BARON TOLLS ARCTIC WORK
The Explorer is Win,erinE Near the
Lem Delta.


1t was not expected that anything
more would be heard from the expedition
of Baron Won Toll till the fall of next
year. lie has been abe, however, to
send dispatch up the Lena river t.
1akutsk, whence it was forwarded by
telegraph to st. Petersburg. The dis
patch announces briefly that he has cs-
tablished his winter quarters on the coast
of Asia near the Lena delta. has opened
meteorological station at Kotelnoi, one
OF the New Siberian Islands, and that
last summer he reached latitude "a de-
grees 81 minutes north. The latitude he
attained is specially significant in view Of
the purpose he had in view.
The main purpose of Baron Won Tolls
Land. which has been seen at a distance,
but never visited. Many photographers
long declined to indicate this land on
their maps because they thought the evil
dcnce of its existence was not reliable
1t was first seen by the Yakutsk mer-
chant, jacob Sannikoff. While on the
New Siberia islands in 1911 he saw on a
clear summer day. from the northern is
land of the group, the coast line of this
hitherto unknown land. No one saw it
again until Baron Won Toll, standing ON
Kote.noi island Of the same group, in
1856, was rewarded with a distant view
of it. Since that photographers have not
hesitated to indicate this land on their
maps.
Baron Won Toll specially desired to ex-
pIOre this region because he believed that
Sannikoff Land might be a part of an
archipelago to which the De Long is
lands, discovered by the unfortunate
Jeanette expedition, also belong He
thought it probable that he might find an
archipelago of important extent. though
it was not likely that it would include
any islands of very large size.

THE HENS, STRIKE.

Where are the hens, the faithful hens.
That daily used to lay
The shells In which the food we liked
Was neatly slowed away!
What have we done to give offense
To these long patient fowls
That they should go on strike and cause
Among us groans and Scowlsg
We used to hear their songs of joy,
Ihclf cackling long and loud,
When they beheld the little spheres
Of which they were so proud.
But now their songs are few and short,
For only now and then
We hear the oid-time notes of pride
From some still loyal hen.
And eggs. Well, they now come so high
Ihey re nearly out of sight
of every man who wants to soothe
An humble appetite.
In fact, so dear have they become
Ihat they are Injuries
Just suited for a millionaire
with palate hard to please.
There's mourning in the restaurant,
:, Within the home there's grief.
For eggs. have gone up at rate
That challenges belief.
And what Is worse, we cannot tell
How high they yet will rise.
Or whether we shall e'er again
The inside scrutiniZe.
If we've offended any hen
That ever laid an egg
Down on our knees we'll promptly drop.
And pardon humbly beg.
And il they're striking for more feed
Wen furnish 1t by kegs;
Indeed. well give them anything
For more and cheaper eggs.

WOMAN SAVES TRAIN
Her Cool Nerve at Trying Moment
Prevents Disaster.
Assisted in Her Heroic EROrl by .
Telephone and "A Man with IA
BicycIe-HOw She Found
the Danger.

A San Rafael (Cal) correspondent
writes that the cool nerve of plucky
woman and the speed of man riding
for life on a bicycle was all that saved
| the Ukah express, bound from Ukiah
to TburOn on the line of the Califor-
| MIA Northwestern railway, from de-
struction late the other afternoon.
Mira. James Cochrane, wife of a we'll
known San Rafael attorney, was the
heroine of the incident, and TO her
courage scores Of passengers on the
endangered train owe their lives.
On that afternoon a storm of wind
swept over San Rafael. Near the out
skirts of town and close TO the resi-
dence of Mrs. Cochrane a huge euca-
IyPtus tree, fully 100 feet in height,
and two feet in diameter in it's thickest
part, was blown over so that the heavy
portion Of its trunk lay squarely across
the tracks of the California North
western railway. Shortly after five
o'clock Mrs. Cochrane, with team of
horses, started on a drive into the
country. She passed close TO the track
in her carriage and saw the big tree
| lying across the rails. Suddenly the
| thought struck her that the Ukiah ex-
press was about due. She looked at
her watch and it read $40 o'clock. A
feeling of dread passed over her as she
realized that the quick moving train
with its long string of passenger ears
was due at 5:15 o'clock.

to flag the train. Then the full peril

tree had fallen just at the end of

hill. At the beginning Of the curve the
track emerged from a tunnel. and it
was evident that the engineer in his

cab would not be aware of his danger
until he was right upon it.
Mrs. Cochrane confesses that she
grew sick with fear and the thought
came To her that the engineer emerg-
ing suddenly from the tunnel would
not understand her signal till too late.
Then she remembered the telephone,
and. turning back ran over the rough
ground toward the house. where line
was installed. Once she stumbled. but
the distance was short and in less than
two minutes she was ringing for the
