THE ISLAND or JAN MAIEN.
Hudson Really Discovered u. hut Another
Man Gets the GLORY

One OF the newspapers, speaking re-
Gently Of the exploratory enterprise on
the island Of Jan Mayer. north of Iceland
SAD that the island vas y a ned after the man
who discovered it, This is a slight mac
curacy which is found in nearly every
encyc!or Ella in existence. The island
of Jan Mayen was discovered by Henry
Hudson in 1907 four years before il was
visited by the Dutrhman whose name it
bears
The bee in Henry Hudsons bonnet was
consuming passion to find short passa e ,
which might be utilized by tho Dorjtina
nations of northwest Europe in their tr d ,
with the Orient. Everybody knows that
he was cruelty sci adrift to perish in n small
boat in Hudson Bay after he had found
that hudson Strait and the great bay to
which il led him were not part of the
northwest passage To China and India
which he was seeking.
At an earlier date he had the idea tina,
he might find n short passage 10 the Orient
by travelling right across the northern
apaX Of the ear,h 20 the EASTERN countries
on the other side of the polar regions SO
he skirted the edge OF the ice pack all the
way between Greenland and Nova Znmba
looking in vain for an opening in the pack.
II was great geographical work Hud-
son proved that there was no roval road
across the pole 10 the Orient.
He traced for many hundreds of miles
the southern edge Of the great ft en- sea
that covers the northern top of the world
He dissipaled forever the erroneous notion,
long held by sailors, that seq icn could not
form far from land
He did not get very near the pole; but
he discovered the little island Of Jan Mayen,
with which his name should have been
associated. Hudson gave TO the island
the name Of Hudson's Touches; but wht n
Jan Mayen visited tho island in his ship
Esk he made a great deal more noise over
the exploit than Hudson had thought worth
while. and attracted so much attention that
his name was given TO IL.
II was another case of Columbus and
Amertgo Vespucci. The original discov-
erer was no, honored in the name Of
the thing discovered. Not only does the
island bear the name Of the Dutchman,
but one Of its extinct craters is known
az the Esk from the name of his vessel
Those who read Arctic books. however,
know that we have more satisfactory
account Of Hudson s discovery Of the island
than OF the subsequent visit OF Jan Mayen

Pretty Butterfly Fish-The Sea Anemone.
Painting Fishes Portraits

Painting Fishes Portraits.
Among the 1874 specimens, including
twenty-three varieties. comprised In the
Aquarium's second importation this season
OF tropical fishes from Bermuda. received
lie st week, there were three butterfly fishes
The butterfly fish is OF the az me ia mily
as the pretty four-eyes. but larger end
hG ndsomer. Its body is pearly gray in
color, with fins OF bright lemon. Across
the eyes there is a narrow band Of brown,
while around the body there is a broad
brown band which, as the fish changes
color, is sometimes a very distinct maj king
and sometimes I'll but invisible.
There is small black spot in the tip Of
the soft dorsal. and large one in this fin
close to the body. The butterfly fish is
beautiful, and aptly named; and many Wis
itors pause to admire the eIa NIPPLES of il
here shown.
In the tank OF the spot snGppers and
yellow tails there may now be seen three
or four thousan nd tiny sea anemones from
half an inch TO seven-eighths Of an inch in
height, with delicate tentacles ha wing "A
spread of an inch or so. They are scattered
all over the walls Of the In nix, with rather
even md regular spa cling
When little sea anemones such as these
are brought in with the flowing water and
attach themselves to the walls they are
no bigger than pin heads, In the tanks
sheltered waters and with the abundance
Of food they get they thrive and grow
rapidly to about their present size or
little bigger They flourish for a season,
and then, like 80 many real flowers, these
tiny animal flowers may perish
There were received at the Aquarium
last week four more little sand sharks, each
about 81, feet long, making seven sharks
now in the central pool
Artists come to the Aquarium TO paint
fishes from life; and visit ors who may come

AMONG The BOOKS
Harmon ID. Wilson Memorial
Ready Next Week.
Volume Entitled d" Troubles Of
a Worried Man."
is AN ARTISTIC BOOK.
First Edition Will Be Limited
and Numbered.
Albert T. Reid's Illustration q
Pleasing Feature.
is AN ARTISTIC BOOK.

The event of the month in Kansas
literary circles is the publication of the
collection of the best writings of the
late Harmon D. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson
was one of the most popular members
of the newspaper fraternity as we'll as
one of the most brilliant and this
makes the publication of the book an
event of more than ordinary interest in
Kansas bookdom.
The book is made up of five depart
ments in which is included what is
late Harmon D. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson
believed to be the best things Mr.. Will
son produced. The book bears the title
Troubles of Worried Man. and the
first subdivision is classified under this
head. 1t is really the authors arraign-
ment of present day customs.
The second part, which will be con-
sidered the best by many is entitled
1.-THE Ornery Boy and includes praetic-
ally all the childhood sketches of the au-
thor. They are so true to life that the
average man is almost sure to ind in
them a vivid picture of incidents in his
own boyhood with its sorrows and joys.
1t is not difficult to imagine that in
these delightful and simple sketches
Mr.. Wilson was writing the biography
of his own youth.
The Swedish dialect, through which
Mr.. Wilson first won recognition is
given a place in the book. 1t includes
his Swedish Philosophy and his
Letters" among the latter being the
famous Knute Nelson epistle.
The reflections of Timothy Tugbut-
ton comprise the brief bits of philos-
ophy which were found in Mr.. Wilson's
daily newspaper paragraphs. 1t is the
least pretentious department in the
work, but it will nevertheless be found
to contain much that Is interesting.
Mr.. Wilson's poetry completes the
volume. He called it everyday
verse, and this title is retained.
The book is published by the news
paper associates of Mr.. Wilson for the
benefit of his widow and little son. It
is illustrated by some Of the cleverest
character sketches ever made by Mr..
Albert T. Reid. The introduction is
by William Allen White. The book is
printed by George A. Clark, at the
state printing Office, and its typog-
raphy and binding will give it a place
in the front rank of the artistic books
of the 1903 season.
The first edition will be limited to
1000 copies, and every volume will be
numbered. No. will be sold to the
highest bidder. Sealed bids will be re-
eeived by J. E. House, secretary of the
publishers committee. until December
90 when they Will be opened and the
award made. The regular price of the
book is 81. and Mr.. House is receiving
the orders
