FEARS AROUSED.
Apprehension Of the Fate Of the 2eary Arctic

T. EXpedltlon,
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The Herald says
Is the Peary Arctic expedition in danger OF
meeting the unhappy fate of the Greedy
party? North Greenland people ac-
quainted with Arctic travel have received
information that gives them an opportunity
of weighing the Peary expedition In the
balance, and there is a strong feeling
among them that there may be sad ad-
dition to the already too crowded volume
of polar suffering. From the start the ex-
pedition, ii is alleged, was based on mis-
conception and misinformation. The
experience Of the Kite convinced all on
board that Peary, somehow or other,
had got the thing the wrong end foremost,
and that after all his troubles are to be the
same as those of all other northern explor-
ers. and he will find that getting back is the

Arrangement and COIors.
In Lafcadio Hearn's paper in the
Atlantic. The Chief City of the
Province of the Gods" he describes
Japanese flower show. He writes:
Often in the streets at night, espe-
cially on the nights Of sacred festivals
(niatsuri). ones attention will be at
trncted to some small booth by the
spectacle of an admiring and perfectly
silent crowd pressing before it. AS
soon as one can get o chance TO look
one finds there is nothing to look at
but few vases containing sprays
OF Towers. or. perhaps some
light gracious branches freshly cut
from a blossoming tree. 1t is simply
a little flower show, or, more correct
~, free exhibition Of master skill in
the arrangement OF flowers. For the
Japanese do not brutally chop Off
flower heads to work them up in.o
meaningless masses OF color. as we
barbarians do--they love nature too
we'll for that; they know how much
the natural charm oi the flower
depends upon its setting and mount
ing. its relation to leaf and stem, aud
they select single graceful
branch or spray just as nature made
it. At first you will not US western
stranger comprehend such an exhibit
ton at all; you are yet a savage in
such matters compared with the COM
monest coolies about you. But even
while you are still wondering at popu-
lar interest in this simple little show
the charm of it will begin to grow
upon you, will become revelation to
you; and despite your occidental idea
Of self-superiority you will feel hum
bled by the discovery that all flower
displays you have ever seen abroad
were only monstrosities in comparison
with the exquisite natural beauty OF
those few simple sprays. You will
also observe how much the white or
pale blue screen behind the flowers
enhances the effect by lamp or lantern
light. For the screen has been ar
ranged with the special purpose OF
showing the exquisiteness of plant
shadows, and the sharp silhouettes of
sprays and blossoms cast thereon are
beautiful beyond the imagining OF any
western decorative artist.
