The Polar Problem. A discussion took place at a recent meet- ing of the Royal Geographical Society on the North Polar problem. Sir Clements Markham, president of the society, who occupied the chair, introduced the subject in a comprehensive address. He was dis- posed to regard the whole line of heavy ancient ice pressing upon the shore of the American continent, of the Parry Islands, and of the northern side of Greenland as evidence of a continuous drift from the eastern to the western hemispheres, across an ocean uninterrupted by land of any magnitude. The presence of warmer water in the depths of Nansen’s polar sea was an important discovery. It com- menced 100 fathoms below the surface, and extended down to 250 fathoms. There was still much to be learned. An ex- pedition should be sent up to Jones Sound to connect the 400 miles between Prince Patrick Island and Aldrich’s farthest, and to examine the line of ancient ice in that unknown region. Another expedition should complete the examination of the northern side of Greenland. A third, equipped on Nansen’s plan, should com- mence the drift much further to the east- ward. aud pass over the Pole itself. This would probably occupy four years, but it would bring a further installment of knowledge respecting the depths of the ocean, the current, and temperatures of the vast unknown area, and another series of magnetic observations. It should also decide the question of the existence of land between Prince Patrick and Wrangel Islands. Dr. Nansen, opening the discussion, said they could have great certainty in saying that the Pole must be situated in the deep sea basin. He thought perhaps there were some sinall islands to the north, where the ice drift closed in from time to time in order to get into the layers which were noticed. If it did not form into lay- ers somewhere, he did not think it would take such a time as it did to drift across the polar region. The oldest ice he saw in the polar region was probably of five or six vears of age. The ice which he saw was on an average from ten feet to twelve feet deep, and he did not believe the ice of the polar sea would freeze any thicker. He did not think it was difficult to reach the Pole itself. If they cared forit, they could reach it in one summer. If they took 200 dogs, they could reach it quite certainly, but he did not think it was worth while ; he could not see the importance of it, for they would not bring back sufficient ob- servations, and it would be a waste of time and labor. If they wanted scientific ob- servations from the Arctic regions, there was no better plan than the one he adopted —of going into the ice. The ship was an : excellent ohservatory.

