EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.
Some Account of the Arctic Trips
That Have Been Made.

Beginning with the American dis
coveries of John Cabot in 1897, the
search for the northwest passage was
for many years the object of rival ex-
petitions from Denmark, England,
France and Portugal, says A. w.
Greely in the Century. 1t was Frobish-
er, however, who in 1576-78 first gave
q distinct national character to the
quest. John Davis of Davis strait,
followed in three voyages, 1858, and
then, in 1912, came the illustrious and
hapless Henry Hudson, whose motto
was that explorers should achieve
what they had undertaken or else give
reasons wherefore it will not be-"
The search for the Atlantic side
closed for two centuries with the voy-
age of a great seaman, William BAT
fin, who, in tiny boat of 55 tons, with
q miserable equipment, but an un.
daunted heart, attained. in 1916, the
highest north in the western hemis-
phere, II degrees 45 minutes N, and
discovered three radiating sounds,
Jones, Smith and Lancaster, the last
being the eastern entrance to the long,
sought passage.

SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen Of Holland Has Agreed to Rec.
ognize Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources of rev.
enue of the pope before the separa.
tion of church and state in France was
the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec.
ognizes the ennobling titles and dec.
orations of the holy father. To have
the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count, 1t was necessary
to obtain a confirmation of title. This
gave much perplexity to the candi-
dates.
The question has Just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pill
grimage to The Hague-and also in
an increase in the price of these pom
tifical favors.

knights of the Golden Spur, of the
Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, of Gregory

SNOW and RATA.

The first man to whom IL ever oc-
Cured to find out how much rain was
represented by given fall of snow was
Alexander Brice OF Kirknewtown, who
in March, 1765, made simple expert
ment with the contents of a stone jug
driven face downward into over six
inches of snow. What he learned was
that greater or less degree Of cold,
or of wind, when the snow falls, and
its "lying a longer or shorter time on
the ground" will occasion difference
in the weight and in the quantity Of
water produced; "but IT," he added, Il
may trust to the above trials, which
endeavored to perform with care, snow,
newly fallen, with moderate gale Of
wind. freezing cold, will produce a
quantity of water equal to one-tenth
part of its bulk" So that fall of
snow of ten inches represents a rain
fall of one inch.--London Chronicle.
