He has decided tolo cate a(perminant line of'steamers be tween Triest and .

It e is very probable that in Wle neir ft i ture Charleston will become one of a the .most-important- immigrant. sta-. tions in the United States.

Her name at present 'is the~ imrod, but she will soon, ei ret chrilened the Endurance, and then if hr owner's dreams are realized the *orld will hear frgm her. Tf(e Endurance' is -at pi-esent being fitteg out for e purpoga of r-aking an Antarctiec -trip nrider-'tlie command of iAeut., E. H.:Shiaejdetoni, who,: it will.be recalled, made the farthest poirij0 south-82 .degr&.es 17 minutes as one of the rhemliers of,.the famous Discovery party. When you first look at the Nimrod --and still more when you go on board of her-you are not very fav orably impressed with her as a sea going ship. She lies so low in the wat r -a appars not to speak profane V. such a re:ilar tn) of a Ioat tha me marvels that any one would dar ,o o to sea in her at all. It is only when you meet Lieut 3hackleton and encounter her darinc ommander, Captain England, and ier chief 'engineer, Mr. Dunlop, thai rou realize that they mean business vith the Nimrod. Indomitable courage is shown ir their faces, particularly that ol ,leutenant Shwkelton, who has jusi onsented to make an exclusive state pent, in which he fully discusses his ovel and daring plans. The chief in command of the An arctic expedition demonstrates to rou in a few minutes' conversation hat -he is thoroughly in earnest. Con act with Lieut. Shackelton for a hort while gives one the impression hat reaching the south pole is a mere matter of course. He is a broad houldered, tall, squarely built young aa.n, whose frame seems to be one of rn,. while his countenance has that ritish bulldog look that seems to aean succes in any arduous adven ure. The .wite met him recently at the *es of-th Antarctic expedition in teggn tre^t, "Iondon, and he has nade a statement in which he fully Xplains why he intends to reach th >uti1rt pp. It: ,ill -seems extremely imple when you know how.

"A special c'ompass platform wil be erected at a heht of betweel thii'. tild fort feet f-oi'UM tile (dek, and all iron fittings in its neighbor hood will be replaced by brass fit tings. Regular magnetic observa tions will be taken, and every 500 miles the ship is to be swung for de. viation and variation. "About the boat herself, she may not appear outwardly to be very at tractive, but she has a magni#eent hull. Where a big Atlantic . liner would be crushed in the ice like an eggshell the Endurance, with her solid English oak hull, will resist alU pres sure. This has in fact, been proved time and again. She was one of the best of seal fishing boats and- her ice record is magnificent. iThe Endurance, :lespi'e her Wvor.1 weary appearance, has a magni ficent record. She was built at St. John's, N. F., and it is said that her record as a sailing ship includes the capture of 350,001 - seals. Sne. has made fortunes many times ever for her owners who operated her preVioi to her purchase by the south pole ex plorers. The Endurance was only re cently caught in some big ice fields, but. came through unsctateied. "The return of the Endurance for our party has. been fixed for about the eighth of January, 1909. Against any possible failure of the ship to' keep the appointment the landing pari,, wxill be doubly guarded. No only are we taking out with us food supplies for two - full years, but we will be provided with a first elass life boat equipped with a motor engine and capable of carrying provisions to last a party of twelve for two and a half months. "As for food supply, we have stu died this question down to the final auaiysis. Our foods are prepared with the utmost care. The tins they are packed in are of triple thickness aad are doubly painted. Every paricle of food packed is of the best. As 'I sufterea, terribly from s::urvy on my L rst Antarctic trip I know the value o* this careful attention to the food .ly, We are going 4tieily . 4ithout vegetables, as they d6 no* keep, carrying .only the best meats and other eatables.

With the return of spring efforts wilL be made to extend the line of de pots another hundred geographical miles to the south--hat is, to within 500 geographical miles of the pole. "As on the Discovery expedition the party which will attempt to reach the south pole will be limited to three members, including myself. With us we will take six of the Siberian pon ies ahd the motor ear. It will be driv en by a spirit which will work satis factorily in low temperatures. Great hopes are entertained of its value for traction purposes, but it is an experi ment, and the chances of the expedi tion's success are far from being cen tred in any such novel means of loco- 4 motion. "The use of Siberian ponies in the Antarctic is also in the nature of an experiment, but the hardiness and strength they have developed on the bitterly cold plains of eastern Siberia where they are accustomed to live in the open all through the winter, justi fy the hope that the experiment will be attended with good results. With all the minutely careful plans we have made we are hopeful of success." -W. B. Northrop in Washington Star. Tangled. Ladies Home Journal. Frederick of Prussia had a great mania for enlisting gigantic soldiers into the Royal Guards, and paid an enormous bounty to his recruiting of ficers for getting them. One day the recruiting sergeant chanced to espy a Hibernian who was at least seven feet high; he accosted, him in English and proposed that he should enlist. The idea of military life and a large bounty so delighted Pat that he im mediately consented. . "But unless you can speak German the king will not give you so much." "Oh, be jabers,'' said the Irish man, "sure, I don 't know a word of German." "But,'' said the sergeant, "you can learn in a short time. The king knows every man in the guards. As .oon as he sees you he will ride up and ask how old you are; you will say 427' in German; next, how long have yo+ been in the service; you must re ply, 'Three weeks'; finally, as to thether you are provided with food and clothes,~ you answer,.'Both.' r Pat soon learned his German an swers but nev6r dreamed of getting faniliar with the questions. In three weeks he appeared before the king in review. His majesty rode up to him. Paddy stepped forward with "'present arms.' "How old are you?'' said the king. "Three weeks,'' said' the Irishman. "How long have you been in the service?"' asked his majesty. "Twenty-seven years." "Am I a fool or are you?'' roared the king. "Both,'' replied Patrick,- who was immediately sent to the guard room. but pardoned by 'the king when the -atter understood the facts of the fase. FNEWBERRY S. C.
