ton from intoxicating drinks on the part Of the

THE NORTHEAST PAsSAGK-The news from

the swedish explorer In the front rank OF those
caring men who have so many times braved
Che dangers and discomforts OF the Arctic
region, ana SO often with little TO show as prac-
tlcal results Of their laDors. Most OF the voy-
ayers whose attempts to reach the Pole or to
seek northern passage between the two great
oceans make up the exciting story OF Arctic
navigation have sailed from east to west, and
nave made the waters north OF America

SKIOLD determined to solve the question
whether or not there is navfgaOle water
north OF Asia, and he has proved that there fs
IL Is TOO soon even TO speculate about the prac-
tlcal value OF his achievement. 1t may seem az
nrst improbable that valuable vessels OF CON-
merce will ever undertake the passage TO and
from Europe by way OF Behrfng Strait when
NordenSkJold has accomplished ft only after en-
counter1ng great peril and after fears had been
entertained that he and his ship were lost But
must De remembered that he is the pioneer
Voyager over this route and now that it is
established that such route exists clear OF Ice
at certain seasons, future explorations and sur
veys may show that the voyage may be made
with comparative safety. The Jeanette expe-
dit1on, which Will soon sail from California VIII
