The First Map of Greenland.

THE first map exhibiting all the coast
line of Greenland has just been pub
] lished. This has been made possible
by surveys of the hitherto unknown
northeast coast carried out last summer
by DR.. Mylius Erickson, who lost his life
with two of his comrades, while on his
way back to the ship after the completion
Of his work. Only about forty years ago
it was believed by an eminent geographer,
DR.. Petermann, that Greenland extended
across the Pole and southwark to the
lneigaborhood of Behring Strait. We have
known for some time that this view is
incorrect, but the full northern coastline
of the island has never been actually sur
veyed until now DR.. Erickson formed his
plan of doing this several years ago, and
started from Denmark on June 25 1906,
reaching winter quarters in the inlet be-
hind Cape Bismarck on August H. He
surveyed the neighboring coasts while
daylight lasted, and in the following
March started on a sledge trip, during
which he and his companions surveyed
every uncharted mile of the coastline. A
mistake in estimating the distance to be
traversed cost the explorer his life In
stead of a comparatively straight course
he found great peninsulas and inIets that
greatly extended his work, and he was
unable to return to his depot of supplies
before the next winter came on. In a
frutleSs effort to reach the ship Erickson
died on November 10, only a few miles
from a cache where he would have found
food

oysters. They are not nearly so popu-
lar as they used to be. 1 can't explain it.
Maybe people have grown tired of them,
or it is barely possible that the typhoid
agitation may have had something to do
with the change.
Fish still holds its own, and there is no
reason why it should not, with so many
excellent varieties in the market. But it is
more simply served and the native flavor
is not smothered in sauces, as 1t fire.
quently was when the guests seemed to
demand highly seasoned dressings. You
always have the entrees and roast or
game, but the roast and game don't always
figure on the same menu. One or the other
goes, according to the taste of the diners.
Usually it is the game that is neglected.
''The salad course remains, but the sal
ads are simpler. Lettuce and romaine per-
haps lead in flavor, but with those who
are thoroughly up to date even the mixed
salads are composed entirely of vegeta-
bles. The dressings are no longer mys-
ferrous compounds to stimulate the i'm
agination and impair the digestion. French
dressing seems to have passed the zenith
of its vogue for the time being, and some
Of the guests who insist on making their
own dressings frequently leave out the
oil. AS for the meat, lobster, potato and
egg salads, they are no longer seriously
considered. They might constitute a full
meal, whereas the province of the salad
is only to serve as relish to an appetite
whose keen edge has been somewhat
dulled by previous courses. The heavy
salads are served to the country cousins.
There has been great change in the
matter of desserts. These were always
the weak point of women. But women are
eating fewer desserts than I have ever
known, and it keeps taxing the ingenuity
of the pastry cook to keep up interest in
that part of the dinner. This probably is
largely owing to the dieting fad which
seems to have taken such a strong hold
on the society women of to-day. At stag
dinners the desserts are more likely to be
passed up than not, but if the women keep
such strict dietary rules the men will have
30 cultivate a sweet tooth or the pastr!
cooks will have to go out of business.
