LAND NEAR THE NORTH POLE.

In "The National Geographic Magazine" for
June are reproduced some speculatiOns regard
ing Arctic geography which will attract wide
attention. Reasoning from pecullarities OF
ocean currents TO the northward of America
and Asia. Il. \. Harris has come to suspect the
existence of a large area of land lying not far
from the North Pole In one region the move
sment OF the water appears 10 be detected by
an unseen barrier. and in another it is quick
ened. If it We're flowing through a strait OF
which only side appears on the charts. The
tide at Point Barrow. on the north coast Of
Alaska, is much lower than at Herald Island,
to the northwestward Of Behring Strait. Again.
though high water occurs almost simultaneous.
ly at a number Of widely separated places along
the northern coast OF Alaska. Il mysterious de
lay OF seven hours is produced n few miles fur
Their eastward. These tidal phenomena may, of
course, be due 10 any one of several causes.
but they hint at an obstructinG influence at
work north OF the archipelago along the shores
OF British America. Mr.. Harris. who is an Off
cal of the United States Coast Survey, is prOba-
bly, well enough informed TO be accurate: and,
though he presents only circumstanta evil
dence, he certainly makes out good case.
Such a possibility as IS here cautiously out.
lined viii appeal fOrcibly to the imaginatiOns
Of Arctic explorers. One corner OF the hypo-
thetical tract is made TO include the pole and
10 reach half way down TO Grant Land. from
whose shores Peary means 10 make his adj
vance. The trouble which he encountered in
1902, on leaving the land, was that the float
ing ice was not continuous enough TO support
his sledges. In order to pass beyond the leads
which opened in the pack, he obliged TO
follow a tortuous path. After travelling more
than four hundred miles from his point of de-
parture. he was scarcely seventy-fve miles
away in a bee line. Obviously, IL considerable
portion OF the journey can be made on land,
much time and trouble VIII be saved. Indeed
the interposition of island hitherto uncharted
might nlone decide the fate of the expedition
OF 1905-07. The actual discovery of land In
that part of the world would be n scientific
achievement Of the most brilliant character, but
IFS existence would be chiefly valuable as an
aid to reaching a goal which so many brave
men have hitherto sought in vain.
Others than Peary. too. might find such an
island helpful. 1t is unlikely that it would do
any good to the expedition sent out by Mr..
Ziegler last year. because Mr.. Harris does not
believe that ii extends toward Franz Josef
Land. His chief reason for skepticlsm Is that
n land barrier of that kind would have de-
nected Nansen's course, while drifting, to the
southwark OF the actually pursued. How
ever, If party were to enter the Arctic Ocean
through Behr!ng Strait and push TO the north

eastward, it might be able TO finish its journey
by the overland route. 1t is conceivable that
if any such island actually exists, access TO 1t
might also be gained by going nearly due north
ward from the Strait Captain Bernier, the
Canadian explorer, who hopes TO start next
year, has been credited with the intention of
taking nearly the same course as the Inflated
Jeannette, or northwestward from the gateway
between Alaska and Siberia. Were he TO adj
here to that plan, Mr.. Harris's island would
probably be Of no service, but a change Of
route might be followed by happy consequences
AS between Peary and Bernier, the chances OF
success would be in favor of the former. Still.
an exciting race for the pole between these two
men within the next three years is not an alb
sOlute impossibility.

on Monday the art objects from the Fair gallery

his recently acquired fortune. and who wish TO SCI
him something. He was put to flight yesterday
afternoon by q persistent agent. who insisted on
writing his life insurance.

fighting general" Of the Russian service 10 re-
main inactive week after week, while only a
hundred and fifty miles away another Russian
force and fortress have been deliberately In
vested and doomed. 1t is difficult 10 imagine
anything more CALLING to General kuropatkin,
after his boast that he would drive the japanese
into the sea and dictate terms Of peace at con-
quered Toxic, than to sit at Liao-Yang an idle
and helpless spectator of the japanese invest
ment and conquest of Port Arthur.
Significant too. is the fact that the Japanese
can thus afford to await the evolution of this
deliberate plan Of campaign. 1t was commonly
said at the beginning OF the war that the Jap

months have passed, and the Japanese are still
uncrushed. According TO the positive declara-
tionS made concerning the Russian army. it
should by this time number million men in
Manchuria. Yet the report of observers on both
sides is that the Russians are greatly Outnum-
bered by the Japanese. Now, the latter have
not sent more than 100000, or at most $4,000,
to the front. all told. and perhaps not nearly as
many as the smaller OF those numbers If
then, they greatly outnumber the Russians the
Russians can scarcely have more than 100000
men available. If that is all they can put into

That a singular decision In a Pennsyl-
vania court to the effect that the innocent heirs
of a murderer executed under due process OF
law could not recover the money which the
criminal had paid In upon an insurance policy
There was no assertion the part of the COM
pany that these heirs were confederates or ao-
completes in the crime Yet so far as IS gen
orally known. the State of Pennsylvania has no
statute which requires the confscation for the
benefit OF an insurance company OF money paid
in by a murderer before he took human life.
Can it be possible-supposing that the published
reports are correct-that other courts will take
the view that the heirs of a murderer have no
rights TO the property which he leaves behind
him when he goes TO the scaffold or the electric
chair?

SOUTH JERSEY
EXPECTS BIG
OYSTER TRADE.
Have Put Extra Labor
on their Beds and Report
Excellent Crop.

The report comes from South Jersey
tllnt oyster dealers are looking forward
with keen exp ectancy to the first of
September, when they predict the
greatest trade year in the history of
the succulent sea food will begin.
Report from all sections down there
where the bivaives arc now living on
the fat of the water and growing
large and healthy, state that next sea-
sons crop will he an unusual one.
The supply this year is expected to be
far in EXCESS of any ever known il
America.
The predictions for the great crops
of this year are based principally upon
! The coolness of the summer and upon
| the size of the samples already in the
local market. These bivalves are as
large and fat and healthy as most of
the oysters sent in the height If the
season last year. The 1908 crop of
Maurice River Cove oysters, from
which the local market Is largely sup
piled the first fow months of the sea-
sou, was not q successful one.
The oyster planters ofssSouth Jersey
have paid more than ordinary atten-
lion to their beds this summer, and
Ire now jubilant when at the close
proximity to the opening of the season
the crop shows every evidence of not
being very plentiful but the bivalves
ire of the fat and luscious variety.
From tie Chesapeake Bay section,
from which Philadelphia dealers OBJ
tain their oysters after the cold
weather is we'll under way, the same
kind of favorable reports are being
received. The Chesapeake Bay oyster
planters claim that their crop will be
the heaviest ever known this season,
md their bivalves will be the best
specimens obtained in years.

THE FISH EXHIBIT.
New Jersey Makes Great Show at
the Worlds Fair.

New jerseys fist exhibit at the
Worlds f lir is attracting much atten-
ton. More than seventy specimens OF
salt sea fish we're taken from the At
Iantic Ocean and shipped half way
across the continent for this display.
The trip took ten days and not q fish
was lost On route. 1t was found nee
essary from time to time to have the
fish chr detached from the train and
allow tile fish to rest after the joltine
incident to travel.
Man-eating sharks weighing o
han 100 pounds each, and drum fish,
!. game fish of the cean, that reaches
a weight of $50 pounds, are the largest
specimens in the display.
Much credit is due New Jersey for
the collection brought to the oxposi'
tion a. considerable trouble and ex.
ense. The large cement tank in the
Palace of Forestry, Fish and Game,
which contains the exhibit, holds two
carloads of sen water. Constent filter
ing and manipulation are necessary
to keep the water in habitablt condi'
