ostriche. 4. place OF oranges.

jacksonville, Fla, can no longer
boast Of being the greatest orange
market in the world. Repeated freezes
during recent years have killed the
groves and taken from the city its
greatest pride. In place Of oranges it
offers ostriches, an ostrich farm on
which are nearly 100 birds being in
full operation. 1t has already proven
to be good investment and will be
greatly enlarged. In addition a large
feather curing and curling plant is now
being erected, and before many years
Jacksonville hopes to be able to sup
ply all the ostrich plumes and other
feathers which are demanded :ar the

SUCCESS THUS FAR.
Peary Making Elaborate Prepara-
tions for the Dash for the Pole.
Herbert L. BridGman, CoAManAef 81
the Expedition, Confident That
the Explorer VIII Succeed
In His Undertaking..

Herbert L. Bridgman, commander of
the Peary relief expedition of 1899. who
arrived in Brooklyn the other day, be
lieves that Peary will accomplish his
purpose and reach the pole before his
four years are up.
Mr.. Bridgman said: 81 have in my
possession several reports written by
Lieut.. Peary of his work, but these
am not at liberty to make public"
Of Peary's work Mr.. Bridgman said:
"Peary's results in the first year of the
four allotted to his greatest arctic work
fully reward expectation and justify
confidence. What he has already
achieved removes his undertaking from
the realm of doubt to reasonably GER
tain success. With his knowledge of
all the conditions bearing upon his
work there is scarcely a possibility that
any danger remains for the life, health
and ultimate safety of the party.
THE first year has been spent in Sc
curing dogs and means of transporta-
ton, in practical training in sledging on
the sea ice and in mastering the prob
lens of travelling in darkness and at
the lowest known temperatures under
the worst conditions. Peary has during
the last few months by pick, AK and
powder practically opened a post road
from Cape Sabine to Fort Conger.
Peary will take the field with the first
light of the new year with himself and
all his company, men and dogs, in per-
feet condition from the long, quiet rest
of the winter. His landed stores and
permanent stations give him an incom-
parable advantage when the final test
comes"
Charles Frederick Sylvester, curator
of anatomy in the university, who has
been with the Peary relief party, has ar
rived at Princeton from North Sydney,
Cape Breton. Mr.. Sylvester said the ex-
petition suffered noinconyenience from
the cold. The trip north was rather an
excursion, freighted with an abundance
of real sport in hunting arctic bears,
partridge, duck and foxes.
AS result of the expedition, Prince
tom receives greater supply of scien-
tific material than ever collected from a
like tour. Besides securing the materi-
al OF deep sea dredging, vast amount
of anatomical structure was brought to-
gether. Several new species of animal
life were also found.
