plant to be operated by windmills and
ship it north for the use of the Episco-
pal mission at Point Hope, Alaska.
That is in place more than 100 miles
north of the Arctic circle, and the
polar night there is several months
long annually. The wind blows an av-
erage of rs miles an hour, and the
temperature ranges in winter, when
Is the night season, from 35 to % be-
low zero. There are about 400 people
about the mission. Nature provided
them with the long night, but man
has finally agitated enough of his
sense to understand that If he Is go
ing to live there in any kind of COM
fort and preach his gospel to any ap-
preciable effect he must change the
conditions of Nature, must improve on
the natural conditions, must make his
own world to suit his own religion
That is good sense, and as Nature
has provided the winds the process
is comparatively easy.
1t may astonish some people when
they realize that an Episcopal mission
can pay for and have electric lights
in the dark nights while in this coun-
try for the most part still rely on the
candle or the kerosene lamp to light
the homes in which they live and in
the places of business where they earn
enough to give some to the missions
The exigencies of this situation are
more pronounced up there, and that
is why men proceed with more vigor
to change them. The long night Is
intolerable. The men propose to d.
vide it up by making the windmills
create friction to be turned into cleo
tricity for the lighting, and eventually
the heat, of the houses. Rev. A. r.
Hoare, in charge of the mission, is the
prime mover for the lighting. He
might be brought to New England to
advise the people here how to shorten
the long winters by making heat with
windmills. He is evidently a man OF
ideas and action. The north pole has
no terrors for him. He may turn on
the lights which will in time return
that region to it's former tropical eli
mate. There are as many million peo-
pie in this country with poor ligh
as there are hundred up there abou
that polar mission. Not even the pa
ternal government moves to light then
by the simple process of damning the
rivers and turning their force into
electricity. There is a chance to learn
a good deal from the longnight land
where men are preaching the religion
of the world.-Worcester Telegram.

peals for aid and steamed toward the
wreck When the F'rutera's boats were
crushed the Almirante, which was at
Santa Marta, about 40 miles distant,
was called and succeeded in taking of
all the Warriors passengers. The AL
mirante is due to arrive at Colon to-
morrow morning. 1t is understood
the Vanderbilt party will proceed to
New York on the Aimirante. arriving
there February 8.
Nothing was learned tonight re-
garding the fate of the wrecked yacht
and the crew, who remained on board
despite the advice of the owner and
the captains Of the F'rutera and the
Almirante to leave the wreck. The
coast at the scene of the mishap is
dangerous and it is feared the War
rior will be seriously damaged. The
crew probably could get aid easily
from Santa Marta in case the yacht
began to break up.
