THE NORTHEAST PASSAGE.
Only Two Expeditions Succeeded In
Getting Through II.


Most attempts of European countries
to find a comparatively short passage
from the Atlantic to oriental countries
were by way Of the northwest passage,
north of America, because, having first
tried the northeast passage. north OF
Europe and Asia, and in every instance
having met with dire failure, they con
centrated attention upon the northwest
passage as probably more feasible.
Practically all the arctic expeditions
from Sir John Ross to Sir John Frank
lin were fitted out most of all to find
the northwest passage. The passage
was found during the search for the
lost party of Sir John Franklin, but
it was never traversed by ship till
Amundsen took his little boat, the
Gjoa, through it In August, 1905.
The attempts to make the northeast
passage began with. the hardy Dutch
sailor Barents in 1895, whose party
was the first to spend the dark winter
night In the arctic Sin most create
cold and extreme miserie." The only
achievement of the northeast passage
prior to Vilkitski's success in 1914-1J
was by Baron A. E. Nordensjold, who
sailed from Tromsoe with his Swedish
expedition in June, 1878, triumphed
over the great obstacle of Cape Chel-
yuskin and was within 120 miles OF
Bering strait when winter closed upon
him. He entered Bering strait in July
1879, thirteen months from the time he
sailed.-Cyrus G. Adams in New York

SENDING A MAN BY MAIL.
IL 10 Quite Possible Under British
Parcel Post Rules.

The parcel post has made its useful
ness felt in many ways, unexpected as
well as foreseen. But the English par
Gel post does one surprising thing that
has not yet been introduced into our
own system.
An Englishman wished to reach a
customer living in remote part Of
BALKAN, one of the suburbs of London,
and it was very necessary that he find
him quickly. Knowing nothing Of the
district, he called at the general post
Office at st. Martin s-le- Grand to con.
suit a directory. On explaining his
ease to clerk he was amazed to learn
that he could be sent to the address
by parcel post by paying a fee Of
threepence a mile.
The gentleman had never heard Of
such a thing, and it is said that very
few uersons in England know that it
