Commander Evans sai that, reckoning by the, progrese o the supporting parties, Capta,i r Scott ehould have retuned to R1.1 Point by March 17. _Regarding th shortage of fuel, he said that Scott had enough fuel to last a moat beyond the date of his e4ected re turn, The Terra Nova, brought every written ' record of the southern party, including the private diar ies, which will be handed to the re letives of the deed explorers.

'`There was evaporation," he said, "owing to the leather e washers of the OanS, and as the supplies were cut so fine, this made h a considerable shortage." Lieut. Evans declared that the rotmors that Seaman Evans had gone insane were cruel, scandalous and baseless, adding that he be- - hayed admirably. Capt. Scott, - ommancled Evans said, left in- - structions that no search parties - should leave the base to seek him. He added that it was beyond hu- man possibility for the base party to have saved Capt. Scott and his comrades. All Details 'Will Be Given. A despatch from ".London .says: In reply to a cablegram from the edi- tor of The Daily Chronicle inform- ing him of that paper's donation of £2,000 to the Scott memorial fund and asking for further newa of the expedition, Commander Evans begs to be excused from "going into the details, which inay ha painful in regard to the end of our beloved conirad.es." "The whole history of this expedition," adds Evans, "will certainly be given to the public in due ceurse, but please let us com- plete our work in quietness. We are pledged to do our utmost to bring. this expedition to aeettecesa- ful termination. Included, in that •the publication of- the scientific and other detads as a lasting tri- bute to those who have not been spared. Perhaps now you can -rea- lize why the official telegram waa no short. Surely its painful brev- ity needs no defence." What Official Report •Saki.. In connection with 'the foregoing if is interesting •to note that Lieut. Evans, in his official report, says in part: "Before Terra. Nova left for New Zealand last March Surgeon At- kinsone who had been left in charge of the western party until -Seett's return, despatched Gar•rard and Demetri, dog d.riven;,with two dog teame-10 assist the southern party, whose return •to Hat Point was expected about March 10, 1912. Atkinson would have aeoompanied this party, but was kept back in medical charge of Lieut. Evans, second in command, who, it will be remembered, nearly died of scurvy. 'Thio reliefe party reached One Ton Depot March 3, but were com- pelled to return March 10, awing primarily to dog food running short, also -to persistent bad wea- ther and pour condition of clogs, on account of strain of halal seaso.n's work. Dog tesme returned to Hut P•oint March 16, the poor Sznimals moistly frost-bitten and incapable of further -work. .Garrard collapsed through over -strained heart. His companion was also sick, and it was impossible to counnunicate with Came Evans, ship ha-ving left March 9, and open sea lying between At- kin•son. and Keohane. Only two men sledged out to Cor•ner Camp to render any help that might be wanted by southern party. They fought their way out to Corner Camp against the unusually severe weather, and, realizing they could be of no assistance, were forced to return to. Hut Point after denoting ono week's provisions. "On October 30," the official re- port says, '"it large party under Atkinson'well provisioned, set out. It divided into two sections, and one of them, apcier Wright, the Toronto man, found Scott'e•tent, in which were the ,bodies of Scott, Wil- son and 'lowers."

Great Continents Once Joined. The following are extracts from Lieut. Evans' Story of the work ac- complished by the Scott exploring expedition: "The general geological work done by the three parties, son h- ero, western and northern, is lite- ly to prove of great Isalite, especi- ally as furnishing evidence relative to a former connection betwe sn Australasia, and South America through the Antarctic Contin'ent." After describing the collection of fossil plants, coal, corals of primi- tive form, the -writer continues: "The notes of the geologists are necessarily not at present avail- able. Until experts have had ace tees to this material it is unwise to make definite inferences. "In general terms it may be said that there is proof of temperate conditions of climate having ob- tained in the Antarctic at two peri- ods of time in .past ages." Impressive .Service in St. Paid's. A despatch from London says:' "The noise pf the mourning of a mighty nation" sounded thrillingly here on Friday when the British people through their representative heads joined with London' s crowd in a solemn requiem to the brave dead now lying in an icebound tomb in the Antarctic desert. King George, the members of the Cab- inet and the heads of the navy and army and other national services shared in a stately ceremony in which also the nations of the world associated themselves with Great Britain through their Ambassadors. The vast cathedral of St. Paul, which is the resting -place of Neleon and many other great dead whose n•ames are on Great Britain'hero roll, was manifestly the .fitteet place for the lofty eites to Captain Scott and comradee.

"I loved coffee and drank it for break- fast, but only learned by accident, as it were, that it was the cause of the constant, dreadful head- aches from which I suffered every day, a,nd of the nervousness that drove sleep from my pillow and so deranged my stomach that every- thing.

So far as the Canadian corimanies are concern- ed, the actual net revenue after de- ducting ta•xee was as follows :-- Canadian Express, $283,281 Do- minion' Exprese, 8345,288 ; danadi- a,n Northern Express, 8192,496. Measuring this against capital lia- bility, the percentage of net rev- enue was :-.0anadian, 16.6; Domin- ion, 31.0;' Canadian Northern, 19.2. The average receipts from opera- tion were $10,994,418.10, less ex- press privileges of $4,892,242.49, Dollars -- Making the operating revenue $6,- 102,175.61. The operating expens- es were $4,880,120, making the to- tal net revenue $1,222,055. The op- erating mileage of express com- panies is returned at 30,445, as against 27,586 in 1911. It was explained in connection with the report Of last year that it had been found impracticable to make an accurate separation of the business done by American express companies operating in Canada from their aggregate business. The volume of business done in finantial paper, such as money or- ders, checks, etc., was $56,995,122, an increase of over $2,000,000 corn - pared with last year.

Zam-Buk Worked a Miracle ell Healing. Reverend Gentleman Bully Corroborates. Mies Kate L. DollIver, of Caledonia, Queen's Co., 01.8., says; "1 must add my testimony to the value of zam-Buk Ulcers and sores broke out on my arm, and although I tried to heal them by using various preparations, nothing seemed to do rue any good. The sores spread until from fingers to elbow was one mass of ulceration, "I had five different doctors, and faithfully carded out their instruo. lions, I drank pint after Dint of blood medicines, tried salve after salve, and lotion after lotion; hut it was of ne avan, " father then took me thirty miles to see a well-known doctor. He photographed the arm.and hand. This photograph was sent to a New York hospital to the specialist; but they sent word they eould do nothing further for me, and I was in despair. "One day a friend asked me if 1 had tried Zam-Buk. I said I had not, but I got a box right away. That that box did me more good than all the inedl- eine I had tried up to that time, f30 I continued the treatment. Every box healed the sores more and more until, to make a long story short, Zatmouk healed all the sores completely. Every- body in this place Imows of my ease, and that it is Zam-Buk alone which cured me." Minister corroborates. -The Rev. W. B. M.
