known on the face Of the globe How,
then, is il to be utilized?
The plan | have proposed is to fit
out a ship with concentrated provi-
sions and a complete equipment and
send it north in 1895. Up there on the
western coast of Greenland there is
Eskimos. That tribe embraced last
summer some 80 men, women and
children. They are the most nOrther-
ly human beings on the face of the
globe. They have been literally inn
imprisoned in the depth Of the arctic
circle for century after century. Every
man, woman and child in the tribe /
know personally, and they have the
utmost confidence in me. have Civ
en- them tools, knives, wood, guns and
everything Of that sort that would be
useful TO them. II has been wealth
un;maginabIe to them.
Ny plan is to take some Of these peo-
pie on board my ship, with all their
worldly belongings, and transport them
TO Sherard Osborne FJOrd. We shall
land there and the ship will come
back. Then with their dogs and
sledges, we shall transport supplies to
the most northerly land perhaps TO
Cape Washington, perhaps farther.
We shall have the provisions ready for
the spring. When spring comes /
shall start with two or three Eskimos
with their dog teams and sledges and
make direct line across the sea-ice
straight to the pole.
We know to-day that there is land
within $50 miles of the pole. At the
rate Of ten miles a day-whieh can
surely be traveled-to reach the pole
would require thirty-six days
and thirty-six days back, a mat
ter of seventy-two days for the round
trip. have already been away from
my base Of supplies on the Greenland
ice-cap for ninety-six days, so that
such a journey as the one | have out
lined certainly ought not to prove an
impossible One--Golden Hours.

Steering by a Star.

That sailors prefer not to steer by
compass must have struck you as one
curious fact. Here is another. y
steersman can keep his ship better on
her course at night, if 1t be clear. than
during the day. Look ahead, get "a
star, and steady her head by it," SO
says the \ b of the ocean to the sailor
who has not set won his degree. For
to the helmsman the stars are like the
Pillar of fire in Scripture. They are
the hands on the dial of the night.
They twinkle good evening" to poor
Jack as he sits up aloft or stands at the
helm, and wink good morning" and
good by" To him with daylight.
II is obvious that the "to" or "Of"
movement OF vessel can be more
quickly detected by small, bright OBJ
ject like a star dead ahead than by the
monotonous sweep of the horizon, or
by peering into the eompass-box. The
same ancient mariner who told me
about measuring the length Of the Off
and in shore legs by the life OF candles,
told me that once, when the oil in the
binnaele-lamps gave out and he was
steering by star, he occasionally
struck a match and looked at the com
pass ''to see il the star had moved
any,
When the lookout sings out, "Land
hor' and has replied TO the officers
"Waere away star over the rock or
other danger may BE- noted and
brought down in line with the point of
the compass, and its proper bearing
obtained.
''The stars" said sea-cIptain TO
ME, ''move apparently from east to
west, - that when we find our first
star will no longer do, we select an
other. This is the case with all but
the north or pole star, which is in line
with two certain stars in the Great
Bear or Dipper, and the orbit is so
small that it is good guide for the
night, and We can even detect errors Of
the compass by it.n
The north star is, of course, as true
as, or even truer than the most accu-
rate compass. To the "Other things"
that sailors steer by the compass is,
however, what steam is to electricity.
To produce an electric light you re-
quire a dynamo; to run the dynamo
you need steam. IO may feel the
wind on your moist brow or hand; but
the direction from which it blows you
can-except in the case of the regular
trade winds, or unless you are up in
sea-lore-tell only from the compass.
Then by sailing close to the wind you
can keep on that course without look
ing at the compass
But sailors naturally have large ac-
emulation of weather-lOse; and in adj
dition in the 'trades" there are, ex-
cept in ease of violent storms, certain
regularities in the winds in certain
parts of the ocean, and certain other
recurring signs, which the helmsman
can utilize and which often enable him
to dispense with the compass alto
gether. For instance, if in standing
south to round the Horn, you see the
"Magellanic Clouds" bright patches
in the Milky Way directly above the
ship, change your course for the Straits

]. w. FRANCIS ACQUITTED
The Case Preferred Against Him by
Tom Reeves Falls Through

Deputy County Assessor John w.
Francis was acquitted yesterday before
Justice Morrison on the charge Of bat
tering Tom Reeves in the county court
house several weeks ago. Bad feeling
had existed between tho mon for long
time Reeves claimed that Francis had
exsrted his authority as assessor to
value his property greatly above that
Of his neighbors. Hot words were ex-
changed, which resulted in fistio en-
counter when the two men met in the
courthouse. Reeves came out second
best and resorted to a battery complaint
against Francis.
In his defense Francis claimed that
Reeves started the fight by calling him
a liar and striking at him. He then
simply did the best he could" under the
circumstances. He was partially cor
roborated by witness who heard some
Of the preliminary conversation and as
honors seemed pretty near even he was
DISCHARGED.

STOLE A WATCH
A Boarder Robs His Landlady and
Fersorts the Theft to the Police

G. W. Smith was arrested yesterday
morning by Detectives Hawley and Au-
BILE on a charge Of petty larceny. He is
accused Of stealing gold watch and

The sweetest woman in the world becomes
terror when

home loving men;
When soap and wet and slop and steam and
dire confusion reign,
And to the god of cleanliness she dedicates
her brain
IT'S then man feels that marriage NAV a dire.
fu failure be.
And in his secret soul. perhaps, he wishes he
were free.
She tears the carpets up with vim, and
wields the lusty brush;
The cat puts up her fuzzy back and vacates
with rush
The dog, with tail half m asst, skulls out and
hides himself away;
He knows the racket she is will last for
many day;
The sage old spiders save their lives bv flee
ing o the cracks,
And all the flies that wiutered through fall
prone upon their backs.
All your old coats and easy shoes, and hats
that fit your head,
The magazine you've just looked through,
and circulars unread,
She sells for Junk" and when you ask,
with mild and pensve air,
Where they have gone. she looks at you-and
echo answers Where ?"
And though you should get mad and swear,
1t wouldn't change her plan;
She won't have such old rubbish round
Just like shiftless mani"
And then she pins her gown up front, deter
mined in her mein,
Which says that, though the heavens do fall,
she shall go on and clean!
Cold rooms, cold dinners, chilly beds cold
sofas. ce-cold chairs
A smell of varnish everywhere tacks on the
slippery stairs!
Wet rugs wayay you at each turn cold
winds run riot through
The empty halls she's airing off, her nose
CONCEALED and blue!
She skins her knuckles, tears her nails, her
head and body ache,
But she is happy, for she knows her house
would take the cake!"
No nook or corner has escaped stern order
settles DER
That domcile, from attic down to clean
swept cellar floor.
And though that woman's almost dead, her
forehead is serene,
Because she knows, let come what may, that
house of hers is clean!

patent medicines, the barrels OF socalled
home remedies, such as teas, decoctons,
infusions and other monstrosties, swal-
lowed by the American people were
ascertaincd, collated, arranged and pub

reader dumb with establishment.
