That one planteth and another reap
eth has been strikingly illustrated in
the successful voyage which Capt.
Roald Amundsen and his eight men
have made through the Northwest pass
age, for he has only followed the route
known to exist by reason of the dis
coveries of Sir John Franklin, in 1847.
But Notwithstanding the fact that
Amundsen has not made an original
discovery, his feat in taking the first
vessel through the channel from Baf-
fin bay to Behring straits is none the
less remarkable, for it took boldness to
conceive and courage to attempt, and
good luck born of persistent watchful
effort to accomplish what for the past
800 years the most strenuous efforts of
arctic explorers has failed to do.
In addition to his bringing his
stanch little ship, the Gjoa-a sloop of
AZ tons, 70 feet long, 20 foot beam and
propelled by small petroleum engine
safely through, he has made impor-
tant observations which it is believed
will, when they are all figured out and
the proper deductions made, settle the
location of the magnetic pole. A mag
netic pole is a point where the freely
suspended needle shows a dip of 80 de-
grees. An observation station was es-
tblished by Capt. Amundsen at King
Williams land, latitude, GO degrees
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-01-12

and 80 minutes north and 80 degrees
west. Capt. Amundsen declares his be-
lief, based on the two years of OBJ
servation by him, that the north mag
netic pole is within 80 minutes of that
point. The observations have been
taken day and night for a period OF
three years, and, in the opinion of the
explorer, the actual position of the
magnetic pole will be determined as
soon as his observations can be fig
ured out.
In 1881 Capt. James Ross, from OBJ
servations made located the magnetic
pole on Bothia Felix, Americas north
ernmost peninsula, and it is evident
that there has been little change from
the point marked by him. Capt. Amund-
sen found that in passing from the
northern point of Peel sound to the
western end of Simpsons strait the
ships compass was useless.
When Amundsen sailed from Chris
tiania June II, 1908, he knew definite
ly the course he wanted to take, be-
cause of the records made by the
Franklin expedition, and the story of
that expedition is really the introduce
ton to the story of what Amundsen
has accomplished.
On May "a, 1847, Graham Gore, first
lieutenant of the Erebus, with another
officer and six men left their ships and
started southwark. They reached Point
Victory, on King William Land, and
went onward till they came to Cape
Herschel. A little beyond they saw
the coast of North America, the charts
of which were in their hands. The
Franklin expedition had been sent from
England for no other purpose than to
find the Northwest passage.
The little party realized that the
long-sought-for passage had been dis
covered, and could actually be accom-
plished, if they might only force their
ships through the short ice barriers
that interviewed between them and the
open water. They deposited a record
of their discovery and then hurried
back to their ships to impart the joy
full tidings to their comrades. They
found the expedition plunged in the
deepest grief, for, during their absence,
Sir John Franklin had passed away.
He was shared the misery of sharing
with his men the starvation that befel
them all when they finally abandoned
their ships and sought the mainland.
And it is this summer channel along
the coast that Amundsen has followed
westward; and the Franklin party not
only pointed out the short cut to the
channel, but the fate of its ships gave
a warning to Amundsen which he fully
improved.
The map shows the track of the
Gjoa as she entered Lancaster sound
from Baffin bay and threaded the chan
nels leading westward till she reached

already accomplished. When he reaches
Norway he will have done something
no other arctic explorer has ever at
tempted, the circumnavigation of the
globe within the arctic regions.
Capt. Amundsen was first mate of an
antarctic expedition which seven years
ago made important discoveries in the
southern polar regions, and Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, who was
member of the same expedition. speaks

the region where Amundsen made his
magnetic surveys. This region is
roughly inclosed with circle Of KS.
In this area Amundsen spent nearly
two years. HIS last magnetic work
was done on King Williams island, not
far from where Lieut.. Gore solved the
question of the Northwest passage; and
it was here that the Gjoa started on
the journey.

Norwegian of the Norwegians, Capt.
Road Amundsen, when little more
than boy began his maritime career.
Amundsen attended the public schools
of Christiania, and the only diploma
that he owns is from one of the high
schools of the ancient capital of Nor
way. He first came prominently be-
fore the public as member Of the
antarctic expedition of the Belgica,
which vessel in 1879 cruised in the
south polar seas under M. Gerlach-
Returning from this expedition,
Amundsen conceived the idea of an
arctic exploration, the object of which
would be the discovery of the North
west passage and the location of the
magnetic pole.
Amundsen told his friends Nansen,
the explorer, and Profs. Schmidt and
Neumayer, of Germany, his hopes, and

good story is told on a young
clergyman in the suburbs who was re-
Gently married, and who was properly
punished for trying to make front
before his bride, says the Philadelphia
Record.
1t is well-known rule among clergy
men not to take fee from a fellow
eral custom is, however, for the best
man to go through the usual form and
present the officiating clergyman with
an envelope containing the fee. The
minister then pays a graceful compli-
ment to the bride AMI presents the en-
velope to her. Aware of this custom,
the young minister thought he would
make a big showing before his bride,
and placed 500 in the envelope smil-
ing in anticipation of her surprise
when she should open it and see what
her lover was willing to pay for be-
ing united to her.
The young mans CONSERVATION can
be imagined when the other clergyman
calmly pocketed the envelope and made
no movement to return it, The Off

reports of the rich bride his young
friend was getting, and decided that
the lee would do him more good than
the newly married couple, and there

about the 500, but the joke was too

DESERT HEAT NOT so BAD
Temperature of Sahara Hardly OPP
pressive on Account of
Dryness.

The Sahara is not ut all as popular as
belief pictures it, vast plain of NOV
ing sand, dotted here and there with
fertile GASES, somewhat like leopard s.
skin. From Tunis westward it is a
vast depression of sand and clay not
much above sea level, in some parts
perfectly level, in others billy, with
low Expressions containing water salt
Ter than the sea, which generally evap-
crates, leaving costing of brilliant
crystals which appear like snow in
the distance.
The river from the Aures mountains
on the north serves to irrigate the
GASES of the Ziban;' sometimes they
flow above the surface, but often below
it. There is a fascination about the
desert that is indescribable, and which
none can understand unless they have
spent several weeks with caravan.
At times the heat is great, but being
perfectly dry it does not enervate as a
humid atmosphere does at tempera
ture of 40 degrees lower.
Near midday the desert appears to
be molten sea of dazzling, vibrating
light Now and then the mirage ap-
pears, and the tired eyes of the
stranger are refreshed with visions of
beautiful lakes near the horizon, even
sometimes of trees and moving cara
vans. Alas! this is case where see
ing is not believing. After many dis
appointments of this kind the camels

of a murder case. Not long after his
admission to the bar he was employed
to defend a man accused of murder.
j. N. believed implicitly that his client
was innocent, and he entered with all
his energies into his defense. For
several weeks before the trial took
place he worked continuously in the
preparation of the testimony and the
law points that would come up at its
hearing.
The trial of the case lasted a week.
During that time j. N. worked assid-
uously, far into the night, giving him
