The sarents Expedition.

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 a hut built of
driftwood. Here we were forced in
great cold, poverty, misery and grief
to stay all the winter" Those who
came back (and poor Barents was not
among them for he had found grave
in the midst of his discoveries) told of
their terrible sufferings in the long
winter night. 1t was Europe's first
conception of the dismal darkness
that enfolds the far north during the
winter months.
In 1871 the Norwegian Carlson
rounded the north end of Novaya Fem
liza 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 see
the Barents relics.
But 1t was a long time before the
nations gave up the idea that it might
in some seasons be easy sailing to the
north pole and that, as like as not, it
would prove to be really fine route
in good years to the Orient So the
British sent out Henry Hudson in
1907 in a wretched little craft of 80
tons, manned by twelve men and a
boy, to find a passage across the pole
to Japan and China. He skirted the
pack ice far east to Greenland, but
found no opening where he could en-
ter it, and, bold sailor though he was.
he would scarcely have dared to enter
the ice, fifteen feet thick, if he had
found an opening, for common sense
told him that he would never get out
again in his egg-shell of a boat. So
he went home.
But he had made two great discov-
cries. and one of them was worth far

I Oceans Were Once Joined


There is spot in the United States
of Columbia where a fvc-mile ditch
would connect the Atlantic ocean

more to the world than though he
had pointed out a royal road to the
Indies with a supply station at the
north pole. He had found the east
coast of Greenland, and he had dis
covered no end of whales and sea
horses, and the stories he told about
them brought the great arctic whal-
cries into existence. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that in two centuries the
arctic industries that grew out of
Hudson's voyage yielded products to
the world that were worth s1,000,000,-

discovered by man who was hunt

AT the reception to Capt. c. F. Hall
In New York city, just before he
sailed on his last arctic expedition in
1871, Henry Grinnell, the promoter of
the expeditions for the search of Sir
John Franklin, unfurIed the worn and
stained flag that Wilkes had carried
TO the antarctic in 1888 and that later
went to northern polar seas with De
Haven, Kane and Hayes, and placed
It in the hand Of Capt. Hall.

Mr.. Grinnell. Take it to the north
pole and bring it back in year from
next October"
A day later Hall sailed on his last
voyage to the white north where he
had passed so many years IN explora-
ton. He and the ship Polaris that
carried him never came back. He was
about 500 miles from the north pole
when he died, but he had taken his
ship farther north than any vessel
had ever been before; and now Peary

Last year it was not an uncommon
sight in central and western Kansas to
see the wheat piled ON the ground
near the track, because there were not
enough elevators to hold it, and no
cars were available when the wheat
was brought in from the farms. The
Santa Fe is using all its power this
season to handle the crop along it's
right of way Although the shipments
have only started. railroad men say as
many as 700 carloads of wheat a day
pass through Emporia on their way to
Kansas City and Chicago markets. AS
soon as the cars are emptied, they are
rushed pack for another load. The

Figures of Railroad Construction Work
Show That This Year is Consid-

Washington, July 24.-During the
first six months of 1905 the laying of
new track in the United States has
not proceeded as rapidly as during the
corresponding periods of the last seven
years. The figures compiled by the
Railway Age show that the total of
new track laid from January l to June
80 this year was 1924 miles. This
mileage was divided among 120 lines,
and was laid in thirty-six states and
territories, showing the average length
of each new line or extension to be but
a trife over ten miles. These figures
only cover the number of miles Of new
track laid and do not take into consid-
GRAFTON any other construction which
might have been done.
