SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

Sir John Franklin entered the Brit
ish navy as Midshipman in 1900, and
was present at the battle of Trafalgar
in 1906. In 1919 he was appointed to
head an EXPEDITION from Hudson bay
to the Artic ocean. After suffering
terrible hardships. and being on sew
eral occasions on the verge of starva
ton, he reached home in 1922. having
travelled more than $500 miles in those
regions. In 1926 he submitted a
plan for an expedition overland to the
mouth Of the Mackenzie river, aud
thence by sea to the northwest extrem
ity of America" This proposition was
accepted. and he surveyed the coast
from the CoDpermine river to Point
Beechy. He was kuighted in 1929,
and in 1880 was appointed Governor
of Van Dieman's Land. In 1915 he
set out on a third Artic expedition
with two ships. the Erebus and Terror
and spent his first winter IN cove be
tween Cape Riley and Beechy island.
After that period many expeditions
We're dispatched. both from England
and America. in search of Sir John.
and it was not until 1854 that intelli-
gence reached England that he and
his heroic companions had IN all prob
ability, persisted in the winter of 1850
81 Lady Franklin, however, re
solved to have the mystery cleared up,
and last expedition was fitted out,
and the melancholy news was confirm
ed in 1859 by the return of Capt. Nc
Clintock, in the yacht Fox, after a
search for the lost explorers. This
officer brought with him indisputable
proofs Of the death of Sir John and
the loss of his crew. Several articles
belonging to the unfortunate adyen-
lures We're found at Ross cairn and
Point Victory At the latter place a
record was discovered, which stated
that Sir John Franklin had died Oh
the 18th Of June, 1917. Many other
traces were found on the west coast OF
King Williams island, as the differ
ent survivors of the EXPEDITION had
strayed away from each other, prob
ably in search Of food or means of es
Gaping from their terrible position.

An Indian road officer was once ask
ed what was the cleverest act he ever
knew an elephant perform, and he
said that once, when unloading some
steel tubing from on board ship, it
was the elephants task to carry the
pipes by means of his trunk from one
part of the wharf to another. The
pipes had been oiled to prevent them
from rusting; and when the elephant
took one up it slipped from his grasp.
He tried it again with the same result,
and at last seemed to comprehend
what the reason of all this was; for he
shortly afterward pushed the pipe with
his foot to where there was heap of
sand and then rolled the piping back
ward and forward The sand, owing
to the oil. adhered to the tube; and
the elephant then put his trunk round
it and carried it with ease. He did
the same with the remainder without
aid or suggestion from his mahout.
