infallible. But under ordinary condi-
lions 1t is a slow and tedious opera

or never-ceaSing sunshine-every hour
In the tw~enty-four. Think Of the cura-
tive properties stored in a continuous
sun bath Of fourteen weeks! For it is
into such a polar day that the Havana
will sail with her crew and thirty can
didates for the polar cure.
1.-THE PLAN" said DR.. Sohon, recently.
in speaking of the expedition, has been
a dream of mine for many years, and,
through the aid of a number of gener-
Gus men, it will To- be put into opera
ton. 1t is the sequel to my own expert
ence in the polar regions. l accompan-
led Commander Peary in 1897, and was,
at the time, slightly affected by tubercu-
losis myself. l improved so rapidly,
despite the hardships of the journey, and
was SO vastly benefited that l was struck
with wonder at what the Arctic regions
could do for persons 80 affected. That,
to repeat, was during the 1897 expedi-
ton.
Five years afterward, on accompany
ing the Peary relief expedition, l made
an exhaustive study of the subject of the
curative properties of the far north for
consumption. In order to bring the read
er to q better realization of this vast and
vital scourge, it may be said that tuber-
Gle bacilli do not necessarily lead to hope
less extremes, but it is the resulting
mixed infection with pyogenic organisms
which occasions danger. The indications
are to have an environment free from all
sources of dangerous extra infection and
to secure such other conditions as to en-
courage q restoration of vitality and Wig
or by which the disease is stifed, so to
say.
''These conditions can be met in perfec-
ton in some of the Greenland fjords-

this purpose has nothing strange or ex'
perimental for its foundation. 1t pro,
poses something easily obtainable and
better than we have at present-the

Louis A. Baumann, a ~16-year-old
water boy in a Pennsylvania coal
mine, Is one of the kind the world
calls heroes. He risked his own life
by plunging into a swollen stream to
save that Of a human being. Two
times he was forced to 20 into the
water before the rescue was effected,
so he Is a real hero. The Carnegie
hero fund commission heard Of 1t and
awarded him a medal. me a medal?''
said Baumann, when he was Informed
of the honor accorded him. What do
l want with a medal?" This young
man's naive reception Of the news
that he had done something extraordi-
nary In leaping to save a life at the
possible cost Of his own throws inter.
esting light on the subjects of heroes
and heroism. Apparently it was a
mere Incident to him. The man was
In the water, drowning. The thing to
do was to get him out. There was no
reason for any fuss over 1t. This, the
unconsciousness Of having done any
thlng that merits especial notice, is
the keynote Of the true hero. The
man who risks his life to save another
Is not of the type that stops and con.
siders. He acts. What prompts him
to act a hardly be fathomed. The
impulse which prompts men to risk
their lives constitutes the mystery OF
heroism. The soldier in battle has
the inspiration of patriotism, the love
Of great deeds and of duty, and the
surge Of combat to urge him on tc
what is certain death. The city fire
man who PUSHES into a burning build
ing has the inspiration of his fellows
and the traditions of the department
The steamship captain who goes dowr
with his boat knows that it is thu
proper thing to do. The isolated indi
vidual who promptly risks his life
when the occasion demands has none
of these sources Of inspiration. HI
acts from some sudden spring of i'm
pulse within himself. The impulse
says, DO" and he does. Afterwar6
1t may come upon him that he has
risked his life, but never when he 1.
in the act of doing so. 1t is the help

and the rest of men is that he does no
pause to think. Between the warn
impulse to do and the actual deco

man who is not a hero pauses, reflect.
and is lost. The hero does not weigh
his chances o the heroics Of the stu
alton. Neither does he consider tn,
likelihood that his deed may be wide
ly known. A medal comes as a shocl

1t Will be a curious and perhaps an
amusing fact to many members Of
the present generation that Henry
ward Beecher regarded 1t as his duty
TO defend the morality of life-insur-
ance. In that day a most respectable
portion, indeed, almost a majority, of
the public looked upon insurance as a
sort of gambling. With a better I'M
d~erstanding of the subject, that view
has almost disappeared, and what was
once regarded as a dubious act has
come to be recognized as a personal
duty. So rapidly has the business Of
l~lfe-insurance grown that the funds
of the insurance companies are to-day
tile greatest aggregations of capital in
the world. Two billions and a quar-
ter of dollars represent the actual as
sets Of the "old line" life-insurance
companies Of the United States, and
the insurance in force which they rep
resent is over ten billions. There are
more than five million policy holders,
each insured for an average Of a little
over two thousand dollars. In addi-
ton to this there are about fifteen mil
lion outstanding industrial policies,
representing some two billion dollars
insurance, and there are more than
Six million policy holders, with eight
billion dollars of insurance, in frater-
nal orders. Altogether, therefore, more
than half of the families in the United
States are insured. More and more
clearly 1t has been recognized that in
surance is for the man of moderate
mean a safe and sensible form of
saving; and as greater numbers Of men
of that class have become interested.
measures for the better protection of
policy holders have been passed by
State legislatures. Companies which
were doing an unsafe although attrac-
tive business have been for the most
part eliminated, or turned toward
safer channels; and the mutual plan
has gained favor so rapidly that in
theory, at least, there is now no more
absolute democracy in the world than
Il great life-insurance company.

what one correspondent writes that it

OF John Paul Jones, for the church has
