Opposed to Free Coinage.

Calcutta. Feb IA dcputation of ma
tive and European merchants to-day
waited upon the viccroy of India and
submitted resolutions demanding that, in
view of the failure of the Brussels none
tary conference to arrive at any con-
clusion i'll the bimetallic issue, the gov
eminent of India should Immediately
close the mints to free coinage. Lord
Lanstlowne said that the India Currency
association had strengthened the case by
leaving the proposals to change the stand
ard for future consideration. The op-
ponents of the change must now show
that while a change of the currency
standard of value from silver to gold
would benefit other nations, it would
damage India. The whole question must,
however, await the issue of the Hcrschell
currency commission, appointed in Eng
land to consider the question.

A MEMORY OF 1888,
Something About the Jan Mayen
Arctic Expedition.

Something About the Jan Maven
Arctic Expedition.
1t was aot until June 4 that the first
OF the whalers reached the island. If
they had come a month earlier it is
barely possible they might have saved
some of the wretched sailors. When
they entered Marie Muss bay they led
sad misgivings, because they saw no
enc upon the shore. The whalers
landed, and found their six former
comrades dead in their hunks.
The first of the seven to die had been
buried by the others. In front or one
of the bodies was some bread and
cheese, of which the man had made
his last rcpast; and before the body Of
the man who had written the last
words in the journal was an open
prayer book. Six graves were dug be-
side the first one, and q salvo was
fired over the bodies Of the poor
Dutch sailors, who had persisted to q
man because Europeans had not yet
learned how to pass Il winter in the
far North.
One Of the pictures shows Mt. Beer
en-, whose sides are always covered
with snow and glaciers. 1t will be OBJ
served on the map that 4 larger num-
Der Of names have been given to the
various topographic aspects of the
north coast than to any other part
of the island. This is because the drift
ice, croWding on the southern shores,
almost invariably prevents the ap-
preach of vessels, and the north coast
is far more accessible.
It is worth while to correct a blunder
which is to be found in many cncyclO-
paedias and books. The Dutch sailor
Jan Mayen, whose name was given to
the island, was not it's discoverer, as
nearly every work of reference asserts.
In 1907 the great English traveller,
Henry Hudson, while exploring in
Arctic waters, discovered the bleak
island and gave it the name Of Hud-
sons Touches. 1t was not until four
years after that the Dutchman Jan
Mayen, in the ship Fisk, visited the
island. 1t is another case Of Columbus
and Amerigo Vespucci. The original
discovcrer was not honored in the
name of the thing discovered. The
name of the Dutchman was given to
the island, and one Of the extinct
cratcrs is known as the Esk, from the
name Of the vessel; and, strangely
enough, we have q more satisfactory
account of HudsOn's discovery of the
island than the subsequent visit Of
Jan Mayen.
