En- f0rsvunnen Gr0r lands

Genom understanding af dansken E. Han
sen-Blangstrup har uppmarksamheten /
dagarne ater blifvit fast pa cit franskt far
tyg ia Lilloise", som tillika med sin be-
sattning FOR 55 Or sedan f5rsvann pa en- re-
sa till Gr6nland Hr Hansen-B -Blangstrups
unders5kningar r5rande denna tilldragelse
hafva blifvit ofentliggjorda ! det nyss ut
komna haftet at Bulletin de Ia Society .des
Etudes Cooniales ct maritimes Paris, och
deras utgangspunkt aro de resultat, som
vunnits genom en- AMMAN dansks, kapten
Holm, upptacktsresor Gr6nland 1SS3-S5.
Det namda fartyget ia Lilloise", upp-
kalladt efter staden Lille, var EFT 6rlogs-
fartyg, som juli 1888 afgick fran Dnnker-
que under befal af l6jtnant de Blosseville,
med uppgift att begifva sig till Island och
bevaka de franska fiskarenas intressen der
och sedan anst&lla unders5kningar vid
Gr6nland och kartlagga dess kuster. Far
tyget fullgjorde den f6rsta delen at slit
y5rf; det begaf sig derefter till Gr6nland
och efter att hafva f6retagit unders6knin-
gar pa en- mindre stracka, vande det ater
till Island med det resultat man vunnit.
Sedan seglade Diet tillbaka till Gr6nland
och fran den stunden har man icke hort
n8g0t af detsamma eller dess besattning.
Dess f1rsvinnande vackte naturligtvis
stort uppseende Eft franskt 6rlOgsfartyg
utskickades f1Ijande ar for att s5ka reda
pa Fla Lilloise", och do delta &tervande
sstan resultat, utskickades saval 1885 som
1885 anyo ett franskt 6rlogsfartyg, men ic-
he heller dessa expediti0ner bragte den
minsta upplysning ON de f6rsvunne. Der
pa uppgaf man ALT vidare s0kande.
Anledningen till att fragan ON denna ex-
pcditle ns ode nu ater blifvit upptagen Of
hr Hansen Blangstrup Or nagra ira ut
skurna kartor, som kapten Holm patraffa-
de hos eskimaerna under sin bekanta expe-
dition 1885 och som med stOr nog-
grannhet atcrgifva kustens och de kring-
liggande barnes formation. Kapten Holm
kom da att tanka pa att modellen till dessa
kartor kunde hafva blifyit skuren af euro
peer, hvars arbete sedan blifvit imiteradt
az eskim&erna, och framf6rallt taste sig
hans tanke pa LA Lilloise" och dess be-
szttning. Men det han ansett, att en- for
bindelse har knappast wore, sannolik, har
han dock samtidigt uttalat sig for m5jlig-
heten af att ALA handelser nagon del at
delta fartygs besattning kunde hafva npp-
matt Gr0nland och der omk0minit, antingen
nu delta berott pa bffst pa help fran de
inf6ddes sida eller fran att dessa rent at
slagit ihjel framlingarne. TIL st6d f6r EFT
sadant antagande anf6r kapten Holm den
synbara f6rlagcnhet och skygghet, som be
maktigade sig inf5dingarne, mar Diet blei
tai ON. hurnvida de under en- tidigare pc.
Rod haft bes5k af europeer. Hartill kon

man talade till dem ON, att de | en- framtid

de f0r, att desse kunde hafva FOR afsigt att

underforna tider blifvit begangna pa euro

The Value of Wood Ashes.

