I made bold to say to DR.. NanSen
that thousands upon thousands of men
who were not specially interested in
Arctic work had read his book with de-
light, and that to me the marvel was
not that he could do what he did in
the field, but that he could write such
a book about his experiences,
"The best thing in it, to my notion,
I said, 'is your description of your dra-
matte meeting with Jackson on Franz
Josef Land, and the best part of that
was your reference to the manner In
which the wild mans sharpened senses
discovered the fragment of the soap
which the civilized European has used

"It is really true replied DR.. Nan
sen, that 1 could smell the soap as
plainly as if it had been a strong per-
fume Johansen noted the same thing
when he came up. In fact, for sew
eral days our sense of smell was Won
derfully acute. As I approached

wore off, and we became quite normal

RECENT INVENTIONS.

An English inventor has patented a
detachable gas motor for bicycles,
which is attached to the rear part of
the frame and has a piston rod con-
nected to a crank set in the motor
frame which turns a sprocket wheel
and transmits the power to the rear
wheel of the bicycle.
To prevent railroad cars from run
ming out on the main track after being
placed on a switch steel bar is set
across the rail in a slanting position,
with the inner end pivoted in a socket
and the outer end fitted with a loop to
hold it in place over the rail by means
of pin and lock.
The accumulation Of sand and mud
In harbors is prevented by a new ap-
paratus, consisting of an artificial NOV
able bar placed in the stream above
the harbor to intercept the dirt as 1t
washes down and a pumping apparatus
to remove 1t through pipes to a suit
able point of discharge.
In a newly designed coal cart curved
arms are used to support the box, SO
that when 1t is raised from the frame
by means of the gear shaft and crank
it twists around at an angle with the
frame TO discharge the coal, thus allow
ing the wagon to stand close to the
curb while unloading
In a new stair carpet fastener, pat
ented by a Canadian woman, a wire
cone is slipped over the edge of the
carpet with one end Of the wire end
ing in a loop in which the screw is
inserted to hold II in place, the fast
ener being put down first and the car
pet afterward forced into the coil of
the wire cone.
Housekeepers Will appreciate a new
clothesdrier which can be used in the

porting a double row of bars. on which
the clothes are hung, the device being
suspended from the ceiling by a rope
and pulley, so ii can be drawn up
out of the way after the clothes are
hung.
A handy portable elevator for rails
ing packages from wagons to the Sec
ond story of building has support
ing ladder carrying sliding frame,
which is raised and lowered by der
rick mounted under the ladder, an ad-
Unstable platform being mounted on

Gas cannot escape from a new burner
when the light is blown out, the key
having a spring attached to 1t which is

Kennedy, Mimi, had twenty consecutive
hours of snow and rain. Thousands Of
acres of wheat and fax are still in shock,
