winter comee. on, then by degrees eat down the house and rebuild it with other grasses. If you live -near a lake and desire to help the muskrats during a particular- ly bad winter, out a hole through the ice and place an inverted box over it. The muskrats will do the rest, daub- ing the sides of the hole with mud and hay so it will not freeze over, and lin- ing the box with bedding. The muskrat really prefers to search for his food in the water. It will be a service to him It you break the ice along the shores of the lakes and streams. He can drill through the ice, but sometimes every moment counts, if the little animal is desper- atelyhungrY. A food famine in winter, the exhaus tlou of the supplies in the house, brings out time intolligeiCe_.el musk- rats. Working together, with a com- mon purpose, they swim under the fee and seerch the stream -bottom ' for food. When food is located the muskrats build a store -house on the ice near it. No matter.'how thick the ice, they will drill through it, and each "rat" must do his share. The animal that refuses to take his turn at drilling is ostra- cized, driven away by the others to e111£t for himself. The muskrat is well equipped to live uncles. the ice.
