the Advance in Rensselaer, harbor; or
where, at Cape Sabine, the wreck of the
Greedy expedition was saved from fate
which had already overtaken several
members of the party; "Redcliffe," the
winter home of the Peary expedition of
'o1-92, was situated on approximately
latitude n degrees 40 minutes, and
Anniversary Lodge, on Bowdoin bay, on
very nearly the same lines, and there
fore some 40 miles south of the hotel
and post Office of Advent bay, Spitz-
bergen. 1t is difficult to realize that an
appointed hotel should exist at point
the latitudinal position of which is re-
moved only $50 miles from the farthest
point reached by hansen during his late
remarkable arctic venture. Spitz-
bergen, like the north of Greenland,
still remains mo Mans Land" But it
is expected that before long it will be-
come possession of Norway.
The hotel itself is not very preten-
tious so far as looks are concerned. 1t is
but one and half stories high, and has
a diminutive porch at the front. 1t is
built of wood, that being the only sub
stance as well as the warmest to be OBJ
tanned in the arctic regions. Its
timbers are heavy, as they must indeed
be to Withstand the binding storms of
the winter season. Inside, it is roomy
and generally contains provisions
enough to guard against being showed
up for a long time. The mail which
goes to and from the little post Office
is conveyed by special messenger to the
northern terminus of the steamship
service, which connects with the So
totes islands. The intermediate passage
is not as perilous, especially during the
summer months, as might be imagined.
In fact, in that region the ice breaks
and leaves the landscape comparatively
clear during July and August, so that
the effete summer tourist may make an
arctic trip with little if any more dis
comfort than he would have in going to
Europe.
Provisions are brought to the hotel in
the same way, and 1t may, for the
reason that there is always good sup
ply on hand, come to be viewed as 4
haven of safety by future arctic explor-
ers who fail to make connections with
the pole. At any rate it is unique of its
kind and certainly stands without
parallel as an objective point for tour.

vout that he talked necessarily OF
Scriptural doings, and especially of the
rite of baptism.
He was a star representative of the
product of Africa. The ace of spades
would blush because of its whiteness
as compared with his carboniferous
hue. His lips measured q couple OF
inches vertically, and his wool was as
white as he proclaimed that souls must
be in order to escape the wrath to
come. His voice could drown the notes
of calliope. But Rev. Peter professed
to think not at all of his appearance,
nor accomplishments.
He was interested in one theme, had
a soul purpose, the conversion of the
unregenerate world to his view of the
ordinance of baptism. At last the old
man left his farm to the crows and went
to Callsville to hold street meetings.
At the close of one of these meetings
he met darby who did not agree with
his Interpretation of the Scriptures,
and actually had the temerity to differ
with him on the methods of baptism.
Rev. Peter discussed the subject heat
eddy for time, then used ON all-power-
full argument He knocked the man
down. This not only prevented the bold
disputant from arguing any more, but
from breathing as well.
And so it came about that Rev. Peter

MOST NORTHERN HOTEL.
Summer Resort That Lies Within
the Arctic Circle.
Five Hundred Miles North of the
Town of Hammerfest - Not Very
Pretentious, But Comfortable
Unique I'm Its, Line.

The most northern hotel in the world
and probably the coolest resort to be
found anywhere during the summer
months is situated on the inhospitable
and ice-bound shore of Advent bay,
where it washes the west coast of
Spitzbergen. 1t is an odd-looking
northwestern edifice, called in the YER
nacular -Turist hythen" = that is,
Tourist hotel. 1t has been opened for
its first season this year, season nee
essarily short in the arctic regions,
extending from July 10 to August Is.
Its accommodations include 80 beds,
and it is now announced that the great
increase of tourist travel to the gate
of the arctic regions has made the
establishment of post Office in the
hotel necessary feature. The hotel
is situated in an approximate latitude
of rs degrees Is minutes north.
Persons who have made the cruise Of
the Norwegian waters for the purpose
of delighting in the mysteries of the
midnight sun, and who have fondly
imagined that in the town of Hammer
fest, situated somewhat south of the
list parallel of north latitude, they met
with the last stage of civilization, as
far as civilization is represented by no.
tel life, will now find that they were
not quite so far out of the world as they
thought they were. This little hotel
is 500 miles farther north than Ham
merfest. Some idea of its extreme
northern situation can be gained when
it is stated that even the quarters of
the present Jackson-Harmsworth ex-
petition in Franz-Josephland are hard
ly $50 miles nearer to the pole. Com
pared with other high northern points
which have in one way or another be-
come prominent, the ones which most
forcibly suggest themselves are those
which have been associated with the
various arctic expeditions.
Thus, says the Washington Star, the
hotel and post Office occupy nearly the
same latitudinal position as where, on
the west coast of Greenland, Kane lost
