they proceeded toward the south and
quite by accident, arrived at a station in
charge of Jackson. an English explorer.
Here they obtained the first baths and
change of clothing since they had left the
"Fram." They embarked from there on
the "Windward,' a relief boat sent to
this Franz Joseph station and arrived in
Christiania in August 1896, Just a few
days before the "Fram" returned to the
same port after her three years voyage
through the ice.
Nansen has said that the cracking,
rumbling and snarling noises Of the ice
foes are appalling to hear. On one oc-
casion during the Franz Joseph journey
the two kayaks slipped their moorings
and when Jansen noticed them were
floating rapidly away. lie Immediately
stripped of his clothing and swan out in
the icy water until he caught them. The
usual winter temperature in the Polar
region is 40 degrees below and the high
est summer register is 80 degrees above.

THE STORY OF NANSEN.

The most successful of Arctic exploits,
the story of Nansen and his Arctic ex
petition, illustrated by stereopticon,
made an interesting lecture for the pupils
of Friends School, yesterday afternoon.
Prof. George A. Hoadley of Swarthmore
described fully the experiences of the
bold sailors on the 'fram' which pene
trated the uneNplored realms Of the Frost
King and reached q latitude of SO de-
grees. The "Fmm,y the name meaning
onward, left Christiania in June, 1893,
and returned to the same port in August,
1896, after q safe passage through the
Arctic ice, vast area whose diameter is
] 900 miles in length. Under Nansen's
directions the ship was built TO resist the
ice and 80 shaped that the pressure lifted
it and prevented crushing.
1t had been known to scientists that a
current of the sea, which in Polar regions
Is ice on the surface, sweeps from Alaska
and Siberia across the north of North
America and down the eastern coast of
Greenland and this expedition accom-
plished the great feat of moving with
this current. Nansen took the northwest
passage, slirting the northern shores of
Europe and Asia and by September, 1898,
the Gram was frozen fast in the ice
foes above Alaska.
During the slow progress of the
'Tram," imbedded in the foes and NOV
ing with the current of the Polar sea,
many observations were taken. As these
sens are always covered with 20 or 80
feet of ice casting the lead was a tedious
process requiring five or six hours work.
.. 900 feet was found to be the usual
depth, a new discovery, as the Arctic
basin has always been supposed TO be
shallow. The temperature OF the water
was taken and the wonderful beauties of
the aurora were constantly observed.
The Polar bears were plentiful and one
daring fellow invaded the deck and ate
two of the dogs. Several of the men mar
rowly escaped from the clutches of these
fierce beasts, who were much too saga
cious 10 be caught in the traps set for
them
To avoid scurvy Nansen had provided
variety of food for his men and made
them indulge in daily exercise on snow
shoes and in summer sailing kayaks on
the pools Of water which melt on the
surface of the foes.
Finding by observation that the
'Fmm" would not 90 through the pole,
Nansen and one companion with dogs,
sleds and kayaks LETT the vessel IN
March, 1875, and started for the pole
This resulted in almost year of peril,
hard work and suffering He went with
in 25O miles of the pole and for want Of
provisions was forced to return. Dur
ing the journey south they were COM
PEELED 20 xiii their dogs for food. The
Journey south was exceedingly hard as
the ice WAS moving north. When they
finally reached the surface of the water
they had their own two bestowed dogs
with them; as the kayaks were too small
in which TO float both dogs and men, the
dogs had to be killed. Each man shot
the others dog as this was more kind
than to leave them to die of hunger or
10 be eaten by the hears.
Nansen and Hoiansen wintered on
Franz Joseph Land, living in q snow hut
on walrus and bear meat. In the spring

AvoNDALE BRIDGE.
The Trolley Crossing Considered by the
People of the Town.

People Of the Town.
A meeting Of citizens of Avondale, Pa,
was held few days ago TO consider the
question Of having the trolley road cross
White Clay Creek in the best manner
possible, with the least inconvenience to
the citizens of that section, the least cost
10 the county, and also to the satisfac-
tion of the largest number of people, in
cluding Contractor O'Connell. No real
trolley Instructors were at the meeting.
although there were numerous objections
to the trolley using the centre of the
bridge. The most important question
was, If the builders thought that the
bridge was not strong enough, to ascer-
tain what was needed to strengthen IL
so that it would bear the strain of heavy
cars. The contractor understood this and
acted on that line, by at once obtaining
the services of an engineering expert,
who visited Avondale examined the
bridge, drew plans and laying them be-
fore the county commissioners and their
counsel, fully explained what was needed
in every particular.
The expert was Mr.. Harris. of the firm
of Harris & Fine. of Philadelphia. who
have had experience in this particular
line. The plans We're left with the Ches.
ter county commissioners, They com.
prise several distinct ideas, covering the
views of different speakers at the Avon
dale meeting, and will be fully consid-
cred by the commissioners before a de.
cision is arrived at The county officials
will, as their counsel stated, use their
best Judgment and endeavor 10 satisfy
all concerned, if possible The matter
will be taken mp soon and settled.
In the meantime the construction of
the trolley line, except on the bridge,
goes on vigorously.

Ernest Lowe, hunter from Chicago,
who was out with friend on Wolfe
Lake yesterday afternoon, shot his left
arm off and otherwise seriously in
jured himself. After the accident
which nearly cost him his life, he was
removed to a Chicago hospital where
he is said today to be recovering.
Both of the men were on the Illinois
side of the water waiting for a flock of
ducks to rise and pass over them. They
had waited longer than they had ex-
pected and when a large flock did pass
over them, both reached for their guns.
The trigger of loves gun was caught
on the boat and swapping discharged
the heavy charge with which it was
loaded. A number of the shots entered
his breast on the left side injuring him
internally. The biggest part of the shot
however. struck his arm and literally
blew it off. His friend rowed him to
the shore and telephoned for an ambu-
| lance in which he was taken TO a Chi
! cago hospital
