When the troop lined UP he was the

No Colds In tho ArctIos.

Nanscn and his men during the three
years which they spent in the Arctic
regions never caught q cold. Yet they
were exposed to cold. fatigue and we.
to a degree which we at home cnn
hardly realize, says writer in the
Spectator. Especially one remembers
how Nnnsen and his comrale johann
sen during their wonderful expedition
on foot over the polar Ice won't on, day
after day, clad in clothes which were
SO saturated with pcrspiration that
they froZc by day into one mass Of
solid Ice, and even cut into the flesh;
how every night, when they tucked
themselves up In their sleeping bags.
the first hour was spent in tllnwing;
how they lay shiycring, their frozen
socks spread across their chests, until!
their clothes actually became wet ana
soft, and eventually comfortable ana
warm. Yet they never caught Il cold
and, mark this, for it is yety import
mt, with the exception Of Nansen's
brief attack Of lumbago, their health
did not suffer in any way from the ex.
posurc. Directly they reached ciyIliza-
ton they all caught cold. Nansen's
own statement to the writer was:
"Therc Is, OF course, no doubt that
cold Is an infectious disease. We had
none during our journey, nnl we all
got 1t very badly, tooD Mt The very

The Negro Problem.

The November number Of the
Atlantic Monthly contains a
notable article by the foremost
Negro in America, Booker T..
Washing ofTuslSegee, Ala. The
writer boldly discusses the
whole question Of the Negro fu-
ture in the United States. He
clearly shows the utter imprac-
ticability Of deporting the Ne
groes to some other part Of the
world. He approves heartily
the educational and property
restriction for suffrage in the
Southern States, but urges that
when the Negro has the educa-
tion or other wise qualifications
for voting, he be allowed to
vote. He deplores the patent
fact that the Negro has voted
against the Southern wliite man,
and urges a change. The elo-
quent writer and clear thinker
believes chat the antag onisr& be-
twee-l the Southern white man
and the negro has been the work
Of scheming and selfish North
ern politicians, and the meaner
"scalawags' Of the South.
Booker T.. Washington by his
voice and pen has attained /,
commanding position in Ameri-
ca, and unlike many representa-
tivcs of his race, he makes that
influence felt for the white peo-
pie among whom he lives.

SOME QUEER FRlENDsHlP
fDinerone Animals That GSt Along very
Well With Each other.


Well With Each Other.
An intimate connection subslsting
between different animals is known
as commensalism, cOmmes1ls being
creatures which may bo said to sit ut
TIC same table, but which &c not prey
upon ono another. Or late years nat
urnlists hayo become acquainted with
numerous examples Of this form Of
animal partnership In one Of the
Chicken Islands, Off tho coast Of New
Zealand, curious lizard known as
the tuatura, and certain species Of the
pctrels were found inhabiting the
snmo burrows, apparently on tue best
or terms. In rare cases the DurrOw,
which consists Of passage two or
three feet long, one foot broad and six
inches high, Is the work of the bird.
AS II rule, however, the lizard is the
cxcavator. Zach builds its nest on
opposite sides Of the chamber, the
lizard almost Invariably choosing the
left and tho petrol tho right side. The
lizard feeds partly OH worms and bee
ties and partly on tho remnants OF
fishes brought to their common table
by tho petrol, both animals being thus
benefited by the partnership. This is
probably more than can be said OF the

snake and the burrowing owl. These
were Mt one time supposed to form q

doubt has been cast on the point by
the discovery Of young prairie dogs in
the stomach Of the rattlcsnakc, which
seems to Indicate that commcnsalsm
IN this particular case has been q one
sided affair, SO far rs the benefits
were concerned.
1t is among marine animals, how
ever, that tho most striking examples
OF commcnsalism have been observed
a feeble fish called the rcmorn owes
Its success in life to the powerful alli-
ances 1T forms. One Of its fins have
been transformed into sucker placed
right on top Of it's head, by means OF
which it attaches itself firmly to any
passing shark, whale, or even ship, no
doubt mistaking tho latter for some
hugo sea monster. BY these it is
transported without any cxertlon on
Its own part over great distances
meanwhile picking up such food as
may come in its way.
Several small fishes have been found
also to habitually lodge in the mouth

such food as the latter succeeds In

A Legal Decision.

The Glucose Refining Com
pany Of Illinois, having COM
pelled tho smaller refineries to
shut down within a radius of
1900 miles Of Chicago, was
prosecuted for violation Of the
Anti Trust law Of the State.
Glucose SO largely used in trade,
can only be manufactured
proftably within the corn belt,
all of which lies within 1000
miles around Chicago, and this
closing up Of all refineries ex-
cept the one company meant q
monopoly Of the worst kind.
The illinois Supreme Court
rendered a sweeping decision
against this trust holding that
it's action was q "total restraint
Of trade void not only by stat
ute but by common law" The
court held: "The material con-
sideration in the case Of such a
combination is, as a general
thing, not that prices are raised,
but that it rests in the power
and discretion Of the trust OF
corporation taking all the plants
Of several corporations to raise
prices at any time it sees fit to
do so.'' This decision Of the
illinois Supreme Court has
made q profound impression
throughout the United States,
and it's far reaching influence
upon the legal status of hel
trusts is generally acknow-
lodged.

The Emierant,s Fortune.

An estimate has been made Of tho
average amount Of money which Eu.
ropean emigrants take with them to
America. From this it appears that the
first place IS held by the German, who
takes over just ten guineas with him,
While the second place belongs to tho
Englishmnn, with about Fix shillings
less. Tho third Is the Frcnchman, who
has nine guineas. and he is followed
by the Belgian with just over 60, while
the lrlshman's capital Is G3, the Rus.

this is all changed. The hand aud bas

belt system, and tho spike belt system
