TO THE NORTH POLE.

Proposed Expedition by DIR. Nansen, Nor
wegian Explorer.
COPENHAGEN, Jan. N.-The contemplated
expedition to thelnorth pole in 1892 by DR..
Nansen, who, it will be remembered, sue
feat Of daring which even among Arctic
enterprises is without parallel. The in
trepid Norwegian explorer, at a meeting Of
the Danish Geographical society, at which
the king Of Denmark was present, gave the
outline Of his contemplated journey, illus
trating his lecture by the help Of charts.
His expedition is, unlike the English and
American expeditions, along the west coast
of Greenland or that Of Captain Tegethoff,
along the east coast.
DR.. NaDsen dwelt at some length on the
unfortunate Jeanette expedition, because
he intends to follow the same route as that
attempted by that vessel. According to Dr.
Nansen, the Jeannette expedition ended in
disaster, not in consequence Of wrong
was not strong enough for the pressure and
current. He holds that the plan of going,
out against the current, but with the cur
rent, which the Jeanette first of ill the polar
expeditions pursued. is undoubtedly the
correct one.
LIZ. Nuuseu proposes SbarLlnG from CnflB-
tiana in the summer OF 1882, hoping to
penetrate Behring straits in the same sea-
son. just as the Jeannette did. Instead,
however, of directing his course north, like
the Jeanette, he intends following the
northern coast Of Siberia. forcing his way
through the New Siberia islands, past the
current moving east, until he meets "the
northern current" His whole plan is
based upon the intention of proving the
existence of northern current" which,
starting from the Siberian rivers, extends
north from spitzbergen, Franz Josephland,
along the east coast of Greenland, round
Cape Farewell and high up along the west
coast. He believes Himself to be in possess
sion of inpny proofs Of the existence ofsuch
current. In his lecture he cited the curious
fact that the effects left behind by the
Jeanette exposition were found exactly
three years after the disappearance of the
vessel on the west coast Of Greenland.
These effects must have come from north
of Franz Josephland, for south of that land
there runs feeble western current, and it
is we'll known that the Jeannette entered
a current before she was crushed by the
ice.

Hung All Innocent Alan,

CHARLESTON, April 15.-The hanging
of Sam White, white man, in Spartan.
burg, about twelve years ago for the mur.
der of Pete Hawkins, a colored man, will
always be remembered as a remarkable
execution. 1t happened just at q time
when the whites apd colored races were
decidedly at dagger's points, but that fact
had no influence or bearing on the case.
The idea of white man being hung for
the killing of a negro was rather repul-
sive to great many people who had suf.
fered under negro domination and mis-
rule, but the Law took its course and the
man was executed in the county Jail.
He suffered the penalty of the crime
with the commission of which he had
nothing to do and which was laid on his
head BY the man who did the killing.
Dick Bride, another white man who
was present at the murder, died recently
in Mcdowell County, North Carolina.
While on his death bed he made q full
confession of the crime In permitting
Sam White to be hung for the murder of
Pete Hawkins. Bride went on to say that
be killed Hawkins, but put the blame on
White, that the evidence taken was alto
gether against White and that he had
permitted him to be hanged for the muir.

Thousands of curious and ingenious
theories have been advanced to account
for the fact that the sun, although he has
whirled his burning disc across the heav-
ems for untold ages, continues to burn
without being consumed or his bulk being
lessened in the least. Some learned men
affect to believe that the great orb is q
monstrous ball Of gas, but even great
ball of gas would be consumed to it's ut.

years. Others pretend to believe that its
fires are kept up by the remains of wreck.
ed worlds which are constantly falling in
to its depths, but even this seems far from
probable, not to say purely absurd con.
clusion. In giving his opinion on the
last opinion, one of the most eminent
astronomers of the day has figured that
mountain range consisting Of 176 cubic
miles falling into the sun would only be
sufficient to maintain the present heat for
a single second a mass equal to that of
our earth would engender only enough Of
heat to last SO years. If these conclusions
are correct and ne have no means of
proving them false, we'll may We ask the
question: Of what wonderful, indestruc.
tible substance is the sun composed.
