The westward voyage across the
Atlantic has been reduced twenty-six
minutes by the Kron Prinz Wilhelm,
which made the run in three minutes
less than five days and half. Her
average speed was twenty-seven miles

thirty. The Germans deserve high

they work out the best results in

The Jamaica sugar planters again

years, and the Danish islands are on
the road to annexation now, and only

Commander Peary has returned
from what is doubtless his last jour-

to reach the pole by more than five
degrees, but the surveys he made and
the observations he has recorded add
materially to the basis for future
work. Peary's researches along the
north coast of Greenland are espe-
cially valuable. He has stuck to his

years, and his latest northing of s4:17

Soon all saw its advantages and per-
