The demonish folding bed has clutched
and slain another victim. In New York
city Mrs. German was cleaning her bed
with naphtha. She had not much sense,
for while she rubbed in the explosive
fluid with one hand she carried lighted
candle in the other. Naturally the
fumes from the naphtha floated to the
candle and burst into flame. conduct
ing the fire to the vessel which held the
liquid. Mrs. German, stupefied and
frightened, fell forward upon the bed.
If it had been an ordinary bed, this
might have saved her. But it was a
folding bed, and the internal machine
closed over her and locked her in, and
she could not lift the weight from her
body. Her charred remains were taken
to an undertaking establishment after
the iremen had extinguished the flames
in the house.

Lieutenant Peary by this time should
be at his northern camp and have his Win
terquarters well on the road toward COM
pletion. If all goes well, he will accom-
plish more on this trip than any one re-
cent arctic explorer has been able to do.
Two objects Peary had definitely in his
mind. One was to explore the detached
masses of land to the north of Greenland
and toward the north pole. This has
never yet been done. 1t is not known
how much is continent and how much is
ice and island in that faroff frozen re-
gion. Another object of the explorer is
to survey the north Greenland coast
where the gap is between Independence
bay and Cape Bismarck. If he succeeds
in his intentions, then we shall have here
after a definite map, where we have now
only an indistinct blur or guesswork out
lines. Peary has hope in his heart that
by passing from one to another of what
he calls detached masses of land" to the
north of Greenland he will be able
to reach the north pole itself. He did
not say much about this, but the hope
and aim were there. 1t would be fit
ting crown for the close of the nine
teenth century if an American should
after all these hundreds of years reach
the north pole.
