LUCIEN YOUNG,
Nearly Frozen to Command an
Expedition to the Polar Region
The House Committee Refuse
TO Aid the Enterprise.
Special to the courisr.JOurnal.

Special to the Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The bill
for sending another exploring party
toward the North Pole had an iceberg
thrown at it in the room of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs this
morning, in the shape of report dead
against it. Only last night Master
Lucien Young, Of the navy, who was
mentioned in the bill as the leader Of
the expedition, said he hoped it weuld
pass, and further said he intended to
go anyhow. Young and Schwatka
have theories about going, which lead
them to the frozen center of longitu-
dinal calculations. Schwatka has been
once, and now has bill before Com
gress for some extra pay on that 40.
count. He went with the
Hayes expedition. Young has
been in so many remarkable ad-
ventures since he left the quiet of
Central Kentucky to 90 as cadet to
Annapolis, that he feels the dulluess
Of life here, and is set upon his North
Pole scheme. He thinks he can steer
clear Of the obstacles that have in one
way and another broken up the ships
sent after each other, and cannot see
why the navy should not be doing
something in the way Of exploring and
taking observations as we'll as the
Weather Bureau, which manages to
get the government to fit out ships and
pay the expenses Of trips to the North
year after year. 1t is by no means
improbable that there will be an expe-
dition, with Young at the head of it,
he is so persistent and so we'll known
as one who would not shrink from
undertaking the utmost that may be
done. 1t is limited that James Cor
don Bennett would back such another
expedition.

How Prize Fighters Die,

Ben Hogan, the reformed pugilist,
lately told a Chicago Ne,os reporter that
prize fighters die prematurely of weak.
ness and disease brought on by their
injuries. In fact, they die at or before the
time when, if they had not been prize
fighters, they would have been at the
prime of life. Charley Gallager died
at the age of 80, of consumption,
caused by an injury received in his
fight with Davis Davis fell on him
planting his knee in his upper left
breast. Brandy bears the blame of
killing Tom Savers, but in my opinion
he died of injuries inflicted by John G.
Heenan. Heenan jumped off a train
and hurt himself, and some lay the
blame of premature death on the acci-
dent, but he died of consumption, pro
duced, in my opinion, by over-training
and by the punishment he got in fights
with Sayers and King John Morris
sey's death is laid on Brights disease,
but he stood beating enough to kill ten
men, and | believe that is what killed
him. Yankee Sullivan is said to have
been killed by vigilance committee,
but the truth is that he went crazy from
the injuries to his head he had received,
and committed suicide by opening an
artery. Patsy Riordan, one of the
grandest men physically that ever lived,
died at SO years of age, complete
ply sical and mental, wreck. Bod Riddle
died the same way, the flesh dropping
off his fingers. Joe Womble died in
Montreal insane asylum. And so they
go-all of them dying at what ought to
be the prime of life.

Dorsey.

Last week the United States court,
in Washington, issued bench war
rant for the arrest of ex-senator
Dorsey, This must be pleasing fact
for the republicans to contemplate. 1t
was only some fifteen months ago that
dinner was given in this city to this
same Dorsey, as testimonial of the
efficient manner in which he had
spread the greenbacks over Indiana for
the election of Garfield and Arthur.
On that occasion republicans of high
degree, stalwarts and half-breeds com.
bined, We'd with each other to do
honor to this king among ballot
bribers. To him they owed the sue
cess of their ticket and the renewed
opportunity of another four years
feast at the public crib. Why should
they not have assembled to do him
honor? Why should not Chester A.
Arthur and j. Whitelaw Reid have
raised the flowing bowl to his valor !
Garfield owed his election to his work
and that was enough for Reid. Arthui
was raised to the vice presidency by
4
his hand, and that was a sufficient
pretext. But behind all this there wa
another tale. Dorsey was commended
for the manner in which he had hand
led the republican sinews of war
Those sinews of war had been oh
tanned from Brady and his colleagues
who now, with Dorsey, are indicted a,
conspirators and public plunderers
| Under these circumstances it must be
a pleasant reflection for Chester A
Arthur to remember that he extolleC
Dorsey as the man who accomplished
his election, and that the money whicl
Dorsey spent came from the peopl
through the roguery of Brady an'
others of the gang. This is not thu
first republican who has been elected
president by stolen funds, but it is tn,
first time that the proof has bee
brought home to the doors of tn
White House.-Neo York Press.

Preservation Of Iron.

