EXPECT CURRENTS TO ASSIST THESI
liONDON, Sept 5. At a meeting of "Det
Nori-ke Geografiske Belskab," held at
Christiania, Dr. Hansen expressed his views
concerning Arctic research, and stated his
reasons for having-determined on endeavor
ing to reach the North Pole in a manner
and by a route which have hitherto only
Iteen attempted on one occasion.
It was in 1879 that the ill-fated Jeanuette
expedition tailed to the Bering Sea in the
hope of finding a more or less open water
way, caused by the warmth of the Japanese
fiirrent, which, flowing through the Bering
Strait, pas:.es northward along the east
coat of "Wraogel Land, possibly extending
t j the pole itself, the experience of whalers
being that when-compelled to abandon their
thips in those waters these invariably
drifted northward, thus indicating that the
prevailing currents flowed in a northerly
direction.
The failure of other expeditions -which
had attempted to reach the pole from the
Atlantic on either side of Greenland, and
subsequently the loss of the Jeannette, in
duced Dr. Nansen to study the
MOVEMENTS OF THE ICE,
as well as the present known ocean cur
rents, so a to proceed with instead of
tgainst their flow, lie also came to the
conclusion that where the ice has invariably
hindered an advance northward in an or
dinary ship, or crushed it to pieces, that by
going with the stream in a specially con
structed ship which, when pressure took
place, would lift and lie on the surface
tte!l, the ice should be the motive power
which should bear the ship and expedition
to the pole, pa'-t it, and finally discharge its
burden into the East Greenland Sea at
about 80 north latitude.
Thus, instead of opposing the natural
forces, he would make use of them as a
means of locomotion. In his study of the
ocean and ice currents he has been ably
assisted by various men of science, notably
Profs. Molin and Storm, -f Christiania. IJa
order to prove the feasibility of his theory
Dr. Xansen has produced various interest
ing facts, from which one must presume
that it is correct. The facts are mostly con
veyed to us by inanimate objects and relics
of "the dead
A LESSOX FEOM THE JEANNETTE.
Dr. Hansen concludes that it has been
clearly p roved that the route by Baffin's Bay
is impracticable, as is that adopted by Parry
in 1827. lor the latter, alter reaching 82
43' found that the movement of the ice
was so great that he could not advance as
quitkly north as it bore him south.
The Jeannette expedition is the only one,
in hi (Dr. Xansen's) opinion, which had
hit U410U the correct theory of attaining the
object, in view. This opinion is founded on
the following facts. The doctor says:
"'Jeanuette drifted for two years in the ice
from AVnmgel Land to the 2ew Siberian
Islands. Three years after the ship had
gone down to the" north of these there were
found a number of objects on the drift ice
near Julianehaab, on the southwest coast of
Nreenland, -which, from unquestionable
marks mut have belonged to the sunken
c;seland been frozen in the ice.
"Among these numerous objects which
were first found bv the Eskimo (Bee
Danske Geografisk Tidsskrift, 18S5') may
he specially named the following:
THE KELICb OF THE DISASTER.
"A list of stores with De Long's, the com
mander of Jeannette, own signature. A
list in writing of the Jeannette's boats. A
pair of oilskin breeches marked Louis
Noros. the name of one of Jeannette's crew
bo was saved. The peak of a cap with
the name F. C. Nindemann, the name of
one of the crew who was saved. Which
way, then, had the floe (on which these
were found) reached the west coast of
Greenland? Professor Jlohn had already
in liS4, in a lecture given at a meeting of
the Christiania Videnskabsselskab (Society
of Science) demonstrated the acceptability
of the theory that it could not have come
otherwise than past the pole. Through
Smith's Sound it could not have come, as
the current thence runs down the west side
of Baflin'b Bay, and in such a case it would
be carried to ISafhn's Land or Labrador-and
not to the west coa-t of Greenland.
"Along the coast the current runs north
ward and is a continuance of the Greenland
polar current which runs down (southward)
alous the east coast of Greenland, rounds
(Uijie Farewell and proceeds upward (north
ward) along the west coast. Only by such
a current could this floe have arrived." Dr.
