POLAR EXPLORATION.

The most important areas of the globe which
still remain to be explored are the regions
around the two Poles At the same time. the
complete scientific investigation of these regions
is of singular moment. inasmuch their phys
zeal conditions are so peculiar, so unlike those
Of all other portions of the earth, that the
knowledge OF them is Indispensable to a com
plete understanding of the laws which govern
the majority (and these the most importantly of
the physical phenomena of the planets surface.
As example one may mention the determining
influence exercised by the Polar regions. with
their intense refrigeration. upon the circulation
of the atmosphere and of the sea-matters which
most intimately affect the environment of our
daily life. 1t is. therefore, no more than natural
that the scientific world should every day call
more and more loudly for the complete lnNest-
cation of these regions. 1t is mistake
to suppose that the chief end of Arctic lnVesu-
cation is the mere attainment of high latltudeS
! the reaching Of the Pole itself. If II should
be reached it doubt VIII be before long.
we must indeed admit that a point has been
scored, and even an important point. since as
a matter of fact. so many wishes have centred
upon it and so many sacrifices nave been made
for it: but it must at the same time be rerneTn-
bered that the most important portion of the
problems of Arctic research will still remain 10
be solved. and will not cease TO lay claim upon
efforts so long as scientific investigation
exists.
In our age of avarce and greed when the
nations stand armed to the teeth to fight for
mower and pelf. and one begins to have doubts
as to the moral progress of humanity it seems
like a ray of light to see men setting sail for
higher goals Let u.s. then, wish them godspeed
on their several quests in Brownng's words:
Greet the unseen with cheer!

SANITARY TENEMEN1S.
Good Dwellings benefit Not. Only the
Health hut the Morals of
the Poor.

There is no agency in, the world that
has a greater influence upon the well
fare Of the people than the one which
directly affects their health and social
environment. Experience shows that
improvements in the dwellings Of the
poor have had a decided influence upon
the character of the inmates. Under
existing conditions, providing better
habitatiozs for the poorer working
classes seems to be a proper subject
for the consideration of state and mu-
nicipal governments. The first and
most important step is the enactment
OF proper sanitary and building laws
and the Inauguration of thorough
system Of tenement house inspection.
Second in importance is the expropri-
alton Of property in the crowded dis
tricts. Another step. which is common
in European countries. is the encour-
agement OF model tenement enter
prises by granting them special favors.
such as reducing the tax rates. ceding
land. granting subsidies and making
loans at a low rate Of interest. Lastly,

New York has the best sanitary code
and the best organized corps Of san
itary inspectors Of any American or
European city. Philadelphia and Chi
cago have in recent years made i'm
provements in their sanitary laws and
ordinances relating to tenement
houses. Existing regulations in Bos-
ton and Brooklyn are fairly compre-
hensire. and their health departments
are well equipped. New York is the
only large American city that has
done anything toward the expropria-
tion of crowded and unsanitary dis
tricts for park purposes. and that only
since 1895. For many years European
cities have turned their attention in
the direction OF making parks, play
grounds and other breathing spaces
where they are most needed. This is
especially true Of the large cities of

The details Of every work, the small
trifling duties, which IN the aggregate
count for much. can be controlled by
us so that they viii occupy their right
ful position in the economy Of nature.
or else they viii control us and make
life unpleasant and dangerous to US.
The person who becomes a slave to de-
tail work has magnified the impor-
tance Of the small things Of life. and
has strained them ont of their natural
proportions. This is probably one Of
the easiest things TO do in household
work. because a clear mind is required
TO keep every duty in its proper place,
says the New York Ledger. When
trifies begin to worry. Il Is pretty evil
dent that we are becoming slaves TO our
environments: the detail work is over
coming the mind and bunting its per-
ception.
This is most clearly illustrated Oh
days when the physical powers are a lit
tie below the normal. Household cares
and duties then seem irks0me in the
extreme. Every little work drags mad
causes mental friction and irritation.
There is no enjoyment in the work; no
ambition TO get through with it: and
