Another Polar Expcdtttou.

Mrs. Peary, Of Arctic fame, says the
San Francisco Examiner, is not to
have monopoly of Polar celebrity
among her sex. Another lady will
share the perils of the high latitudes
in the company of her husband. Mrs.
Pcary's rival is the wife of Fridtiof
Nansen, the Norwegian explorer, who
sailed the other day from Christiana,
bound to the Pole, or at least to the
nearest approachable point to the
desired goal. Mrs. Nansen is a clever
and highly educated lady, who shares
her husbands enthusiasm in the
cause OF exploration. She is a great
student OF Arctic literature, and has
in many ways assisted her husband
in the preparations for long voyage.
The ship in which Nansen sails is
an interesting piece of naval architec.
ture. She is built of wood, but of a
strength never hitherto aimed at.
The frame timbers, Nansen modestly
says, may be said to be we'll seasoned,
for though cut from the gnarled cakes
of Italy. they have been stored in a
Norwegian dockyard during the whole
lifetime OF the explorer. These tim.
bers-the ribs of the ship-are a foot
thick, and are placed only two inches
apart, the intervening spaces being
filled with a special composition, SO
that even the skeleton of the shin
would be water tight should the
planks be stripped off. Inside, the
walls are lined with pitch-pine planks
alternately lour inches and eight

THANK SEWING DAY.
The President by Proclamation,
Sets Apart Thursday, Nov. 30.

The President has issued the follow
ing Thanksgiving proclamation:
"By the President of the United
States of America - proclamation
While the American people should
every day remember with praise and
thanksgiving the divine goodness and
mercy which has followed them since
their beginning as a nation, it is fitting
that one day in each year should be
especially devoted to contemplation OF
the blessings we have received from
the hand Of God, and to grateful ac-
knowledgement of His loving kindness.
Therefore, |, Grover Cleveland, Presi.
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
Both day of the present month, No
vember, as day of thanksgiving and
praise, to be kept by the people of our
land. One day let US forgo our ordi.
nary work and employments and as
semble in our usual places OF worship
where we may recall all that God has
done for us, and where from grateful
hearts our united tribute of praise and
song may reach the throne of grace
Let a reunion of kindred and social
meeting OF friends lend cheer and en-
joyment to duty and let generous
gifts of charity for the relief of the
poor and needy prove the sincerity Of
our thanksgiving"

Ten Miles Hlgh.

One OF the most interesting expert
ments with balloons that has ever
been undertaken was that of Messrs.
Hermite and Besancon at Paris
Vaugirard last spring. They sue.
ceeded in sending a balloon to the
unprecedented elevation of sixteen
thousand metres, or about ten miles
There were no people in the balloon,
but it carried a variety of self-register-
ing instruments designed to record the
temperature, the atmospheric pressure,
etc. The little balloon was started on
its lofty trip about noon, when the air
was remarkably still and clear. 1t
rose rapidly, and in three quarters OF
an hour has attained an elevation OF
ten miles, at which height it remained d
for several hours.
1t was there subjected to an atmo-
spheric pressure only about one.eight
as great as that at the surface of the
earth, and NJ. Hermite explains its
floating for so long time at constant
height by supposing that the tempera.
ture does not vary sensibly with the
elevation OF the floating body after the
latter has attained an altitude where
there remains no trace of watery vapor
But toward six o'clock, when with
the decline OF day the temperature
began rapidly to fall, the balloon
started back toward the earth, ar.
irving with gentle motion, which did
not disturb the instruments it carried
at eleven minutes past seven, a,
Chanvres, near Paris-Vaugirard, from
which it had Youths Com
pdRiOn.

inches thick, with supports to resist
pressure in every direction. Outside,
there is a three-inch skin of oak, care
fully calked and made water-tight,
then covered by another skin of oak
four inches thick, which in turn is in.
creased in a still thicker layer of the
hard and slippery greenheart. Bow
and stern are heavily plated with iron
to cut through thin ice. Finally, to
render her fit for living in during the
coolest weather the water tight COM
partment set apart for this purpose
Zone of thrce) is lined, walls and
ceiling, with layers of non-conducting
material. Tarred canvas, cork, wood,
several inches OF felt inclosed by
painted canvas, and finally wooden
wainscot, promise to effectually keep
out the cold. In the roof q layer of
two inches of reindeer's hair has also
been introduced.
The form of the vessel is as original
as her material. She measures 12S
feet in extreme length, thirty-six in
beam, and is seventeen feet deep.
With full cargo she will draw fifteen
feet, and have freeboard of little
more than three feet. She is pointed
fore and aft, the stern being so formed
that the propeller and rudder are
deeply immersed to escape floating
ice, and both these vital fittings are
placed in wells which may be
brought on board in case of need, or
readily replaced if damaged. The hull
is rounded, so that even the keel does
not project materially. The form is
designed so that when the ice begins
to press it will not crush but lift the
ship, as one might lift an egg from a
table by sliding two hands under it.
She is provisioned for five years,
carries no alcoholic drinks, and is
manned by eleven stanch sailors.

