yellow Polarisnl-

The two great lights of scientific Arctic
exploration. Nansen and Peary, are
modest men after their kind. They are
not without records, which, however, they
do not use after the manner of theatrical
posters. The former has been up in the
mysterious polar regions as high as
eighty-six degrees north latitude. The
second has contributed to the sum of
human knowledge great many new and
valuable facts relating to the extent
topography and the northern boundaries
of Greenland.
When either of these genuine explorers
starts out on a new quest he does not
inform a shivering world that he is going
to discover the Pole. He only announces
that he Will push as far as possible in a
given direction, and attempt to solve
some important problem of currents, the
existence OF open water at certain seasons
or permanently, the extent of ice foes
in given quarters. and things of that sort.
Incidentally, he acknowledges with re-
serve that if conditions. favor he will
move as far toward the Mecca of all
Arctic exploration as Providence and
Nature viii permit him. But that is the
true self-sinking scientific spirit
1t is different when the chromo-litho-
graphic fire of yellow polarism seizes upon
the soul of a personally conducted news
paper man. His departure for the realm
of white bears and whales blubber is like
the noise of many boiler shops, and the
humility of his prospectus is on the same
quiet plane. Thus one Wellman, whose
claim to icy honors rests upon a visit
some time ago to a Norwegian island,
where nothing happened to him but a
mild case of frozen cheek. is heralded as
having sailed from the insUlar port of
Tromsoe, Norway, bent upon adventures
and achievements of the most Jules Yer
nesque description. His first object, we
are told, is to find the missing Prof. An

Hawaii, Nature and Dosberr,

AT last man has arisen in a public
place and given a reason why Hawaii
should not be annexed to the United
States. This statesman, one William
Nathaniel Roach by name. advances
the proposition that the islands would
prove poor investment, as they are
liable-at any time-to be swallowed up
by an earthquake
We find, upon reference to the Con-
gressional Directory, that Mr.. Roach
is a senator in Congress from the State
Of North Dakota. In the autobiogra-
ply which he contributes TO this official
publication, he describes himself as an
agriculturist, but it is sufficiently obyi-

much study to geology. 1t was prob

none the less the duty of the American
Congress to carefully guard against anv

The enterprise is a commendable one

have been humbled into surrender and
the war would have been over by this
