When the new queen of Italy, Hell
ena, came as crown princess to the
court of Rome, says n correspondent
M the New York Press, one of the la
dies of the court attempted to patron
lie her and remarked, "Your royal
hlghness must find court life a great
change" Now, although Montenegro
is but n pocket edition OF count
and Helena's father, the reigning
prince, is as poor as Jobs turkey, the
crown princess remembered that her
family and nation were among the
oldest in Europe, while the kingdom O.,
Italy is n thing of yesterday, and re-
piled:

Eastern Const of Greenland.

Although the eastern coast Of Green
land is much nearer to Europe than
the western, It is really much more In
accessible to explorers, and far less is
known about It. The eastern side Of
that continent is colder than the other.
A small branch Of the gulf stream
flows up the western coast and miti-
gates the severity Of the temperature.
That route to the pole, therefore, has
proved the mos. popular with explor-
ers. Brainerd and Lockwood were
thus enabled to carry the American
flag to above the elghty-thlrd parallel
of latitude. Peary chose this path as
the most promising, and the Norwe-
gian Syerdrup, who followed him up
TO the arctic regions two summers
ago, did likewise.
