How Peary Plans TO Reach the Pole

Early in July, 1905, l shall steam
north. establish my coal depot at Etah
and my subbase of provisions at Cape
Sabine. take on board my Eskimos and
dogs and attack the key of my project,
the stretch of ice navigation north OF
Cape Sabine.
hope to reach the northern shore OF
Grant Land in early September, winter
there with my ship and very early III
February begin the sledge journey
which, God willing, shall attain the
pole and perhaps lift a new land out
of the 100000 square miles of utter
incognita which at present challenges
our manhood in the polar basin.
And what for-all this effort and ex'
pense? Because of the accessions to
scientific and geographic knowledge
because it is the privilege and the duty
Of this great country to capture the last
great geographical prize the world has
| to offer-this prize which will SIGNIFY
mans final physical conquest OF the
globe-and, if there were no other rea
son, because of the added feeling OF
| pride that will be experienced by ey
cry American citizen if the stars anc
stripes are the first to reach the pole

THE BOOKS THEY READ.

Cowper read only his Bible and MS
prayer book.
Chopin rarely read anything heavier
than a French novel.
Voltalre's favorite classical author
was Juvenel, the satirist
Rossini for nearly thirty years read
nothing but French novels.
Jean Paul Richter had only FIVE or
six books, all philosophical.
Lord Give said that Robinson Cru
soc" beat any other book he ever read
Franklin read all he could find re-
lating to political economy and finance
Michael Angelo was fondest Of the
books Of Moses and the psalms OF Da'
vid.
Bach was no great reader, but much
enjoyed books of jokes and funny sto
ries.
Baxter read only the Bible and best
enjoyed the prophesies Of Isaiah and
the Psalms.
Wordsworth was fond Of the poetry
of Burns, but said the latter was toe
rough and observation-disclosures.

John Burroughs, poet and nature stu
dent and friend of both Theodore
Roosevelt and Alton B. Parker, in an
interview in the Philadelphia Ledger
said
Thompson Seton writes absurdities
which. as he avows himself, he wishes
to make people believe implicitly. They
are very charming but he ought not
to try to disguise them in the light OF
truth. For instance, the imaginary In
cident of a fox that is pursued by the
hounds jumping upon sleeps back
and riding there to escape them! You
don't catch Kipling doing things like
that His animal episodes are always
true to natural history, however re-
markable.
"Now as to dogs. A dog has no
psychic life. He has no intellect. lie
has only what the psychologists term
sense memory-that is, memory by as
ISOLATION. The dog has become halr
human from ages Of association wltn
man. so you can affirm almost any
thing of him except the faculty OF
thought and Of abstract memory.
"My neighbor up in the country mao
a dog that was always 'scrapping' with
nv dog. One day my dog died. After
that, whenever I walked abroad and
met my neighbours dog, he never failed
to look all around me for his late enc
nv. as much as to say: L don't see
your dog. Where is your dog! Wna'
has become of your dogT That was
memory by association"

MODERN BIG GUNS.
Their Wonderful Destructive Powers
and Accuracy of Aim.

and Accuracy OF hi"s
Speakine of the development in the
defensive powers of the modern guns
Of the American navy, as illustrated at
the Washington naval gun factory, an
experienced machinist and advanced
worker said to q reporter:
"This general development is not due
alone to improvements in guns OF pow
der or projectiles, but to the simulta-
neous and progressive development OF
Gil three.
LESS than half a century ago the
heaviest gun known was the sixty
eight FOUNDER This gun was about
nine inches bore and fred sixty-eight
pound projectlle, with a sixteen pound
charge of gunpowder, but was power
less against four and half inches OF
wrought iron. Our battleships today
are equipped with twelve inch guns
which, with charge Of 400 to 40
mounds of smokeless powder, are capa-
BILE of driving an $50 pound projectile
through fifty-one inches of solid
wrought iron. In olden times 1t re-
quired nearly four minutes to load and
fire one of the now obsolete sixty -elgh'
FOUNDERS. while the new and terrible
twelve inch guns can be loaded and
fired in about fifty seconds with per
feet safety
"If a projectile from one of the OLD
! sixty-eight Founders hit its mark II
was due to good luck rather than &c
good management, but 1t Is matter
3 of proud record that our modern
! twelve inch guns have scored sever
hits in less than six minutes at target
practice. while our six inch gun has
record for nine shots and nine hits II

His Studies.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, the veneer
able author Of the Battle hymn OF
the Republic" who received the de-
gree of LII. d. recently, listened
philosophically the other day to the
complaints of a woman whose sons
education at Harvard was costing a
great deal Of money
"Many sons educations cost a great
deal of money" said Mrs. Howe. Ana
vet it is the most expensive education
usually that is the least valuable.
81 had this fact brought home to me
a short time ago. 1 was visiting d
certain family, and one morning al
breakfast the father said, as he hand
ed his son, a sophomore, q ten dollar
bill:
Your studies are costing me a
great deal
"T know it, father the son answer
ed. And l don't study very hard, ell

CostIiest Atoms In the World.

