The disastrous failure of the recent Arctic relief
expedition and the critical position in which Lieu
tenant Greedy and his companions are now placed
have called forth impatient circumstances from
many journals against Polar exploration. 1t must

voyages Of discovery in the direction Of the Pole
were so meagre that Lieutenant Weyprecht sug

physical facts and studying the natural science OF
the Arctic basin by means of a circle OF observing
stations. One of the United States Government de-

E1-Speaker Chapn Is quoted as saying that if
Thurman Of Ohio had failed to bend to the soft
money storm which swept the West few years
ago. and had stood firm to hi. convictions he would
have been President of the United States before
this" For the benefit of the almanac makers and
other gatherers of political statistics, Mr.. Chapln
should have mentioned the year when Mr.. Thurman
would have been elected Was 1t in 1907 Could
he have pollcd more votes than Hancock the

his life last year while bathing IN dangerous

good swimmer. The mountains, however, offer tho
great prizes for intrepidity and powers OF endur
