Her second "visit was in __S53: and her
third visit was in August 1S61" AVhen
.she want with great pomp and amid
general rejoicing.
This tim?, the Queen made a ?lelizht
ful trip to the Lakes of Killarney and
was entertained at "Muckross Castle. She
and the^Princc consort .?ailed on the
beautiful waters of the famous lakes
?ind Ihe Prince sang ballads as the yacht
courtesied across the waters In the cool,
defieious noonday for which Killarney
is noted.
This trip was described in .verse and
put to song by all the poets of the
kingdom.
It was shortly n.fter this trip that the
Prince consort died and the Queen de?
clared that she would never again visit
Ireland.
VISIT OF PRINCE.
After the death of the Prince consort
the Queen requested her son, the Prince
of AYales, to make the jour;:ey for her,
and in 1S65 he and the Princess of AA'ah-s
paid a flying visit followed by another in
ISTI.
Recollections of the memorable visit
of ihe Prince and Princess ?of Wales in
1S65 are .?till fresh, and no one Iilis for?
gotten the 'universal and fervent ex?
pressions of loyalty which it called
forth, in spite o l'Air. Parnell's repeated
demands that his followers should not.
recognize the visit and the injunction
o? the Aro'i'.-ishop of Cash el to preserve
a "digniiied reserve."
In 1S87 the 'Dukes of Clarence and
A'ork. the two sons of the Prince of
AVales. enjoyed a delightful journey to
I Dublin, where they wero sin-piously enl
teitaiiH-d. Five years later the Duke of
?Clarence died and Prince George succeed?
ed to liis place in the'line of direct suc
c?ssi?n to the English throne. .
AVhen the Duke'.of A'ork was married
i-i 1S33 he VMS urged to make Ireland
ths srcr.e of his honeymoon, but it was
not until 1S37 that he and his Duchess I
found time to leave for so long a jour- j
hey. j
Their trip corresponded to the last I
ene made by Victoria and Altert They
left England' in the morning on the
yacht Albert and Victoria, and arrived at
rao?n oit Kingston, where they were
n.et by the High Sherilf of Dublin and
escorted to the Vice-Regal Lodge, where
they became the guests of tho Earl
aud Countess C.idogun.
THE ROYAL TRIP.
Tlie ceremonies were the same as
?wore previoii.iy observed and similar
to all the royal welcomes that have al
\vays been extended to the royal fam
?jly.
The Duke and Duchess of York dis?
embarked at neon while a royal salute
was being fired ard the royal anthem
played. The guard of honor at the land?
ing stage and to the railway station was
the "West-Kent Regiment.
The railway station was elaborately
decorated "with flowers, and a special
train brought the Duke and [Duchess
to where they wero receiv??.! by Lord
iFrc>derick Roberts of Kandahar ami
Watcrford, Commander of the forces in
Ireland, and his ?lal'i, the Yorkshire
Light Infantry, furnishing the guard of
honor. All Uie troops in Dublin lined the
railway station to Dublin Castle, where'
the guard-of-honor was the Connaught
Rangers.
At the castle the royal visitors were
received by the Earl and Coutess Ca
dogan, and a salute was tired in Phoenix
Park, after whieh the Earl and Coun
Itess ?Ciidogan. with the staff of ?the
Lord-Lieu tenant, joined the procession
ami escorted tiie Duke and Duchess to
the Vice-Regal Lodge, where tiie guard
of-honor was furnished by tne Royal
IrisJi Constabulary.
The entire route was lavishly decorated
much of the fittings and trappings used
in London du: ing the jubilee fastl'/ities
being .utilized for the -purimse.
The remaining days ef the stay of tlie
royal pair in Dublin wore devoted to
visiting the sights of Dublin and to the
installation of the Duke of York us a
Knight of St. Patrick.
! The Queen ?hopes by her visit to Ire?
land to arouse all the latent patriotism
and also to convey to the Irish people
her thanks for their valor in the South
African war.

Dr. Rivers, Explorer. Says tho People
Havo Otit?rqwn the Earth's Hab
- i table Area.
A fresh impetus^ has been given to
work of explorers In the Arctics and in |
unknown lan,ds by the recently-pub- ?
lished statement of the Engiiah explor?
er, Dr. Rivers, that the population of j
the earth has outgrown its present acco
mmodations and that newer and larger""
quarters must bo found for its inhabi?
tants. Republics must be formed and
lands must be found for them.
AVhexe will the next republic be lo?
cated?
Tho Burghcs-s settled the subject years
ago when tV.cy migrated to South -"?fri?
ca and formed their republic. They elected
rulers, made laws, built up the country
and prospered.
