The expedition which Lieut.. RYDER OF the
Danish Navy is about to lead to Greenland has
in view tho interesting purpose OF exploring
tie unknown east coast between &C. and TO-
north latitude. Here are about 275 miles Of
coast line that have never been visited. When
we remember that Just south Of 1t Capt HOLM
several years ago found u large settlement OF
east coast natives differing In important To-
spects In physioRnomy, language. habits and
dress from their west coast cousins. 1t will be
conceded that interesting discoveries may re-
ward the RYDER expedition. Even IL they do
not find more people land HoLM's natives had
never heard OF human beings north OF thoml. 1t
is we'll worth while to ascertain the outline OF
this part OF Greenland. which happens TO be
that part Of the continental island lying near
est to Iceland.
Lieut.. RYDER will leave Denmark with eight
comrades as soon as the ice on the east coast
is likely to be in tho most favorable condition
for his reaching tho mainland He will take
supplies for two years and a steamer will not

1892. Tho indentations OF the east coast. iudg-
ing from the discoveries OF Holm and KOLDE-
wEN, increase in size toward the north. and
RYDER will probably find II an arduous task
accurately 10 map the intricacies Of tho coast
line No one has had more experience than
he In this sort OF exploration. for no has long
been engaged in the admirable surveys that
Denmark has carried out on the west coast.

A jury was obtained yesterday forenoon
In the United States Circuit Court to try Peter
J. Claassen for embezzling the assets OF the
Sixth National Bank, and in the afternoon As
sstant District Attorney Rose opened the case
for the United States. He described the pur-
chase by Claassen from President Leland of q
controlling interest in the stock Of the bank.
A few hours after getting control Claassen had
and dog stocks as collateral. A little later he
had actually paid for the bank shares with the
proceeds of a sale OF the securities ~ the banks
private vault. Mr. Rose said that although the
Sixth National had surplus of nearly half a
million and capital stock OF 100000. yet In
deficit OF $4,000 existed. This record. he
thought. was q great way ahead OF anything
that Jimmy Hope. the bank burglar, had ever
accomplished.
The case will go on this morning.

and that there is no element OF 1t in the present

{. p. Huntington's Frugal Lunch,

A large elderly, and fine looking
man with black silk cap on his head
entered the restaurant or the top floor
of the Mills building few days ago,
and seating himself in quiet corner
ordered a plate of cold chicken, some
bread and butter, and glass of milk.
This was his midday luncheon, and he
seemed to enjoy it. AT another table,
few feet away, sat young man with
a scrupulous regard for the latest
fashions. He was enjoying much
more elaborate meal than his elderly
neighbor. Little Neck CLANS spring
lamb with green peas, lobster salad
pint of champagne, and choice Per-
iecto were necessary to his personal
comfort, aud he disposed CT them all
with nonchalance which bespoke
familiarity with that style of living.
And there was certainly nothing out OF
the way in his manner of indulging his
appetite. He paid for what he got with
money honestly earned. He holds a
cerkship in c. p. Huntington's en-
P.oy, and Mr.. Huntington is known to
pay good salaries to good men. The
elderly man who ate the cold chicken
any drank the glass of milk was Coils

From the way sight-feed lubricators

!: prejudice on the part of some
AGAINST sight feed. When you see
acme of them with a half-dozen pipes
rnnning all ways over the boiler head,
cum and dirt over all, few Ct the

from both feeds going into one cylin-

sight feeds. where one cup feeds both
cylinders through independent pipes.
do it just the same, and | have heard
of them feeding into the boiler through
the steam supply pipe. Some of them
are constructed so that when the pipe
gets stopped up anywhere between the
class and the steam chest, the oil will
quit heding on that side. There is,
however, remedy for most of these
troubles at the disposition of the man
on the engine. Keep your oil clean,
strain it, if necessary. Run little
swab wet with glycerine through the
sight-feed and oil-glasses, and it will
keep the oil from sticking in the glass.
If you use a patent mixed valve oil that
gums up blow it out clean once in a
while. Some use strong solution of
concentrated I've and leave it over
night. That cleans out the cup and
starts some of the joints leaking if they
are not made good and eats up the
rubber gaskets.
One advantage of the sight-feed is that
the oil can be fed in steady up hill and
down, whether shut or working steam,
in slow drops or almost stream.
Thee is another advantage which is
lost sight of by some. The oil is atom
lied or delivered on the valve in a
spray instead of in bulk. teaspoonful
or cupful at time. One thing |
would like to have explained, why ordi-
nary blackcoil, and the poorest kind of
car oil at that fed through lubricator,
does just as we'll in a cylinder and on
valve seat rs the expensive patent valve
oil. Loc0notiUe Engineers Journal.
