As is well known, this vessel was finally destroyed by the convul. slons of the pack, and only Melville with his boats crew, and two men from De Longs boat, ever returned.
 Nansen further contended thateer- tam drift. material, picked up on the southwest coast of Greenland came rom the Jeannette by drifting over the pole, down the SpitzDergen current be- tween that island and Greenland. and passing around Cape Farewell into Baf- fin's bay. These relies were never fden- titled, and their genuineness was dis. trusted by Melville, the man most com potent to judge. who made an unayail. Ing effort to secure their Identification Nansen further declined to believe that such relics could come there by the we'll known southerly drift from the Arctic ocean to Baffin's bay, or through the various channels of the Parry archi- pelago. Calculating the drift of these relics at two nautical miles a day, Nan sen believed that by putting his yes sel into the sta to the northWard of the New Siberian Islands, in the place where the Jeannette sank. he too would drift over the pole ard enter the North At lantic between Iceland and Greenland. He was provided with staneh whale boats, with which he would be able to save his party in case of the loss of the "Fram.''
 Abandoning the idea of entering the ice at Behring strait, he sailed from Norway June 24, 1893, with 9 men, Proyisioned for five years, and entered the Kara sea through the straits south of Nova Zembla. He intended to visit the Yalmal peninsula and take the ice either at the most northerly point of Asia, or from the Siberian islands. The last letter from him was dated at Char aboYa, Yugor strait, August ?, 1893, just as he entered Kara sea. He did not visit 4almal peninsula, nor the New Siberian isiands,where supplies have been cached for his use by Baron Non Toll. The Fran" was last seen i'll the north of the Kara sea, at the end of August, 1892,
 The question arises, what have been the experiences of the "Fram?" Onecan speak either from known experiences

The community includes many resi- dents who have means. Several of tue colony directors are mon worth S50,000 each, and it is estimated that the vet eran soldiers who will come here draw from Uncle Sam's treasury over $500. 900 annually, all of which will be invested here. Beggars are unknown. The men are thrifty, enterprising westerners, willing to work hard and live simply. Some of the older ones were pioneers in the northwest, and are accustomed to the harClships of life of new country As you walk through the streets. the conspicuous absence of loafers, tramps and the like, is noticeable.
 No sale of liquor is allowed, and a drunken man is n rarity One Sunday q Georgia farmer filled himself with "apple-jack" and rode over to the place in cowboy style, with pistols in each boot The cowboy police officer pulled him off his horse, disarmed him and turned him over to one of the directors, who told him they were always glad to see their peighbors, but advised him to make his next visit when he was sober He was then escorted out of the place and has never returned.
 There is not much style in the town as yet. Often you may see man ham, mering or saving away on his new home who pulls out $150 gold watch to time himself and who has q bank ac- count of $5,00o or S10000 Plenty of money is to be had. but very little small change; in fact, five and ten-dollar bills are more abundant there than silver dollars.
 But at Fitzgerald is found only por- ton of the colony life. Already the farming community has made begin ming, and here and there the visitor drives into clearing of ten or twenty acres where a neat little home has been erected and q bright woman from the west greets him at the threshold. Her husband is just back of the house, she says; and there you find him. working on garden from which he expects to make enough by the sale of early veg etables this year to pay for the land he has bought.

in this quarter or on lnterences drawn from the physical condition of the Si- bcrian sea. As is we'll known, this ocean is very shallow, and as Mir. Melville has pointed out, it's physical conditions are such as to prevent the presence of mighty permanent ocean currents, which otherwise might be expected to eventually carry the Tram" into the Atlantic or Pacific ocean, by one of the debouching straits.
 In this quarter we have the experi- ences of the Jeannette in the Siberian ocean, of the Dimjphana in Kara sea and of the Tegetthoff, in Nova Zembla sea; all indicate that the drift of the ice foe depends almost entirely upon the wind, which consequently makes the experiences of one year no criterion for another.
 On one side of the Arctic ocean ex- ist the bold, abrupt coasts of Nova Zem- bla, Franz Josef Land, Spitzbergen and Greenland, washed by deep seas, while on the other are the low, shelving shores of Siberia and Alaska laved by shallow waters. Again the paleocrys- tic fioebergs of Smith Sound and Banks Land indicate very clearly the existence of an ice-clad land of very considerable extent near the north pole. Essential conditions for the formation of foebergs are extended areas, moderate elevations with slop. ing shores extending far into the ocean.
 There is such polar ice-cap she'd ding it's floebergs into the Arctic ocean, and it's locality must be nearer to Si- beria than to the mountainous regions above mentioned.
 The Tram will never return. but, like it's hundreds of predecessors, will emphasize the fact that the Siberian pack never gives up ship that is once firmly in it's grasp. However, the es- caping crew, led by such dauntless, hardy and resourceful man as Nansen. may find it possible to reach Nova Zem- hla. Franz Josef Land, or the New Si- herian islands, as chance may have stranded them here or there.

