Success and Failure.

Peary failed to reach the North
Pole. but he got nearer to that elusive
proposition than any other of the
numerous explorers who have tried to
penetrate to that arctic region that
has been so long an undiscovered coun.
try. He was within 191 miles of the
pole, short distance from the point
desired, if the transportation in the
frozen north were equal to our own in
the matter of speed over good rail
roads. Peary beat the record of Capt.
Cagni of the Italian Duke of Abruzzi
expedition by over so miles, and is to
be praised for his persistency and
courage. but, nevertheless, many are
asking what particular good has been
accomplished by his efforts? Even if
ne had reached the regions where it
is claimed there are 100000 square
miles of unoccupied territory, would
this have been of any benefit to hui
manity at large? asks Boston Budget.
Would the country have been inhabi'
table, and if it We're, how would in.
tending settlers ever get there through
the icy barriers that would oppose
their progress on all sides? Possibly
in the distant future, modern invent
1veness might be able to make jour
neying to the pole comparatively easy,
SO that even excursion parties might

ent this seems to be as little likely Of
realization as would be a trip to Mars
on flying machine. However, man is
an inGuiring animal, and is always
wanting to eat of the tree of know

be gratiied by the invasion of the
North Pole, there would be some ad-
vancement made in developing the
spirit of enterprise without which
there is no progress in any acknow-
ledged practical direction. Science
would be benefited by the discovery, if
nothing else came from it for the pros
perity of mankind. Peary has not at.
tained the summit of his ambition,
but that will not discourage others
from trying to outdo him. His exam.

farther than he did, for as he followed
Others he will have. no doubt, many

has in his defeat is the faith that his
wife exhibited during his silent alb.

dangers of arctic travel.