Xn.tn likewise pointed out (according to
the known currents and the experiences of
the Tegethoff expedition) the impossi
bility of its naving driited along
THE NOETH COAST OF SIBKKIA,
south of Franz Joseph Land, and through
the sound between this and Spitzbergen. Dr.
Nant-en then showed that the distance from
the New Siberian Island's to the 80th degree
of latitude on the east cost of Greenland was
1.300 geographical miles; from this spot to
Julianehaab 1,540; together a distance of
','JO0 miles. The floe drifted this distance
in 1,100 days: therefore had an average speed
of 2.C knots a day.
Dr. Nansen pointed out, however, many
other known instances to prove that a cur
rent flows past the pole from Bering Sea
on the one side to the Atlantic on the other.
Soaif years ago Dr. Kink, then Governor
of the Danish settlement, Godtliaab, in
Greenland, procured from a native a casting
stick, with which the Eskimo are wont to
hull their bird darts, which he had found
among the driftwood. This was entirely
different from those employed bytheGreen
ianders, and was found to "be similar to the
casting sticks used by the Eskimo in some
parts of Alaska, and this must be conveyed
uy a current which is as vet unknown in its
entirety, but must be presumed to flow very
close to the pole or to a point between it
and Franz Joseph Land.
THE COUESE OF DBIFTWOOD.
Again, the driftwood which is found
along the east and west coast of Greenland
is of a Siberian character, consisting of the
Siberian larch, a species of northern red
pine (probably picca obovata), a species of
alder (alnusincaua), and a species of poplar
(populus tremula), or common aspen, all of
which species are met with in Siberia, and
f.uch quantities of driftwood come ashore
along the coasts of Greenland that it must
be presumed that it is conveyed there
by an unvarying or steady current. That
this likewise has been to the pole, or in its
neighborhood, may be assumed from the
fact that the Siberian wood lias been met
with rortli of Spitzbergen in the south-going
current against which Parry combated
in vain.
Taking everything into consideration,
one cannot but arrive at the conclusion that
a current flows past some point between the
pole and Franz Joseph Land from the
Siberian ice-encunibercd waters toward the
V.a vwfaoir 1 UitmiUUU. Xi. -.aUSCU iil&U
points out that the Gulf Stream, the depths
of the ocean and the prevailing winds and
atmosphere pressures would tend to cause
1 such a current as he treats of.
THE FLAtf IN DETAIL.
Reference to the vessel, its crew and ap
pointments may be made in Dr. Kansen's
own words: "Shortly, my plan is as fol
lows: I intend to build a vessel as small
and strong as possible, just large enough to
hold coal and provisions for 12 men for five
yearb. A vessel 0 about 170 tons (gross)
will probably suffice. It shall have engines
powerful enough to give it a speed of six
knots, and, besides, be fully rigged for sail
ing. The most important thing about this
vessel is that it will be built on such a prin
ciple as to withstand the pressure of the
ice. It side must be made so sloping that
when the ice packs it cannot get a fast hold
of it, as was the case with the Jeannette
and other vessels -which have conveyed
Arctic expeditions, hut instead will raiseit
up. No great change of construction will
be needed. Notwithstanding Jeannette's
absurd unpractical? form, she withstood
the pressure for about two years. With
such a vessel and a crew of 10, or at the
most, 12 strong and picked men, together
with an equipment for five years as good in
every respect as can be procured for loveor
money, it is my opinion that the enterprise
is well assured. With this vessel we shall
advance through Bering Straits and west
ward along the north coast of Siberia toward
the New Siberian Islands as early in the
summer as the ice permits.
AWAITING THE PEOPEB TIME.
"Arrived at the new Siberian Islands,
-time must be employed to the best advan
tage in investigating the nature of the cur
rents and conditions of the ice, and thus
await the most favorable moment for ad
vancing to the furthest in open water,
which will probably occur in August or the
beginning of September. When the suit
able time arrives we shall plow our way
into the ice northward as far as we can.
