Remarkable View Explorer Got 01
Unreachable Land.
William 8. Champ, of the Ziegler re-
lief expedition, who recently returned
after faii.ng to reich Irnnz Josef Land
In the ship Frithjof, tells a remarkable
story Of the mirage in that region. says
the New York Tribune. The object. Of
the voyage could be seen clearly in the
sky, but it was impossible to reach It,
although the land seemed to be within
few miles Of the ship. He said:
I'VE skirted the ice pack from 10 de-
grees east longitude all the way around
to 20 degrees 10 minutes, looking for
an opening in the ice. For a distance
Of from thirty to forty miles out from
the shore Of Franz Josef Land 1t was
one limitless bed Of screwing, grinding
ice. One night about midnight the cap
tain called me on deck and pointed to
low, dark line near the horizon. DO
you see that liner he asked. THAT is
the coast Of Franz Josef Land. reflected
in the Clouds
1T was the most wonderful thing Of
the kind ever saw. We could see the
outline Of the coast there in the sky
30 clearly that we could easily recog-
nixe different ponds and bays. The
outline was just the same as II we
were at a considerable height In a bal
loon of the coast and were looking
down at It. OF course we were too
far away to see the land clearly, but
the coast line and the sky line Of the
elevations could be seen very distinct
".
II shall go back next summer, pre-
pared to reach Franz Josef Land ut all
hazards. It the ice conditions which
prevail there now continue another
year. shall freeze the Frithjof into
the Ice pack and when the winter sets
in and freezes things up shall so on

The Autumn Fire..

There's misty strand of cclor where the
skies and mountains meet;
The goldenrod is growing by the rivers
hurrying feet;
The cleaning scythes are swinging
through the billowy fields Of wheat.
And the autumn fires are burning on the
hill.
The orchards fruited boughs fulfil the
promise of the spring:
The rtpened rowan berries In their beau.
teous clusters cling;
The birds upon the lowland fields pre-
pare for journey:ng.
And the autumn fires are burning on the
hill
The maple glows in crimson and the birch
In rarest gold,
And q blaze OF amber beauty wraps the
beeches in its fold,
Still the mystic torches touch them in
the evenings calm and cold,
And the autumn fires are burning on the
hill.
There's drossy stiffness dwelling within
the air at noon;
There's haze along the valley beneath
the midnight moon:
Strange voices swell the chorus Of the
rivulet's soft Groom,
And the autumn fires are burning on the
hill.
All golden are the daytime hours. and
silver is the night;
The harvest hills are teeming and the
harvest stars are bright,
And pledge Of peace and plenty breathes
through the glorious night,
And the autumn fires are burning on the
hill.

JAPAN's WAR FUND.
Baron Ikanel<o Says His Country Can
Finance q Long War.

Baron Kanel<o Says His Country Can
Finance q Long War.
Baron Kentaro Kaneko Of Japan,
who arrived in the United States on a
special diplomatic mission early in the
year, was recently interviewed in New
York by reporter Of the New York
Tribune. Baron Kaneko declared that
Japan could surely finance long war
II 1t should prove necessary. He said:
"Our financial condition at this time
is vastly better than was expected.
The deposits in the postal savings
banks have been greater 1pr the year
ending with July than in, the twelve
months preceding, the clearances have
also increased and the foreign trade
has been greater. Besides the rice
crop, our principal staple, is the largest
in ten years, and the yield is 20 per
cent greater than normal. This in
crease alone has value Of over 10O,-
100000 yen, or $5O.OOO.OOO.
1.-THE loan Of s0.OOO,O 600 yen foated in
Japan a week ago was the balance Of
260,0o0, 600 authorized by parliament to
be foated at home ut the same time
that the foreign loan Of 1OO.OOO,OOO
yen was placed in England and the
United States. Parliament will meet
again in November and win then take
up the new budget for the fiscal year
beginning April 1. Large sums will
undoubtedly be derived from new
sources Of internal taxation and so
minimize the loan requirements. It is,
Of course. possible that new foreign
loan may be offered, but that will
doubtless be decided when it shall ap-
pear whether our requirements can be
met more favorably at home or abroad.
OF one thing am thoroughly convinc-
ed, as the result Of careful considera-
tion Of the subject. and it Is that we
are able to finance long war If that
be necessary
