could only climb the pole. But the spirit Of
adventure in the average American is modified
BY his desire TO accomplish his explorations
quickly and comfortably. He has the ancient
Athenian longing for ''some new thing" but
he does not yearn particularly for the
halo of scientific martyrdom. He would
prefer to do Africa with Jules Verne in a de-
h6htfui tour of Five Weeks in a Balloon"
rather than fight and starve with Stanley. In
stead OF cutting through Arctic ice with
polar explorers, fortified against freezing and
sustained for hard labor by . regular diet Of
plain blubber, varied by occasional tallow
candle or ragOut OF old shoes. he prefert to
blow the Gulf stream to the North Cape Of
.7rway and to DO his polar exploration in all
she comforts Of a modern tourist steamer.
These facts and tendencies being remem-
bered il is easy to understand how it happened
that Americans constituted the bulk of the pas
sengers on the Neptun, which steamed on July
~ from Bergen. Norway, for the North Cape.
With the daring band of fellow polar
explorers collected on this steamer penetrated
Tar Into the Arctic Zone-without sacrificing in
tne least the convenlences OF civilized life.

Our starting point was several degrees farther
north than Sitka in Alaska, north Of Labrador,
IL line with the southernmost point of Green
land, and within a week we travelled northeast
along the Norway coast for q thousand miles,
past the Arctic circle, far past Iceland past the
lantudes OF large majority of the inter-
national circumpolar stations, past the
farthest northern points reached by
some Of the early explorers, and in

Foxes Garry or a Trap.

Mark Fletcher OF Root Hollow, Pa, has
lost more than forty fowls since Septem-
ber He laid their disappearance to foxes,
and one day recently he fixed up q little
surprise for the thieves. He dumped a
lot of fine shavings In a hollow at the
back OF his farm, concealed two steel
traps in the mass, and sprinkled lard
scraps over the top. Then he laid half
a dozen horseshoes here and there on the
shavngs, his idea being that the foxes
would play with the horseshoes after they
had gobbled the scraps, and fool around
until nabbed by the hidden traps.
When Mr.. Fletcher visited his fox sur
prise on the following morning the horse
shoes and scraps were gone, but the traps
were just as he had left them. He passed
over the shavings, thinking that the
horseshoes had been covered up by the
foxes. but he didn't find them. and he con-
cluded that one Of his nelghbors had car
ried them away. On his way home Mr..
Fletcher spied pair OF foxes capering
back and forth near the edge of the
woods. They skedaddled at his approach.
and when he reached the spot he found
the six horseshoes lying among the
stumps. fifteen rods from the shavings.
Mr.. Fletcher took the foxs' playthings
to the house. and at night he placed some
chicken livers on the shavings directly
over the traps. In the morning the bait
was gone. One OF the traps was sprung.
and in the jaws were the toes OF n fox.
Mr.. Fletcher said he was SO angry that
he set the shavings on fire and took the
traps away.

A skunk Clear. Out a Jail.

Recently, while the short-term prison.

we're going through their morning alb
lutlons, Sheriff Borthwick, VINO was seated
in the jail Office, was startled by the
shouts and cries OF the prisoners. Think
ing fight was In progress, he hurried To
the Jail to part the combatants, but as
soon as he flung open the iron door be saw
a skunk crouching In corner. where IL
had been driven by the prisoners. The
skunk was as anxious to get out as were
the prisoners 10 get him out. The Sheriff
called his son Duke, who, accompanied by
Curley, n red spaniel, responded ut once.
The men were formed Ia line and marched
into tho grand jury room, while Sheriff
Borthwick stood guard over them. Duke,
as soon as the prisoners were removed,
introduced Curley. who has made for him
self reputation as q cat killer. Curley
eyed the intruder for a second. and then
with a bark tackled IL. He missed II,
however, and the skunk, using its only
weapon OF defence. made bee line for the
open door. with Curley in hot pursuit.
Through the corridors and out into Court
street they raced. On the sidewalk Curley
caught the skunk and shook IL to death,
but Curlcy is ruined dog for some time
TO come. He is tied TO horse post while
the chilly winds fan his red coat. The
cells were fumigated and chloride OF lime
was literally sprinkled throughout before
the prisoners were returned.
