that duty is something desperate, diff

1t only as connected with going to
church and missionary work. To
some it means a great sacrifice that
man is called on to make on one or
two great occasions in a lifetime. To
many it Is a word bearing no pleasant
impression. And many more do not
think about it at all. Duty is not a
thing for special occasions, nor does
it require any great courage or sac

happiness; to delight In every good

SOME PLACE ELSE.

We wish to know which one Of our
exchanges wrote the following editor.
iai. We would like to thank them for
saying some things which need to be
said In every town. The words apply
to Richmond:
"in a recent speech Governor
Hughes, Of New York. referred to the
constant inquiry Of reception commit
tees and prominent citizens OF how he
liked their town, and he said It had
made a deep impression on him. II
showed him that the people had civic
pride and enthusiasm. and his remark
10 worthy Of consideration.
Good citizens always have a good
word to say for their home town..
They know it's good points, and II
there are other pecuIiarities, they do
not present them.
The grumbIer who knows all the
bad features Of town and mentions
them at every opportunity 10 not only
q poor citizen, hut he Is one who does
nothing to improve the town he lives
In. It 10 good enough to provide a
home for him and perhaps a place Of
business, or an occupation, but that 10
forgotten In the general flow Of COM
plant. ~"
Every resident can do something
for the betterment Of his town. ~ he
cannot improve property for lack Of
means Of ownership, he can At least
keep his own home neat and clean.
He can have clean yard, a grass plot
or something to add to the appear
ance Of the place. and above all, he
can say = good word for the place at
every opportunity.
The 0rumbIer should take trip out
west and hear the boomers there talk
about their town. II may be only a
string Of shacks and shanties, the
most pretentious being one story high
with dashboard front, but the en-
thusiastic citizen will tell you how 10
ng II |, since the first settler located
and how the place 10 growing. He
will point out the places which have

The visitor can't help smiling, but
he feels that the resident has the
right spirit. He IS doing the things
which make good In time. And even
In small community, where all are
imbued with the same spirit, wonders
are accomplished.

LANDED SUPPLIES FOR COOK.
Peary's Letter to Coast Survey Tells
of Trip.

According to letter written to the SUI
perntendent of the coast and geodetic
survey August IL. 1908. made public yes
terday evening, Commander Robert E.
Peary landed two men at Etah with sup
plies for the relief of DR.. Cook.
Peary received his instructions from
Supt. Tittmann for making tidal observa-
tons in the arctic regions July Q of last
wear, after he had been assigned to this
duty by order of President Roosevelt. In
his first report to the officials of the coast
and geodetc survey Peary told of his trip
as far north as Etah. where he said that
he landed supplies for his rival in the race
for the pole.
He reviewed his voyage from Sydney,
which port the Roosevelt left July IL, I'M

the day he said he left the supplies. He
reported no ice up to the time that Cape
York bay was reached.
AT Cape York he learned that the Erik
had passed only the day before. He re-
ported that he expected the Roosevelt to
steam north that night.
The letter said further:
Eskimos and dogs were taken on here
and the ships tanks filled with water from
the glacier. We then steamed north to
North Star bay, where l found the Erik.
Taking on more Eskimos and dogs. the
ships steamed in company to the north
west end OF northumberland Island. where

at the head of Inglefield gulf, while the
Roosevelt proceeded direct to Etah to
overhaul and trim ship for ice.

oLD-T1ME BALLOON ASCENSION
Great Event in France Celebrated
Much as in These Days.

From the London Globe.
On August 81, 1888, Prof. Charles and
the brothers Robert. mechanicians, were
associated in the construction of a bal
loon of hydrogen of nine meters in
diameter, built to raise a car and one or
two passengers. 1t was for some time
exposed and suspended in Sale des Tuil-
leries in front Of the chateau for three
months.
The ascent was fixed for November o,
but an explosion caused the ascent to be
delayed until December 1, 17S3-a red let
ter day in the history of Paris. At midday
the subscribers, who paid four louis each
Enclosure around the fountain. The COM
mon people at three francs each occupied
seats in the other part of the garden.
Times have changed, but customs are
much the same today. The event was
celebrated as In our time. Engravings Of
various kinds celebrated the great day,
some very clever and others inane. From
these pictures. or rather from the legend
below them, we learn that 100000 persons
witnessed this epoch-making event. The
roofs of the neighboring houses and the
windows were crowded, and the Pont
Royal and the Place Louis XIV were
thronged.
Suddenly the booming of cannon is
heard: all doubts disappear. Charles ap-
proaches Etienne Montgolfier and presents
him with a little captive balloon. ITO you,
Monsieur" says he, belongs the honor of
showing to us the course of the heavens
The crowd appreciated this delicate COM
pliment to the father of aviation, and the
applause was loud and prolonged.
The balloon rose toward the northeast
and it's emerald green was seen in all it's
beauty in the sun. The ascent was made
in silence, concentrated by the emotion
and surprise of all who witnessed it,
When the ropes were released M. Robert
had only to cast out seventeen pounds
of sand for the balloon to rise.

