Whenever polar expedition is in
progress we hear Of Ice foes, pack ice,
sailing Ice and other things Of which
the reader in temperate climate has
only hazy idea, which makes him
miss the interest of the news. An "ice
field" Is an area of frozen snow or wa
ter SO large that the limits are invisi-
BILE and unknown. On the other hand,
a "tloe" is mass of ice perhaps very
large, but whose boundaries are seen
by the explorer. When such foes be-
come broken and the pieces are wedgcd
together by the wind and the currents
they form pack Ice" the terror Of
the arctic voyager When a ship gets
caught In mass of pack ice there 1t
remains fast until contrary winds or
currents break up the pack, and then
we have Sailing Ice"

The recent agitation for heavier
rails ON railroads, that wrecks
might be averted, seems timely in
view of the many awful wrecks re-
ported almost daily from broken
rails. Section foreman, John Callan
tells us that the new rails laid last
winter east Of Winthrop are going
to the bad quite rapidly. They are
hard and soft alternately through
out their length. Many are battered
and flattened out and require con-
slant watching. With the great
weight of the new engines it is
wondor the rails stand the hammer
ing they get. Tons of weight and
hundreds of cars daily pass over
them and it seems wonderful after
all that they last as we'll as they do.

Washington, D. c., Sept. H.
Rev. Simon p. w. Drew, one Of the
very ablest and best. known evange-
lists, church managers and spiritual
shepherds on the continent, has
achieved distinct triumph in the
purchase Of the ,edifice formerly oc-
cupied by the Northminster Presby-
terlan congregation, for the use Of
the Cosmopolitan Temple Baptist
church, Of which he is the pastor
The new church is located on North
street, between 9th and 10th streets,
in the heart of a fashionable eau
casian neighborhood, and is regard
ed as an exceptionally valuable
piece of property. 1t measures 100
feet by $50 feet, covering three lots
and Is conseryatively estimated to
be worth from 100000 to $15O,OO0.
The Northminster congregation from
whom the property was purchased is
one OF the best and richest in the
city, and the sale was conducted by
DIR. Drew with so much tact and
business skill that no one in a DO
sititon to protest against the trans
Ter knew anything about it until the
transaction had been irrevocably clos
