ards of them. and many hours after the
shallop had disappeared they we're thrown
into a panic by the fancy that it was in
sight again. They made sail to fly as
from an enemy but they saw the boat
no more. and the cold mists of Hudson's
Bay concealed it's fate as with a veil.
Some time afterward an expedition was
sent from England in search of the de-
serted party, but no trace of them could
be found.
No one has ever learned what became OF
this miserable little boat load. 1t has been
thought by some that they reached shore
and kept themselves alive by fishing and
hunting: but others suppose they per-
ished of hunger and privation. One thing
is certain, none of the party escaped with
their lives for a period Of much length.
otherwise news of their whereabouts
would have reached the civilized world
No reliable tidings of the little partys
fate was ever learned. No one, for a GER
tainty, ever saw the castways after the
Discovery left them to shift for them
selves.
On the homeward voyage Of the mu-
tineers, several Of the ringleaders died.
and only seven of the crew survived to
reach England All were imprisoned. but

no one was hanged.
It was on September 3. one year previ-
Gus totahis leaving England on his fatal
voyage, that Hudson cast anchor in lower
New York Bay. In spite of the many dis
coverfes that brought worldwide fame to
Hudson, very little is known of the man
himself. He was born-no one knows
where or when. He died-no one knows
when or how. As a historian puts 1t: He
came into our knowledge on the quarter
deck Of ship bound for the north pole.
and goes out Of our knowledge IN crazy

To Hendrix Hudson America owes a
deep debt of gratitude He was one of
the most daring Of the early discoveries
who came to our shores. and in many
ways is his name engraven upon the
early history Of our country By strange
fate The name of Hudson is retained by
the river and bay which bears it. but of
the last days and the burial place of the
great discoverer. in spite Of all effort,
nothing definite has ever been learned.
Hudson's chief aim. in his expeditions
of discovery, was to find a short passage
to England. Upon one Of these attempts
he first sailed up the Hudson River in the
Half Moon. Upon his fourth and last
VOYAGE he took a course farther north.
leaving England on April 10. 1910. After
various escapes from being crushed in the
ice. he finally sailed into the bay to the
north that bears his name The following
winter was passed miserably. and his
crew having mutinied, on June IS the
Discovery was stopped by drift ice. and
Hudson was confronted by the rebels
Hudson demanded in a voice Of author
ity:
What does this meanT
Two seamcn sprang toward him. and
at the same instant nc was seized from
behind. and his question was answered
with: You will know fast enough when
you are in the shallop.'
The conspirators bound him. and soon
the shallop was brought alongside the
Discovery and Hudson was hurried
into it. Eight other men were placed in
the boat with the explorer. among them
his son. John, a young man of about
twenty.

Paris Jan. 23-Mme. Curie, who, with
her husband, the late Prof. Pierre Curie.
discovered radium, was defeated to-day
in her candidacy for membership in the
Academy of Sciences. receiving but Is
votes against so for Edouard Brandy.
During the week which preceded the
election by the members of the academy
a marked change took place so far as
the nature of the struggle was concerned
originally it was a mere question OF
feminism, but as time went Oh it came
to be realized that the real issue at stake
was the comparative merits of the two
competitors for honors. In the end this
really decided the matter.
Undoubtedly the claims of Branly were
greatly strengthened when it became
known that he was sixty-five years of
age and had already twice been candi-
date, while Anne. Curie is but forty
three, and might very naturally look for
ward to receiving academic honors in the
future.
1t came as a surprise to many, even
among those who are usually we'll in
formed in such matters, that Brandy S
coherer was such an important factor in
the perfecting of wireless telesraphy that
first aerogram that was sent from Eng
land to France.
Worked with Husband.
Stress was also laid upon the fact that
the first important work OF Nine. Gu
ric was done in collaboration with her
husband, who is now dead. and that
since his death she has been working.
Tot by herself. but in conjunction with
De Bierne. who is a noted scientist and
the discoverer of actinium
There was some opposition TO Brandy
when it became known that he had re-
signed his position with the Sorbonne to
become a professor in a Catholic uni
verSity. This offended the anti-Clerics,
who are strong in the academy. 1t was
suggested that Nine Curie was a Jew
ess. but she announced that she belonged
to a Polish family which had been Cath
Ollie for many generations
When the stated time for the holding of
the election arrived the institute was
crowded but in accordance with imme-
mortal tradition no women were admitted
to the public seats. and only one sue
ceeded in remaining. under the plea that
she was a reporter.
The academy consists of sixty-eight
members, of which number fifty-eight
were in attendance AS a consequence,
thirty votes were necessary to constitute
a majority Two ballots were taken.
