AN USUAL ATTRACTION.

1t is quite true that the Chicago exposi-
ton has GU grown ali estimates, ard it
is equally true that it is outgrowing all
expectations in the number, variety and
attraetiyeness of the displays which it
will be able to offer to the favored visit
ors.
The most recent addition to its list Of
contributors is enc who gives promise
of adding more to the drawing power of
the exposition and tonseq uent receipts
from admission than any other con-
trihutor who could I've secNred.
This is ttle elea,7head and fa1siehted
Pope Leo XII, No information is given
as to the character of exhibit which he
will prepare, but such information is
not needed to justify the assertion that
there are are great many citizens of the
United States who will be very glad tc
travel to Chicago with their wives and
children especially to see it.

THE NORTH MAGNETIC POLE.

THE NORTH MAGNETIC POLE.
The whole scientific world will be inter
ested in the movement, which may be
said to be now fairly under way In this
country, to send an expedition north fol-
the purpose Of fixing the present position
Of tie north magnetic pole. The practical
importance of the proposed inquiry has
long been recognized, and some of our
leading scientific men have been agitating
the matter with Esuch encouraging results
that a part of the money required,
estimated at s25, 900, has already pledged.
1t is expected that the public meeting OF
the Americal Geographical society recently
held, will help to give the project the
further impetus it needs to insure the TT
ting out of the expedition. The neigh
borhood of King William Land, Of the
northern coast Of the continent, where the
investigators would carry on their work,
can be reached with comparative ease,
and the expedition would not in
yolye the perils which too frequently be-
set Arctic enterprises To achieve the
most satisfactory results it might be nee
esgary to continue the effort through two
reasons. AS thorough study as possible
should be made OF all the magnetic
phenomena observable in the neighbor-
hood of the magnetic pole.
Such an expedition is likely TO DE of
much advantage to navigators and survey
ors, and also to promote the progress OF
our knowledge Of the complex and only
partly understood subject OF Terrestrial
magnetism. The great ambition OF
specialists to-day in this branch of physics
is to discover the law that governs the
constantly occurring changes in magnetic
declination, inclination, and intensity,
SO that, if possible, these variations may
be calcuI ated for future periods as
eclipses are; and we suppose
that no more promising inquiry
can now be un iertaken than the proposed
enterprise by which it is intended to de-
termine anew tie position of the north
magnetic pole and make a careful study of
all the magnetic phenomena observable
there. 1t would be more satisfactory still
if syE cnronous observations could be taken
at stations along the northern coasts of
North America and Asia. The instru-
ments for observing magnetic phenomena
have increased in number and greatly i'm
proved in quality since Sir John Ross
determined the position OF the north mag
netic pole fifty nine years ago. The pro
posed expedition will undertake a work of
practical utility and o: great scientific
interest, and no other project for investig-
atoms in the arctic regions is SO worthy Of
public encouragement.

this section and cut out all which are
shown by their brands to belong to
members of the ass Dciation if shipped

THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT

THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT
Tbs crop report issued last week by the
department Of as riculture, shows that the
actual area of winter wheat this year is
very nearly as large as 1891, while the
acreage of spring wheat il little larger
than that of last year. So far, this is en-
couraging. The general condition of
winter wheat is reported to have slightly
advanced, the percentage being Sc 5, and
the condition of sprins wheat 81 8. In
the consolidated report the acreage OF
cotton is about e3.5 per cent of lastEear' s
area and the average condition of cotton
is IS 9, the lowest average, with one ex-
ception, since le47. Judging from these
figures the general crop outlook is not at
all fattering. 1t seems evident that the
enormous cereal harvests of 1891 will no,
be eaualled this year. Still, it is not
improbable that few weeks make con-
siderable difference in the general CROP
prosI e,ts.

Work of kescuing Entombed Miners at

MCALL1sTER, I. T., Jan. ALL the
bodies have been taken out of the mines
and the list now stands sixty dead
and III wounded, five Of whom will
surely die during the night and several
men cannot live twenty-four hours.
It was sad sight to see the funeral
professions which conveyed the unfor-
tunate miners to their last resting place,
most Of whom were laid side by side,
the largest funeral being that of George
Lindsey and his son who were very pop
ular. The Catholic and other two
churches we're scenes of a succession of
services. At Krebs twenty-five men
have been digging graves since Friday
night and day and it was necessary to
hold eight of the bodies, the graves not
being ready.
In an interview William Cameron,
superintendent, said: ''Thirty-nine were
killed in the mine and eighteen have
since died. The company can in no
way be held responsible for tho e1plo-
sion, as the mine has been carefully ex-
amined by experts, who claim the ven
tilation was good and there was no gas
in any part of the mine. The fault was
in the entry man firing his shots con-
trary to orders, which were not to be
fired until $50 p. M, when all the men
would be out of the mine. The fan
stopped running and the 1876 live men
were taken out within seven ho,ra eftar
the explosion, thus showing splendid
management. The mines will be clear
within ten days,
