The way explorers will prove that
they have reached the North Pole is
explained by one of them, as follows:
Il will take a bullet and suspend it
from a string. The bullet will cast Il
shadow. In our latitude the bullet
would, in a days time, describe an ell
lipse. At the North Pole the shadow
would make a perfect circle. l will
photograph the shadow throughout the
day. OF course it will be necessary to
bring back only an arc, or part of a
circle. AS a day at the pole is six
months long 1T would be practically
impossible to get Il picture of a per-
feet circle. Any part of it, however,
would be enough 10 convince Il Scient-
list that l had reached the North Pole"

cisco to, the port of St. Michael:

a fairly good but very crowded
steamer And thence up a rugged,
mountainous country, with numer-
Gus streams to be forded, takes
twenty to twenty-five days more of
hard travel on foot, such as very
few are able to endure. And vet
there are hundreds and thousands
ready to start off, willing to take
the chances, with any accommoda-
tons, and to pay any price that
may be charged. No doubt there
is gold there, perhaps in abundance
if one is lucky enough to find it,
but the fatigue, discomforts, risk
of health, and risk of finding only
stones and rocks, on arrival there
do not deter these argonauts.
Some no doubt will succeed and
manage to secure fortunes in some
way or other, but it is only one IN
a thousand. that proves to be the
lucky man. Still the crowd are
willing to take risks, and off they

able situations. 1t is singular that
these new gold fields are on the
boundary line between Canada and
Alaska, (the Hist degree of longi-
tude). But this so far has not
made any trouble, although to
reach the mines, travellers have to
cross and recross the boundary
several time in going to and re-
turning from the Klondyke gold
fields. The same remark refers
to the Kootenay gold fields in Brit
ish Columbia. These rich depo-
sits lie on both sides of the bound
airy dividing British Columbia
from the State of Washington
along the 10th parallel of latitude.
SO far, there have been no disputes
as to claims crossing the line, but
police are stationed along it. In
Alaska there will, no doubt, be
much suffering to the pioneers who
rush into these cold and inhospita-
bic wastes, at present fit neither for
man or beast to live in.

Protection for Seals.

The intimation from London that
representatives of the United States,
Great Britain, Russia and Japan will
meet in conference at Washington dur
ing the coming fall to consider the
question of protection for the seal
herds of Behring Sea is of the utmost
Importance. 1t signifies that this Gov
eminent has finally pursuaded Great
Britain to reopen the question which
she has insisted should be regarded as
definitely closed by the decree of the
Paris conference. and it will enable
the authorities at Washington to DEM
onstrate what they have earnestly con-
tended, namely, that. the present meas
ures of protecting the seals are grossly
insufficient. In thus opening the way
for reconsideration of this perplexing
international difficulty Ambassador
Hay has made an suspicious beginning
of his diplomatic career, and we do
not doubt that the final results of his
efforts in that direction will be equally
creditable to both Governments-New
York Mail and Express.

The funny man. of a city news
paper was recently assigned to
write up the market reports and
he produced the following.
Butter is strong at twelve cents
and able TO hold It's own: yeast
cakes are rising rapidly; bananas
are slipping along at the same old
price, with an occasional drop;
watermelons are going down more
rapidly than they were a week ago;
cheese is lively and stirring: syrups
are sticking at the former price
and are about pint more to the
quart than last winter; apples are
growing more plentiful since school
has commenced; dried apples are
swelling the market; chickens are
picking up little.