A novel way of preserving the sur
faces of iron has just been discovered.
The treatment is as follows: The iron
is subjected to the action of diluted hy-
drochloric acid, which dissolves the iron,
and leaves on the surface pellicle of
homogeneous graphite, which adheres
well to the surface of the iron. The
piece to be preserved is next treated,
in hydraulically closed receiver, by
hot OF cold water or, better, by steam,
in such manner as to completely dis
solve and remove the chloride of iron
formed. Finally the piece of iron is
left to dry in the receiver, from which
all liquid has been removed. A solu-
ton of caoutchouc, gutta percha, or
gum resin in essence of petroleum is
then injected On the essence being
evaporated, there remains solid en-
amel like coat on the surface of the
iron. Instead of previously eliminat-
ing the iron salt, it may be utilized in
forming kind of vitreous enamel. For
this purpose the iron is immersed, after
treatment with the acid, in bath of
silicate and borate of soda. A very
pure and brilliant silico-borate of iron
is formed, which closes up the pores of
the metal. AS to the disengaged chlorine,
it combines with free soda, forming
chloride of sodium, which remains dis
solved in the liquid. Thus the impor-
tsnt question of the preservation of iron
appears to have been brought another
step toward solution.

We are going to lose the Dog Star
That most brilliant of the heavenly
host which stud the Northern skies, is
deserving the earth, and nothing can
be done about it. The spectroscope,
whose microscopic eye can measure
distances too small for thought, has
discovered that Sirius is travelling off
in tangent at dogged pace of twenty
miles a second The influence of such
fact OH the solar system, and par
ticularly on this planet, cannot be
calculated. 1t is matter of history
that in ancient times the Dog Star was
supposed to be more powerful than he
is today. The very name of Dog
is associated with his baneful influence.
AS soon SIS he began to rise above the
main, distemper fell upon all canine
tlesh-they became rabid-''both mon
grel, puppy, whelp and hound, and
ours of low degree" 1t was the Dog
Stars misfortune, not his fault, that he
rose at such time and gained such a
time and gained such an opprobrious
reputation. Because the suns rays,
falling on rank vegetable refuse in the
lands of Greece, caused ''mephitic
miasmas' to arise, and men sickened
and dogs burst from all the restraint
of their better natures, Sirius, ranging
on high in unconscious glory, was
made to bear the blame, and though
innocent of the charge, is even now
looked upon askance by some unen.
lightened souls. Perhaps rumor OF
this melancholy slander and libel ha.
reached him; at any rate, the fact is
no less deplorable that in the course Of
time we shall miss his bright presence
from beside the Bear. Orion will
weep in vain for his faithful compan
ion, and the North Star, sitting with
sad forebodings aloof from her former
throne upon the pole, will curse tn,
day that drove so bright mate away
If the fact was not proved beyond ;
doubt, it is possible that we should no
discover any appreciable diminutinn ir
the Dog Stars brightness. But, know
ing the true state of things, by care
fully watching from night to night
the trained eye may perceive differ
ence. 1t is a solemn fact. Th
spectroscope is the Iago of each astro
nomical Othello. Perhaps it is tn
newest demonstration of the adage
that "When ignorance is bliss It's foil,
to be wise. Press.

SELECT STORY.
THE MYSTERIOUS WIDOW.

During the summer of 1911, the
British had laid claim to ali that por-
ton of the district of Maine lying east
of the Penobscot. Shortly before the
arrival of the English squadron, Com
modore Tucker had been sent around
to Penobscot Bay to protect the Amer
lean coasters and while the British
saileG up to Castiue, he was laying at
Thomaston.
1t was schooner that the Commo-
dore commanded, but it was heavy
one, well manned and armed; and she
carried the true Yankee grit upon
her deck, of which the enemy had re-
ceived from them rather too many
proofs. On the morning of the 2Sth
of August q messenger was sent down
from Belfast with the intelligence that
the British feared mm, also that Sir
John Sherbrook, of the British ship
had offered large amount for his cap
ture.
The schooner's keel was just cleared
from the mud, and one of the men had
been sent upon the wharf to cast off the
bow-line, when wagon drawn by one
horse, came rattling down to the spot.
The driver, rough looking country
man, got out upon the wharf, and then
assisted a middle-aged woman from the
vehicle. The ladys first inquiry was
for Commodore Tucker He was
pointed ont to her, and she stepped up

Where is the body?' asked Tucker

at the same time raising one corner OF
her shawl to wipe away the gathering
tears. 81 have a sum of money with

Stealing the treasures one by one,
