WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Com-
mander Robert Peary, the discover
er of the North pole. will not be
given the rank of Rear Admiral in
the navy, as was proposed in recog-
milton of his services as an ex-
plorer, if congress approves the ac-
tion of the subcommittee of the
house committee on naval affairs.
The house subcommittee voted to-
day to report adversely on the bills
offered by Senator Hale and Repre-
sentative Allen.
A letter from Secretary Meyer
was received by the naval commit
tee giving Peary's naval record
stating he should be designated as
a civil engineer" not "com-
mander." Meyer said Peary had
enlisted in the navy on October 26
1881, and that he has had more
than ten years of various leaves
of absence. The secretary spoke
of Pearys discovery of the North

pole as self-imposed but most
commendable task, having no mill
tary or naval significance, and rec
commended that Peary be retired
as a civil engineer with the pay of
retired admiral.
Representative Roberts of Massa-
chusetts, a member of the sub
committee, saw no reason for con-
ferring such an honor as .contem-
plated upon Peary. ''His discovery
of the North pole" said Roberts,
''has been of absolutely no benefit
to the United States, civilization or
the naval service, as far as / can
see. He has been absent from duty
in the naval department most of the
time he has been connected with
it. He has done nothing to entitle
him to this honor and / do not
think he is entitled to it," Contin-
uing Roberts said if Peary's friends
wanted to give him a gold medal
or something of that sort, he wai
in favor of it.

Every youth, according to them, is

They designate the Sargents, the

young optimist, that he too may be-
come the highest exponent of art,
science or opulence if he only ex-
erts himself to the utmost. Oh, the
immensity Of that ''iif!'' With great
show of wisdom they declare that
genius" is only another name for
patience, and quote Newton to prove
it when he said that if he differed
from other men, it was only iu pa

that the faculty of patient labor was
the very essence of Newton's s genius,
and continuity and concentration
of thought are in exact proportion,
to the size and vitality of the think

What person DOES is the real
test Of what a person IS, and to prate
about the mighty things one would
accomplish if he had more mental
activity, is to say how much taller

cious notion that will can do the
work of intellect, that effort can
supply genius, and that intensity of
desire is potent to effect the desid-