wheeling round the world on bicycle. Now the same journey is to be made with a rig still more remarkable. A couple of enterprising lads in North Da- kota actually propose to trot round the earth with team of dogs. Eight big, handsome, welI-trained Newfoundlands are to draw them every step of the way except, of course, where it is neces- sary to cross the ocean. They will hard ly be able to make the trip in so days, like the hero of Jules Verne's story, but they will probably have experiences quite as interesting as his-and theirs will be not fiction, but fact.
 The dogs have been already pro- cured. and six of them are shown in the accompanying picture, made from a photograph furnished by the boys themselves. Only six will be put in harness at one time; the other two will run behind as a reserve force, to take the places Of any that become lame or exhausted. Six months have been spent in training these fine fellows, and they are as obedient as horses and almost as strong. The lightest weighs 130 pounds, the heaviest ITO; and on an ordinary road they can easily make 40 or 50 miles day, drawing their burden. Horses

 These boys certainly have the full courage of their convictions. They start without cent in their pockets; and that is condition of things from which the bravest may well shrink. They do not mean, however, to permanently ig- nore the advice of Iago; they hope to put money in their purse" as they go along. They will put their outfit on exhibition in the various towns through which they pass-for a consideration, of course. And really. it will be sight worth seeing especially after the grand circuit has been completed. They also expect to earn something by advertise ing various business houses along the way. c. KAE.

Why do so many people keep telling us that the age of adventure is past? They ought to know better. l don't be- lieve that any previous period ever gave so many opportunities for curious and exciting adventures as the present; and believe that the taste for adventure was never stronger. It isn't confined to the men, either; our boys go as far and as fast as anybody.

interest, that polar work would con- tinue. Since then, Nansen has crossed the inland ice-cap of Greenland; WeH- man first of all Americans entered the ice to the north of spitzbergen; the Englishman, Jackson, having trayersed the Siberian tundras, now occupies a station on Franz-Josef land; and Peary, in three expeditions, has twice crossed Greenland.
 Besides these efforts to unveil the mysteries of the unknown Arctic re-

gions, is another which has most forci- bly, engaged the public attention. It is that of Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, young Norwegian of B years, who came into public notice by being the first to cross Greenland. With self-reliance strengthened by his experience and successful ice-cap work in Greenland, Dr. Nansen projected an Arctic voyage ot unusual difficulty and danger. As he had successfully reversed the order of things in Greenland by crossing from the east to the west coast-in region where all journeys had been at- tempted from the west to the east so in his new expedition be reversed all rules followed by his predecessors. The principles of Arctic ship nayiga- tion, outlined by Parry so years ago, have never been departed from with out serious danger or destruction; these rules look to the avoidance of 5esetment in the iee-paek, and to the following of open channels along the protecting lee of extensive land masses.
 The most able and most experienced engineer of Arctic fame, George w.. Melville, United States navy, distinctly announces that if a vessel made of solid steel could be made to float, she c4ild not withstand the pressure of colEicting ice-tloes without being bent and twisted out of shape. However re- markable this statement may seem to the Inexperienced it is indorsed by every man of extensive experience or observation in Arctic voyaging.
 In face of these principles and state ments, Nansen decided to avoid the land, to put his ship into the pack, and with this object constructed the 'Fram," believing that by its peculiar Construction it would withstand the Heissitudes of besetment. Further, ne selected route, most desperate of all, through the Siberian ocean.
 Prof. Dall has pointed out that over ioO whaling vessels have been besct n the ice of this sea, and of these no man has ever returned 10 tell the tale, nor has any bit of recognizable drift tnerefrom ever fallen to the observa aon of any Arctic voyager.

LOFE IN TOWN.

They had no partinss IN the wood,
No meetings in the lonely lane;
Beside the sea they never stood.
Nor watched the sunset after rain.
Their pathway was the busy street.
Their trysting place the Office stair,
And yet know joy more complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
And why should rustic love alone
BE decked with all poetic art?
These dull. gray city walks have known
The beating of Il nations heart
The weary workers come and go.
The secret OF each soul is dumb
Yet still Mt times n radiant glow
Across their wayworn lives may come.
And these, my happy lovers, knew
Hard toll. small wages and humble fare
The skies they saw were never blue.
But love made gladncss everywhere.
Hts step upon the Office floor
Was sweet to her Us robins song;
Her face that passed the open door
For him made sunshine all day long.