ART EXHIBIT IN SCOTLAND.
Collection Of Pictures by the
Younger Scottish Painters.

Prom the Boston Transcript.
The summer exhibition held by the So.
ciety of Scottish Artists in the galleries
of the Royal Scottish Academy, Edin-
burgh. Is one OF the most interesting
collections that has been brought to-
gether by this association of the younger
painters. This is the fifteenth annual ex-
hibition, and it has reached a higher
artistic plane than has been attained by
any of the previous shows Among the
loaned pictures exceptional interest at
taches to Sir Henry Raeburn's portrait
of William Sinclair. owned by the Arch
deacon of London. This is the. nude
figure Of a boy with curly golden hair,
set against a crimson curtain back
ground. the rich color of which is re-
Elected in the warm flesh tones of the
figure. 1t Is said that Raeburn painted
no less than eight portraits of the Sin
clair family, who were rather notable
people in the social life of Edinburgh
toward the end of the eighteenth CEN
fury. Sir John Sinclair, the father, mar
ried a daughter of Macdonald of tine
Isles. and the family of thirteen were all
over six feet in height. which led the
Edinburgh people to name the pavement

JAPANESE MUSHROOMS.
Attention Paid to Preparation of the
Soil-The Main Crop.

Soil-The Main Crop.
From the London Globe.
The Japanese have an interesting
method of growing a kind of mushroom
known as the wood mushroom, Agaricus
shitake.
This species, which is much priced as
food in Japan. is related to the SOCIAL
ed honey fungus. species very destruc-
tive to the roots of trees and woody
plants. This latter species, 1t NAV he
noted. is one of the causes of phosphor-
escence in decaying wood.
The Japanese method of growing their
mushroom seems to consist entirely in
preparing the ground for It, A coppice
Of red oak, beech or chestnut of some
twenty years growth is cut down Just af-
ter the fall of the leaf. The wood is
then left lying for one hundred days 1t
Is then cut into lengths Of three or four
feet and the logs are lacerated with
large pruning knives. Spores settle on
the wounded parts and the mycelium Of
the fungus spreads through the tissues
of the wood.
Next year a crop of mushrooms springs
up. The production of mushrooms may
go on for six years. but the main crop Is
gathered the second year. The attempt
Is now being made to cultivate the wood
mushroom in Germany in the japanese
manner.

DOUBTS SOUTH POLE REPORT.
Capt. Scott Does Not Think Peary
Will Go to Antarctic.

LONDON, September 17-Capt Robert
to the south pole, speaking on the report
that Commander Peary had decided to
lead similar expedition. said:
Il very much doubt that the report is
authentic. but am confident that unless
our expedition starts next year there is
strong probability that other countries
will take up the enterprise along the line
of advance developed by our pioneer
work.
capt. Scott announced that Lieut.. r.
X. Evans. r. ~. would command the Dis
covery. the expeditions ship.
The extraordinary stimulation of public
interest in polar exploration is shown in
the receipt of $4,000 by Capt Scott since
the announcement of his enterprise and
offers to join the expedition in various
ca pacities.
Although the full amount required has
not yet been received. sufficient support
has been forthcoming to justify Capt.
Scott in completing his arrangements.
Most OF the men who accompanied him
on former occasions have signitied their
readiness to try again, and the main out
lines or the expedition already have been
settled. DIR. Wilson will again accompany
the party as physician, zoologist and
artist
The report that Commander Peary will
lead an expedition to the south pole is not
generally credited here. 1t is recalled that
he communicated to the International
polar congress at Brussels in 1908 his in
tentiOn on his return from his north polar
expedition to promote national American
antarctic expedition, but that he would
not personally lead it. Should the report
be confirmed that he has changed his mind
in this respect it probably will arouse
jealousy here.
The Daily Graphic in an editorial asks
whether it would be quite fair for Peary
to try to snatch the prize from Scott and
whether such a proceeding would not
transgress the principle that Peary him
self has laid down in respect to Cook.
