The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-04-18

to head the expedition that will at
tempt to reach the pole in the way he
sets forth.
Capt Bernier discusses his project
as follows:
I'm 1881 the Jeanette was crushed in
the north of the archipelago of New
Siberia, after a delay Of two years In
crossing the icy ocean of Siberia. -Four
years later the crushed boat was dis
covered beneath the ice near Julien
nehaal in the neighborhood of the
southwestern extremity of Greenland.
1t is certain that the floating mass
could not have arrived in this locality
by traversing the polar basin. But by
what route then? Evidently it must
have descended Smiths straits. In this
narrow entrance the polar current runs
close to the shores Of Baffin and Labra-
dor carrying everything af1oat to the
American and not to the Greenland
side The ice-mass could not have
reached Juliennehaal unless 1t was car
ried by the great polar current which
flows to the south the length of the
eastern side of Greenland, and it must,
after doubling Cape Farewell, have
turned northward again by Davis
straits. This cannot be doubted.
"Pausing now to understand the
route the floating mass took, we see 1t
must have come by New Siberia to
Eastern Greenland. 1t seems reason
able to suppose that the f1otsam, hav-
ing been driven against the northwest
could only traverse the icy ocean Of
Siberia by the current which flows in
this direction, and which, after having
passed to the north of FranZ-Joseph
land and Spitzbergen, probably in the
neighborhood of the pole, came thus
Of To GrpQnlq
and was carried to the south by the
polar current of this region.
I'm the actual state Of our hydro
graphic knowledge this is without
doubt the only plausible itinerary.
From the isles of New Siberia to Juli-
ennehaal the distance by the route in
dicated is not greater than 1000 nau-
teal miles Ghe nautical mile contains
$3.50 feet) This passage Of fiotsam
having been effected in 1000 days it
must have progressed about twenty
one miles in "a hours. Other cases of
floating masses, less broken than that
of the debris of the jeanette, confirms
the theory of the efflux Of the Siberian
waters against the eastern shore of
Greenland. One, for example, picked
up on this shore wooden whale lance
like those made by the Eskimos of
Behring strait. Most of the floating
wood picked up on the Greenland coast
comes from the northern part of the
continent of Asia. Among twenty
five chips collected by the German
arctic expedition of Koldewey, seven
teen were known to have come from
Siberia.
This is not all The examination
of the mud collected in 1883 on the
shores of Greenland revealed the most
significant facts. This mud contained
specimens of not less than twenty min
erals. This varied composition DR..

A WORD OF WARNING.
Regarding the Water You Use Just
MT This Time of the Year.

In these days there is such a universal In
terest in the water we drink that anything
bearing upon the subject is eagerly read by
the public. at is evident" says New York
Medical Journal, that the necessity of using
absolutely pure drinking water cannot be-
come too strongly impressed on the public
mind, but water in that condition is provided
by very few communities. Where such water
cannot be obtained, the ordinary drinking
water, If the least suspicion attaches to 1t,
should be boiled before using. Precautions
should be taken at all times of the year.
There are few ordinary drinking waters
that do not contain traces of impure matter
and poisonous germs, invisible to the naked
eye. If these enter the system at favorable
time disease will ensue Boiling and freezing
1t has been shown, often fail to destroy these
dangerous foes to health. 1t Is known, how
ever, that the addition Of a little pure spirit
to contaminated water will render 1t perfectly
harmless. 1t is recommended that pure whis-
key be used for this purpose. The one abso-
lutely pure medicinal whskey known to the
world is Dufy's Pure Malt. Scientists admit
this, doctors confirm 1t, and the public has
proven It. There Is no difficulty in counteract-
ing the poisons in drinking water If this pure
whiskey is used. Care should be observed
however. to secure Duffy's, 1t is pure
medicinal whiskey, and will accomplish what
you desire.

Dr. F. Nansen Men Dogs syg DAYS aSo Miles, eas;
Eve will pass the winter at Peter
man Land, and at the first favorable
moment, probably in the middle of
February. or the beginning of March,
we will start with enough dogs and
reindeer to carry our provisions. in
order not to be obliged to return. The
reindeer have the great advantage of
being possible of conversion into food
for men and dogs.
ITO follow this itinerary, the expedi-
ton will be composed of a chief, a geo.
logical surveyor, a physician, six
chosen men, and a Lapp to care for
the dogs and reindeer We would en-
deavor to follow our route to the pole
by making our APO miles In about 100
days. We would return by a. route
which would allow us to reach Spitz-
bergen, which is 600 miles from the
pole. We would then have favorable
current Of two miles per day, and I
am of the opinion that this VOYAGE
could be made in from 140 to $50 days.
We would reach the Danish island
from whence Andree started in his
balloon in the autumn. We would find
on this island a depot Of provisions
which had been carried there in adj
vance in view Of our return at this
time. We should pass the winter here.
for the excursion boats only call there
at long intervals and in the warm
season. The advantage which this
itinerary possesses is that it would per-
NIT us to explore Peterman Land. of
which a glimpse was had by the ex-
plorer Payers, who afterwards discoy-
cred Franz-Joseph Land. We would
be able also to explore the isles north
Of this archipelago
1.-THE first itinerary I have outlined is
preferable from the point of view Of
succeeding in the project of which the
chief end ia to reach the North pole.
by adopting either Of these two
plans I am absolutely certain Of the
success Of my expedition.

COAL CoNTRABAND OF WAR.
A Different Interpretation Put Uuon
England's Declaration.


WASHINGTON April 1.-THE ac-
ton OF Great Britain in declaring coal
to be contraband Of war, as reported
from Jamaica, is said to have a sig
nlficance different from that attached
to it in the dispatches
AS explained in a high Diplomatic
quarter, such an order would not pre-
vent vessel Of either Spain or the
United States from taking coal at
Kingston or any other port in the West
Indies. Even when this article is con-
traband, 1T is said to be usual to per-
NIT vessel of belligerent power to
take aboard sufficient coal to carry her
to the next port. Once out of the port.
however, the vessel takes her chances
with her cOntraband cargo, and it is
liable to seizure as contraband of
war while en- route to a port Of the bel
lgerent power.
Applying this rule to the present
case 1t Is said that if a Spanish shin
went to Kingston for coal she would
be able to carry supply sufficient to
carry her to Porto Rico or Cuba. When
once away from Kingston however, the
vessel and her cargo would be subjecI
to seizure by United States ships. The
same rule, it is said, would apply in
case ship of Great Britain or any
other country were engaged in carving
such a contraband article. The flag
would protect the ship as a whole, but
1t would not protect the contraband ar
ticle on board. the ship being subject
to search and to seizure Of the contra
band articles.
The rule would apply equally, it is
said, to ships taking coal in Kingston
for the use Of United States naval yes
sells. In effect, however, the rule would
be applicable mainly to Spain, as the
United States naval vessels need not
look to the British West Indies for their
coel supply, whereas Spanish vessels
| would rely upon them as we'll as other
West Indian ports for such supplies
