not be successfully prosecuted without
a daily map of the whole northern
hemisphere, and the great blank a
of the arctic region upon our simulta-
neous International chart has long been
u subject Of regret to meteorologists.
| was, therefore, pleased to have an
opportunity, with Your permission, to
carry out the promises of my predeces-
sor, and to cooperate with the interna-
tional committee on polar research,
which has during the past two years
organized a system of stations in both
the arctic and antarctic regions.n q
These stations will conduct stimuli
taneons hourly or bi-hourly observa-
lions IN meteorology, magnetism, and
tides, and special observations on grav-
ity, auroras, earth currents, earth
quales, sc. The general object is to
accomplish by observations made In
concert at numerous stations, such ad-
ditions to our knowledge as cannot b
acquired by isolated or desultory trav-
cling parties. No special attempt Will
be made at geographical exploration,
and neither expedition is in any sense
an attempt to reach the North Pole.
The single object kept In view is to elu-
cidate the phenomena Of the weather
and the magnetic needle. as they occur
In America and Europe, by means Of
observations taken In the region where
the most remarkable disturbances seem
to have their origin"

The play of Michael Strogoff, now being
presented at Boston Theatre. is attracting
magnificent; there is a ballet of fifty young
women; thirteen horses are seen upon the
stage at one time; the acting is excellent and
the music charming. 1t is the hit Of the

produce the Mascot in this country, will
probably be in Augusta before the close Of

humor and honey pathos, the author appears
to have succeeded in giving us purely
American drama, based on incidents that are
