said to have done much in aid of the

Prior to a conference held by a secret

the east side the members received word
that the Polish socialists in this coun-
try would like to offer their co-opera-
ton in the work.
At a meeting held in an East Broad
way hall. the police were called to drive
off a number of socalled anarchists who
attempted to convert the meeting into a
scene of disorder. After some difficulty

SERMON SERVED GOOD PURPOSE.
sudden Delivery Of Theology Made
Horse Stop and Think.

What was possibly the most con.
vlncing sermon in the world was new.
or preached; 1t was devoted TO an.
other use. Archbishop TAFT was driy.
ing along country road porting over
the manuscript Of his sermon as he
rode. His attention was attracted by
a roar and clatter behind and turn.
ing round he saw horse attached 20
huge lorrie careerlng down a Hi
at gallop. The animal was beyond
the control Of it's driver and was
making straight for the back Of the
dogcart in which the archbishop was
riding. The runaway drew RAPIDLY
nearer, but TAFT waited calmly, and,
as 1t Numbered up to the light trap,
he selected the psychological moment.
Then with all his force he flung the
many'leayed sermon full In its face.
The runaway stopped short 10 think Il
over and as he did so his driver got
him In hand again and the situation
was saved. The poor beast had never
had such a 'blatter' of theology be-.
fore was the archbishops comment.

Unclaimed Rewards.
In 1913 the British government
passed an act by which the first Brit.
ish ship 20 sail TO SO degrees north
was TO receive a reward of $4,000: to
50 degrees, $4,000; to 81 degrees,
$4,000; to SO degrees. $4,000, and TO
SO degrees, $4,000. This act is eth
among the laws Of England, but not a
cents reward has ever been claimed,
for the farthest north by any British
ship up to this time Is SO degrees %
minutes and the highest north by any
ship Is the Frams record Of 50 de-
grees 81 minutes
Not long after these rewards were
offered polar travellers reached a
weighty decision, and that was that
1t was useless to attempt to reach the
pole by boat alone. They had never
found an open sea and were at last
convinced that Il was futile TO think
of forcing a sailing vesse! through
that terrible ice. To reach the pole,
they said, they must go by ship as lar
as possible and then take to sledGCs.
This opened new era of polar en-.
deavor, and Parry, in 1927 was The
first 10 try the new plan. North Of
Spitzbergen he landed on tho pack
ice, loaded his heavy, clumsy sledges
with supplies, and twenty.eight men
Juggling at the ropes, toiled painfully
northward, He got as far as SO dc.
grees 10 minutes when he made dis.
covery that ended his hopes He was
losing every day more than half the
distance travelled, because the ice nm.
der him was drifting southwark. His
supplies would not hold out against
such odds, and so he drifted back to
the open sea and went home. but he
had recorded the highest north and
his record was not broken for half
century.
Then came Kane in 1853, with Il
most romantic and thrilling journey
up the Smith sound channels, since
known as the American route to the
high north, and he brought home a
new theory that for n while gave a
great impetus to attempts to reach The
pole.
William Morton. one Of his men,
scaling cliff, saw Kennedy channel
stretching away. perfectly ice free. and
he thought he saw beyond It the wat.
ers widening out into an open sea
An open polar sea beyond this zone
of ice was Kanes theory. What Nor.
ton saw was only strip OF temper.

The Barents Expedition.


The English. Dutch and other mari.
time nations were very curious about
these great unknown northern regions
and they heard a true and wonderful
story Of them after the Dutchman
Barents and his crew reached the
north end Of Novaya Zemlia in 1896
and passed the first arctic winter ever
faced by Europeans in hut built Of
driftwood. Here we were forced in
great cold, poverty, misery and grief
TO stay all the winter" Those who
came back tand poor Barents was not
among them, for he had found a grave
in the midst of his discoverics) told of
their terrible sufferings in the long
winter night. 1t was Europe's first
conception Of the dismal darkness
that onfolds the far north during the
winter months.
In 1871 the Norwegian Carlson
rounded the north end Of Novaya Fem.
Tia and saw that hut, 27S years after
Barents had left It. The roof had
fallen in, but he dug out the snow
and recovered some seventy articles
that the explorers had left' behind on
their retreat There stood the cook.
ing pans over the fireplace the old
clock against the wall, the arms and
tools. drinking vessels, instruments
and books. Most visitors to The
Hague now go to the museum to sec
the Barents relics.
Blu II was long lime before the
natieas gave up the idea that It might
in some seasons be easy sailing to the
north pole and that, as like as not, II
would prove to be really a fine route