JFINEST ORANGES, LEMONS, BA- NANAS, COCOANUTS, DATES AND FIGS AT SECHLER & CO. to a Handle Bar. The cowboys on R. B. Moseley’s ranch, north of the north fork of the Cheyenne river, are speeding after their master’s herds on hikes. The cow ponies are cating their hands off in his barn-yard, and will not again be called into service until deep snows render the use of the wheels im- possible. Cattlemen have always considered Mose- ley a crank and dreamer of dreams, but they conceded that he had outdone him- self when lhe resolved to furnish a part of | his herdsmen with bicycles, instead of the tough broncos, so characteristic of the *‘cow country.” Moseley, to do him justice, never said the experiment would prove a success. He simply wanted to see it tried. Wheels, he confessed, could hardly be used in winter, nor in cutting out, branding, roping, and turning stampedes. He read some time ago of their introduc- tion into the army, remarked on the testi- i mony of the experts, who said they could {go anywhere that a horse could, and promptly declared they would do for work on the ranges if such statements were true. His men say they have actually done better work in sone cases than with horses. | They are of opinion—and Moseley agrees { with them—that in the long run horse- | flesh discounts them. Still, the margin between the usefulness of the bike and that of the bronco is not a wide one. The | former certainly covers more ground in a day than the latter. It is never vicious, never frightened, and never strays from the spot where the rider leaves it, no mat- ter how long may be his absence. One man who attempted to rope a steer with the end of his lariat tied to his handle bar and was yanked into an ad- joining county, says that the experiment is a flat failure. Another tried to turn a stampeded herd and met with poor success. A pony would have stood its ground while the rider got the frightened animals under control. When the wheelmen saw the maddened herd bearing down on him, how- ever, and realized that he would be direct- ly under their hoofs if he tarried, he turn- ed tail without loss of time and scorched for safety. To the credit of his wheel be it said that he quickly distanced the cattle and escaped.—Chicago Times-Herald. Hardship of Gold Seekers. Says a San Francisco special of July 30th : The story of the hardships encountered on the trail from Dyea to Dawson City is told in the follo ving two letters received by Mrs. Julia Cook, of this city from her hus- band, now in Dawson City, who was more than two months on the road : *“We have been packing our goods ever since the first of the month, when we left Dyea. We carried them from mountain to forth, till we now have the twelve hun- dred or more pounds all here. The moun- tain get steeper as we progress, and fifty pounds at a time are too much for me to carry. Both my feet have given out, and in each leg I have a wound the size of a doilar and a quarter of an inch thick, due to the friction of one leg against the other as I staggered under my load. I have been lying in the tent here for two days un- able to get any further. Others are faring no better, however as there isa fearful blizzard raging about usin the path. May God help us over ! The snow is from six to eight feet deep and the sled tumbles from side to side, going over a rock only to slide down upon our poor bruised bodies, giving us an extra blow as it passes on. ‘Still we are mounting higher and not a word of complaint is heard. It seems to me that each one watches the other, won- dering how he stands the fearful journey. Right opposite the tent there is a mountain about 15,000 feet high and 400 feet wide. Perhaps it hides others and more terrible travels from us.” mountain, traveling incessantly back and | Convulsions. | In convulsions the first thing to do is to | loosen the clothing, so that free respiration | may be had. Cold water should be ap- plied to the head with a sponge and the face gently sprinkled with it. The hot bath, which should be from 87 degrees, in connection with cold applications to the head, is of great service. The child should not be kept in the hot bath more than ten minutes, and while there should be well rubbed with the hand and then dried and rubbed with a warm towel, rolled in a hot blanket and put to bed. When convulsions are caused by the approach of an eruptive fever, such as scarlet fever, measles, etc., the hot mustard bath for the feet or entire body is excellent. If the child can be in- duced to drink hot drinks, it will greatly assist. Usually the practical joker injures somebody else in carrying out his excruci- atingly funny designs. The man who sets fire to the fuse of a giant firecracker held by someone else and kills him, and the boy who pulls a chair from under his mother and causes her to become a cripple for life are not as common a class of humorists as was formerly the case, but some of the same stripe are left. One of them over in New Jersey the other night, tried to scare his wife by pretending to be a burglar. She had more grit than he suppossd and put a bullet in his arm with his own pis- tol. The chances are that he will try some other form of ‘‘joking’’ hereafter, or aban- don that sort of humor altogether. Bicycles. Attorneys-at-Law.

They were grown under as nearly similar conditions of soil. exposure, fertiliz- ers, drainage, culture, etc., as possible, and the yields reported below are from careful weighing of the product of the different plots made at the time of threshing.

It will be no- ticed that the average for the thirty-one va- rieties is 36.81 bushels which is more than twice the average for this State according ing 16.38 bushels. This goes to show the benefit that is derived from proper fertiliza- tion and cultivation in the culture of wheat. Thekind of variety grown has also considerable influence upon the profitable- ness of the crop.

He never knew his parents. He grew up a veritable street arab in the utmost poverty. In 1830 he was sent to Indiana with a car load of waifs.

Kansas City’s stockyards are the second largest in the world, and so far this vear the business done has been greater in amount than ever before for a similar period. During the first six months of i 1897 there were received at the yards, of cattle alone, 750,000 head. During the same period there were received 1,750,000 hogs, 739,385 sheep and 21,592 horses. The great increase in the recipts of cattle and hogs has caused a similar increase the meat-packing business, Kansas City’s greatest industry. —— My typewriter girl complains that in this hot weather her hand sticks to the paper and her back sticks to the chair—"’ “Yes 2 ‘But you ought to see her get up and fly when the clock strikes 6.”’—Chicago Record.

They have made many discoveries, but their greatest achievement was made last year. It is a cordial that contains already digested food and is a digester of food. It is effective in removing distress after eating, and creates an appetite for more food so that eating be- comes a pleasure. Pale, thin people be- come plump and healthy under its use. It arrests the wasting of consumption. There never has been such a step for- ward in the cure of indigestion as this Shaker Cordial.
