be the gunboat Nicksburg, the converted
yacht Frohc and the tugboats Wompa-

in response to the request of Rear Ad-
miral Remey for small vessels to do pa-
troll duty in the Philippines. They will
be examined this week by a board of in.
spection and il their condition il salts
factory orders TO -ail will be issued al

Commander Rohrer will be the senior
officer. He and his ship are at Hampton
roads, which is the rendezvous, and the
other vessels will join the Annapolis in a
week. The cruise will be one Of the most
interesting in the history of the naval
service. Vessels of the size of the Won
patuck, the Piscataqua and the Frollc
have never made so long journey.
The Annapolis and the Nicksburg are
of 1000 tons displacement. They use sail
as well as steam. The Piscataqua, form
erly the w. II. Brown, is an ocean going
tug of 63l tons, for which the government
paid Sl50,0O0 at the outbreak of the re-
cent war. She carries battery Of six
rapid fire guns.
The Wompatuck is also an ocean going
tug of 462 tons and was known as the
Atlas before the government paid $500
for her in 1898. She carries two rapid
| fire guns, and made name for herself
adring the war by her work in the cable
cutting expeditions off Santiago and
Guantanamo.
The Frolic is a craft of 807 tons, and
was formerly the pleasure yacht Co.
manche, owned by II. NJ. Hanna, brother
of Senator Hanna. When the government
bought her she was in Lake Erie and she
was brought down and fitted with a bat
terry of four rapid fire guns.
With the exception of the Wompatuck
these vessels are at the rendezvous or on
their way there.
1t is understood the gunboat Topeka,
now at Naples, will join the mosquito
fleet in the Mediterranean.

Little known Tobaccos.

Among the little known tobaccos Of
the world are those of Manchuria and
Mount Lebanon. Manchuria tobacco is
said to be highly priced throughout
China, while the local consumption is
enormous. Travellers say that the iu-
habitants of Mlnchuria, both men and
women, begin to smoke from the age of
s or 8, and continue the practice to the
end of their lives.
The tobacco Of Mount Lebanon is
that which finds most favor among de-
vout Arabs. Travellers in that part of
the world describe it as being exceed
ingly mild and fragrant. The dealers
who follow the hajj to Mecca and Me-
dina always supply themselves abund
antly with Lebanon tobacco before
starting out, and no booty is so vel
come to the Bedouin robbers of the
desert as cargo of this weed.

Prof. T. B. r. Briggs of Philadelphia,
makes the broad statement that modern
education fails to educate, and that the
results now obtained are not as good as
those achieved by pupils when the lat
ter were forced to commit to memory
Latin grammar before attempting trans
lation. Prof. Briggs fails to take certain
conditions into account. Formerly there
were fewer pupils in the public schools
and fewer studies. The personality OF
the teacher counted for more. The
teacher Of former day was not turned
out on model found in normal schools.
He had individuality. The pupils had
are vastly different nowadays. The
schools are crowded and the scholars
are educated in punches along certain
arbitrary lines. The teacher has no
opportunity to take into account the
differences in his pupils as to mind and
temperament. There are too many
studies The school is place given up
largely to recitation, while the home is
used for study of the lessons. Yet,
despite all this, there has been progress.
The great weakness of modern educa-
ton, as it seems to us, is it's fatal uni
formity In the colleges this has been
cured by the adoption Of selected
studies and courses, but in the grades
and in the high schools the weakness
remains. Some pupils are to go through
high school and others through the uni
versities. Others still are withdrawn af-
ter passing through the grades. Kansas
City has provided for those who are to
take high-school courses by having two
high schools-one of the classical
course, for those who are to 60 to col
lege; another, called the Manual Train
ing High School, which provides a sci
entific course, as preparatory to prac-
teal life or to a course in polytechnics.
And this latter distinction also runs
through the older classes in the grades.
Modern educational methods are far
from perfect, but it is easy to show
that the school of to-day is far in adj
vance of the old system of learning by
heart

DR.. Parkhurst is not wholly accurate
when he asserts that newspapers in
this country are run purely as Dusl-
ness enterprise to make money. 1t Is
true that there are many Instances
where newspaper owners fondly en-
deavor to make their newspaper prop
critics pay, but without invidious dis
tinctions, we call to mind several OF
our most esteemed contemporaries VINO
proudly rise above such mercenary con-
siderations. And there was the late
Marcus DAILY, who never thought OF
money while publishing the news. Ana
Senator Clark, who supported journal
ism with lavish hand. And Senator
Pettigrew, who never counted the cost
Of his journalistic enterprises. AND
we presume that at one time or an0th-
er two-thirds of the members OF the
Senate and the House have cheerfully
engaged in Journalism without
thought of the burden Of expense
Knowing all this, we feel that we may
safely rebuke Mr.. Parkhurst for his ill
considered words and for his unjust
fling at our noble profession. We have
already in New York and Chicago sew
eral newspapers which we might call
endowed newspapers" but we suspect
that even Dr. Parkhurst himself would
not point to them as models Of journal
istic excellence. It appears to have
been proved that "endowing" news
paper does not necessarily assure it's
power for good or lessen it's power for
evil.