Then we shall choose a spot and moor the
vessel securely between suitable floes and
let the ice pack around it as much as it
pleases the more the better; the ship will
be thereby lifted and remain lying there
secure and fast. From this moment the
current will take charge of the transport"
As regards the duration of the transit of
the vessel from this point, Dr. Nansen esti
mates it at two years, based on the time tho
Jeannette relics took to travel andon the
ascertained movement of the ice, some
where about 24 knots a day. In the event
of the destruction of the vessel, Dr. Nansen
has no fear as to the results of taking to the
boats, and points out numerous instances in
which, under such circumstances, but little
risk was incurred. The ship's complement
will consist of 12 men, all told, of whom
three would be qualified to undertake scien
tific observations, etc
COST OP THE EXPEDITION.
Such is Dr. Nansen's plan for the expedi
tion, which is now an established fact. He
estimates its cost at 300,000 kroner (about
16,700), of which the Storthing has voted
a grant of 200,000 kroner (about 11,420),
Dr. Nansen being promised the remainder
from other sources. The present intention
is to leave Norway in February next, so as
to reach Bering Straits by June of the
year.
Dr. Nansen himself considered that a
vessel with sides sloping downward to the
keel, like the letter V, would be one not
only of novel construction, but of the only
practical form for raising or lifting when
subject to side pressure by ice. This idea
has been overruled by the marine architects
as unsuitable, and a design for a more ordi
nary but excessively strong type of vessel
has beenapproved of, and the ship is now
under course of construction in the yard of
Mr. Archer, an English gentleman, at
Lauvrik. Dr. Nansen himself is occupied
in making the other arrangements, and
there is every prospect of the expedition
being fitted out in as perfect a manner as
possible ere it leaves for the unknown world
in the Arctic seas.
AN OLD GREENLAND EXPEDITION.
The interest which Lieutenant Peary's
Arctic expedition is universally exciting,
naturally recalls the fact that Greenland has
already been crossed once before. The char
acter of the place presented, for a long time,
an interesting subject for geologists. The
material and information which it promised
to aftord on the theory of glacial action in
the moulding of the earth's surface might
prove inestimable, while no successful ex
pedition had yet been accomplished before
1888. Nordenskiold had attempted to cross
the "inland ice" in 1870, and in 1883 had
succeed in penetrating some distance of the
place. But he still held, in common with
others, that Greenland was not wholly cov
ered with ice. It took Fridthjof Nansen,
who was endowed with the love of advent
ure, to demonstrate to the world that
Greenland was one vast country, of which
lowland and upland were entirely covered
with one mass of snow.
Nansen was known in his own country,
Norway, as an accomplished "skilober,"
the art of traversing snow and ice on the
long wooden runners known as "ski."
PREPARING TO CBOSS THE ICE.
Nansen was convinced of the fact that
skillful "skilobern" could manage to trav
erse the inland ice, and he resolved to un
dertake the arduous enterprise. Funds
were supplied by private generosity, men
were found ready to accompany him in his
adventures, and the old Viking spirit was
revdved again at the prospect of achieving
an undertaking which few had ever dared
to hazard before.
When completed in his outfit, Nansen, in
company of three other Norwegians and
two Laps, set out on July 17? 1888, from the
Jason, expecting to make his way easily to
the shore. He started purposely from'the
east coast, contrary to the traditions of
Arctic expeditions, because, in his calcula
tions, he came to the conclusion that if he
started from the west his route would have
to be retraced.
Their first attempt of drifting toward
shore was unsuccesstul, while their position
was perilous. Ten days of terrible strife
acd anxiety elapsed before the conditions
had changed in favor of their effecting any
landing at all, and they reached the shore
240 miles south of the point at which they
aimed.
HOSPITALITY OP THE NATIVEsL
Two weeks of strenuous work, of assidu
ous application, it took them before they
could reach any place where traces of hie
could ' be found, but they were rewarded
with the kindliest of receptions possible.
which makes Nansen emphasize in his book-
by saying that "a smiling face is the Eski
mo's greeting to a stranger."
