THE FALCON.

Ahnegito P.ary, and an Eskimo girl whom Mrs. Peary had brought with her from the arltic regions, was escorted to n waiting coach and hurried to the Penn. sylvania railroad station, where she board cd train for Washington, the homo of her mother
 In n short interview the bravo little woman showed plainly by her manner that she is much chhgrined because of her husbands determination to remain in the arctic region. She declares she is going north again next summer and bring him back to civilization if she has to drag him with her. Mrs Peary appeared in the best of health, and the baby, born amid icebergs, which is now little more than a year old and beautiful child, seems to be all the bettor for the rough life 1t has been compelled to lead.
 Commander Bryant. who had charge of the relief party, says the expedition was a great success. We made many yalu- able collections, the ethnological speci- mems being very rare. 1 think we have the finest series of photographs of life and scenes in the arctic country that were ever taken"
 Tho party killed eight polar bears and have the skins with thom on tho Falcon. They also have the skeletons of all of these animals. In addition they brought back about 50 Eskimo dogs.
 All of the relief party came on tho Fal- con except Dr. Ohlin, who left 1t at Co penhagen, and Professor Chamberlain of Chicago and H. L. Bridgeman of Brook lyn, who went from St. Johnt Toronto, where they will examine some fossils. All on board were reticcnt, and it is said they ! have been prohibited speaking for five days or longer, and it was therefore diff cult to get information about the trip.
 It was intimated by ono of the men who was with Pcary that several who came away would have remained with tho OK plorer in the frozen north but for the scarcity of food When asked if it was true that the explorer and his party had been compelled to eat whale blubbcr, the men declined to either confirm or deny the story.
 It Is believed, however, that Peary Is threatened with lack of food that may Ee- come serious. The Falcon will load with coal and return immediately to St. John.

Stone Road. Ar. tn. chenpc.,.

Roads with broken stone founda- tion, or improved rnads such as gre be coming cOIumom in New Jersey, are never very dusty. and have a hard, smooth surface in the wettcst wealth CT.

How to Keen fin. Road prv.

If the road is shaped up right, and the loose stones of. and iron sluice pipe set for proper drainage, and the roadbed rolled down hard with an ordinary farm roller. the water will run of from in stead of soaking into the road, and then it is dry and good. Surprising what a few iron .sluice pipes and n days work with a farm roller will do
 Get your road shaped up and iron sluice pipe set so a rider or driver never knows where sluice is. roll it down, and you have hard, dry road that is a thing of beauty and joy forever at an expense that is nearly niL-Old Road master.

 Yesterday was an ideal day, with all of that beauty of clear and bracing air and all of tho tender touch of q dying year that September days alone can give. The prospects last night were that the first part of today would be the same but that the autumnal beauty would pass away be- fore the vanguard of the approaching cy- clone in the afternoon.

 Last night the wires were down at Key West and at Jupiter inlet, and no reports were recelNeu Dy the weather bureau rom these places. The cyclone has evidently ravaged the Florida coast and last night undoubtedly did much damage along the coast of the Carolinas. Yesterday morn ing word was sent by the weather bureau to various points along the southern coast to warn the people on the sea islands and other exposed places of the approach of the storm.
 The tornadoes reported in the west will not probably affect New York, but the cyclone whose stormy feet were beating the seas of Hatteras at midnight is sure to be here Tho wind blew strong all yesterday afternoon, and at midnight it was sweeping down from the northwest with a force which announced the ap- proach of the storm.
 All ships which leave port today bound for southern ports are sure of meeting the cyclone. After it has passed and has gone out to expend itself on the wide waters of the north Atlantic then will come, 1t Is feared, tales of wreck and devastation. The damage which it haa already wrought in the West Indies and along the coast of Florida has not yet been fully reported. but when the accounts do come in it socms, from the meager reports received, that they will make a long story of devastation
