ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
Jealousy In the Crew the Great Cause of
Their Failure.

jealousy IN the crew the Greht Shuse OF
Their Failure.
The reason that Arctic explorations
are all failures is that there is always
jealousy arising in the crew. And
this will probably always be the case
unless natives can be. utilized alto
gether to take the ship to its destina-
ton with no white man on board ex-
cept the explorer and one reliable sci
enlist to corroborate the explorers
discoveries. The natives are quick to
learn and could be trained for voy-
age of this kind so as to conduct it
successfully. But as certain as white
crew goes with the ship, every man
grows to imagine that it is the one
chance of his lifetime to make
name and fortune by discovering
for himself and concealing it from his
companions. The result is that q
jealousy is engendered which has
never yet failed to Illustrate the pur-
poses of the voyage. 1t is possible to
either find the open Polar sea, If it ex-
lists, or 60 around the world on the ice
until the temperate zone is encoun-
tered on the opposite side Of the earth.
believe that men can provide for
themselves so that the coolest tenn
perature of the earth will not seri-
ously affect them, but they need ma
tives to teach them how. Another
thing, if an explorer starts from the
temperate zone he will fail. His first
winter should be spent in Labrador,
his next still further north, and by
dividing the voyage he would become
acclimated gradually and thoroughly.
If the pole is ever reached it will be
with crew Of natives and an explorer
who is Injured to cold by experience in
the frigid zone.

Which a Deaf and Dumb Mother Of-
fered In q Chicago Court.
There was a pathetic scene in q
Chicago court recently. A divorce
case had been called for Judgment.
The wife sat surrounded by her
legal advisors. Her face she kept
shaded with her hands. Through the
open door that led into Judge Horizons
private room occasionally came child
ish prattle and peals OF innocent
laughter. The mothers head was
bowed with grief Then the judge
spoke. His solemn tones rang through
the room. His words were few He
babe the woman go in freedom, and
charged her with the safety of her
child.
But she did not need the spoken de-
cree. Her lawyer bent over to ex-
plain. Apparently she did not under
stand. Suddenly there was happy
shout Like ray of sunlight gold
en-haired child sprang out Of Judge
Horizons room and rushed pell nell
into her mothers arms. The two
lost, themselves in each others en-
brace. Tears of JOY coursed down the
mothers cheeks She kissed apd felt
her darling's face with trembling
fingers.
Then she left her seat, and, going
to the front Of the judges bench, fell
upon her knees
She lifted her hands first to heaven,
then to Judge Horton, and then to her
child. as II to invoke divine blessing
on his wisdom Her eyes wee red
with weeping.
For several moments the stran &c
pantomime continued. And the little
daughter stood with her hand upon
her mothers shoulder, smiling
through her tears at the judge.
Mammals deaf and dumb, sir"
she finally said shes asking God
to bless you for giving me back to
her"

CARRY OIL AND MoLAssEs.
Same Tanks Used by Vessels Between
This Country and Cuba.

This Country and Cuba.
Almost all the molasses which comes
from Cuba to the United States is
brought in the same tanks in steam
ships that are used to carry petroleum
as a return cargo. The ships tanks
are about sixteen feet deep and have
a neck seven feet deep. They are
pumped full of oil at Brooklyn or
Philadelphia, then taken to Havana,
and the oil is pumped out into the
tanks of the refining plants there.
Molasses is brought from the interior
of the island in huge hogsheads,
which are emptied into the storage
tanks. A suction pump drawing about
10000 gallons an hour fills each ships
tanks to within about two feet
of the top, that amount of space being
required for the expansion Of the mo-
lasses. 1t might be supposed that the
petroleum would have bad effect on
the molasses, but it has been shown
that the contrary is the case, and as
nearly one-half the importation Is
made into rum and the balance refined
into sugar little oil is not Of much
account. The tanks are cleaned after
the molasses has been pumped out by
turning in a powerful steam jet,
which washes down the sides and
liquefes whatever molasses may be
left in the bottom Of the tank, and the
suction pump finishes the work. A
cargo of molasses, which formerly
required ten or twelve days,
can be unloaded in forty-eight hours,
while the difference in cost of hand
ling, to say nothing Of the saving of
time, amounts to q large sum. The
first attempt at handling in bulk was
made by the brig Novelty in 1877.
She was fitted with q lining, and her
whole hold was used without parti-
tions. She made several trips be-
tween Matanza and Boston, but was
not successful as dividend-earper
Since the present system of dividing .
ships hold into tanks was devised and
put in practice on steamers the profits
of the trade and the steamship COM
panies have largely increased.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture Dabney sent the
house committee on agriculture a report
of the investigation in the matter Of the
Russian thistle ravages in the north
west, with the comment that it was
thorough and little remains to be done.
The report. which gives its history and
rapid spread, says it now occupies 40, 600
acres in adjacent territory in North and
South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Ne
braska, with isolated bodies as far east
ss Madison, Wis, and west to Denver.
The chief agents of distribution are
wind, in haxseed and in bedding in
stock cars on railroads. The report says
ii is easily killed by cutting before the
middle of August, before the seed ripens
but to be effective, general cooperation
is necessary or it may be kept down by
pRsturing. Further remedies suggested
are cleaning of seed to be planted, and
to prevent distribution by wind, wire
fences, or double rows of sunflowers, as
temporary fence, all around unfenced
farms, to stop the rolling Of weeds.

Csffery was esked il he contemplated

Senator Blanchard said that the
Wilson bill would put the sugar busi-

what it occupied under the Mckinley
law, as under the act sugar came in
free; and he did not apprshend any
trouble in constituting the Wilson bill

WASHINGTON, March 14.-One of the
most important propositions to be cub
mitted to congress will be presented to
the house tomorrow by Representative
Boatner Of Louisiana. The proposition
will recite numerous defaults of the
Union Pacific railroad and contiguous
lines to meet the debt due the United
States. 1t will charge the present and
past directors of the road with violation
of the trust, improper absorption of
outside lines and voting dividends con-
trary to the law and against the United
States. 1t will direct that the president
appoint special counsel to institute a
suit against the present and past direc-
tors, their heira and legal representa-
tives, to collect S35, 600, ,0O0 and interest.
With interest, the amount of the litiga-
tion would exceed $40, 100000. 1t wonld
be the biggest lawsuit in the history of
the country. The proposition goes into
the history of the operation under the
Union Pacific, and arraigns the directors
sharply. 1t will be referred to the

pages more. No amendments OF import.
ance were adopted today although the
northwestern members made vigorous
effort to increase the amount for the
survey of public lands. The appropria-
tion for the geological survey, which
usually encounters bitter opposition, to.
day passed unchallenged; the amount
appropriated is $4l4.000.
When the house went into committee
OF the whole on the sundry bill, on mo-
tion Of Holman the following amand-
ment was added to the clause providing
for expenses of hearings in land entries {:
Nothing in this section shall be con-
strued to apply to a contest pending
prior to the passage OF this act, and any
pereon who has initiated a contest prior
thereto ahRll have the right, upon can
cellation OF the prior entry, to enter the
tract involved, under any of the land
laws prior to the date of this act, had he
been qualified if this aet had not passed."
Sweet (Rsp.l of Idaho offered an
amendment to increase the Rppropria-
tion for surveying public lands from
$175.000 to $3.50 900. Defeated, 28 to 66.
Wilson of Washington offered an
amendment to permit the state Of Wash

denunciation of the system. After