On August 15 they resolved to attempt
the crossing of the inland ice. The boats
were abandoned and they began the ascent
of the eastern slope. The perils which they
were exposed to were frequent and fatal. Cre
vasses abounded in the ice everywhere around
them, and Nansen exclaims repeatedly in
surprise that they never fell lower than
their armpits.
After several days of incessant and ex
hausting climbing the party found them
selves in a region where the descent was
less steep and perilous. Three days of con
tinuous rain had arrested the progress of
their expedition. During this time their
rations were lessened, the outlook assumed
a gloomv color, the Laps read their Testa
ment, while the Norwegian gentlemen were
occupied in studying their "Nautical Al
manac. "
On the 2Sfh of August the rain ceased,
and in order to reach the southerly settle
ment of Goltrab, they availed themselves
of a favorable wind, and tried to sail their
sledges, two abreast. As the wind soon
dropped they had to resume their work of
hauling.
A VAST PLAIN OF SNOW.
On the 31st they got the last glimpse of
"land," when they soon found themselves
before an interminable waste of snow cov
ered surface. So thick is the layer of snow
there, that the character of Greenland's
landscape, which has been demonstrated to
be as mountainous as Norway, presents one
horizontal plateau.
Their toils and struggles were gradually
exhausting their energies, especially when
their courage was sapped by the want of
proper food, which rapidly began to tell on
their capacity for endurance.
The continuation of their journey re
quired greater caution. The slope was in
erepersed with crevasses. They proceeded
byoonlightj.when the panorama of glit
tering snow, thrown into beautiful relief by
the dark borders of land, incited them to
more arduous perseverance till, on the 24th
orSeptember, they reached land again, and
they recognized that their efforts were ire
warded with success.
They had traversed 150 miles of danger
ous and hitherto impassable territory: they
had crossed, for the first time, the inland
ice, and on September 28 Nansen and Seve
drup embarked for Gothab, which they
reached on the 3d of October.
AN ANTARCTIC QUEST.
THE EXPEDITION OF AN AUSTRALIAN
GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.
Only Two Men, Boss and D'Urville, Have
Ever Set IToot on Antarctic Soil Seas of
Ice Floes and Dense Fog A Burning
Mountain Amid Frozen Solitudes.
While theTeary and Nansen expeditions
are seeking the North Pole in 1892 a vessel
sent out by the Geographical Society of
Australia will be plowing the frozen seas of
the Antarctic Circle with a sturdy crew
animated with a hope of obtaining for
science some information about the equally
mysterious South Pole. Marcus G. Mor
rison contributes to the London Dally
Graphic the following interesting account of
the expeditions of the past and the quest of
1892:
This latest ; expedition, which was first
mooted, I believe, at the Aberdeen meeting
of the British Association in 1885, and then
taken up by the Geographical Society of
Australasia, will be the sixth attemp't to
penetrate beyond the icy barrier which, like
a huge rampart, guards the mysteries of
these regions, except off he steep escarp
ments of Victoria Land and other portions
of land with high mountains close to the
seashore. Captain Cook was the first navi
gator whose eyes looked forth on an Antarc
tic icescape. In his expedition of 1772-5 he
forced his vessel through the drift ice, and
reached the parallel of 70 degrees south, a
distance of about 1,400 miles from the South
Pole, Since his time these dreary, inhos
pitable shores have been visited by the ex
peditions of Bellingshausen in 1819-21,
D'Urville in 1837-40, Wilkes in 1838-42,
Boss in 1839-43, and the ship "Challenger"
inlS74.
THE WEAKEST APPROACH.
