The Wsnds.

In outward appearance the
Wends are throughout a powerful,
healthy and muscular race. whose
men are coveted for the conscrip-
ton. The first Napoleon's famous
"Bonchers Saxons"-the Saxon dra-
goons-were nearly all Wends. And
in the present day it is the Wends
who contribute the lions share of
recruits to the Saxon household reg
iments. Their women are priced
throughout Germany as nurses.
They are all well built, well shaped,
rich in muscle and nimble in mo-
ton, like the Lacedaemonian wom-
en- of old. Next to stature, the
most distinctive external feature of
the race is their national : dress,
which, as in most cases, survives
longest and in its most characteris-
tic form among women. As be-
tween different districts it varies
very markedly, but throughout il
has come common features.-Lon-

WILL FIND THE POLE.

It Isl cool comfortable reading these

termined to 10 to the North Pole In an
airship. Tho noted German aviator
seems to feel confident that the mys-
terry can be solved by that means.
Poor Andfee had the Same conviction,
but aviation in his day was not derel-
oped as it lis now. He did not have a
dirigible balloon. He trusted to luck
and the air currents. with the result
that, IT. he ever reached tho geographic
cal point of which he went in quest.
he never was able to return to tell the
world of 1t.
Our own Walter yvcllnrin has prom
,ised to go after the Pole for several
years, but unforeseen circumstances
always arise and prevent him from
making a start. SO the world no longer
looks To him to become famous for act
,lal exploration and discovery.
Zeppelin Is different. He is a. man
OF deeds. When he says he is going to
Build an airship in which to 90 to the
Pole it is believed that he can do it,
and that he is determined to try.
Whether or not he will find Lieuten-
ant Peary there, when he arrives, re-
mains to be seen, We hope SO. II any
man deserves to attain to the honor of
being first Mt the Pole, he does. For
he has devoted many years OF the best

MI. BARTHoIDr,s RESOLUTION.

| Congressman Barthoidt of st, Louis
has laid before the House a concur-
rent resolution requesting Congress to
| ask the President to appoint two COM
missions, consisting of three members
| each. to cooperate with similar coin-
missions to be appointed by the other
governments, signntories to The Hague
conventions, With a. view to 5reaching
an agreement on the question of limita-
ton of ornaments. The preamble of
the resolution Is as follows.
Whereas, The Second Hague Confer
enen has unanimously declared in favor
Of the establishment OF a permanent Tn
teinational Court OF Albitial Justice,
and, being unable to agree on the man
ner of selecting the Judges for said
court, left the question to further diplo-5
matte negotiation between the signatorS+I
Powers: ana Tia Z
Whereas. The Second Hague Confer
enoe has by a unanimous vote declared
it to be highly desirable that the sew
fral governments take IN the subject
of the Limitation of armaments with 81
view. to some practical agreement in.
favor Of such limitation
The resolution was referred to the
Foreign Affairs committee. is to be
hoped that Congress will act favorably;
upon IT.. The First Hague congress
was called for the express purpose OF
considering tho question of gradual dis
armament. But that was then con-
sidered impracticable. Previous to the
Second Hague convention, in 1907, tho
question Of disarmament WAS again
suggested, butAit was gently put aside!
& The appointment of Congressional
committees for the purpose of going
over the entire question with repre-
sentatives of other governments would
be of immense value. BY such an in
Nestigation the obstacles to disarma-
ment would become known, and with
clear view Of all the obstacles, their
removal would be comparatively easy.

What John Burroughs, the Nat
uraIist, Had to Say in San
Francisco.

S. F. Call.-"I have seen the ortho-
dox hell and it s the real thing
This is what John Burroughs said
yesterday and what he wrote in the
great register at the Volcano House
after having climbed the slope of Ma
una Loa and gazing at the volcano of
Kilauea in eruption. The famous
naturalist arrived here yesterday on
the liner Manchuria. He has come back
from Honolulu so we'll satisfied that
everything he ever read or heard of
the beauties of the Hawaiian Islands
fell so far short of the truth that, later
on, he will write the story of the is
lands as they appeared to- him.
1t may not be until the fall. It
may be LATER he said, "but some day
l shall write the story of my visit. L
never do anything in hurry now and
like to live with my thoughts before
| set them down.
Mr.. Burroughs went to the islands in
company with Mrs. M. c. Ashley and
DIR. Clara Barrus, who returned with
him on the Manchuria. The travellers
were entertained by Governor Frear,
by other officials and by many resi-.
dents of the islands. The naturalist,
however, spent most of his time out
doors, where ON every hand he found
enehantment. For the study of animal
life John Burroughs does not regard
the Hawaiian Islands as a particularly
well stocked field. This, he says, is the
result of the activity of the mongoose,
which now practically has the field to
itself. He found birds, however, that
sang sweetly and scenery that was
worth climbing steep trails to secure
intimate views.
The climate was a constant marvel
to the naturalist, who was particularly
delighted at the almost magical action
of the sun in dispelling the temporary
discomfort caused by the showers of
rain which, in the mountains, he said,
seemed to fall every few minutes.
"And just as you are wet to the skin
and preparing to be miserable Cor the
rest of the trip, out comes the sun,
drys and launders your clothes, warns
next time it rains, which it probably
does in few minutes, you don t mind,
because you know the sun will be out
again
During his stay in Honolulu Mr.. Bur
roughs went swimming in the surf, and
even essayed the ticklish task of riding
the breakers on surf board.

What struck him as most wonderful
of all, he said, was the immensely OF
the sugar industry. He visited many
of the big plantations and was deeply
interested in the operation of some of
the large factories. He has a kind
word for the Japanese and Chinese, and
says that the islands could not get
along without them. He was reluctant
to believe that the Japanese situation
as reported by cable was really serious
He found the japanese, he said, gentle
Industrious and lawabiding.
