WINTER ON THE HILLS.


What do the city houseiings know
OF Winter hale and boar,
Who crouch beside the back-log's glow,
Behind the battened door?
Not theirs the wonder of the waste
White league on league outrolled:
Not theirs meath spacious skies to taste
The tonic of the cold!
Not theirs the North Winds breath te
breast
Till each vein tingles warm
The while he drives along the west
The horses of the storm!
Not theirs the SHOWS as soft as sleep
That hill and hollow hood;
Nor the oracular silence deep
Within the druid wood!
Not theirs by night, undimmed. to mark
The spangles Of the Bear:
Nor through the dark from arc to arc
The pale auroras flare!
Not theirs to share the proffered part
or wealth he holds in store;
Not theirs to know the constant heart
OF Winter hale and boar!

ON THE WAY TO THE POLE
Something About the Wellman Expe.
dftion and Its Far Northern
Starting-POint.

Mr.. Walter Wellman, leader of the
Wellman polar expedition. writes of his
start northward, dating his letter from
Franz-Josef Land, August 2, 1898:
''Here at Cape Tegetthoff, Franz-Jo-
SET Land, latitude s0.06 degrees north
and longitude IS degrees east from
Greenwich, the Wellman polar expedi-
tion has built-as these words are writ
ten, is living in--the most northerly in
habited house in the world. Harms.
worth house, as our hut is called,
stands just 594 geographical miles from
the pole. There are a number of other
far northern habitations, such as the
Greedy house at Lady Franklin bay,
Grinnell Land; Lieut.. Peary's Anniver-
sary lodge in Greenland; the Pike
house at Danes island, the Nordensk-
jold house at Mossel bay, and the Well
man house at Walden island, Spitz-
bergen. In Franz-Josef Land are the
Leigh Smith house at Bell island, and
the Jackson house at Cape Flora. OF
all these houses of refuge or habitation
which the energy of man has pushed
far within the polar zone, only two
those at Lady Franklin bay and
Walden island, if, indeed, they lire not
now in ruins-are as near the pole as
the modest little structure which we
Americans have erected at what might
be termed the southeast corner of the
unknown region.
Every one of these rude structures
has history involved in the long, ever
continuing story of the fascination
which arctic exploration has for man,
and of the sacrifices and tragedies
which attend its pursuit. From the
Lady Franklin Bay house Gen. Greely
made his heroic but disastrous retreat
to Cape Sabine, where official blunder-
ing at Washington and cowardice
aboard relief ships sacrificed two-fhirds
of his party. From Anniversary lodge
Lieut.. Peary led his gallant party to
indescribable suffering and eventual de-
feat upon the Greenland ice-cap. At
Walden island the Wellman expedition
of 1894 built house from the timbers
of the crushed Ragnvald Jarl. at Cape
Flora, Leigh Smith, cultivated Eng
lishman who has done much for arctic
exploration, saw his ship go to pieces
in the ice, and being unable to reach
his house at Bell island, only IL miles
away. was compelled to winter in
rude hut of stones and earth, the ruins
of which still remain. There, also,
through the generosity of Mr.. Alfred G.
Harmsworth, of London, was estab-
lished the splendid station at which
DR.. Nansen and Lieut.. Johansen had
their dramatic meeting with Mr.. Jack
son as they were retreating from their
lair farther north. At the Pike house
in Spitzbergen, Andree and his two
companions inflated their balloon in
July, 1897, and sailed away Dorthward
on the most picturesque and sensational
voyage of modern times" = Walter
Wellman, in Century.