In addition to the information brought
home by these brave navigators, many
whalers and sealers have contributed their
quota to the existing state of our knowledge
concerning the earth's surface within the
Antarctic Circle. The nearest approach to
the South Pole was reached by Sir James
Boss in February, 1841, when he attained
the latitude of 78 south, a distance over
800 miles from the Pole. His farther ad
vance was checked by the barrier of ice,
which was here found to be from 1C0 to 200
feet in height, and extending in an east and
west direction for hundreds of miles. Al
though it takes nothing from the credit of
tms doiu ana enterprising man, it may be
stated that Boss was the only Antarctic
navigator who had ships properly fortified
to withstand the shocks and pressure of ice
incidental to Southern exploration. The
next farthest was reached by a whaler
named Weddell, who in 1823 penetrated to
74 11' south, with open water still ahead
and only four icebergs in sight, but as he
was in these high latitudes simply for busi
ness purposes and not for scientific investi
gation, he failed to take advantage of his
opportunity. The only two men who have
ever set loot on Antarctic soil are Boss and
D'Urville, but their stay on shore was
necessarily brief, owing to the great diffi
culty of bringing their ships to anchor
among the numerous icebergs.
CHARACTERISTICS OP THE SEA.
The Antarctic seas are well known to
whalers for their sharp gales of north and
northwest winds, and the difficulty of navi
gating these ice-bearing seas is intensified by
dense fogs which so frequently obscure sur
rounding dangers; and the almost constant
precipitation'of rain and snow also tends to
increase the miserable surroundings of
those ill-fated mortals whose lot in life
marks them out to battle with the elements
so far from comfort and civilization. To
accentuate by contrast tho extreme cold
ness and loneliness of these dreary wastes,
nature lias bestowed upon it a brilliant
burning mountain over 12,000 feet in height
which has been named Mount Erebus. It is
situated in 78 degrees south latitude, near
thesupposed location oC the southern mag
netic pole. A peculiarity of the Antarctic
zone is the fact that the vegetable kingdom
has no representative, not even a lichen or
piece of seaweed growing on the rocks, and
no land animals have been observed. The
Antarctic regions are remarkable for the
uniformity of their low temperature.
IMAGINATIVE MAPS.
A few of our imaginative geographers
have created a vast Antarctic continent, as
extensive as Australia or the United States,
out of the actually discovered bits of land
met here or there on the outer fringe of the
ice barrier, and near the parallel of 07
south; and some of them, carried away, no
doubt, by their patriotic enthusiasm, have
even gone the length of coloring it pink to
denote British territory. But whether it be
land or water which snrrounds the South
Pole, there is. unanimous belief that it is
covered with an immense sheet of snow and
ice, hundreds, or perhaps thousands of feet
deep, and occupying an area of over 3,000,
000 of square miles. One of the objects of
the present expedition will be to determine,
if possible, the nature" and thickness of this
vast ice cap. The rocks, where thev have
been examined, are of volcanic origin,
though the Challenger dredged up from the
floor of the Antarctic ocean many oozy
specimens of other rocks supposed to be
washed down into the comparatively
shallow sea from the alleged continent.
The icebergs broken off from the edge of the
great ice cap are immense flat-topped,strati-ned,
table-shaped structures of a nearly
uniform height of 175 feet; but one has been
seen that reached a height of 500 feet and
extended four or five miles in length.
THE EXPEDITIONARY PERIOD.
Hitherto the expeditions these regions
have not usually started till the middle of
December, and have rarely attained their
highest latitudes until the advanced season
and the consequent rapid formation of
young ice warned them to retire. As most
people know, December, January and Feb
ruary form the Southern summer months,
but the Antarctic has this advantage over
the Arctic regions that it can be ap-
Sroached, circumnavigated and surveyed
uring the whole year. The Challenger is
the only steam vessel that has yel furrowed
the surface of the ocean beyond the 60 par
allel of south latitude, but she is quite un
protected tor ice work. It is the intention
of the organizers of this new expedition to
navigate in a vessel with good steam and sail
power, especially lifted up for the work
peculiar to these regions, the hull and pro
peller being strongly protected; but the
smallness of the sum raised for the purposes
of the expedition will preclude any dis
coveries of a sensational character. It will
majnly devote itself to the thorough ex
amination of certain portions of these
regions already known, and will also inves
tigate the facilities for turning sperm oil
into a paying business concern. It may
help to settle, no doubt, some vexed ques
tions and enrich geography, oceanography,
meteorology and other branches of physical
science, but until the Home Government
sees its way to contribute about 150,000
toward the expenses of a properly equipped
exploring expedition under the leadership
of an experienced Arctic explorer, we
cannot hope for much increase of knowl
edge. Confirmed.

