Creeiy on Nansen's Polar Expedition.
II strikes me as almost incredible
that the plan advanced by DR.. Nansen
should receive encouragement or sup
port. II seems TO me to be based on
fallacious ideas as TO physical condi-
tions within the polar regions, and to
foreshadow, II attempted, barren re-
suits. apart from suffering and death
among its members. DIR. Nansen, so
far as know. has had no arctic serv-
ice. His crossing of Greenland, how
ever difficult, is no more polar work
than the scaling of Mount St. Elias. 1t
is doubtful ifany photographer would
treat seriously his theory of polar cur
rents, or If any arctic traveller would
indorse the whole scheme.
There are perhaps a dozen men whose
arctic service has been such that the
positive support OF this plan by even a
respectable minorii would entitle it to
consideration and confidence. | have
no hesitation in asserting that no two
OF these believe in the possibility Of
Nansens first proposition-to build a
vessel capable Of living or navigating in
a heavy arctic pack, into which it is
proposed to put his ship.
The second proposition is even more
hazardous, involving, as it does, a drift
of more than 1000 miles in a straight
line through an unknown region, dur.
ing which the party in its voyage CAST
ing two or more years, we are told
would take only boats along, encamp
on an ice foe, and live there while
tlonting across" Arctic exploration Is
sufficiently credited with rashness and
danger in it's legitimate and sanctioned
methods. without bearing the burden
of Dr. Nansens illogical scheme of self
destruction. General Greedy in Forum.

One Of the most amusing incidents
relative 70 sleek advertising was a trick
on the Chicago newspapers several
years ago. One Of the partners Of a
firm went into court and filed a bin for
Injunction 10 restrain the other partner
from sacrificing the goods in their store
at figures Car below first cost
The plaintiff set forth in detail that
his partner had with some insane de-
sire marked all the goods in the store
down below cost. Then he went into
details and showed how different arti-
Giles were being sacrificed, notwith-
standing his protest, and asked the
court 10 issue an injunction and restrain
the fractions partner. IL was a strange
fight, and the newspapers took it up
and devoted columns 70 the novel case.
The result was that people on the
lookout for bargains iocked to the
store and purchased goods. Day after
day the hearing for an Injunction was
delayed. and finally, when the free ad-
had been worked to its end, the suit
was dismissed without prosecution, the
whole cost TO the firm for thousands of
dollars worth Of advertising being
about twenty-five dollars. London

Anything that will reduce the rattle
and vibration Of the ordinary railway
car is a boon to the travelling man A
new appliance which is said to possess
this qualification in a marked degree Is
the cushion car wheel. which has the
additional advantages of being simple,
safe, economical and noiseless. The
wheel is composed Of two parts, the
center and the tire. while between the
two is a thick rubber band which acts
as a cushion to absorb all the vibra-
tons.
The tire Is so made that il may be re-
moved without taking the wheel from
the axle. The rubber is so placed be-