Among the most common and most
valuable of special msnures | place wood
ashes. The amount of ash and its rela,
tive composition vary with the kind and
part of vegetable burned, bat we may
safely take the ash of the body of a
beach tree as representing the average
IMPOSITION of wood ashes. One bushel
of ashes represents about 212 tons of dry
hollywood. Wood ashes contain all the
required elements of plant nutrition ex-
oept nitrogen. One hundred pounds of
wood ashes contain 10 pounds OF potash,
worth 56 cents; SO pounds soda, worth
cents; 81 pounds OF lime and magnesia,
worth s cents; and 5 Il pounds phosphor-
ic acid, worth 10 cents. If we have to
buy in market, IN the cheapest form the
manuriel materials, contained in 100
pounds of ashes the cost would be &c
cents. Gan you afford to throw away
such valuable material, or sell them for
cents q bushel to the soap boiler? No
argument is needed; here is the value
and here is the selling price. Draw your
own conclusion. Even when the ashes
have been leached to the last degree, till
every soluble thing has been washed
away, they still have value, for the phos-
phate aud carbonate of lime and magne-
STA remain, aud they are worth 81 cents
100 pounds or $3.50 ton.

More Ornamental Than Useful.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

AS matter of fact, our governme nt
would go on just the same, and our foreign
relations would probably be quite as well
managed, if we had no Minister at any
European court. Oar diplomatic service
is expensive and more ornamental than
useful. The improvement in means of
communication has practically removed
the necessity of % aihtaining high-salaried
representatives in other countries. In
all cases of i'm portance, business is tran
sacted directly between the Secretary of
State and the corresponding officer of q
foreign government. The Minister has
only social duties to perform, for the most
part, and it is not essential that we spend
millions of dollars annually for the mere
purpose of entering ap appearance at
royal balls and receptions. We have
certain commercial interests in other
countries which require more or less at
tentlon; and We can well afford to keep
competent agents employed at all the
leading business centers to attend to such
matters. But the idea of supporting a
set of costly Ministers Oh, purely political
grounds, has little justification. They do
not confer eny definite advantage upon
the country; and it has happend more
than once that they have exposed US to
redlcule end reproach.

A Great Argument Against Corsets.
Scribner's Magazine


In order to ascertain the influence of
thIht clothing upon the action of the
geart during exercise, dozen young We
men consented last sammer to run SAC
yards In their loose gymnasium garments
and then to run the same distance with
oorsets on. The running time was two
minutes and thirty seconds for each per
son at each trial, and in order that there
should be no cardiac excitement or de-
preston following the first test, the sec
ond trial was made the following day. Be-
fore beginning the running, the average
heart impulse was "a beats to the minute;
after running the the above named dis
lance the heart i'm pulse was 152 heats to
the minute; the average natural waist
g1rth being 25 inches. The next day co.
sets were worn during the exercise, and
the average girth of waist was reduced to
"a inches. The same distance was run
In the same time by all, and Immediately
afterward the average heart impulse was
found to be 1913 beats per minute When
l state that L should feel my self justified
In advancing an athlete not to enter a
running or rowing race whose heart i'm
pulse was l6O beats per minute after a
little exercise, even though there were
not the slightest evidence of disease. one
can form some idea of the wear and tear
ON this important organ, and physiologi-
cal loss entailed upon the system in wo-
men who have their lives under such p
disadvantage as the tight corset i'm
poses.

Extending Cultivated Areas.

From the results obtained of late years
in the semi arid regions of the United
States, east and west of the Rocky Noun
tsins, it may be taken as fair presum D.
tion that the time is not far distant when
the so-called desert regions OF the earth
will dwindle down to q comparatively
small area. So far as the inter continent
al region of the United States is CON
cerned, it has been shown that cultivation
suited TO the exigencies of the climate
produces good scrops, and where irriga-
tion is practiced, most bountiful ones.
In modern agriculture it is shown that
with increasing population the necessi-
ties of a case bring thought that produces
the means of relief. thus, in the arid
portions of Kansas, listing has brought
good crops of Indian corn cultivation
successfully covering the roots deeper
and deeper, enabling them to use all the
moisture in the soil. Thus, intelligent
minds may bring into filth other large
semi arid areas in Europe, Asia and Afri-
ca, when advancing civilization and edu-
cation may make it necessary to bring
these tracts of land into subsection.
