THROUGH ARCTIC ICE.
An Explorer of the North proposea a
New Method of Reaching the
North Pole.

Admiral Makaroff, the well-known
explorer OF the North Pacific, has late
~ made the proposal to reach the
north pole by means of powerful ice
breakers. The proposal sounds rather
strange at first, but the Russian adj
mral bases it on sound scientific -ea-
son:ng and on a good deal of actual ex-
perence.
Icebrealers have been used in Russia
Cat CronstadD since 1864, and lately
great progress was achieved in their
construction in America by arming
such vessels with two screws at the
stern and third one at the stem. The
American icebreaker, Ste. Marie, $500
horse power, easily sails through ice
two and one-half feet thick, and pierces
ice walls is feet high. Still more pow
erful icebreakers have lately been
built in America, and in this country
(England) for the Trans-Siberian rail-
way and the Port of Nlad:vostok. TAX
ing into account that, according 10
Nansen, the ice wallis (toroses) in the
Arctic basin seldom attain the height
of 25 feet and that the polar area is
free from ice over at least one-third of
it's surface, while all the ice is weak
ened in summer by thawing, and es-
pecially by interior canals, due to ac-
cumulations of salt, and by crevces,
Admiral Mallaroff concludes that an
icebreaking steamer of 10000 horse
power would overcome all the d ;fficul-
ties which polar ice may oppose to her
progress.
The distance between the latitude Of
Is degrees north to the pole being go
miles, he calculates the various speeds
atwhich such asteamer could make her
way through the ice of various thick
nesses from four to seven feet, and he
finds that the total distance could be
covered in ~ days. Moreover, instead
of one icebreaker of 10000 horsepower,
it would be advantageous to have two
such vessels of 10000 horsepower each,
it having lately been proved by actua,
experiment in Russia that two ice
breakers, placed one behind the other,
and the rear one pushing the front one
by means of a special wooden frame,
act as effectively as one single ice
breaker of a double force. Admiral
N1akaroff's proposal is, therefore, to
build two special icebreakers of 5000
tons and 10000 horsepower each, pro
vided with stem screws, and. 10 force a
way through the ice to the pole.-Na-

Lincoln and Douglas. When it was de.
cided in 1882 to locate the capitol at
central point in the state many towns
fought for the location.
\ village called Illiopolis, on the out
skirts OF Springfield, occupied the exact
geographical center of the state and
made a gallant fight for the capitol.
But when the question came up for ac-
tion in the legislature Sangamon coun-
,y was represented by remarkable
delegation, which favored Springfield.
The two senators We're Archie G. Hern-
don and Job Fletcher, and the seven
representatives were Abraham Lincoln,
Ninian w. Edwards, John Dawson, An
drew Mccormick, Dan Stone, William
E. Elkin ard Robert L. Wilson.
The combined height of these nine
men, says the Chicago Tribune, was
exactly 81 feet, and they became famous
as THE Long Nine By trading" and
shrewd diplomacy they succeeded in
having Springfield chosen as the state
capital. Illiopolis died, and there is
now good farm on the site Of the vii
lage. The locating act donated $4,000
towards the erection of the statehouse,
and the citizens of Springfield were re-
quired to subscribe like sum. 1t was
big contract for the village of LOO
inhabitants, and in the next legislature
Stephen A. Douglas offered bill re-
leasing the town from it's obligation.
But Abraham Lincoln opposed the bill
and insisted, for the honor of Sanga-
mon county, that the sum be paid in
three equal installments. One hundred
and one citizens signed note for the
payment of the final installment, and
the obligation was wiped out.

PRINCE AMONG DOGS.
He Is a Pure St. Bernard and His
Home Is in Chicago.
His Weight Is 24o Pounds md Care
fnlly-Prepared Figures Give an
Idea OF His Enormous Shells
OF Noble Ancestry.

