Land Where Sir Ernest Shackleton
Sleeps Wat Discovered by the
Famous Captain Cook.
South Georgia Island, where Sir
Ernest Shackleton will sleep on the
fringe of the wild and frozen soli
tudes against which he opposed the
might of a hero's will, Is In about the
same latitude as Cape Horn, which lies
1,200 miles westward of It.
When Captain Cook was making one
of his historic voyages around the
world in the Eighteenth century lie
happened on South Georgia Island, it
Is recorded. At first he thought It
might be the "terro Incognia Australls"
he was in search of, so he went ashore
and as he recorded In his diary, "took
possession of the country" in his maj
esty's name, under a discharge of
small arms."
When the great circumnavigator ex
amined his discovery a little more
closely and found It to be a mere
bunch of icy mountains, he concluded
that it was "not worth the discovery."
Nevertheless he "called this land the
Isle of Georgia In honor of his maj
esty." His majesty, by the way, was
none other than George III.
A hundred years later the seafar
ing men of New England came to the
conclusion that South Georgia Island
was not as worthless as Captain Cook
had supposed. It was a great place
for fur seals. They slaughtered more
than 1,000,000, virtually exterminating
them In that part of the Antarctic.
Then came a harvest of "elephant oil,"
extracted from the blubber of the
sea elephaut, the giant of the seal
family.
HOUSEHOLD WORDS NOT OLD
In Everyday Use Today, but Really
Have Not Long Been Incorpo
rated in the Language.
Most persons probably think that
the word "starvation" is as old as the
language; but it Isn't. It was first
used in 1775 In a speech made in par
liament by Henry I Hindus, who In
consequence became widely known as
"Starvation Dundas." r
"Intensify" and "outsider" are two
words less than a hundred years old.
The English poet, Coleridge, delib
erately coined the former word because
there was no other In existence to ex
press the particular shade of meaning
which he wished to convey; and "out
sider" came Into being In 1844, during
the convention that nominated James
K. Polk for President. The delegates
were subjected to uncomfortable pres
sure kf the throng of spectators gath
ered without the hall, and some one
happily described It as a pressure
from the "outsiders." The term was
taken up by the reporters apd at once
became popular.
Other words unknown until the mid
dle of the Seventeenth century In
clude such now familiar ones as
"sculptor," "umbrella," "opera," "sui
cide" and "peninsula," while Bentley
In the Eighteenth century hod actual
ly to defend himself for using such
strange terms as "timid," "concede,"
"repudiate "'idiom'' and "vernacu
lar," and George Campbell In 1770
hesitated to use such queer new words
as "originate," "sentimental" and
"criminality."
Napoleon Relic Stolen,
The sofa on which Napoleon I rested
on the day before the Battle of Jena
has been stolen from the Grunnen
Imum Inn by Germans. This is not the
first time that relics of the great cap
tain tempted the cupidity of "collec
tors." In 1804, the saber presented by
the city of Paris to Napoleon on the
occasion of the birth of the king of
Itome was stolen from the castle of
Rtolzenfelds. This saber had been
found, It Is said, by the Prussians In
the Imperial conch after the Battle of
Waterloo. The hilt nnd scabbard were
of solid gold, encrusted with precious
stones. At the same time the robbers
made away with I'rlnee Murnt's saber,
which was nlso very valuable, nnd
several other souvenirs, Including
Mueller's sword. From Le Petit
I'arlslen. (Translated for the Kan
sas City Star.)
The Right Way.
Motorists on the highway between
Greenfield and Pendleton have been
having considerable difficulty in getting
through a certain bad spot In the road.
A few days ago nn automobile sunk
to axle depths, but, after a titanic
straggle, succeeded In backing out.
The destination was forward, however,
so the driver went to a farmhouse
near by and asked a boy whether there
was auy other road he could take to
Pendleton.
"Only road to Pendleton," the boy
answered. "Ain't no other way."
"Oh, there must be some other way,"
the motorist Insisted.
"Nope, no other way. Just go on
Into the hole and pa will be along In
a little bit an' pull you out for $4."
