New Land in the Arctic.
rom the New York World.

From the New York World.
There was until yesterday just one
place in all the world where a new
island as large as England, France and
Germany combined could be conceived
OF as existing unknown. 1t is precisely
there that Russian government ships,
returning from exploration of the seas
north of Siberia, report the discovery
of a body of land rivaling Greenland
in extent. While the new island lies in
the extreme latitude of GrinneH Land,
Grant Land and Roosevelt Land. to the
far north and northwest of Greenland,
it may prove to be not without COM
mercial value. The great ocean current
sweeping up past Norway toward 1T
raises the isothermal line of all north
ern Europe and Siberia far above the
corresponding line in British America
and Greenland. Hammerfest is as warm
in summer and in winter far warmer
than Labrador. more than thousand
miles further south. Should any con-
siderable mining wealth be discovered
in the new land. human ingenuity
would doubtless find means of reaching
it for development. OF other yield little
is to be expected in that dreary cline.

"Strongheart."

William C. De Miles noted play,
"Strongheart," will be revived next week
at Polls. 1t tells the story of young
Indian chief who, educated in a big east
ern university and treated as compan-
ion and friend by his fellowstudents and
their families. falls in love with the sis
ter of his white chum. only to discover
the full strength of her family's latent
race prejudice. The earlier scenes of
"Strongheart" show the care-free. happy
life at an American college. Subsequent
episodes depict the tragedy of an attempt
to override race prejudice. In the last
act the young Indian is shown at the
campfires of his tribe. a newly elected
chief of his nation and the bitter enemy
of the dominant white race that has
robbed and prosecuted his people since
the discovery of the western world.

PARENTAGE OF ELEMENTS.
Sensational Researches Which May
Furnish Proof of Transmutation.

The Lancet of London says that re-
searches that are being carried on are
yielding sensational results. suggesting
that the proof of transmutation may be
expected The discovery may follow, 1t
is asserted, that energy is the parent OF
chemical elements.
While there has been no sensational
event or discovery reported in the chem
ica1 world recently, there is one branch
of research being patiently pursued which
promises to give us something more than
a mere glimpse into the nature OF
things judging from the confirmatory
evidence which is being obtained In favor
of the probability of one element being
changed into another by electrical infiu-
ences.
Early in the year some excitement was
caused in scientific circles by the an
nouncement that proof. had been obtain
ed of the conversion of energy into mat
ter, because in old electric bulbs which

Sir: 1t Is only few weeks since we

a worthy national hymn, and only few
days since the organists' convention de-
plored the public taste to religious
