seemed to be these strange crea-
lures that made that terrifying noise.
1--WE were very uneasy for many
days and nights until we discovered
that the shadowy shapes which were
everywhere in the woods never did
any harm either to the animals or to
US. Gradually we became accustomed
to their noisy visitations and paid
them no heed
when the first rays of the rising
sun came a great change fell on the
valley. The trees began to turn
green and the flowers turned from
monotonous white to their former
brilliant cOlors. And the dismal
phantoms seemed to have vanished
without leaving any trace that they
had been there. Under the cheering
influence of the Summer sun We be-
gan to think that perhaps our eyes
had deceived us and that what we
had thought phantoms were only
clouds of steam from the mountains

aurora borealis gave a supernatural

This remarkable story told me BY

idea of the strange character of the

THAT the continent contains q

less, everything continued to grow
just the same. The weather slightly
cooler, but there was never a sign
of frost or snow such as was visible
on the mountains. The CHASTITY glow
of the aurora borealis was so bril-
liant that one could see everything
clearly for a long distance. This new
light was sufficient for life.
1--WE would have remained longer
in this strange garden Of the north,
if something had not happened that
filled us with horror. One night
when we had gone to sleep in our
beds of dried grass and leaves we
were awakened by a voice that
roared like thunder. We jumped up
in fright and looked around nut
there was nothing out of the or
binary to be seen, and after a few
minutes the noise ceased. But as
soon as we had gone to bed again
the same voice came groaning louder
than ever.

toms, fitting about among the trees

eve decided to risk it, however,
and began to build a small log cabin
and gather fuel. We built a stove
of rock for cooking our meals. Then
provisions of birds, dried fish and
venison were accumulated system
atically. We we're ready with all
our preparations before the seasonal
sunset, which meant the turning
point of our life. Every moment we
expected snow and a lowering of
the temperature to zero and below,
who can describe our great sur
prise when we found that the cold
of the Winter that ragged everywhere
around was unknown here? Life in
that magic valley went on the same
as during the Summer. The chief
difference was in the foliage, which
became a pale yellow instead of dark
green. The blossoms of the Winter
flowers were mostly gray or white,
and the grass had a corresponding
colorless appearance. But, neverthe

stronger grew this peculiar feeling.
The frozen peaks seemed to emanate
an uncanny odor.
I'VE sailed for days along the coast
of the new land. While everything
along the southeastern shore gave
the impression of land covered with
everlasting snow and ice, yet, as we
went farther toward the north, the
climate became more moderate and
we saw traces of plant and animal
life.
All our theories of scant vegeta-
ton in the Arctic regions went to
pieces when we met a party of five
Iakut hunters who were on their
way back to Siberia Sheitan, the
leader of the party, proved to be a
man of experience and considerable
intellect who also spoke fluent Rus
sian. At first he was taciturn and
suspicious of us, but when he learned
that we were only scientists he ne
came quite friendly, especially to me,
and told me that there was a spot on
the desolate continent which was in
habited not only by various strange
animals, but by what he super
stitiously termed ghosts He showed
me fur that he had made of white
foxes and another of the plumes of
what he called Arctic ostriches'
which he had shot in that region.
"Sheitan showed us shells of trans
parent crystalline appearance which
he said were the egg-shells of pc
culiar birds found on this new con-
tinent. They were as thick as the
shells of an oyster and as large as
swans eggs. These birds, he said,
had no feathers, but long snow white
hair, According to his description
the birds had feet like the ostrichs
and very small wings which they
tapped in the air when they ran.
With the exception of an Arctic
eagle, which he described as OF an
abnOrmally large size, he could not
tell us anything further Of animal
life of the continent.
However. he said there were deep
valleys and high mountains, some Of
which smoked like huge chimneys,
while others had wells of boiling
water. Around that region he had

~ TUDENTS of insanity are discov-
ering that the illogical and
fantastic pictures which many
lunatics are fond of drawing are val
liable indications OF patients state
of mind and may be Of considerable
assistance to physicians in diagnos-
ing the character and extent Of
mental disease.
AS with drawings made by chill
dren, far more is to be learned from
a lunatic's drawings than from his
speech or writing, because the draw
ing is more spontaneous and a more
accurate revelation of the action of
the mind. The previous ability Of
the insane is, of course, taken into
consideration, for the variation from
the normal is directly related to the
usual or normal state, and the artist
when insane may do things that the
man or woman who never did any
artistic work before can not do.
For example, in a German asylum
is a man who was formerly a sue
cessful artist. But the pictures he
now tries to draw are the worst
crudities, with less form and reason
than even a child in the kindergar-
ten would be able to show. This in
dicates plainly how seriously af-
fected he is both in perception and

0 who is now on his way back to
civilization after an extended trip of
exploration through the Arctic re-
gion, has just cabled the announce
ment that he has discovered a new
continent in the frozen North. He
took possession of the land in the
name of the Gar and christened it

Further details of the discovery
are awaited with keen interest, for
the question of what, if any, land re-
manned to be discovered in the Arc
tic regions has long been a subject
of debate with explorers, map
makers, meteorologists and other
scientists.
Commander Wilkitzky's cable dis
patch gives only the bare fact of
his important discovery, but interest
ing details concerning it are con-
tanned in a letter sent by one of his
aides, Lieutenant V. Petroff, to a
brother in America. This letter was

growing as they do in southern
climes. This is what he told ms
of his last journey;
1--WE had seen the smoking
mountains from distance on two
previous occasions. But we had
never dared to approach them, for
there is an old story that smoking
mountains are the abodes of evil
spirits. We heard a hollow rum
bling from the direction of the
peaks, as if the armies of inferno
were engaged in fierce battle. We
prayed and turned around. When
we saw them for the third time, We
did not hear any roar, and after
many hours Of meditation we de
cided to explore them.
"'Our way was very difficult, as
we had to skirt yawning precipices,
climb steep rocks covered with ice
and cross rivers of steaming water.
But when we arrived at the summit
of one of the peaks we beheld on
the other side a wide green valley
hundreds Of miles in extent. 1t
looked like a fairyland to us after
so many weeks of snow and ice.
There we're huge trees with queer
shaped leaves and many were in
bloom. The air was warm and
balmy. Small rivulets of warm
water ran down from the steam
ing mountains where snow-clad
peaks stretched high above the
clouds, In spite of the external
Winter that prevailed outside, there
seemed to be everlasting Summer in
the valley itself. Many of the trees
had fruit and nuts that tasted delici-
Gus, and deer were feeding here and
there. None of the animals in that
wonderful land of eternal green
seemed to be afraid of man. We

which is very rare at this season of
