he was on the verge Of the gTave. Ev-
cry evening he declared that he would
never again see the sun rise He oon-

TO sleep without being carefully pre-
pared for death and burial. Every night
he robed himl'h in his grave clothes

and passed the night firmly believing
and probably hoping that for him the
day would never dawn again. Finally
death camei but, grim and sly as be
was, he did not find old Barney unpre-

ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
Establishing a Base of Operation in

PoDuldr Science.


Theexpedition to Jones Sound, planDedfo for
1897, is intended to initiate a system
OF Continuous scientific explorations. Its
object is scientific research, and to this all
else will be suboriiaated. Special atten-
tion will be paid dtogeology.
Disasters having been plainly due TO lack
OF i secure and always accessible base, the
first object will be the establishment OF q
base at the mouth Of Jones Sound. which
Julius Won Payer calls 1.-The one spot most
suitable for such a base.'
Being assured Of annual communication
through the Scotch and Newfoundland
whalers, a weilhoused aud well provisioned
party, with some Eskimo families, will be
as safe there as anywhere on earth, and will
have before 1t q field uneQualled in richness
and extent.
To the north, the west coasts OF Eiles-
mere Land and Grinneli Land are 10 be
explored; to the northwest, the triangle
between those coasts and the Parry Islands

west ,she interior Of North Devon is an In

field, larger than the British Isles. Even
Greenland may not be beyond the sphere
OF that strategic point.

cost. Considering the enormous sums srcns
