THE ANTARCTIC CONTINENT.
K W as F irst Discovered by a Daring
Yankao Sailor In 1821.
History presents from time to
time some curious anomalies, and
not the least among these is the
story of the original discovery of
the great continent surrounding
the south pole, says Outing. A
inaccessible coast, guarded
im man’s approach bv fields of
impassable ice floes and bergs, it
resisted all efforts of the ablest of
early explorers to win its shores,
only to be discovered at last by a
boy of eighteen in command of a
little forty ton sloop.
Nathaniel Palmer was the lad’s
name, and he came of the best of
old New England seafaring stock.
After some preliminary training at
sea, young Palmer sailed in 1812 or
1814 as second mate of a bark
bound for the sealing grounds of
the south Atlantic. After some
weeks of fruitless exploration and
terrific struggles with the wintry
ilee of the region about Cape
orn they came at last to the south
Shetland islands and soon had fill­
ed the vessel's hold with a fortune
In furs.
This voyage made such a stir in
all the New England seaport towns
on their return that before many
years a second expedition was fitted
out and Palmer, now Captain Nat,
was given command of a little down
east sloop called the Hero, which
was sent along in consort with the
larger- vessels.
This diminutive
craft could hardly have been more
than sixty feet in length, but she
weathered successfully the rigors of
wind and sea and arrived in due
course at her destination.
At this time nothing was known
o f the existence of any land of
continental extent within the ant­
arctic circle— nor did Captain Nat
much care whether there was such
or not. What he was looking for
was seals. So when he came upon
a long stretch of coast line facing
to the north in the vicinity of the
sixtieth meridian west of Qreen-
wich he examined the shore for
possible rookeries and, finding noth­
ing but ice and penguins, sailed
away back again to the north’ard.
A few days after this the little
Hero fell in with two tall ships of
the Russian navy under Command­
er Bellingshausen. When young
Palmer went on board for lunch at
the commander’s invitation and
mentioned casually his discovery of
land to the south’a rd he must have
been surprised, indeed, to learn that
that which he in his little sloop had
blundered upon unsought ana had
turned away from in disgust, these
mighty ships of the exar of all the
Russia« had for two years been
seeking in vain.
Commander Bellingshausen, to
do him justice, gave young Palmer
full credit for his discovery, and
this— the first portion o f the ant­
arctic continent to be seen by man
— is set down upon the maps today
as Palmerland in enduring tribute
to the daring of the Yankee sailor
lad who first caught sight of it from
the deck of a little sailboat in the
year of grace 1821.

Getting Even W ith Justios.
The prisoner at the bar of the
police court was sore over his treat­
ment and could not conceal it
wholly.
“ If I should express my opinion
o f this court, your honor, he said,
rising from his chair, “ would you
fine me for contempt ?”
“ I certainly should I” replied the
judge decisively.
“Thank you,” bowed the prisoner.
" I wish to extend my congratula­
tions to your honor and all those
connected with the court for the

PRAYING FOR PREY.
T h s Mantis Sssms to Ba Doing That
Whila Awaiting Victims.
Most persons know the praying
mantis— that large, greenish, grass­
hopper-like insect which holds up
adoring arms as if venerating some
deity of the w tods or making an in-
! vocation— an oracle among insects,
1 as the old Greeks thought it. But
these attitudes of prayer conceal
the most atrocious habits. These
! supplicating arms, to fall into
j Fabre’s picturesque phrasing, are
i lethal weapons. These fingers tell
no rosaries, but exist to seise the
passerby. Although a member of a
vegetarian family, the mantis feeds
exclusively on its living prey. It is
a tiger in ambush, and if only it
had sufficient strength its ogreish
appetite and its horrible facility
of concealment by color and form
among the green leaves where
peaceful insects travel would make
it the terror of the countryside.
At first glance it does not look
very terrible. Its neck is flexible,
and it can turn its head and look
with sharp eyes in all directions,
but no formidable jaws affright a
victim. In its powerful uplifted
fore limbs lies the hidden danger,
the cruel trap. Each long thigh,
shaped like a flattened spindle, car­
ries on the forward half of its lower
face a doable row of steely spines,
alternately long and short, and
three needlelike spikes, longest of
all, rise behind the parallel rows,
between which the fore leg liee

This
fore part of the leg is similarly arm­
ed. but with smaller apikee, and
terminates in a hook with a blade
tike a pruning knife and a tip as
3harp as a needle. Handle the in­
sect incautiously and this armament
discovers itself to yon instantly,
thrusting its needles and blades
into your flesh, gripping yon in a
•tinging vise and forcing yon to
crush it to get free.
When the mantis is in repose
these weapons are folded and press­
ed against the chest, showing noth­
ing of their ferocity. The bandit’s
•word is sheathed, and it seems at
its devotions. But let a victim
oome within reach and the ruse—
if rase it be— is abandoned like a
flash. The three long joints of the
deadly fore limbs straighten and
•hoot out their talons, which strike
the victim like the unsheathed claws
of a cat and drag it back between

Profitable Diooord.
While passing an old- fashioned
inn in Scotland some tourists were
attracted by an aged bagpiper,
who was tooting atrocious sounds
through an instrument that was
both dilapidated and squeaky.
“ Great Jericho, Sandy 1” exclaim­
ed one in desperation. “ Why don’t
you have your bagpipe repaired?”
The old man ceased playing and
looked up in astonishment.

The First Walts.
The waits in its present form was
introduced about the year 1780, but
similar dances based on the same
principle (“ walzen,” or “ to turn” )
were popular many years before
that time. On Nov. 17, 1786, a new
opera by Vinzenz Martius, “ Una
Cosa Rara,” was performed in Vi­
enna. In the closing scene of this
opera a dance, which was called
“ T.angaus,” was introduced, and
this became the waltz, which soon
invaded not only the public places,
but the palaces, and became fash­
ionable.