There is little doubt that the largest
dog in the world, OF perhaps that has
ever existed, is now resident of Chi
cago He is ST. Bernard and his name
is Simon Lomond. Simon is not very
widely known outside of his own par
ticular circle of acquaintances, as he
has never been exhibited at a bench
show. He has, however, anexceedingly
blue-blooded pedigree, being eligible
to move in the select gatherings OF Chi
cago's 400
He was whelped October 10, 1893, and
was bred by Mr.. Ostereitch, of Detroit,
Mich, his sire being Scion Lomond, and
his dam Dudley Star-both immensely
large dogs.
To give an idea Of Simon's enormous
size, it may be mentioned that from the
ground to a point between the Shout
ders he measures 50 inches (this is the
standard way OF measuring d'ogs).
Throwing aside the curve over the dog s.
shoulders he measures sc inches flat
from the point of the shoulder to the
ground. From the tipo his nose to the

inches. So it will easily be seen that if
the dog were to lie down crosswise on
the floor of room and stretch his fore
legs forward he could very handily
scratch the Dashboard on one side of
| the room with his claws andia t the same
time knock little dust off the opposite
wall with his tail; at least, he could ac-
co1nplish the feat in great many flats
in Chicago.
His chest measurement (circumfer-
ence of the body just back of the fore
legs) is 46 inches, and his loin measure
ment is Al inches. Around the skull at
| the ears the head measures 80 inches;
the skull, just over the eyes, measures
% inches; his muzzle measurement is
1S inches, and from occiput to tip of
nose his head is 10 inches long. The
head and neck of the dog are so large
and the hair is so long and shaggy that

Emperor Studying medicine.

1t is said that Emperor Menelek, of
Abyssinia, who has for long time
giving great attention to western civili-
cation, has recently turned his interest
to the fitting himself for the work of a
physician. He spends large part of
his time in hospital watching with
keen interest the surgical operations.
The emperor often expresses astonish-
ment at the skill of the surgeons, and is
most pleased when he can be of some
service to them, holding lin b or a roll
OF bandages. He is atpresent planning
to build an immense hospital at Ads
Aheda, the capital of his nation, and
when it is finished he intends to take
the entire control of the surgical de-
partment.

Simon is beautifully marked with the

and reddish tan. By connoisseurs in
dogs this tan is called orange. His

STILL cANNIBALs.
Savage Rites Are Yet Practiced by
the Black Barbnrians of
Hnyti.

A mulattress with a plump baby in
her arms reached Philadelphia on a
sailing vessel from Hayti the other day,
and declared her eager desire to be-
come a resident of the United States.
Itwas necessary for her to get a bond as
guarantee that she wouldinot become a
public charge, and while the incident
formalities were in progress somebody
asked her why she. had come from a
tropical island and her own people to
live among strangers, where the max
ing of a living is task by no means
easy. The woman answered. with an
earnestness that said much for her sim
cerity and some thing for her accuracy,
that she left Hayti because the season
for certain cannibalist:c rites in the
district where she lived was coming on,
and that her child would have been
killed and eaten if she had not left the
country. This horrible charge has
been made against the Haytians many
times and as often denied by them, but
the denials have NOT carried the weight
OF the accusations, and the best author
ities regard it at least as highly prob
able that in parts of the Black Repub
lie .heathenish customs of the most
frightful sort have beenpracticed ever
since the expulsion of the French. The
Haytians are now very close neighbors
of our own, and it remains to be seen
what the consequences of this proxim-
ity will be. The old ISOLATION is sure to
be broken down, business and other re-
lations with Americans are inevitable,
and existing conditions in Hayti may
we'll become as uncomfortable to us as
were those of Cuba under Spanish rule.
Even if cannibalism is a mere sporadic
crime in Hayti, there are other things
there practically worse and morally al
most as bad about which there is no
doubt whatever. The government is
corrupt and sanguinary, and the treat
ment of white foreigners is often
atrocious The HayMans have had
many years in which to develop The
power of self-government, but they re-
main far below the standards of civill-
cation, and harsh critics declare that
they are sinking rather than rising.
Moreover, this island is potentially of
great value. There is a basis for
prophecy in that fact.-N. Y. Times.

The ancient statehouse al Springfield

a storm which during the Crimean war,
November IA, 1854, almost destroyed
the fleets of France and England. AS

Root Mourns Loss

Washington, Dec. 20.-Secretary Root
made the folio wing statement today in
regard to the death of Gen. Lawton.
TT is seldom that a loss can so truly
be called irreparable as in the case of
Gen. Lawtons death, because he not
only possessed the highest soldierly
qualities, but the process of selection
by actual experience had brought about
universal recognition of these qualities
while he was in the full vigor of life,
so that the opportunity for great use
fulness and the highest commands lay
before him. He had not merely the
quality Of courage, but the quality of
command which inspired his troops
with his indomitable will and disregard
of danger.
when the story of his march through
central and northern Luzon in the
autumn of 1899 comes to be written, I
believe the browning achievement of
his life of strenuous and noble service
will be deemed to add lustre to Ameri-
can arms and secure for him an en-
during place as one of the heroic figures
of American history"
