Next year Peary may go much farther
north than any one has yet been. 1t is his
purpose to explore the islands which lie to
the north OF the mainland of Greenland as
far as they extend. II they so to the pole,
he may follow them that far. The proba-
bilities are, however, that these islands do
not run much farther north than the lati-
tude of s. degrees 81 minutes, made by
Lockwood and Brainard. That point is
S95 miles from the north pole, reckoning
geographical or nautical miles, Go OF which
equal a little more than 60 statute miles.

ington woman. Her mother and sisters
still live here and are we'll known and
much liked. Mrs Peary will come back
from the arctic next summer or autumn, il
Is expected, with baby born on the shores
OF icy Greenland.
The arctic and scientific men of Washing
ton give Peary credit for having marked
out a new and distinct field in arctic en-
deavor. His methods are original, and his
field Of operations, ON a large scale, wholly
new. He has demonstrated that the very
highest results in the way Of travel and ex-
ploration may be accomplished by small
parties. He and Astrup, the faithful Nor
wegian, We're the only members Of the party
which travelled across the continent to
Greenland to the eastern shore two years
ago. Whereas the English government and
other nations have sent out expeditions
which cost IA half million or more dollars
the English expedition of 1873 is believed
to have cost $1,000 ,OO0-not one of these
cumbersome parties has accomplished one
half as much in the way of actual eNplora-
ton as was achieved by Peary and Astrup

night ride from the boat landing.
When they reached the landing, Hale
found horse, and after hard ride
through mud and brush he reached head
quarters. After he had had his supper
and as lie was sitting talking with the
general, the major rode up. He had lost
his way more than once, his horse had
fallen with him, he was covered with
mud and III the worst possible temper.
