All the uproar was raised for the pur-

fears that unless this ex-member Of

Is anybody deceived By such clamor?

The Herald has no fault to find with
Sheets personally. IL must insist
though, that from the moment ne be-

Boston Cor. New York JournaLe
The disappearance OF the iceberg is
being discussed by the captains of the
vessels at this port, who are unable TO
account for the fact that SO few OF
them are encountered.
The latest pilot chart of the North
Atlantic shows only three icebergs in
the path Of ocean liners. these being
between 40 and 80 degrees west longi-
tude and 40 and As degrees north lati-
tude
Why there are so few icebergs this
year and for the last five years in fact.
is one OF the mysteries OF nature or. AT
least, none OF the old sailors at I
wharf. who are supposed 10 know as
much about icebergs as any one, seems
to give any good reason.
But that captains do not always have
this immunity from danger is shown
IN the North Atlantic chart for July
and August. 1897.
In the first named month there were
at least a score OF hergs punched in
the line OF ocean travel between a. and
u degrees longitude and as low as II
degrees north latitude
Also north Of the steamship routes
there were bergs scattered in great
numbers all through that region, while
one line extended al the way along the
Newfoundland coast, as If a dozen ice
bergs were chasing one another down
the Atlantic.
Persons who have been spending the
summer at New England seaside re-
sorts have a theory that ieebergs have
been submerged all along the coast dur
ing the last few months and have seri-
ously interfered with the sale of bath
ing suits.
The explanation Of the scarcity seems
/ 20 be that the icebergs had not an OPP
poFtunity 10 thaw ont and become de-
tached from the great ice foes in the
north.

ANOTHER POLAR FAILURE.

A MOTHER DASH for the pole has
Il been placed in the column OF It's
predecessors. the only column in which
IL has been thus far necessary to re-
cord the work OF arctic explorers IL
Is a long column OF failures, attended
with disasters OF greater or less ex-
tent. The Peary expedition, according
10 .he reports Of its leader. cost a
number Of lives, but made most In
portant scientific discoveries"
Let us see what these discoveries
were. Lieutenant Peary's official re-
port SAYS they consisted OF numerous
specimens Of natural history, bear,
reindeer musk-ox and walrus skins.
The skeleton Of a twO-hOrned narwhal.
Z. rare arctic specimen; also living
pecimens OF musk-ox. walrus, arctic
hare and Eskimo dog are on board.
In addition, the expedition recovered
scientific instruments and other arti-
cles that had been abandoned by pre-
yious explorers,
Those are he net results of vast
expenditure OF time and money, Of the
sacrificing Of human lives and OF the
endurance Of fearful hardships. Peary
reached a point farther north than the
Baldwin, legler expedition, but he
didn't approach the pole as closely as
Nansen or the Duke Of AbrezzL And
IL he had reached the pole and hgura-
lively nailed the American dag 10 II.
Il is difficult 20 see how the world
would have been better on. The ac-
csmplishment Of the life purpose OF
Peary. Baldwin and other hardy men
win open no new markets 20 the COM
merce Of the world: II viii not reveal
any territory which civilized men. or
indeed. any men whatever, can make
10 bloom and blossom.
And. viewed from the sentimental
standpoint. there is little in these
dashes TO the pole to commend them
to the average citizens There are no
reports Of distress TO be relieved, no
people are waiting 10 be Christianized
and civilized. The arctic explorer is a
hardy individual who takes his life in
his hands, and, while We may admire
his bravery. we must condemn his
judgment The Individual who jumps
from a high bridge possesses a certain
kind OF bravery; so does the man who
goes through the rapids of Niagara in
barrel. but most Of US are inclined
10 look upon such bravery as foolhardi-
ness.
Yet the men who Jump from bridges
and who shoot the rapids are doing
just about as much for the advance
ment OF civilization as the arctic ex-
plorer The Herald would not give one
of the many little inventions for max
ing life more worth living for any arc
tic expedition that has yet Travelled
over polar ice. The telephone, the tele-
graph. chloroform. discoveries of dis
ease germs and baeiln, a thousand
things that might be mentioned. are
vastly more Important 10 the welfare
OF the universe than a hundred north
poles.

young drayman who, when a FIRE

worked, caught up all the chemical
bottles, bulbs. buckets. etc, within
reach and succeeded by his own ef-
forts in putting out the flames before
the firemen arrived in response 10 the
alarm that had been given. A day or
two later, loading his wagon in the

him for the service he had rendered.
