THE DUKE OF THE ABRUZZrS
EXPEDITION TO THE NORTH


Leaving Rome on May 7th, 1899.
His Royal Higness went to Norway
to Join his ship, a whaler which was
being fitted out there and had been
rechrlstened the Polar Star. 1t start
ed from Christiana on June 18th, ar
rived at Archangel on the 30th, TO
ship the dogs which were to complete
the crew and serve as provisions, and
sailed again on July 18th.
The Polar Star was headed for the
most northern accessible land, and
got ashore on the western side of the
northernmost island of the Franz
Josef Archipelago. in a bay which
was named Teplitz (S1S AZ 26" N.
Lat) upon August 10th This was
not altogether Intentional The situa-
ton, 1t Is admitted, was not good
one. though 1t was thought to be suf-
ficiently safe. The contrary was
shown in the night of September 7th,
when the ship was embedded in ice.

Iiighness, by sligth creaking noises.
but towards half-past six loud re-
ports coming from all sides, and sud-
den movements OF the ship, which
first heeled over to the left and then
twenty degrees to the right aroused
me completely. Before they ceased
rushed out on deck, half-dressed, to
see what was happening.
"The ice-field in the bay, driven by
the ice-pack, had risen all around ov-
er that which lay along the coast and
had reached up to the kennels.
against the doors of which some large
foes had been piled up, thus pre-
venting egress. When the dogs
gave the alarm the crew ran to ex-
tricate them by breaking the inner
partitions and letting them out on the
side OF the land. A ridge
had been formed along the coast
with hummocks fifteen to eighteen
feet high. Under the strong pres
sure of the ice against the bow, the
ship had backed about ninety feet
and had risen at the same time on
the Ice, where she remained, with her
bow out of water. hceling over
about twenty degrees to the left.
Great slabs of ice had been raised
against her sides and stern while
she was making her way through
them. At the bow all the rigging OF
the foremast had broken loose, and
on the right side of the ship, which
was exposed from the middle to the
bow when she heeled over the out
er planks of greenheart were seen to
have been driven In to a depth of two
and half to three and a quarter
inches for length of eighteen or
twenty feet. so much so that hand
could be passed between them"

THE GRuEsoME IN ART

often. Every painter is tempted
now and then to abandon hfs province
and do something startlingly unlike
himself"
Once when theAcademy was filled
with Sensational" canvases Millais
said he awoke in the middle of the
night after dreaming he was painting
a picture" which even now makes my
pulses thrill. 1t had something to do
with crazy canon and the dome of
st. Paul's, but don't dare describe
IT,"
Probably If the truth were known
every artist has felt craving to
break away from convention and por-
tray something, either melodramatic.
unreal, or astonishing. If one casts
an eye upon the accumulated pro-
ducts of art for the past century a

said, hits you In the eye" which Is

full of unreasonable spaces, gorgeous
prodigies of architecture, blazing
skies, and impossible monsters. Then
there came the pictures of Blake,
which were of another order of SEN

bolical, mysterious. Watts was under
the influence of Blake when he paint
ed such works as Cruel Avarice," a
man with an eagles head, MANI

disagreeable productions.

DRAWBACK.
(Orison SWEET Marden In Success
Magazine)
One of the curses of city life is
the unwillingness of young men TO
marry and assume the responsibility
or obligations of a family. The con-
sequent absence of the refining. ele-
waiting influence of home and family
upon the character of both men and
women is most disastrous. They live
unnatural and unhealthful lives and
often become abnormally selfish be-
cause they are completely absorbed
In getting the most they can for
themselves. and consequently think
very little about others
! Many girls seem to think that their
chances OF marrying men who can
support them In luxury are much en-
hanced by extravagant dressing. This
Is great delusion for men usually
see through them. Girls who dress
beyond their means. as a rule, fail to
attract. permanently the wealthy men
whom they would like to marry, and
often frighten away the young men
or small means who would be drawn
to them by their good qualities of
mind and heart, when their foolish
clothing and hollow pretense serve
only to conceal
Young men who are determined to
make something of themselves will
think great many times before they
marry young woman with extrav-
agant notions. for they know that
once a woman has contracted a taste
FOR luxuries and formed the habit of
living beyond her income. she Is rare
ly content with what man In mod
crate circumstances can afford to give
her.