Don't you see what is the matter,
said the guest, looking Indignantly at
the piggin and the gourd.
Indeed, | see nothing wrong, said
the now distressed host.
Please tell me what is the matter.
my dear governor. The devil you say I,
Nothing wrong. indeed. | go to sleep
with Il pitcher of toddy before me;
wake up and find a piggin of spring
water; and the Governor of South
Carolina tells me in his own house that
he sees nothing wrong in that, Well
well. All | have to say cir, said the
Governor of North Carolina, rising
with a very great, but rather unsteady
dignity, is, that it is ID long time
between drinks.
Oh, said the Governor of South Car
olina, is the situation flashed on him.
| see; that's Betsy Jane. She means
stop, and we're done for the day.
am sorry | can't bring the pitcher
back. | humbly beg your pardon,
governor, but maybe there's Betsy
Jane at your house, and maybe you
know how it is yourself.
The offended dignity of the Cover
nor of North Carolina dissolved slow
ly into genial smile of intelligent
comprehension, and, solemnly wink
ing one eye. he fell-either upon the
neck of his host or upon the porch
floor, tradition does not say which
exclaiming, you bet, old boy; you bet.
All this happened nearly one hum
dred years ago, yet according to Sena-
tor Vance, tradition has failed to re-
cord the interesting part played by
Betsy Jane in that celebrated little
comedy, while it has kept alive the
wicked saying of the Governor of North
Carolina as a convenient device for
stimulating the hospitality OF forget
| full host.

The Part Played by Betsy Jane.

The Part Played by Betsy Jane.
Senator Vance, writing in the Chat
anoogia Times, gives what is regarded
as a version of the Governor Of North
Carolina to the Governor of South
Carolina. AS Mr.. Vance is q North
Carolinian himself, and thoroughly
! acquainted with his States history
traditions and folk lore, we may pre-
sumo that he has it about right.
The Senator tells the story in fe-
licitous style, but we can only glance
hastily at the part which is preliminary
to the great scene itself, says the
Springfield Republican.
Many years ago in the early days Of
Statehood, the Governor of North
Carolina put clean shirt and a pair
Of socks into his saddlebags, mounted
his horse and rode away to the south
through the pine forests to pay long
promised visit to the Governor of South
Carolina. In due time he was vel
coined by his brother Governor with
old fashioned plantation hospitality.
When asked how he felt, the distin-
guished traveller replied:
Thank you, Governor, I am tired,
sleepy, hungry and sober.
1t seems superfluous to add that the
Governor Of North Carolina was i'm
mediately made comfortable and all
his wants abundantly supplied. The
next afternoon was spent by the two
Governors in the shade OF the great
roomy veranda. They were happy
with corn cob pipes and long twists of
home made tobacco, while between
their low, easy bottom rockers, within
arms reach of each, was brimming
pitcher of apple toddy. the mellow
fruit resting ON the surface of the di-
vine tipple. The two Governors
talked cotton, horses, politics, and run
away slaves, for hours, now and then
sinking into dozes and waking up to
take another drink. Late in the after
noon Betsy Jane appeared on the
porch. She was the good wife OF the
host, and she knew all about the fail
ings of Governors. Betsy Jane con-
clu6ed that the two cocks were full
enough, SO she slipped away the
pitcher, still half full, and in its place
put a piggin of cool spring water, with
u yellow gourd. Then:
Though sound asleep, the Governor
of North Caroliua felt that something
was wrong. Every nerve in him
cried out against the presence OF a
hostile element, and be awoke. His
perturbed soul had not deceived him.
The pitcher Of toddy was gone. He
Immediately awakened his host, who
courteously inquired:
/! What is the matter?

of All Things?-Are the CaIama-
ties of the Past Year an Indica.
tion of Final Judgment"
Lieut.. Totten, who prophesies that
the end of the world is at hand, has
reason to be greatly encouraged by the
years cyclones, drouths, comets, sun
spots, crop failures and financial dis
asters, and general epidemic of disas-
ters by land and sea. Prof. Totten
calculated, according to his interpreta-
ton OF Old Testament prophecy, that
the end of the earth was due about
September. We were at that time, he
said, in the llth hour and J0th minute
OF the earth's I2-hour day OF biblical
time.
One Of the ominous signs, says the
Minneapolis Tribune, has been unusual
prevalence OF comets during the year.
The third or fourth comet in twelve
months is now traversing the heavens.
The spots on the sun, the aurora
borealis and meteoric showers which
have been OF unusual activity and
brilliancy. Cyclones have never been
so numerous as this season. In April
alone &c States were visited, and the
number since January already reaches
into the hundreds, with loss of sew
eral hundreds OF lives and several mil
lions of property. Floods have done
disastrous work on the Ohio, Missis-
sippi and Missouri and tributaries,
and the overflow of the Colorado is
again significantly turning Deaths
Valley into an inland sea. Drouth
has seriously damaged crops in every
country on the globe. Hay in Eu-
rope arose to $50 ton, and cattle
were driven to market to keep them
from starvation. Cholera is raging in
Asia, Russia and Southern France.
Financial disaster is prevalent in all
countries. War in South America is
! reflected in the war-like preparations
of Europe. There has been an epi-
demic of fires, mine and railroad dis
asters, dynamite explosions and ship
wrecks. Heresy trials, socialistic up
risings, horrible murders and lynch
ings are appropriate links in the train
of evils.
Finally, Prophet Virgins caps the
climax with the announcement that
the Star of Bethlehem, has changed
into a comet; is rapidly approaching
the earth. That settles it. Ignatius
Donnelly's Ragnorok" demonstrates
that the earth is a mecca for comets
Lieut.. Totten and the Peoples Party
platform have both predicted the gen.
eral downfall. The heavens and the
earth have given forth the omens, and
now Prophet Virgins has risen from
oblivion to announce that the Star ol
Bethlehem is ON its final mission.
Now turn loose the Jeremiahs and let
there be rivers of tears.
