 Harry W. French's lecture for the benefit of

 before immense audiences in various cities
 and it has been warmly praised by both press
 and people. MT. French's reputation as a lecturer where he has appeared is not second even to that of Mir. Stoddsrd. The Brook lyn Eagle says of this lecture :
 The views included life scenes in Scandina via, the journey from Bergen to Trondhjem,
 mountains and fjords, up the coast of Nor
 way, westward through the ice fields, the beautiful polar sea, landmarks and incidents
 of daily life in the Arctic, homes, fishing grounds and ruins, summer and win | ter in Greenland, along the coast | to Julianshaab. through ice floats and floating mountains, over the Greenland Sea and along the coast of Labra-
 dor The views and descriptions of the i'm, mense icebergs are especially interestinel The powerful stereopticon and the noye process introduced vividly displayed the ef- forts of sunlight and moonlight on the gi- gantic ice mountains, and the audiences tes- tified to the great pleasure experienced by eye and ear by frequent applause. Toward the close of the lecture, companion views of
 polar and tropical life scenes were intro 1 dueed, showing the wonderful contrast be- tween the inhabitants of the respective re gions. Mir. French's first appearance before Brooklyn audience was an unqualified suc- cess.
