ROMANTIC STORY OF WHEAT
World Being Fed on Grain Grown ." Land That Was Comparatively he-
 gently a Waste.

A direct result of the present war more pleasant to contemplate than the stories of carnage, is the stimulus |" has given to the chief industry or the huge central basin of North America Winnipeg is the geographical ceh'oA of the continent, and from it in every direction in Canada and far down lnto the United States spread the rolllns miles of what is undoubtedly the great est wheat region in the world.
 The figures presented by the Amerf can and Canadian governments for the year just closed tell romantic story. In the area of the Canadian Northwest and of the American border states oOo'- 000,000 bushels of the highest grace wheat known to the markets was grown, and yet within the memory oi men not yet old every acre of IL was given over to the Indian and the buf- falo.
 Long after our Civil war British traveller wrote an exceedingly inter- esting book called The Great Lone Land," describing his struggles with blizZards and starvation in what Is now the wheat empire. He did not think much of it as country for set tiers; but time has quickly shown now much he was mistaken, just as II showed in a few years de Tocqueville s great error when he predicted that our western advance would break against the Rocky mountains, or Mac aulay's miscaleulation when he assert ed that we would cease to grow much as soon as all our good free land was taken up.
 There are many impressive chapters in the story of the continent, but there is none more picturesque than the one which is being made in our day by grain of wheat

A FTER a cruise of more than f.
 h 900 miles through the Arctic H archipelago, during which he
 placed on the map many new Islands. bays and promontories, Capt. Joseph E. Bernier has returned to warmer climes.
 During eleven years of Arctic ex- ploration this hardy skipper has charted over 500,000 square miles of islands in the great northern archipel- ago and has discovered many records of Arctic expeditions, including docu- ments left by ill-fated mariners, and pieces of wreckage, grim reminders Of craft that went down in the Arctic seas, writes c. H. Dorr in the New York Sun.
 Captain Bernier has left record Of his own work in various places to guide future explorers. If Vilhjalmar Stefansson, eader of the Canadian Arctic expedition, now in the polar re- gions, happens to reach Winter liar bor, Melville island, he will find there a substantial cache built several years ago by Captain Bernier, and well stocked with provisions, enough to last him year or more. Captain Bernier established many of these caches or life-saving stations in the polar re- gions, for he knows by experience the needs of Arctic explorers
 Relics of Former Explorers.
 On his last voyage Captain Bernier started from Ponds inlet, BafI1n's is- land, with the exploring ship Guide and crew of ten men and an equip ment including forty dogs and sledges While voyaging through Arctic seas two of his crew found parts of the hull of one of the vessels of Sir Edward

Belcher's squadron. These relics of Arctic disaster were discovered on the north end of Bylott's island, in the Arctic sea-
 Captain Bernier believes that these relics were part of the Pioneer or the Intrepid of Sir Edward Belcher' S squadron. Three vessels in the Belch- CT squadron were not accounted for, the Pioneer the Intrepid and the As sistant. The Pioneer was abandoned in the Arctic and all on board were lost
 Another relic of the Arctic found by Captain Bernier's crew is spear from Sir John Franklin's expedition, which drifted in on the tide in Erebus bay, North Devon island, the bay being named after the Franklin ship Erebus It is wooden spear with iron point and the name Erebus stamped upon it. The spear from the Franklin expedi- ton was probably lost overheard in a storm and drifted, swept on by ice and tide. to Erebus bay. The wreck of the Erebus was found on O'Reilly island, south of Victoria strait, by Els kimos years ago.
 For fifteen days Captain Bernier and members of his Arctic expedition on board the Guide were caught in the ice of Melville bay. in latitude 75. After battling with huge masses of ice drift ing down from the north for two weeks the Guide managed to get free from the ice packs and make her way into the open sea.
 An interesting theory of a route to the pole for a vessel is advanced by Captain Bernier, and is based upon deductions made from his discoveries of relics of marine disasters in the Arctic and study of the polar tides. He believes that, starting from a certain point in the Arctic, ship well equip ped can make the voyage from ocean to ocean and to the Pole.
