Disturbances at the North Pole.

Congress has practically decided to
send out an expedition to relieve Lieu
tenant Greedy and his party, and bring
them back to their own country. Old
sea captains say that in all probability
an expedition could now reach the
North Pole. There have already been
disturbances in that region of very
unusual character. lcebergs rarely
make their appearance in the North
Atlantic before June or July; in May
they are very rare; but this year they
made their appearance early in Febru-
ary, and vessels were destroyed by
them off the banks of Newfoundland
during that month. The recent heavy
fogs and rainy weather have been at
tributed to the presence of these ice-
bergs in mid-ocean at this unusual
season of the year. The earthquake
and volcanic eruption last summer at
Java may have had its analogue some
where in the frigid zone, breaking up
the huge fields of ice, driving the bergs
far out to sea. Volcanic eruptions and
hot springs OF water are as liable to
make their appearance in the frigid as
in the torrid zone. There is abundant
evidence of continuous volcanic action
as far north as Iceland. Should these
guesses of the sea captains prove true,
perhaps the road may be opened this
summer to some point nearer the Pole
than has ever been reached. 1t is a
curious fact that we know more about
the Polar region of the planet Mars
than we do about that of our own
earth. With very ordinary modern
telescope the amateur astronomer can
distinctly see the extent of the ice ocean
which surrounds the poles of Mars.
But we will never be able to explain
our poles fully until some motor is in
vented which will enable us to navi-
gate the air.-DemOrests.

Socialism In Massachusetts.

The Boston journal has received
from an unknown source a copy Of a
pamphlet which announces that the
joint committee on the judiciary will
give q hearing on bill, The object
Of which is to provide a home of its
own for every family in the State" 1t
is further stated that the bill is planned
to assist those who desire help by q
loan of s2.714.0O0 by the common
wealth. The bill contains forty-six
sections. reading of which discloses
the following scheme: The common
wealth is to issue bonds to corporations
guaranteed by the authorities of the
several cities and towns, at the rate of
IS. each, and $1,000 additional for
each 1000 inhabitants over 5000.
These corporations are to be formed by
actual citizens of the CITY or town in
which they are formed, who shall be-
come members thereof by paying Sc.
These corporations are organized for
the sole purpose of purchasing land
and building thereon cheap houses,
which are to be sold to members of the
corporation having no houses of their
own, to be paid for in forry-eignt regu-
lar installments, the proceeds of which
are to be devoted to the redemption of
the bonds loaned BY the cities; but no
interest is required of those who pur-
chase houses. The houses to be built
are of the cheapest character, and so
long as the cheapest houses can be dis
posed of those of higher cost will not
be built. In other words, the bill in
wolves scheme to make the common
wealth find the capital with which to
build houses to be sold to those who
have none of their own. The loss to
the State is at least the interest on the
funds that it loans to these corpora

1t Could be Done.

He called meeting of indignant citi-
zens, in town in Illinois, to petition
congress to prohibit the landing of any
more French goods in this country un-
til the American hog was recognized in
France, when citizen arose and said:
Gentlemen, what would we do with
out French winesp Let us pause . lit
tie"
This seemed to be wet blanket on
the meeting, and after long pause
another citizen got up and observed:
Gentlemen, the foundation of this
movement is patriotism. Parties are
supposed to be willing to suffer more
or less for the sake of principle. In
this case, however, there will be no
suffering. If the government will in
clude French wines in the prohibition,
I'll guarantee to put an addition on my
saw-mill and be turning out the genu-
inc brands inside. of ninety daysr'

Has the Earth a Ring?

There are all kinds of rings in the
business and political world, but the
greatest ring of all is the one which
some astronomers say is forming out
side the atmosphere of the earth. There
are people who gravely maintain that
the extraordinary sunsets and sunrises
which have been noticed for months
are due to the formation of ring or
rings around our earth, similar to those
revealed with the telescope encircling
the planet Saturn. No scientist of note
has dared, as yet, to seriously consider
this theory, but these sunsets are, nev-
ertheless, as great mystery as ever.
That they are due to moisture in the
atmosphere, or to dust hurled up into
the air at the volcanic eruptions last
summer in Java, is now discredited. A
lady has ventured the surmise that the
red sunsets are due to an effort on the
part of the sun to adjust itself to the
new standard time; but, of course, this
is joke. 1t is clear that there are
more things in heaven and earth, un-
explained, than are dreamed of, not
only by the philosophy but by the sci
ence of modern times. -Demorest's

Reporters as Detectives.

Of late years not few newspaper
reporters have made themselves ia
nous by the detection of crime. In
several cases mysteries which had de-
fed the trained detective have been un-
raveled, and the criminals brought to
justice by reporters. A short time ago
murderer was so arrested, and that
case was but one of many. 1t seems
that the qualities which make a man q
good reporter make him a natural
detective. He must have quickness of
perception and the ability quickly to
weigh and value information, and he
acquires ability in piecing together
stray scraps of information and form
ing of them statement or theory as
the case may demand.
A few days ago the story was told of
the arrest at Blyth of man charged
with offering counterfeit money for
sale. His arrest was brought about by
Mr.. Nichol, reporter for the Hamil-
ton Spectator. True, there was moth
ing very mysterious or very intricate in
the case. Still there is the fact that
man had for months been offering
counterfeit money for sale. The Off
cial constables and detectives had
failed to put stop to his practices, and
the young man named was successful.
Of course, we must not assume yet
that the man arrested is guilty. He is
as yet only committed for trial, and it
will not do to assume his guilt till he
has been proven guilty. Perhaps it
will not be safe to infer that the official
detectives may be dispensed with, and
the ferreting out of crime be left to
newspaper reporters. But the latter
will do good if they do no more harm
than put the regulars on their
mettle. .-Hamilton Spectator.
