A FINE OPPORTUNITY.

DIR. H. II. Haas, whose advertisement
as professor of music will be found in
this paper, is a native of Cologne, Ger
many, in which city, famous as a musical
centre, he received the highest and most
thorough musical education. The cele-
brated composer, DIR. Ferdinand Hitler.
was one of his teachers. DIR. Haas got
his degree from the ancient University of
Heidelberg, Germany. He came to this
country about nineteen years ago, taking
up music as profession; since when his
musical activity has been a record of un-
interrupted success. He enjoys indeed
an enviable, widespread reputation as a
musician; but it is as an instructor on
the piano that here in Virginia, where he
has taught for seven years at the famous
old Hollins Institute, and twelve years in
all, he is considered by those who are able
to judge, the best and most prominent
teacher in the State, distinguishing him.

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.

DR.. Nansen, the Norwegian explorer,
has returned from his Arctic trip without
succeeding in finding the North Pole He
claims to have gone four degrees further
north than any one else, but, owing to
the obstruction of the ice, was compelled
to:turn back at S6.15 degrees north lati-
tude. In the autumn of 1895 he reached
the north coast of Franz Jose Land and
built stone house, in which he lived the
whole winter The Jack son- Harmworth
expedition arrived there last spring, and
jackson met DR. Nansen in June, this
year, on the ice foes of Cape Flora Each
explorer was much surprised to meet the
other, and what was very remarkable,
they had been living not far away from
each other for some time. DR.. Nansen's
vessel, the Fran, was abandoned by him
last year and was drifting with the ice in
westerly direction 81 degrees. He ex-
poets that the vessel will eventually ar
rive at Spitzbergen, and says that had he

have reached the Pole. 1t is the same old
story of failure and suffering after the
display of indomitable pluck and great
endurance. The explorer, however, is not
discouraged, but will, no doubt, make
another attempt at the earliest opportu-
nifty, for certain fascination urges those
engaged in such work to continue trying
in spite of numerous failures The same
spirit animates all, whether the torrid
jungles of Central Africa or the lev
wastes of the Arctic regions are the bar

there are thousands who believe the mys-
teries of that sscold and cherries region
will yet be solved to the--benefit of man
kind in general, even though many valu-
able lives be lost in the effort.
DR.. Fridtjof Nansen is now about SO
years old and is n scientist who is willing
to risk his life in demonstration of his
conclusions, or for the benefit of man
kind. He entered the University of
Christiana, Norway, in 1880, and in 1882
went as passenger on the sailing
steamer Viking to Denmark Straits, on
the east coast of Greenland While thus
engaged he paid great attention to the
drift, and came to the conclusion that by
starting from the new Siberian Islands
and thence sailing directly north until
| his vessel became imbedded in the ice. he
could by drifting along and following the
west course of any land that might be
met, eventually reach the east coast of
Greenland. In accordance with this the
| DRY, he sailed from Christana June 81,
1898. on Il voyage of discovery in the Arc
tic regions and with the intention of
reaching the North Pole if possible. He
! embarked on a three-masted schooner. the
Fran, which was provided with 100
horse power steam engine. She was of
500 tons, and her sides were so construct
ed as to force ice meeting the vessel under
it, thus preventing all ''pinching'' and
'screwing." The Norwegian parliament
! gave Dr. Nansen about $50, 900 in aid of
his expedition, and additional funds were
forthcoming from private subscriptions,
including one of over 5000 from King
Oscar. In August, 1893, a dispatch was
received from him ut Yardo, written in
the Yugorski straits, announcing that the
expedition was about to sail into Kara
sea, and that so far the Fran had be-
haved admirably. After that he was not
heard from again till it wes reported from
Siberia last winter that he had discovered
the North Pole. There was very little
truth in that report, as recent develop
ments show. Officers of the United
| States navy, notably among them Engi
neer in-chief Melville, whose experience
in the Inflated Jeanette expedition makes
him high authority, does not hesitate to
say that DR.. Jansen's own experience dis
