London. Feb. 11 ? Captain Scott,
the southern explorer perished with
his entire expedition, when he made
his lllfated trip to the aouth pole.
The steamship Nova is In communi
cation with the wireless at Welling
ton. New Zealand, and has sent
the Information that the south pole
was discovered by Scott in Janu
ary, 1911. and while there he dis
covered the records made by Capt.
Amundson. I'pon their return the
Scott part.- were caught by a terri
ble storm which destroyed their
ramps and left them to freexe on
the snows. But meager accounts of
the finding of the party can be ob
tained until the Nova lands at
some tel?traphtc point
tendon, Feb U? The Royal
Geographical Society has received
word from the Scott relief party on
the ship Nova, this morning, con
veying brief information regarding
the fate of Captain Scott and his
party of south pole explorers.
The death of Captain Scott and
his four associates are reported,
and with the exception of Capt.
Oatfw. the bodies have all bern
found. Scott wrote his last mes
sage presumably on March 29, 1913.
saying that the disaster which had
overtaken the party was not due to
faulty organisation, but death was
coming to them through the mis
fortunes of temperatures. The
storms were of unusual violence,
against which no human being
could make progress.
A cairn was constructed over the
frosen bodies of the explorers and
the place marked for the guidance
of other explorers who may venture
Into the great white waste In obed
ience to the lure that leads men on.
London, 1:15 p. m. ? Among the
last papers l*ft by Captain Scott
was an appeal to the British gov
ernment to take care of the famil
ies of the men who were dying with
htm in the Antarctic. Premier A ?
qulth spoke In a public meeting to
day very Impressively on the hero'c
death of the beloved Captain. The
large hall and galleries were crowd
ed and the huge audience wept as
one person when the Premier dwelt
upon the dying words of the un
selfish man, who onl> thought of
others u the chill of death wai
creeping over him.

THE MISTAKES OF LIFE.
Life is spent m learning how to
live. Mistakes are inevitable. If
thev were not, there would be no
growth, no conquest, no new wis
dom. The best man u not he who
never makes mistakes, but he who
never penpits them to daunt him.
who accepts no failure as final,
who nses wiser every time he falls,
who has ever the soul's fine cour
age to begin anew.

HAVE A DEFINITE AIM.
No life amounts to much until
it has a program? something defi
nite. something particular. Noth
ing else can take the place of it.
Lduciton ran net, talent cannot,
genius ? annot, lurd work cannot.
Until tliere is a definite aim the
energies will run to waste, the
ability be squandered. The facul
