was recently sent to ascertain the whereabouts OF
Lieut.. Peary and his party, has arrived at that
mort. having on board the entire relief party
and Lieut.. Peary's party with the exception of
John NJ. Veerhoeff, who lost his life by falling
into the crevasse of a glacier. With the ex-
cepton of this casualty, which has cast gloom
over both parties, both expeditions were en-
tirey successful in accomplishing their mis-
sions Mr. Peary made an inland journey of
1900 miles, and has made an extensive collect
ion of fora, fauna and ethnology of North
Greenland which is probably unsurpassed In
cluded in the collection are specimens Of water
and land mammals, a large variety of birds and
submarine animals, and a rare collection of
plants, lichens, moses. insects, etc. Mr.. Peary
has also demonstrated that Winter can be
comfortably and easily spent in the Arctic re-

by last bulletin gave forecasts of a storm
wave to cross the continent from 18th to 18th,
and the next will reach the Pacific Coast about
the 18th, cross the Western mountains by the
close Of the 10Th, the great Central Valleys
from Goth to 22d, and the Eastern States about
the 23d.
This storm will be of more than ordinary
severity in the Mississippi Valley, and nothing
will be lost by being the lookout for local
storms OF great energy about that time.
A cool wave will follow this disturbance,
crossing the Western mountains about the 2lst,
the great Central Valleys about the 23d, and
the Eastern States about the 25th
This cool wave will bring the first frosts of
any note, and about the 23d to 25th light frosts
may be expected as far south as Nebraska,
Iowa, northern Illinois, Michigan northern
Indiana, northern Ohio New York, and the
northern New England States
Rainfall will be generally well distributed
and the drouth will be broken in Mexico, Ari-

rangement of machinery. A Golfer
dam is worked along in the wake of
the water line, next the outer plat
ing in the coal bunker, on the slope
of the protective deck. This will be
filed with woodite. This is novelty
for the American navy vessels, and
is used for counteracting the dan
gerous effects of projectiles, espe-
cially when charged with the new
explosives. This material, which is
made of the ground fiber of the
cocoanut, with a small percentage,
perhaps, of unground fibers, has the
property of swelling when wet. The
result is that it closes together after
the passing of projectile through
it, as the water rushes in and ends
by becoming wet. Another advan-
tage is that this material is very
light in weight. The masts of the
vessel will have barbette galleries
for machine guns just below the
tops. The boats will all be slowed
inboard, out of the line of the fire of
the guns, on skid beams.
Her armament consists of one six
inch and ten four-inch rapid-fir
breech-loading rifles on center pivot
mounts, protected by thick steel
shields, worked as part of the hull
or made fast to the carriages. The
six-inch gun will be mounted on the
forecastle. Two of the four-inch
guns will be placed on the poop, two
under the poop deck in sponsors,
two under the forecastle in sponsors
and the other four, two on side, in
sponsors. The secondary battery
will consist of two six-pounders, two
three Founders, one one-pounder
and two thirty -millimeter re-
volving cannon. There will also be
six torpedo tubes, with openings
about four feet above the water,
worked from the berth deck, which
will be fixed forward and aft, and
four others, which will be training
tubes, placed at the sides on the
forward and after berth decks.
