Mediterranean, nor yet as fer as Sir Ed
ward Parry went away back in 1927 from
the northern shores Of Spitzbergen. Bus in
exploring the ice cap Of Greenland and in
part fixing the northeastern coast OF that
continent he rendered splendid service to
geography and science.

Next year Peary may 20 much farther
north than any one has yet been, IL is his
purpose to explore the islands which lie to
the north of the mainland of Greenland as
far as they extend. If they 90 to the pole,
he may follow them that far. The proba-
bilites are, however, that these islands do
not run much farther north than the lati-
tude of 50 degrees "a minutes, made 10y

equal u little more than 60 statute miles.

deavor. His methods are original, and his
field of operations, on a large scale, wholly
new He has demonstrated that the very
/ highest results in the way of travel and ex-
ploration may be accomplished by small
! parties. He and Astrup, the faithful Nor

which Travelled across the continent to
/ Greenland to the eastern shore two years
! ago. Whereas the English government and
| other nations have sent out expeditions
which cost a half million or more dollars
the English expedition of 1875 is believed
to have cost 81 600, 000-not one of these
cumbersome parties has accomplished one
half as much in the way of actual explora-
ton as was achieved by Peary and Astrup
with "a few dogs.
The Geographical Society.
Another arctic project is being considered
in this city. a young man of the name OF
Stein attached to the geological survey,
has laid plans for an exploration of Files
mere Land, which lies to the west of Green
land, and whose western and northern
shores have not been explored. Inasmuch
as this land is part of the American con
tinent, Mr.. Stein says Americans should fol

tends. lie Will not expect 10 reach hlgn
latitude if he does explore this region, but
hopes to colonize party of men, and by
making advance stations ultimately to
reach the pole itself on this or some other
route Mr.. Stein is very enthusiastic and
has applied to the Geographical society OF
this city, of which Gardner Hubbard OF
Bell telephone fame is president, for assist

Much anxiety is felt here for the fate Of
Dr. Nansen, the Norwegian who has delib
erately sailed into the ice pack off the coast

of Siberia, hoping to be drifted through the
region of the pole. 1t is known that arti-
cles from the Jeanette, the ship used by
De Long and Melville, drifted somewhere
through the great polar sea and We're picked
up at the southern extremity of Greenland.
In the course of three or four years DIR.
Nansen hopes to follow this track. Opinion
here is divided as to his success and as to
whether or not he will be able to make
his escape alive. The best judgment ap.
pears to be that DR.. Nansen's scheme is
rather desperate, but that with his equip
ment he will be able to make his way out
of the Arctic ocean in case of the destruc.
ton of his vessel. He is equipped to travel
over the surface of the ice pack with small
boats and sledges, and experience has
shown that there is little or no danger in
such work 1t is not to Nansen that the
Arctic experts at Washington look for a
solution of the polar problem. They are
hoping that some American viii come for
ward and perform the great Feat.

WASHINGTON, Dec 4--There has been
sudden revival of interest here, "a else
where, in arctic work. Washington CON
tains quite number of men who have al
ready made records in the frozen north,
and by no one are the two arctic ventures
now in progress more carefully watched
than by those veterans of the spA. and
ice, Lieutenant Greedy of the ar and
Commander Melville of the navy. Neither
Greedy nor Melville is likely to 90 again
to the arctics, though the latter has not
lost his ambition in that direction. He has
had experiences which would induce any
ordinary man resolve never to repeat them,
but Commander Melville is not an ordi-
nary man. He is great big fellow, large
of bone and muscle, and with heart to
correspond. He would like nothing better
at this very moment than to place himself
at the head of party bound for the north
pole, that glittering unknown point which

The Turning Tide in Pension Payments.
In The recess of Congress administrative
affairs at Washington 60 on with little
that calls for comment The annual re-
poIt the Commissioner of Pensions has
lately been made public, with one exceed
ingly noteworthy piece of Information.
II would appear from Commissioner
LrcErcn's figures that the pension rol. has
reached its maximum and begun 10 de-
cline. 1t was believed year or two ago
that the roll would include a million
names OF persons actually drawing regu-
lar pensions before the tide began to turn,
and that the annual appropriation for pen
sions would reach the almost inconceiv-
able maximum of $500, 600. 900 before a
shrinkage should set in. But unless Con.
gress should pass law granting pensions
TO every surviving Union soldier, regard
less OF disabilities, or should otherwise
materially change the present system, 1t
is probable that from this time forth the
number Of pensioners will decrease from
year To year and the aggregate annual
payment TO them grow smaller In like
ratio. Commissioner Lochren reports
diminution Of pensioners just before the
million had been reached, aud a consider
able reduction over last year in the re-
quired appropriation. From The Pro

1t may interest some of ourl County
Freeholders and Freeholders OF other
counties to know that the operations OF
the b. idge trust, swho work in this State,
are, TO say the least, very questionable.
Tbeir method is to send q number of
agents, agree among themselves who shall
have the contract, end then put 10 bids
not too far apart as TO amount, but all
wonderfully high, and the winner. divides
up the profits. Last week a Warren coun
~ firm secured Il bridge contract for
little over 800. The other bids ranged
in price from 81. 700 to 80, 900. Some of the
age lis tried very hard to buy the Warren
county bid, but were unsuccessful. Then
they attempted to find out what the bid
was, with the very evident intention OF
bi lding under, SO that they would not
be annoyed by that contractor again. We
may have something further to say on
the subject at a future time. Warren
