Even the fragmentary and incom- plete report of their achievements brought back by the relief ship has made it certain that the sum of \human knowledge will be largely increased by their investigations. The expedition has taken moving pictures that show every phase of the life of the seals, penguins and skna gulls.

A While ago you shovelled snow, But soon you’ll have the lawn to mow. Our spring poetry is beginning to ooze out. 1 Gardening has commenced, and so have the hens. The time has come again when tree planting, and the decoration of home surroundings can be. done with best returns for the outlay. It seems that the idea comes up every year about this time, and bubbles fortth like spring poetry. We have seldom allowed the occaâ€" sion to pass Without telling our readers the benefit of shade trees. and the future comforts a little expenditure at this particular season of the year would result in. We have endeavored also to pointI out the blessings posterity would or should shower on the heads of those who make the necessary ef- forts now. Our owm maple is the best tree for shading purposes, but is rather a slow grower, and those in a hurry to enjoy the comforts of their own labor should plant some kind that Will develop more rapidly.

Those who enter upon it must pay a great price. 'Dhey are entitled to all its rewards. a theory that has revolutionized much more than the science of medicine. The lives that have been lost in the pursuit of a cure for tuberculosis are as numer- ous as those that .«have been sacri- ficed in flhe search {or the poles, and yellow fever demanded a heavy toll even from those whol finally conquered it. I We who sit at ease and read of such achievements do not always realize the cost at which most of the knowledge that blesses the World has been obtained. We need to remind ourselves of _ the price that Columbus paid for the dis- covery of the Western continent, and of what Stanley suffered in order that light might shine in darkest Africa. We should remem- ber Pasteur’s laborious days and studious nigrhts, spent to establish eggs in various stages of develop- ment, which, when examined, will throw light on the life history of that curious bird.

T’he geologists have dis- covered marine fossils in the rocks on the mountains, and by ,a study of the antarctic conditions, have learned much about tne condition of the temperate zone during the ice age, when every valley held a glacier and every mountain was the mother of avalanches.
