until it became my good fortune, through friends invitation, to meet the charming young wife of the ex- plorer, and from her lips hear an ex- planation of the principles upon which her husbands plan is founded
 Dr. Nansens home is picturesquely situated at Lysaker, suburb of Chris tiania. Here live his wife and daugh- ter, the former an intellectual, vi vacious and cheerful young woman, the latter beautiful little girl about two and half years of age. Here they wait his return in characteristic Nor wegian home, in every part of which mementoes of the absent voyager meet their eyes. A bust of Dr. Nansen is the prominent object in the parlor In every corner, on every little stand and table are photographs and paintings of the distant husband and father. The walls are decorated with paintings rep resenting arctic scenes and adventures.

built ship afioat. Its construction is such that when the ice freezes solidly around it and begins to press against the sides it will be lifted or pushed up- ward and will rest upon the top of the ice long before the crushing point is reached. The bottom is flat, the sides have great sheer. It is rigged like three-masted schooner and has a screw propeller, which gives a speed of eight miles an hour It carries coal oil and provisions for five years, though the trip is calculated to last only three.
 On previous polar expeditions it has been found difficult to keep the frost from penetrating the sides of the ship. 1t was not rare to have the mattresses under the sailors turn into humps of ice. Dr. Nansen has had layers of various material, almost impenetrable by frost, placed along the sides and under the deck. Pains have been taken to fur nish the vessel as warmly as possible, and a dynamo will furnish electric lights during the long nights. i wind mill is to furnish the power; if that fails it has been so arranged that the men in taking their daily walks can at the same time furnish the power for the generator. Dr. Nansen was also care ful to have the ship stocked with a good library
 Dr. Nansen has on a previous occa- sion shown his skill and perseverance. He is the only person who has ever crossed over the interior of Greenland. In 1888 he undertook the feat and was crowned with success.
 Before left Dr. Nansen's home, Mime. Nansen showed me his study. The library contains a large percentage of all the books that have ever been writ ten on travels and explorations. The walls are filled with all manner of relics, which Dr. Nansen has brought from Greenland and other arctic re- gions.

and how they had finally led to the ex- petition.
 Since his twenty-seeond year Dr. Nansen has been contemplating cross ing the no.th pole, and with that end in view has been diligently studying the Arctic ocean currents. He noticed the two large currents flowing down the coasts of Greenland out of the polar regions. Approximate calculations showed that an enormous quantity of water was thus transported southwark ly. Of course it would be impossible for the polar ocean to continue to yield such great volumes of water unless similar streams were somewhere flow ing into it. Dr. Nansen sought their source on the opposite side of the pole off the coast of Siberia, where he dis covered a great current which moved steadily toward the pole. Not only did the water flow toward the pole, but the thick ice crust was carried by the stream in the same direction. The idea struck Dr. Nansen that it would be possible to drift across the pole start ing of the coast of Siberia and coming out by way of Greenland This idea

SILVER GOING BACK.
Coombs Says Other Prod
 uets Are Receiving Attention West.

Ex-' congressman Coombs Says Other Prod
 ucts Are Receiving Attention West.
 Ex-Congressman Coombs. now qov- ernment director of the Union Pacific railroad, has been touring the silver states of the west, and has apparently found what Chairman Carter found. He says:
 One of the things chat especially in- terests me is the fact that the country Is rapidly getting over it's absolute and unqualified demand for free silver. It Is getting to see that free silver is not coming, and that this fact is prov Ing valuable to it. It is turning it's attention to other undeveloped re- sources. Heretofore. when there was market for silver at good prices. all attention was turned to that one in- dustry Now that silver mining has become less profitable, the people are turning their attention to other in- dustries, such as the mining of gold the raising of stock, the development of other mines and manufactures. have no doubt that the result will ba such development of these other in- custrles as to render the country thus affected better off.
 The state of Colorado is this year producing enormous quantities of gold. ana IS giving California close race in this line. The fruit productions the agriculture, as well as the various mining and manufacturing interests or this western country, so dependent on silver are being rapidly developed and the people are not going to suffer rom the loss of silver as much as thev had expected. Many of the people are seeing that it is impracticable for this country to undertake free coinage of silver under the present circumstances. ana are accepting the situation. - Washington Star.

was strengthened by the result of James Gordon Bennetts Jeannette expedition of ISs2-s3. The Jeanette was ship wrecked between seventy degrees and seventy-eight degrees !. L. and one hundred and ffty-fiye degrees L. E. 6. Three years after some of the ships stores were found near Cape Farewell, the southern extremity of Greenland. directly opposite the pole, from where they had been east in the sea. It was evident that they must have driven across the polar regions.
 Dr. Eansen considered this theory, demonstrated and reasoned that if he could have placed himself upon the stores lost by the Jeanette he would have crossed with them the polar sea But this is far from the only proof of a traus-polar current Every week large quantities Of driftwood arrive on Spitz- bergen island and Greenland coasts by the polar route in Siberia. In this way the Esquimau is provided with al the wood he needs for houses, tools and fire. Without it he could not ex- ist Furthermore. Dr. Nausen caused experts to examine the earth and rocks found on the ice which drift along the Greenland coast. and it was decided that these were identical with those Of Siberia. and must have drifted on the ice across the pole.
 In short, Dr. Nansen concluded that there is a short current flowing direct Y across the polar region. and that f a vessel could be built strong enough to resist the pressure Of the ice, 1t would be possible to drift with that current across the pole.
 Dr. Nansen concluded that there must be an open polar sea, particularly from the fact that the majority Of the north pole expeditions have been stopped. mot, as most people believe, by ice, but by open water. The Austrian Ungarn expedition was stopped bv open water at s2.5 degrees '. L. Lieut.. Lockwood, of the Greeley expedition, was likewise stopped by open water at 83. 24 degrees, \. l.. Of course 1t vii be understood that the open water pre- vents the progress Of dogs over the ice.
 Even if the theory of an open polar sea should not prove 8 reality, Br. Nansen is likely to pass through the mysterious region frozen tightly into an immense ice place over which he will have no control. In this case 1t is not certain that he will be able to pass directly over the pole but may be car ried some little distance to either side of it. He is in hopes, however, with the assistance Of his dogs and sleighs to reach the very point where the earth's axis terminates the true geo graphical pole.

Why, if l had not felt the greatest confidence in his sue cess should never have been foolish enough to let him go The only thing which l can see that may prevent his return is sheer misfortune whereby the vessel is crushed; even if Fran should be wrecked they have boats; if they, too. are lost, then, as last re- sort, they have tents to erect on the ice
 asked if she had no desire to accom- pany her husband.
 She answered promptly: "No, in- deed that would be outside of the sphere of a woman. That would not have been the proper thing for ne to do.
 I ventured to mention that Mrs. Peary accompanied her husband on an arctic trip.
 "Yes, she said, and so much the worse for the expedition! It must have been great burden to carry her along, although Mrs. Peary certainly showed much courage. Mme Nansen. it may be inferred. does not advocate women's Sd4Ifa8e
 Did you ever try to persuade your husband to give up his bold plan?"
 No; on the contrary urged and en- couraged him to the task, for it was his life work, and without an attempt at it he would never have been happy. Since he was 50 unfortunate as to have such desire, it was my duty to assist him in satisfying it"
 "So you call it a misfortune that he had such Q desire2"
 "WeI, can't say I call it fortunate to have him up near the north pole while am sitting here"
 Mime. Nansen's faith in the success of the expedition and the safe return of her husband is sanguine, and as grounds for her belief she gave me an interesting account of Dr. Nansens plans and told how they had gradually developed through many years of study
