start. In such cases no amount Of per-
suasicn or argument on the part of the
racers friends or hackers can induce
the man to start in that race.
Urged to give reason his answer
always is that he has an underlined
feeling that he. had better stay olltaof
that raee-and stay out he invariably
does. The real reason, however, is
that the man is actually afraid to enter
the race. His feelings are as nearly
like the "blue funk of the school boy

his guardian angeP' causes this feel
ing as sort of warning. Be this as it
may. the fact remains undisputed that

NANsEN,s THROWING STICK.

Its Discovery Led Him to His Fruitless
journey in Search OF the Pole. X =:t
1t is not generally known that among
the facts which induced DR.. Nansen to
undertake his expedition to the north
pole was the discovery of a little piece
Of wood called the throwing stick !
Prof. j. Murdoch explains what a
throwing stick is, and how it led
DR.. Nansen to believe that there was a
steady current flowing across the pole.
He defined throwing stick" to be a
,contrivance for casting a javelin or
harpoon, which is employed by various
savage races, such as the Australians,
some South American tribes, and es-
specially, by the Eskimos.. TT
The patterns of different countries
differ from one another, so that a con-.
snoisseur can say whether a particular
stick, .belongssto Greenland. or Hud-
son bay or Alaska In 1886 a curator
of a Norwegian scientific society found
a throwing stick among the drift
wood at Godthaab, Greenland differ
ent from those used in Greenland, but
similar to those used in Alaska, and
practically Identical with implements
employed by natives living near Be-
ring strait The discoverer. Dr. Ring,
set himself the work of finding out
how it had reached Godthaab. It was
evident that it had not drifted by way
Of the Northwest passage, for that way
is barred by such a network of islands
that the stick would undoubtedly have
stranded long before it reached Green
land -. Z
The only reasonab BILE explanation he
could give was thatz@the stick must
have drifted with the current that sets
north through Berfng straft into the
Arctic ocean. On the north of the
strait the current moves steadily west
ward. There the stick must have met
the current that sweeps down between
Iceland and Greenland, and then
turned northward again around Cape
Farewell. This theory appealed to Dr.
Nansen, and ultimately led him to form
his adventurous, plan of trusting his
little vessel to the current which he
believed would carry him over the pole
