DEN MARK.

Christiania, Aug. 19.-Five members
Of Captain Mikkelsen's expedition,
which was wrecked during the winter
on the coast of East Greenland, ar
rived today at Aalesund, Norway, on
board small motorboat.
The Mikkelsen expedition left Cop
enhagen June 80, 1909, in the Danish
Arctic ship Alabama to search for the
bodies Of the Erickson Greenland ex-
petition, two of whose members per.
ished in November, 1907, while trying
to return from the north coast Of
Greenland by way of the inland ice.
The returning explorers report that
Captain Mikkelsen and the engineer
of the Alabama proceeded to North
Greenland after the vessel was
wrecked. The body of one of Erich
sens companions was found on the
ice, but it is supposed Erichsen's body
was carried out to sea by one Of the
ice foes.
The fate of Julius Hansen diver,
was far from creditable to his COM
rades. The company for which
he worked was engaged to save a Dan
iah vessel at the bottom of the Sound
not far from Copenhagen. When
Hansen had been at work for a while
in the wreck the air hose broke. This
was Immediately made known to those
who were above, and they went to
work to pull him up. The depth is
said to have been so feet But when
Hansen came to the surface he was
already dead.

ONCE HOME OF FAMOUS SCHOOL

Ascending the hill slope of Indian Queen lane
one passes over a winding roadway through what
was once thickly wooded grove overlooking the
Ridge road and the Schuylkill river a quaint
cluster Of three houses now joined as one home
stead. A tablet swings from the arch in one OF
It's ancient doorways stating that this was the
home of DR.. Smith, the first provost of the col
lege-afterward the University of Pennsylvania.
Although the structure known in these days
as DR.. Smiths home now has the appearance of
being one large building, 1t comprises what ~as
originally three distinct houses, with quaint
spring houses and outbuildings, the Philadelphia
Inquirer says. The old records show that Dr.
Smith built these three clusters of strange build
ings on the hill nearly opposite the Old Falls tav-
ern, among which was the octagon building and
the vault in which his remains and others of his
family were deposited Immediately on the brow
of the HILL The old ''octagon building" which
created much comment when first built because
of its unusual construction, was called Smiths
Folly In the early days. but its many windowed
recesses were the special delight of the cele
brated university provost.
The residents of the Falls OF Schuylkill find
peculiar satisfaction today In the preservation of
this old landmark because of it's important asso-
citation with the early education of this section
Not only was it the home of DR.. Smith, and made
famous for its connection with the beginnings of

The Swedish exhibits at the inter-

The artillery schools of Sweden are
now using the regular ordinance of

Of course, makes the work as practical
as it possibly could be. But there is
one serious drawback. During the
past season no less than an average
OF 5000 shots were fired from each
ship used. This work put the gear
to severe test, and in many cases
the mechanism Of the guns was bad
ly worn. Indeed, the wear and tear
was so great that it is supposed to
have reduced the fighting capacity of
the guns in case of actual war.

FINLAND,

The. resolution passed by the worlds
peace congress, held in Stockholm,
with regard to the political status of
Finland is met with hostility by part
OF the Russian press. The Novoje
Vremja AYERS that the peace congress
was not entirely peaceful, but that it
convened for the purpose of making
crusade against Russia. The paper is
not worried, however, no matter how
prominent the idle diplomats at Stock
holm may seem to the Finnish press.
The Novoje Vremja finally asks wheth-
err it was diplomatic on the part of
the Swedish minister of foreign af-
fairs to take part in a congress which
encroaches upon questions which no
parliament should permit itself to dis
cuss.
England seems to have protested
against the classification of the pilot
service Of Finland. The British min
lister of foreign affairs has made rep
reservations to the Russian govern
ment with regard to the danger such
a change will cause to the shipping
trade of England in Finnish waters.

Forest estate, took them back to their
Office in Waukegan in his automobile
at the conclusion of their visit and
then voluntarily increased his declara-
ton of personal property assessment

Armour's country estate that listed it's
owners personal property at the orig

that they were not satisfied with the
amount but he stood firm. Afterward
Stager informed Armour Of the boards
attitude, and the result was a letter in
viting all it's members to visit the es-
tate and satisfy themselves as to the
amount that should be assessed.
When the inspection had ended the
packer was asked if he would be will
ing to accompany the board members
to Waukegan. and replied by offering
to take them in his machine. Half an
hour later he was in the county review
er's Office.
On the way he had been asked what
he considered his furniture worth and
had replied he did not know, but that
he thought his entire assessment should
be 100000 and his furniture should
be listed at about $4,000.
When the Office was reached he was
sworn and the one change in his furni-
ture assessment was made, bringing
the total to the present mark.
Besides this, Armour is assessed
1906, 900 on his home and other build
ings. $4,000 on his land and $3,S46 on
minor items, his total assessment being
$433,846 the highest in Lake county.

of Warren county, issued statement
relative to his candidacy and his $42,-

Mr.. Sibley says he left the disburse-
ment Of money to his private secre-
tary, owing to i'll health, and not until
the day Of filing his account was he
aware that he had spent more than
$4,000. But it will be shown, Mr..

spent in conformity with the law.
