On THE coast of Iceland a drifting

was thrown from Andree's bal
loon July II, 1897, three days
seven hours and fifty minutes after
the balloon started on it's journey to
the north. The explorers were then
in 81 degrees north latitude, 25 east
longitude, bit farther to the north
than had ever been reached in that
part of the world. Some time ago the
remains of what was supposed to be

Henderson the only Western candi-

JACOB GOULD sCHURrAN.

The Philippine peace commission
is still working to bring about a
satisfactory settlement of the differ
ences between the insurgents and the
United States, and it is hoped that
their efforts will soon be crowned
with success. DR.. Jacob Gould
Schurman, who is president of the
commission, is high authority on
international law. He is diplomat.
orator, statesman and scholar. He
believes in arbitration, and thinks it
should be the soul of our foreign
policy. As president of Cornell
University he has taken rank among
the first of American educators. He
became president of Cornell seven
years ago, being the third president
of that institution.
DIR. SchurmaU was born IS years
ago, at Freeport, Prince Edward
Island, and is descended materially
from English stock and paternally
from the Dutch Schurmans, of New
Rochelle, N. Y. He was educated in
the great universities of Europe, took
the chair of philosophy at Cornell
in 1886. and was made dean of the
newly established school of philoso-
ply in 1890. He is the author of
number of books which are widely
read. His associates on the peace
commission will find his counsel and
advice very valuable.
