When Peary practically outlined the
northern coast OF Greenland early in
the last decade, geographers began TO
think they had overlooked an import

and so they placed Greenland at the

Baffin Land looms up as an island
1905 statute miles In length. with a
breadth varying from 200 10 500 miles,
the average being 305 miles. Its area
is, therefore. about 100000 square
miles. In other words, the island is
larger than the state OF Texas by
about 10000 square miles, or about
ten times as large as either Scotland
or Ireland. Although II takes It's
place as second in the list OF islands,
Baffin Land appears TO be OF no great
value. since II is composed, as far as
we know OF barren rocks, partly COW

vomiting. and at $3.50 o'clock the ply

Gen. Garheld was nhot AT b'dV CLOCK
in the morning Of Saturday. July 2,
1881. in the ladies' waiting-room OF the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad In
Washington. while he was walking
arm In arm with James q. Blaine He
vas taken first TO a private room In
the station and thence removed TO the
White House. He had been shot twice,
first in the right arm, Just below the
shoulder, and the second and fatal
time in the back. Just above the right
hip and near the kidney. The sur
geons who were hastily summoned
probed for the bullet without success
but announced that its course had been
downward and forward into the groin,
and that the wound was serious but
not likely TO be fatal. The wound in
the arm did not amount to much, save
for the pain II caused The President
retained consciousness. and when he
reached the White House he dictated q
telegram to Mrs. Garfield, who was at
Elberon. When he was shot down he
was on his way to meet her in Jersey
City, whence with some members OF
his cabinet he was to make a trip into
New England.

might be good, but feared would be
bad. All that the doctors could do
was to try TO keep the patients

were all ready for instant operation

appear TO be getting well, but suddenly
the blood might come into contact

then the patient would die. The oper-
