THE NORTH POLE.

Walter Wellman, explorer anC
newspaper man, Will in July next at
tempt to reach the North Pole in an
airship. His plan is to stop at regular
intervals, establish wireless telegraph
stations and places for storing food
He expects 10 reach the pole in less
than a week, from Spitzbergen.
Many people believe that the Gar
den Of Eden was at or near the North
Pole, aud at least one very interesting
book has been written to prove this
The remains Of tropical animals and
plants have been discovered in the
extreme north, which strengthens the
faith Of those who hold this theory.
Wellman must either bring back a
section Of the Pole with him or cut his
name on il; otherwise there will be
many to doubt his discovery in case
he is successful.

pleased to learn that the $500 annually
allowed him for travelling expenses is
chargeable 10 the general State fund,

In other words, the expenses will not

set aside for the department Of educa-
ton. This means that $500 year
more than usual will 90 10 the Nir-

For the last thirty years the travel

Any sort Of a rake may become a
muck rake when muck has accumu-
lated to such an extent that the health
and safety Of the community require
its removal. Ii is the use to which it
is put that makes it whatitis Iheor-
etically, the greatest muck rake in
this country is Charles r. Hughes,
whose work in cleaning out the life
insurance muckbeds is almost as
that Of Hercules in cleaning the Auge-
an Stables. All honor 10 him for his
work He did not try 20 besmirch the
characters Of dead men, as Roosevelt
did i'm bis book. Next TO Hughes, the
most useful muck rakes in the cOun-
try are those men, like Tillman, who
expose and condemn moral nastiness
and rottenness in public life, even in
the White House. Thejournals which
expose corruption and fraud are doing
the best possible work. IL is the man
with the whitewash brush, and not
the man with the rake, who is the
dangerous factor in public affairs, and
who deserves place in the pillory.
