In the world of science of the 10Th
century, two subjects Of vast impor-
lance, but widely different import,
have had much attention bestowed on
them. One is the discovery of an al
most certain preventative of hydro
phObia or rabies; the other is attempts
which have been made to discover the
end of the earth, or the north pole, as
we have learned to term il.
The reason | have chosen these two
for comparison is this: Some time
ago an American in Paris wrote to
New York paper ar. account of the ex-
periments made on animals to test the
efficacy of the serum used to inOculate
human beings. The writer expressed
great indignation that such suffering
shuld be permitted among poor dumb
brutes; the monkies dogs. donkies,
cats, rabbits and the rest of the living
subjects appealed largely to his SYM
patby. But when we realize that the
results of these experiments have
saved many men, women and children
from the awful ag0nies of hydropho-
bla we cannot hesitate 70 place our
sYmpath etic interest where it helnnps.

resurrected some more Arctic ltera
ture, and after thinking it over, (and
not being in the least sclentific)
compared the two subj cts which l

this question mentally, of the I'M

or reason has ever been accepted BY
the plain, ordinary mind, for the aw-
full loss of life, money, ships and time
which these Arctic expeditions have
demanded?
1t has been proven beyond the
shadow of doubt, that life cannot
possibly be retained at such tremen-

very little, compared to the loss it has
