stage in What the British admiralty
claim as the greatest achievement in
naval construction. On October 2,
1905, only few days over four months
ago, work was commenced at Ports
mouth on the vessel, the first of what
is to be known as the Dreadnaught
class. The admiralty has made good
their boast, and Britishers have an
other cause for pride in their navy.
Another twelve months. all going well,
the Dreadnought will be commission
ed and join the Atlantic fleet, thus
beating ali previous records in battle
ship building by six months. There
are two reasons why work is being
rushed on the Dreadnought. One is
the great saving in cost, but the chief
reason is that the ship is to some eX-
tent an experiment and it is desired
to give her a good trial before COM
mencing construction on any more of
her class.

ISLANDS ARE DONATED

Washington, Feb. 49, = Upon the
theory that there exists in the Arctic
regions an enormous archipelago as
yet unexplored. lying between the
Parry Islands and Wrangel land. off
the Siberian coast, Captain Ejmar
Mikkelsen, commander of the Anglo
American polar expedition, will under
take what is said to be an entirely
novel campaign in the history of Arc
tic expeditions. Although a subject
of Denmark, Captain Mikkelsen, upon
discovering the new continent, intends
to plant there the American flag and
claim it as possession of the United
States. He has no intention Of try
ing to reach the North Pole, an I'M
dertalling which he believes to be both
improbable and useless of attainment

the Danish minister and Henry Ed

petition.
President Roosevelt expressed his
hearty approval 1t was explained
that the intention of Captain Mikkel-
sen is to make scientific investiga-
lions, which probably will result in
new and important additions to pres
ent knowledge of geography, geology,
Meteorology, hydrogaphy. and possib-
ly ethnology, astronomy and physics.
Captain Millkelsen will have as his
companions on the expedition, which
it is proposed shall start from San
Francisco in May of the present year,
Ernest Lemngwell, of the University
of Chicago, who will have charge Of
all the scientific work, and Ejnar Dit
levsen, of Copenhagen, who is both
a zoologist and artist. IN its entirety
the expedition goes out under the aus
pices of the Royal Geographical So

And the souls of each twain be welded
In the clinging of loves first kiss.

And by all that he loves shall swear it;

And the maid shall hearken, believing,
Till all of the tale be said;
And the moon with silver halo
Shall circle her gold crowned head.
And he he shall be her idol;
And she, she shall be his queen;
And their loving shall spread a glamour
Ger all of the sylvan scene;
So that when every two are aged,
Long mated-each man and wife

The grandest OF all their life
AS long as the world keeps spinning,
The way it is wont to do,
There'n be wooing and cooling and low

The same as 'twixt me and you;
And lovers shall go on loving
In ways they will ne'er forget:
And their VOWS shall be true mine
And, darling, I love you yet.
And I love the park ways winding.
And l love the wide lagoon
Whose memory Stayeth by me.
The lights, and the rising moon;
And the tall and graceful poplars
Against it. in silhouette;
Aye, love it! 1 love it! love it!

The judge took Mr.. Converse at his

his eloquent remarks in behalf of his

fact that the boys parents are in poor

Once We were 156 days in sailing

them on in the morning, they would

sails and ropes, our hands split.
