the undertaking. The chief reason as
cribed is that the ice breaker will not
be able to carry coal enough for the
voyage, and an attending collier will
not be able to go far enough north to
be of service to her. Lord Brassey. the
English naval expert, is inclined to the
belief that the Yermak will ultimately
be successful in the undertaking set for
her. His opinion is based solely on
what she has already done.
In this splendid attack the. Canadian
party will be led by Captain ernier, a
seafaring man from his youth. who has
made the study of arctic exploration
the hobby of his life. His preference is
for a steel ship. and he estimates the
cost of his expedition at about 100000.
Captain Bernier,s first objective point
will be the New Siberian islands. The
first winter quarters Of the crew will
be 500 miles from the pole. Then Ber-
nler expects to advance slowly, to be
carried to the pole by the gradual drift
OF the ice in which his vessel will be-
come imbedded He expects to reach
the pole only during the third summer
OF his expedition.
The Duke of Abruzzi. first cousin Of
the king OF Italy. and Fridjof hansen,
the Norwegian, will together lead an
expedition into the frozen north. All
the world will watch them. for each
isalready eminent in this line. The duke.
in his ship. the Stella Polare. arrived
within PAL miles OF the pole, nearerthan
did any previous explorer and % miles
nearer than Nansen had gone. Pre-
sumably the Abruzzi-Nansen company
will start in the race OF the nations by
way OF Franz-Josef Land over the sue
cessfui route already followed by the
duke.

tails have yet been made public. 1t is
very certain that characteristic leu
ton thoroughness will make Of IT a
/, worthy exponent Of the nation which
has produced many men of note In sci
entific research. The Germans have
not been very prominent in investiga-
tons of the vast arctic expanse, and a
new era In the policy of the country
will be marked by the sending Of this
rival expedition

The tests given the Yermak were of
nature calculated to demonstrate just
what possibilities her scheme of con-
struction contained. The Yermak was
COMPLETED in March. 1899, and was i'm
Elediately put at work. April Of that
year she smashed into the ice Of the
gulf of Finland, freed six vessels that
had been held fast for long time and
brought them back. to ST. Petersburg.
Three days after she found % other
vessels imprisoned behind an ice bank.

ships free, while little later she at

The performances surprised and de-
lighted the Russian naval officers, and
Admiral Makaroff was congratulated
and told that all he had to do was to
set sail for the pole, and its discovery
would be his The admiral was pleas
ed. but not unduly elated, and simply
said that he would require more trials
before he would be satisfied. So In

sian are entered in the race and will
vie with each other in the extent
of their magnetic, meteorological and
Oceanographical observations. Besides
these new expeditions, Peary. the
American; Sverdrup. a Swede, and a
German American explorer, Stein, are
already inside the arctic circle with
Andree, the boldest of them all, If he
is still alive.
Evelyn r. Baldwin OF the United
States weather bureau, the leader OF
the American expedition, who is back
ed by the millionaire baking pow
der manufacturer. William Zeigler, is
now in London. Ee is here for the
purpose of inspecting ships and to con-
fer with various experts on polaric con-
ditions and affairs. Mr.. Baldwin will
start northward during the latter part
of next summer, and he says he has
decided to proceed by the Franz-Josef
Land route, the Greenland route being
covered by Peary and Sverdrup- Bald
win has had much experience in arctic
exploration, and this. coupled with
youth, hardlhood, hope, determination
and almost unlimited financial support,
will make a combination hard to excel.
He was with Lieutenant Peary In 1893
and 1894. Three years later he hurried
to Spitzbergen, hoping to go with the
adventurous Andree on his balloon
voyage But Baldwin returned disap-
pointed. There was no room In the
wicker car which carried Andree and
his two companions into the unknown
Baldwin then worked out a plan Of his
own for the finding of the pole, and 1t
is generally believed that he is figuring
on including with his vessels accouter-
ment a gigantic balloon.

THE DARK AND BRIGHT SIDE.

Now that the dark side OF the
recent tragedy of the boiler explc-
sion has nearly blown away we
want to say o word of the living
and of the bright side, lfthere can
be bright side in such tragedy
The bright side of this affair is in
the noble women who took part
in caring for the wounded. and are
caring for them yet.
When the noise of the explosion
came everyone who could rushed
to the scene, some to see the cause,
some to render what assistance
they could in this case of dire ne
cessity. This motley crowd was
made up ofmen, women and child
rem. Among this crowd were two
men, blinded by hot cinders and
scalded with hot water aud steam,
cropping and feeling their way.
The women gave them wide berth
In the fear that it was not proper
and correct to give aid to a wound
ed men because, perhaps they had
never "been introduced The
men all seemed to be intent on
seeing how much the old engine
was hurt and just how it happened.
and couldn't see the suffering men
around them. Among this crowd
was one woman who saw the twoI
men blinded by burning clnders
and scalded by hot water and
steam cropping and feeling their
way. She took in the situation
at once and took one in each hand
leading them toward DR.. Stinson's
home, the only place she knew.
When only part way one man
showed signs of fainting and she
said: 81 don't know where to take |
you, or what to do" just then
another woman's voice spoke and |
said, "Bring them in here" and
the two men were taken into the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
White, and Mrs. White and Miss.
White, sister, threw the house
open to them and became nurses
and the two men, the Davis broth
ers, are still there receiving all
the care they wonld under the
hand of their own mother.
The woman who first found them
in such distress was Mrs. Wolfing-
ton, a woman who has been among
us for only a short time, but in
this one transaction has shown
that her heart is in the right place,
and that she has within her the
Landerness and love for suffering
humanity that makes woman the
noblest work of the Almighty.
Mrs. Wellington is trained nurse,
and while she says she has no
nerves, she has the tender tOnch,

her invaluable as a nurse, and
