" GROTESQUE STUPIDITY."""
lome of Stanley's Experiences With
' the African Natives.
The natives of central Africa are de
scribed by the late Sir Henry M. Stan
ley In his autobiography as being In
credibly stupid. He tells, for exam
ple, of one native wbo. with another
man, was sent la a canoe across a
river (o fetch a company of men to
camp. After waiting an hour Stanley
went to the river, where be found the
wo paddling each In an opposite direc
tion and blaming the other for his stu
pidity. They were in a passion of ex
tltement and quite unable to bear the
advice of toe men across t be river, wbo
were bawling directions to them bow
to manage their canoe.' '
Another stupid fellow was generally
saved from punishment because' his
mistakes were so absurd. One day we
were floating down the Kongo. Near
camping time, as he happened to be
bow man, I bade him atand by and
Kam t a ai II a4 Aisf baIva lha mm An
the bank to stop the boat In a Uttle
while we came to a fit place, and
fHl. -Hold hard. Kirnnao!" - f
"Please God. master," he replied and
forthwith sprang on shore and seised
the grass with both hands while we, of
course, were rapidly swept on down
stream. ..
. The boat's crew roared at the ridicu
lous sight. Nevertheless his stupidity
cost the tired men s bard pull up river,
for not every place was available for 4
camp. ; , . .
ICEBOUND ANTARCTICA.
Twloe as Large aa All Europe Is tho
South Polar Continent.
The antarctic continent baa been es
timated to bo at least twice as large
as Europe. The evidence of paleom
tology la to the effect, that Antarctica
was ones connected with tho 'more
northern lands, at least with South
America, and that In prehistoric agtfs
some tremendous convulsion of the
earth's crust resulted In the sinking of
the "submarine" floor, until in some
places It Is now 4,000 fathoms, or
more than four miles below the sur
face. All around the great land mass of
this continent there is a deep ocean
bed cutting It off from every other
land of the earth and setting It apart
as a region more unlike the rest of
the globe than any other continent or
island. i
Explorations have proved that lo
times before the advent of man upon
the earth this moat southern land bad
a temperate or eveo a warmer cli
mate. There are fossils, both animal
and vegetable, which indicate this.
The formation of the rocks In Antarc
tica also Is of volcanic orlcln and vol
canic activity, notubly in the case of
Mount Erebus, which is not yet ex

BOARDED AN ICEBERG.
Tho Floating Island 'That Wreck a
Ship Saved Its Crew,
Carious Indeed was the experience of
the crew of the German ablp Hansa
with- an Iceberg. The Hansa struck
an Ice ialaod In latitude S2 degrees a
little before midnight In 'a froealng
gale. The impact carried her bow tat
op on tho berg and Imbedded It firmly
In tho Ice. Her back was broken by
the force of the collision and before
morning was wrenched away from tho
forward part by the battering seas
and sank.
Wheo the Hansa struck tho boats
were lowered, but only one escaped
being swamped after pulling away
from" the doomed sulp. It was soon
found, however. that this boat was
leaking and that no amount of balling
would keep tt afloat more than a few
hours, so the mate In1 command of It
made for the berg and succeeded In
climbing lip on It to a place of tem
porary safety. From the broken m
bera of the Hnnna's bow the castaways
built a rude shelter. and snared sea
birds to eke out the scanty supplies
tbejr bad been able to save from the
ship.
As the Ice Island drifted farther
south into wanner waters and began
perceptibly to shrink the shipwrecked
men were a prey to constant fear that
tho melting maas might turn turtle an;
time and precipltatetbem all In the

7 saved them. Also they feared It
might "calve" and tho part breaking
away from too main bulk might carry
them with tt to destruction. Too con
stant grinding and -groaning -of the
great fco-jaft Oiled tbelr hearts with
constant terror, and the deserted seas
added to their despair.
But the berg held together for eight
months, and the Hansa's men traveled
TOO miles before they wore finally pick
