We cleared the pines at last and drew
up in line beyond them.
Where is the village?"
Each man asked himself the question
as he stood staring at the spot where
the village had been and still ought to
be, but was not. A hundred men had
seen it before sunset. Ten minutes ago
we had heard the dogs and bells. The

mile of it so as to be ready for an at

were sent out two more were dis

the third pair were sent forward. We
could hear the barking of the dogs in
the village and catch the tinllle of the
bells on the leaders of the herd of
ponies, and we had the utmost conf

to pick our way carefully up the hill

there was the village before us. The
moon would rise at 1880. We would
wait half an hour after that.
Can it be that your young men are

The project Of having Il Columbian
inn at Jackson park has been definitely
abandoned. This building, which was
intended to be Il sort of club head
quarters for all notabilities who are TO
visit the fair this summer, was to be
erected on the lake shore just east OF
the German, Spanish and Russian build

from those countries objected so strcnu-
ously to the proposed building, on the
ground that it would shut OFT front
view of their several buildings, that the
worlds fair management deemed best
to abandon the project.

Frederick JACKSON, who is planning
to make an expedition to the north
pole by way of Franz Joseph Land, has
completed his preparations. He is going
to take only ten men with him, and
dogs, sledges and food for about three
years. Jaclison's belief is that Franz
Joseph Land extends to the eighty fth
degree, or within about three hundred
nautical miles Of the pole This is
based on the vast iccbcrgs that arc
found in the adjacent seas and the con
tinental size Of the glaciers which have
been observed upon it. This will mako
