was not confirmed by any subsequent
and reliable Information from the plucky
party of Arctic explorers. Other alleged
news from DR.. Nansen mas been publisher
from time To time. One dispatch, bearing
date Of March :. 1880. was sent from
IoaGon and contained the statement that
4 letter had been received at Hammer
fest, Norway. dated at Kjollefjord. Feb.
~. This letter contained the statement
that Il balloon had been sighted by Il
telegraph inspector. located between lie
besy and l.angfjord, and that it doubtless
contained Il message from Nanscn.
The last reliable information from the
explorer was 4 dispatch from Var,loe,
dated Aug. 23. 1893. and signed By Clara

to enter the Kara sea.
Nansen's Arctic Thec-y.
Since his twcnty-second year Or. Nan
sen has been contemplating crossing the
north pole. and with that end in view has
been diligently studying the Arctic ocean
currents. He noticed the two large cur
rents flowing down the coast of Green
land out of the polar regions. Approx
mate calculations showed that an enor-
NOUS quantity OF wafer WAS tNlIS trans
ported southwardiy. OF course. it would
lac impossible for the polar ocean to con
inu To yield such great Volumes Of water
unless similar streams were somewhere
flowing into it. DR.. Nansen sought their
source on the opposite side of the pole off
the coast Of Siberia. where he discovered
n 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.. Nan
sen that it would be possible To drift
across the pole starting off the coast OF ST.
IBERIA and coming out by way OF Green
land. This idea WAS strengthened by
the result of James Gordon Benefits
Jeanette expedition Of 1888.
DR.. Manson considered this theory dem
onstrated 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 transpolar eur
rent. Every week large quantities of
driftwood arrive Oh S~pitzbcrgen island
and Greenland coasts by the polar route
from Siberia. In this way the Eskimo is
provided with all the wood he needs for
houses. tools and fire. Without it he
could not exist. Furthermore, DR.. Nan
sen caused experts to examine the earth

TemDeranceS Notes,

The meeting of the Woodlawn w. c, T. L,
with Mr.. Frank Harris on Thursday. 23rd
inst. was very enjoyable affair Although
the rain, which began in the morning. con-
tnued to fall during the entire day there
was good attendance. 1t was matter of
regret that several members were detained at
home by sickness. Mrs. c. ID. Abrahams,
County President, who is also president of
the Woodlawn Union, was present and opened
the exercises with prayer and Scripture read
ing. Various temperance topics were then
taken up and discussed in an informal man
ner until dinner was announced. The guests
then repaired to the dining room where an
appetizing repast was served by the kind
hostess and her assistants. The afternoon
was given up to social converse and passed
rapidly and pleasantly away. Mrs. A. c.
Shippers, who was present by invitation, read
one Of her characteristic humorous selections.
Among the topics discussed at the above de-
scrbed meeting was the Local Veto Law
which the Maryland State Temperance ALI
ance is making such strenuous efforts TO have
passed by the present Legislature. 1t was
unanimously agreed by those present that our
present prohibitory law is far superior and
that it would not be safe to attempt any
change, especially while our present law is
being so well enforced. Out in the country
either to see or hear of Il case of drunk
enness, and if the law he enforced as
strictly in the future as in the past few
months it will be re-eDacted by the voice oi
the people at the polls in '9S by an increased
majority.
The United American Mechanics, and other
powerful secret societies have recently decided
to exclude from membership" saloon keepers,
bar tenders and professional gamblers.
This is well, but why not go further and ex-
Glade the brewers and wholesale liquor
dealers, who are the real enemies of society,
the saloonist and bartender being bnt agents
for the dissemination of this evil, which has
its roots deep down in the national life,
guarded and protected by state and national
laws, it spreads its upas branches everywhere
dropping the fearful fruits of crime poverty
and insanity.
Many OF the members OF these societies who
vote out the saloon keeper, continue to vote
in the licensed saloon, which certainly can
not be run without the "keeper' and bar
tender. If these men are detrimental to
secret societies, are they not much more de-
trimental to society at large. We hope this
leaven may continue to work until it has
leavened the whole lump, so that these secret
organizations will present solid phalanx
against the licensing of the saloon. and that
wherever and whenever the question comes
up they may be depended upon to vote for
Temperance and against license.

Dam Burst.

The dam on the West Amwell farm near
Elkton, owned by William H. Dawson, broke
owing to the high pressure Of water on Friday
night last week, causing a damage to repair
which will cost several thousand dollars.
All the water in the dam ran out leaving bare
field of fully sixty acres. Since the closing
down Of the mill once operated at this place
by the Mccullough Iron Company, the dam
was not used for water power, but as park
by Joseph McNeal and Thomas Smith for fill
ing their ice houses. The property-Thi
water shed was allowed to get in bad repair,
and the end came on Thursday night.
Whether i. will be rebuilt not is not yet known,
and il not the icemen who harvested from it
will be put to considerable inconvenience.
Many carp and eels were caught at the place
after the water had run out of the dam.

II the people would only stop this
free silver howl long enough to think
a moment, and help get protection
and reciprocity in working order so
that our factories would open up and
business begin to hustle, our thou
sands and thousands of idle men put
to work (and consume the farmers
produce), they would find the true
source to better times, better wages,
and better prices for American pro-
ducts, instead of the fictitious source
through the free and unlimited coin
age of 5O-cent dollars. Put all these
tramps and idle men to work and see
how quick prices will come up on
commodities. One man will consume
five times as much when he is work
ing as he will when he is idle and out
of money. Note what a difference
one or two hundred thousand men
would make. Protection will make |
the times better, and not free silver.