Are all portions cf the earch so filled
up nov/ that future settlements arc im?
possible; will those who want to get
away in the overflow of any country
find It Impossible to select a spot which
shall be comfortable and fertile?
Hardly!
There are explorers out all Che time
looking for such a land, and any hour
may bring tidings of their success. Said
Dr. Rivers on the subject:
"AVith an unexplored area equal to
one-fifth of all the known land on this
globe, it can scarcely be claimed that |
the work of the explorer is finished. , <
"Even in America?North and South? j
there, arc two millions of square miles I
of which we know absolutely nothing. |
In Australia there is an c.iual tract of ?
Unexplored' territory- In ?Africa there J
are ever six millions of square n.iles of j
unknown land to attract the adventur?
ous traveller, and in the polar regions
there remain between nine and ten mil?
lions still unmapped.
"Surrounding the southern axis of the
earth, we are warranted In drawing the
coast-line of a vast unknown continent,
covering tho greater pa.rt of the territory
lying within the Antarctic circie. Such
lands are as now charted have been
sighted at a great distance, and tho
mapping is greatly in need of authentl
fifation. No one. or at least no one in
modern times, has passed a whole year
In the Antarctic, and such observations
as have been made have b?3en confined
to the short summer months.
"So little is known of this vast terri?
tory that speculation suggests that this
unknown, and, in many places, unap?
proachable, land, may prove to be a
continent, which, -with the outlying is?
lands, covers a region of eight million
square miles, an area equal to one-sixth
of the entire land surface of the globe?
a continent as largo as North -Ameri?
ca.
"Africa will soon be an open book, if
exporations in Uie future keeps pace
with what has been accomplished in the
past. A great part of tho work has been
by what might be called amateur ex?
plorers*?people who travel for amuse?
ment and to add strange and fierce wild
beasts to the game score.
"Frederick Jackson, in command of th->
expedition fitted out in England by A. C.
Harmswcwth to seek the North Pole by
way of Franz Josef Land, was long at
work on this polar problem; Nansen also
aimed for the same point by his own
way. whioh was to drift there In a soec
?.-?l'y-desl-med p?iip. and Robert Stein, of
the United States Geological Survey, went
to establish a new route by the way
of the west coast of Ellesmcre Land and
Jones Sound.
"For the exploration of the south
polar regions Dr. Frederick A. Cood. of
Brooklyn, who wl?_- surgeon of Poafy's
first nnd most successful expedition, de?
voted himself to raising the funds ne?
cessary to fit out. two vtBsspls to. proceed
there, one of which remained during an
entire winter.
THE GA3J>EN OF BDEN. ?
"But what do all these people expect
to ??d upon these unexpl?ri?d lands? "
"To be sure, -there' are those Who claim
that the Garden of Eden was located
at what is now the North Pole, and
say that, owing to the fact that the earth
Is fiatU-vied at th? poles, the surface
is so much n?sarer the internal fires that
the soil Is warm and the. verdure luxu?
riant, and that there sti'.I exist there
'the descendants of some of-the children
: of Adam and Eve.
"There was a Captain . Symmes, an
Englishman,' who lived for some years
in LuisvUIe, Ky., who had a theory that
there was 'a greater depression than the
twelve miles which constitute the dif?
ference between the polar and the equa,
tcrial axes of the earth would account
for, or.in fact, that there was a hole that
'ran directly through , tho Pirth from
pole to pole, and people lived on the
inside, as well as upon the orust of the
(earth. This was known as 'Symmcs'
Hole.' '
"Andr?e went to discover it. "?
"There was once a'man in one of the
Western towns ' in this country who had
a plan for lightening a load by means
oi gas that has never been applied to pol?
ar travelling.
*This AVestern thinker had an idea
that by making a double garment of
India rubber, one to fit tightly to his'
person, and tho other loose enough to
hold sufficient gas to take up the great?
er part of his weight, his natural strength
would enable him to travel rapidly and
easily" He had the suit made and put
it on one night, ns he didn't want to
excite ridicule that would attend a fail?
ure. Down to the gas-works he went
and had his garment inflated tintiti he
looked something like a gigantic foot?
ball.
"Then he started up the road and found.
that the ordinary effort of walking would
carry him along thirty or forty feet a-t
a step, pnd he had a most delightful and
exhilarating experience. Sometimes he
would run, and then his steps would be
a hundred feet apart, ami a jump would
life him easily ever four or fivehundrod
yards. He never enjoyed himself so much
in his life.
"A party clad in such suits might
travel with great facility in the North.
Neither humn-ocks, bergs nor lofty rocke
wculd stop them, and the rubber, gas
lined svits. would be absolutely imper?
vious to the cold."