There are some people, no doubt, who
fancy that $4,000 an ounce is quite
enough to give for anything In the
world, and yet from all appearances
there is little doubt that this price VIII
come to be looked upon as a very mod
est one for radium. The action of the
Austrian government in restricting the
mining of pitchblende in Bohemia is
already having its effect, and the
mighty atoms become more valuable
every day. AS an instance of the man
ner in which the precious material IS
regarded we need only mention the de-
mand that is made for the mere loan
of a specimen of radium. 1t is OF
100000 activity and has distinct
effect on the electroscope at a distance
of eight feet. For the few specks OF
yellowish substance in the center OF a
case half the size Of a lady's watch
over 900 has been refused, the own
ers preferring to lend it out to doctors
at IS q time.-Pall Mall Gazette.

lures. Many homemade and very prlm-
Tive kinds of apparatus were employ
ed in the experiments, including the
cigar box with a spectacle lens. II the
operator succeeded in producing an
impression that could be seen, 1t was
carried about and shown as O. great
success.
There were several claimants for
making the first portrait by the proc
ess. A Mr.. WalcOtt made the claim,
and Mr.. Joseph Dixon, by letters and
other evidence, claimed that the first
picture was his, for which it was said
Mrs. Dixon sat with powdered face
In full sunshine fifteen minutes.
In March, 1910, Messrs. Walcott and
Johnson opened a gallery in New
York and, announcing their readiness
to execute portraits from life, solicited
patronage. This was the first daguer-
reotype gallery in the world. Other
places were soon opened. The daguer-
reotype, although considered desirable
as a curiosity, was not popular on &C.
count of the length of time required
for a sitting, which varied according
to the time of day and the strength
of the light 1t was seldom attempted
on a cloudy day. The sitter must have
full command Of his expression and
remain perfectly still from one to three
minutes to be successful in getting a
likeness distinct enough to be recog-

The daugerreotype was made on a
pure metallic silver surface. After be-
ing perfectly cleaned and made sensi-
tive with a rouge buff it was coated
In a darkened room with the vapor OF

TRAVELLING IN INDIA.
One Must Hire n Native Tervnnt or
Endure Endless Tro able.

One Must Hire Native TerVnnt or
Endure Endless Tro ldbie.
Every one who goes to ln(lia to traVei
or live at hotels, says the Ohlcago hec-
ord Herald, must have pefsonal ser''
ant, a native who performs the duties
Of valet, waiter and errarh boy anu
whatever else may be required OF him.
This is a fixed custom Of the country
10 resist which brings endless trouble
to the traveller.
Many of the Indian hotel expect the
guests to bring all their own servants
both chambermaids and walters, ana
are consequently so short handed that
the traveller who comes without them
has usually to walt upon himself.
On the railways a native servant Is
quite Indispensable, for travellers are
required to carry their on bedding
make their own beds and furnish tnelr
own towels. The company provides q
bench to sleep on similar to those IN
American freight cabooses.
Each car has also a Mushroom and
sometimes water. But If the Traveller
wishes to be sure of washing his race
in the morning and If he is wise he VII
send his servant to the station master
before the train starts and ask to have
the water tank filled. Then Hindo(
with a goatskin full of water VII
climb to the roof Of the car and NIL L
and. having descended, will stand be
fore the door and touch his forehead
every time the traveller looks TOWARD
him till he receives a penny.
At the eating houses along the roa'
the servant will have to raid the ia
bles and shelves for food land bring l
TO the car for his master, Since no wait
ers are provided. In addition he vii
hire baggage carriers and will atten'
TO all the details of catching trains AM
engaging rooms.
A good servant can be hired for 81
n month. Poorer bearers" as they ar
called. can be engaged for 81 or So
month and expect to "fnd" them
selves, but the traveller must pay raj
way fare for them.
