Dr. Fansen the great Arctic explorer
after three years absence in search of
the North pole, has returned, having,
as he says gone just little further
than any one of his numerous prede-
cessors. He left his ship to find the
pole on foot on the ice, and had peril
GUS experience, never again seeing the
ship-which strange TO say, soon put in
its appearance after he had safely
reached habitable country. His ship
was made with Stopping bottom, strong
ly braced, & as the ice froze or jammed
it lifted the ship up instead of crushing
it. This is a long step in polar navi-
cation. If a current can be struck
after ship is firmly set up on the ice
that flows to the pole ships can be
floated to it and again out from il.

turn their wits on sheol that poor err

better able to shun it.

ICAN TALK FOR MILES.
WONDERS OF THE LONG-DlS-
TANCE TELEPHONE.
BY the Use of Prof. Bells Invention
Forty Millions of People in the
United States Are Now Within
Speaking Distance of Each Other.
Linked by "A Copper Wire.

by the use of the long gdistance tele-
phone 100000 people are within
speaking distance of each other within
the United States. Science has nothing
more remarkable to offer than this
achievement. When Alexander Gra-
ham Bell sat down at the instrument in
New York and installed the service be-
tween that city and Chicago he had
linked the people together in bond
closer than anything else could have
done. There is satisfaction in writing
to the distant friend. There is comfort
in reading the letters that friend writes.
There is better pleasure in the mes
sage some mutual acquaintance brings
us from that loved one far away.
There is Il resource in the telegraph
when the stroke of trouble or the rush
Of business makes communication i'm
perative. But there is nothing like the
sound of human voice in friendship,
nor the personal spoken assurance of n
business correspondent.
In 1876 Professor Bell exhibited to the
public at the centennial exposition in
Philadelphia his patented telephone in
strument. 1t was the beginning of a
new era. That the human voice could
be projected to a distance seemed one
of the marvels of the age. And it was.
But that modest beginning held small
promise of the astonishing results that
have followed. Yet the beginning was
foreshadowing of a greater occasion;
for If voices could be heard half a mile,
why not ten miles? And if so far, why
not for hundred? 1t is likely there
was Il limit even in speculation. But
that limit has constantly grown until
to-day there is a direct telephone com.
munication between both places
and Pulaski, Tenn, which is far
down toward the Alabama bor-
der. And within this triangle,
between what is for the pres
cnt the limits of the service, there are
means of intercommunication, in every
city and almost every town. And as
the greater portion of the population
of the country lies east of the Rocky
Mountains, it is no cHaggeration to say
that two-thirds of all the people in the
country are within easy speaking dis
tance of each ether

In Il great many business houses there