Search for South Pole.
PROVED TO BE FoRGERIEs.

Tanagra Figurines in the Boston Mu-
seum Are Base limitations.
The discovery that twenty-five of the
twenty eight Tanagra igurines in the
Boston art museum are forgeries has
and art critics, largely because the Bos-
ton figurines were the best specimens
of the peculiar Tanagra potteries in this
country and have been widely copied,
cheap limitations of some of them being
found in the shop of almost every
dealer in art goods and bric-a-brac.
The collection has been valued at $780,
600 and was given to the museum in
1879 by Thomas Appleton, whose au-
thority on art subjects was SO great
that the genuineness Of his gift was
never questioned. 1t is not believed
that Mr.. Appleton knew that the fig
urines were forgeries, as the museum
judges at the Louvre, at Berlin and
New York were also deceived by forged
figurines made by the same persons
who are now known to have faxed the
Appleton pieces.
The first intimation that the Boston
fgurines We're forgeries was the state
ment of John Marshall, an English au-
thority, that he believed them to be
spurious Later Greek shopkeeper
from New York told the museum an
thorities that the figurines were part
OF q lot made In Athens In 1874, and
that he knew the maker. He produced
proof that fifteen Of the men engaged
IN the manufacture Of the fictitious fig-
ures we're now y prison for the offanse.

1S99-1900 found the magnetic south pole
and reached the highest southern latl-
tude so far, 70 degrees so minutes; at 100
degrees west longitude, where Ross in
1912 found land which is probably con-
tinental mass; at ITO degrees west longi-
tude Cook, 1874; at so degrees west
longitude, where the Belgian expedition
under De Gerlache, during the winter Of
1898-1899 drifted beyond Il degrees 80
minutes south latitude; at 30 degrees
west longitude, where Weddell penetrat-
ed to "a degrees 80 minutes south lati-
tude, and finally at 15 degrees west longi-
tude Cross, 1843). The enormous extent
of the unknown south polar region can
best be illustrated if it's limits are trans
ferred to map of the north polar region.
1t will then be found that. the boundary
would include Norway, Siberia and North
America down to 65 degrees north lati-
tude, taking in the entire northern half Of
Alaska.
Thibet Still a Mystery.
For the completion Of the map. of the
Asiatic continent the researches Of the
nineteenth century have established new
and exact bases, yet there are still small
er and larger regions which are entirely
unknown. Much remains to be done in
Thibet, despite the successes Of Russian,
English and French travellers and Indian
surveyors. This is particularly the case
Of the land north of the route Of Main
Singh (1874-1S75), south of the Kwenlun
and west Of the route of the journey of
De Rims in 1893. North of the Kwen-
lun and of the routes Of Prschewalski
and Hedin, stretching to the Tarulc,
are extensive unknown deserts. The
eastern half of the Himalayas is known
only in incomplete outlines. The highest
peaks of the earth in this region have
been measured by trigonometry from the
fats of the Gauges river, but their bases
nor their tops have not been reached,
Unknown in the sense of modern re-
search is also the territory east of Blu
tan across the Tsargpo, Bramaputra, and
the Yang tse- Kang. In the southern
part Of Arabia is the so-called ssyacant
quarter as will be seen from glance
at the map, an area more than twice the
extent Of the German Empire

this continent is almost exclusively the
result Of work in the nineteenth century.
But there is still much darkness In regard
to this continent, and the classic ques-
ton Quid Eovi ex Africa? will probably
be repeated for many years. A territory
little known is between the Niger in the
south, the chain Of oasis of the Tidikelt
in the north, the route Of LEM in the
west, and the routes of Barth and Du-
veyriers in the east. Much remains to be
done in the Congo State. Here the
courses of the larger rivers have been
surveyed, but the vast territory between
the water courses is unknown. Hard
work for courageous travellers also is re-
CURED to explore the region Of the
sources Of the Congo and the adjoining
part of British central Africa, Portuguese
west Africa and British east Africa. The
south Of Madagascar is also unknown.
1t may be surprising to many people
that explorers have wide range Of work
in North America, yet a glance at the
black spots on the chart will show this
to be the fact. Researches in the far
Northwest and in Alaska, caused by the
gold finds, only begin to show how much
remains to be done here, despite the en-
ergy WIN WHICH Tie government OF the
United States and of Canada push sur
veys year after year. Much territory
in Labrador and in the regions between
the great rivers and lakes of the North
is also still unexplored.
Much in South America.
A glance at the chart Of South America
shows that this part of the western hemi-
sphere is almost as unknown as Dark
est Africa" OF the Andes in Peru, the
peaks in Bolivia, and the central noun
tain chains in the south of Venezuela
and Guiana nothing is known. A large
number Of rivers have been explored
within the last twenty years, but others
SKI are waiting for the courageous trav-
eler.
OF Australia, Anthem Land in the
north and the extensive deserts In the
east of West Australia are unknown.
and the north and south Of South Austria
liza have only been crossed by few routes
at great distances from each other.
The face Of the earth is known In great
outlines, but to portray it in it's detailed
features is still impossible.
