Exploring Greenland.

An Arctic expedition this summer has
been decided upon in Sweden. 1t has
been promoted by thewell-known Swed-
ish M@cenas, DIR. Oscar Dickson, and
will be in command of Baron Norden-
skiold, whose intention it is on this oc.
casion to explore the east and northeast
coast of Greenland. 1t was originally
his intention to have proceeded this
summer into the Siberian seas, but see.
ing the delay caused to the Danish Pc.
lar Expedition, which will now be there
during the summer, this idea was aban.
doned and Greenland decided on instead
Baron Nordenskiold, having formerly
visited the country, is of the opinion
that some kind of "break" or oasis is to
be found in the interior of Greenland.
He proposes to proceed along the east
coast of Greenland, as far as the ice will
allow, and then to penetrate into the
interior, some 800 miles across the in
land ice. The country inland is nearly
the whole year covered by ice and snow,
which, during the summer months. rem
der it almost entirely one bog. The
enormous stretch of inland ice has also
always been barrier to exploration.
Another object in view by Baron Nor
denskiold is to attempt to find traces OF
the Morse colonies, which existed in
Greenland from about the year 1000 un
til the end of the fourteenth century
The ultimate fate of the Morse settlers
in Greenland is shrouded in mystery, as
there is no authentic record of their ex.
istence after the end of the fourteenth
century. There has also in later days
been great diversity of opinion where
to seek for the settlements; thus the
Danish explorer Graah, who in the
years 1S2S-3l was looking for remains
of the same, sought them west of Cape
Farewell, but without success. Baron
Nordenskiold is, however, of the opin
ion that the Osterbygd and the Morse
settlements were situated east of the
Cape, and it is there that he intends to
search for them. Interesting and i'm
portant results to science would accrue
from the discovery of these dead cities
on the shores of the Arctic ocean. Bar
on Nordenskiold will start on his jour
ney early in May next, probably in one
of the vessels of the Swedish Navy.

Fruit Growing in the Northwest.

The subject of fruit-growing in the
great northwest is at present attracting
good deal of attention. The small
classes of fruits, as is well known,
thrive excellently, but not very good
results have been reached in the at
tempts to grow apples and the larger
varieties. The failure in apples is ex-
planned in the following manner. There
is top soil averaging about two feet in
depth of rich black loam Immediately
beneath this there is substratum of
yellow clay, which contains no nutritive
qualities. Into this clay the roots of
apple and other large trees penetrate,
and the trees die from inability to draw
the necessary nourishment from it. In
the smaller kinds of fruit the roots of
the trees or bushes spread and never
touch this clay, SO that, sustained in the
rich black soil, they thrive magnificent
ly. 1t has, therefore, come to be be-
lieved that in order to successfully grow
apples the soil or orchards will require
to undergo an artificial preparation.
This would be accomplished by digging
out the clay in proposed orchards and
filling up with loan TO the necessary
depth. OF course, under any circum-
stances, trees of a hardy nature would
require to be introduced, but with these
requisites, 1t is believed that thorough
success in apple-growing may be attain
ed. Another fruit tree that is being in
troduced is the mulberry. A Winnipeg
paper says regarding it: This tree,
which is valuable for fruit and timber
as well as being ornamental, was
brought to the country from Russia by
the Mennonites. tits very rapid grow
ing tree, and attains a large size, even
reaching the height of so feet, and is
over 3 feet in diameter, and perfectly
hardy. The timber is hard and dura-
BILE, and is used in the manufacture of
cabinet ware, and proves as lasting for
fence posts as catalpa or red cedar II
commences to bear fruit when two years
old, and produces prolifcally. Ninety
five per cent. of the berries are Jet black,
and the balance are reddish-white. They
have an aromatic or sub-acid taste, and
are used for dessert as blackberries or
raspberries are used. The Mennonites
use the tree rs an ornamental hedge
tree, and it stands pruning and shearing
remarkably well. In Minnesota it prov
ed very successful, and it is believed to
be specially adapted TO this country"

EmersOn's Fame.

century.
When Longfellow the poet of grace
full art and of sympathy as tender as his
voice, took his departure, there went up
cry as from sense of fireside loss.
People everywhere dwelt upon the story
of his life and recalled his folk songs
Emerson glided away almost upper
ccived under the shadow of the popular
bereavement. But soon, and still null
tiplying from the highest sources, trib-
utes to his genius began to appear
searching, studying, expounding him
as when grand nature, an originating
force, has ceased to labor for us. This
is the best of fame; to impress the select
ed minds, which redistribute the effect
in steadfast circles of extension. More
than his associates, Emerson achieved
this fame. He had the great mans in
tellect, which, according to Lander,
''puts in motion the intellect of others.
He was, besides, so rare parsonage,
that one who seeks TO examine his writ
ings apart from the facts and conduct
of his life, needs must wander off in con-
temptation of the man himself.

tickets over the Nickel-plate either way,
in consequence OF its cutting under regular
rates. The passenger business done by TINS
road is very small, and it has almost nothing at
all in the way of through business. 1t is ais
agreed to withdraw all commissions on east
bound traffic from Dayton, o., which had the
effect of reducing existing rates. At Cincinnati,
where 1t was alleged there had been cutting of
passenger rates. the explanation offered by the
representatives of the roads was ac-
cepted, and 1t was found the charges
without foundation. There was con
siderable discussion over charges of irregularity
finally laid over until the following day.
Complaints were made by several lines that
round trip tickets had been sold by the Chicago
q Alton road to points west of Chicago and ST.
Louis at reduced rates. This was proven, and 1t
was decided to require the Chicago 81 Alton to
charge full legal rates both ways in future
and to notify all agents west of Chicago
and St. Louis not to issue any round
trip tickets in that territory, except
by special arrangement with the JOINT executive
committee of the trunk lines, which are prepared
to make as low rates in their regular office TO
New York and Boston can be obtained in any
outside offices, and they are prepared to meet
any reduction in cut rates in their own offices.
Said prominent member of the committee,
after the meeting had adjourned "Watch will
be kept on outside offices, and whenever we find
tickets at reduced rates Issued, the roads will he
notified what rate to charge. There is not the
slightest probability the roads will be willing to
throw up the sponge just yet, Notwithstanding
the reports and rumors daily circulated through
out the West"
The committee meets tomorrow, and will re-
sumo the bearing of complaints.

ARoUsING OPPOSITION.

Congress Asked to Condemn the Wabash as
NavigabIe Stream North of Terre Haute.
lis understood that the Bee-line people will
this session urge Congress to abolish the draw
In their bridge crossing the Wabash at Terre
Haute, which is something of a nuisance, al
though 1t has not been opened a half dozen times
in that number of years. 1t will be remembered
that some eight years ago government en- GIN
eer, under instruction from Congress, made
survey of the Wabash river from the mouth to
the headwaters, and from thence to Lake Erie,
to ascertain the practicabiiity of constructing q
canal to run the waters from that lake into The
Wabash river, making the latter q navigable
stream at all seasons of the year. The engineer
flushed his survey, made estimates of the
cost of the work and reported fayOrably on the
feasibility of the plan. The matter has since
been agitated in the northern part of the State,
but has met with opposition from the railroad
corporations The Terre Haute News says it is
the intention of the Decline people, should
bash as a navigable stream north of Terre
by cutting off part of the embankment at the
west end of the bridge and add several spans to
the present incompleted iron bridge, making it
without q draw. The Lafayette Courier objects
to this proposed condemnation of the river for
naviga0le purposes, and charges that the move
ment of the Decline IS principally TO interfere
with the plan of Improvement of the river as
recommended py the government engineer and
other experts.
