Grafton as himself. II he should prove
that Canada handed this worthy busler
a grant of land or ice at the pole to
which it had itself no title, he has
reason to charge the little sister Of the
SHOWS with bad faith. If Cook and Peary
were accurate in their observations at the
pole. there is no land there within suf-
hcient range to rescue the polar sea
from the category Of international ocean.
Ice that forms beyond the three-mils
limit is not at present regarded a. SUBJ
ject to presumption.

The Opportunity In Russia.

From the New York Sun.
Russia, hardly SCARED by its revsrses
in foreign war, and relieved from the
paralyzing effects Of dissension and rev.
olution within, Is entering now on q
period Of development and commercial
prosperity the possibilities Of which have
not been overlooked by the manufactur-
ing and trading communities Of any ma
ton except the United States. Already
the Anglo-Russian. Franco-Russian and
Russian Belgian chambers Of commerce
are in successful operation. and the
Dutch and the Swedes are forming sim
liar associations. The almost monopo-
listic hold that Germany has had on this
great market seems about to be broken,
and only Americans are making no con-
certed effort to obtain share of the
profitable trade that is to be created or
that may be diverted from its former
channels.

Mr C. X C. Merriam Company of Springfield, Mass, have just issued WebSters New International Bicition- ary, based on the International of l9s0 and 1900.

Com missioner 0f Education The number of words and phrases defined has been greatly increased mainly from the fresh coinage of recent years both in popular speech and in the various arts and sciences. The revival of early English sfudit- is recognized by such an inclusion of obsolete words as to give q key to EagIish literature from it's earliest per8id The titIe-words in the vocabulary are more than doub- led in comparison with the old Inter national now exceeding loo, 1000 The book contains more that 27o0 pages.
 But the publishers desire to empha- size the quality rather than the quantity of the work. calling atten- ton especially to the thorough scholar ship in all departments and the fuil- ness of information under imporant titles. By ingenious methods Of typo graphy and arrangementt the increased amount of matter is contained within a single volume not perceptibly liar ger than it's predecessor, and no less convenient for the hand and eye.
