ton will produces but, on the other
hand, the Macmillan expedition, if it
consummates the work laid out, will
bring back information regarding the
interior of a land, which no white
man has ever trod and about which
nothing is known except what the
Esquimaux have reported. To learn
of the nature of the interior of Baf-
fin land and of the strange race of peo-
pie said to inhabit that region will be
more valuable accomplishment than
the locating of the north pole because
the information thus gained can be
put to some useful purpose later on,
Because of this possibility of Sc
curing valuable information, explor-
er Macmillan and his companions will
be followed in thought by large
number of people in the hope that the
expedition will be successful and that
every one OF the explorers will be per-
mitted to return to the United States
after their absence of many months,
perhaps as much as two years. As
they turn their schooner's prov to-
ward the Arctic they have the good
wishes of the United States, govern
ment and people, for attaining the
measure of success which their in
trepidity seems to merit. The good
ship Bowdoin will be awaited with
expectancy.

French postal authorities expected a
substantial reduction in the number OF
letters when they raised the stamp rates
to 25 centimes for interior mails, but
they failed to count on the ingenuity
which has been exercised by one Paris
mail order merchant. 1t is common for
mail order statesmen to scan hotel lists
and directories for the names OF possible
clients to whom they then address cir

coupled with the fact that the police do
not expect TO get a sufficient increase
in their budget to organize a special