THE PITTSBUEG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER
FOOLING THE HORSES.
How the Dumb Animals Are Duped
Into Eating Adulterated Food.
OAT HULLS USED IN PLACE OP CORN
Many Fancy Brands of Flour Are Mixed
filth White Corn Meal.
IT ADDS GREATLI TO THE APPEARANCE
All the rascality in trade nowadays is not
confined to those who manufacture coffee
beans. Foryears there have beon regularly
made and sold in this city, and, of course,
in others also, large quantities of bogus
chopped feed; that is, bogus in part, being a
cheat not only on the buyer, but the dumb
brute who can only advertise his wrongs by
showing his bones. P. X. Weixel called
the writer's attention to the matter a year
or two ago, but in the rush of events it was
forgotten until the other day when A. M.
Marshall exhibited samples of oat hulls,
which are a regular article of com
merce palmed off by rascals on an
unsuspecting public An examination of
the stuff will show what Mr. Marshall
asserts respecting it to be true, viz., that
there isn't nourishment enough in a ton of
it to maki a repast for a canary bird, and
yet it is foisted upon the public by thou
sands of tons es feed.
Corn is of itself not only too heating to
feed extensively to working animals, but it
also tends to make fat rather than musole,
while oats is a muscle maker, and conse
quently in great request for horse feed.
But as oats at retail cost now about 1
cents a pound, while corn costs half a cent
less, consumers buy the chop feed, suppos
ing that they are thereby getting a mix
ture of oats and corn, and here is
where the villains get in their work. Mil
lers without conscience are furnished with
oat-hulls which they grind with corn, an'd
the resultant mass can only be detected by
an expert.
ROBBING THE HOBSES OF THEIR FLESH.
It is bad enough to thus cheat the buyer,
but what punishment is severe enough
for the unscrupulous who thus cheat the
poor laboring, d.umb brute out of the sus
tenance his owner supposes he is giving
him. "Dreams," Bays the novelist poet,
"are the bright creations of poem and
legend, who sport on earth in the night sea
son, and melt away in the first beaming
of the sun, which lights grim care and
stern reality on their daily pilgrimage,"
but it is doubtful if the hungry, tired horse
enjoys the luxury of a dream as he is but
a light sleeper even when fed to repletion,
and the man who would cheat him is meaner
than was the proprietor of Dothebov'sHall
lor his victims could talk while the horse
cannot. These hulls have no more nutri
ment in them than so much chaff and if you
pour water on this chop they stand up and
give the appearance of the genuine article,
such as the "diluted pincushions" fed tho
hogs by Wackford Squeers. The hulls are
the refuse of oatmeal factories of all kinds.
Of course they can be sold cheaply and yet
afford a profit to all concerned, except the
buyer and the horse.
There is another fraud which is exten
sively practiced, even by some dealers who
stand high up in business and society. That
is the adulteration of certain low grades of
flour by the admixture of kiln-dried
white cornmeal. This is not quite so bad
as the oat-hull fraud, as the flour fraud is
practioed on humanity, which ought to have
sense enough to drive rascals out of the
market by exposing them.
HORSES ARE NOT THE ONLY DUPES.
The addition of the white Indian meal
not only Improves the appearance of the
flour, but keeps tho bread moist much
longer than it would otherwise be, but it is
deleterious from the fact that the cornmeal
does not cook as quickly as the wheat flour,
and in consequence is a stomachic irritant.
Were it not unhealthy it would be only a
cheat. Verily the wise man voioed the
wisdom of many ages of experience when he
said: "He that makoth haste to be rich
shall not be innocent."
As to a remedy, Mr. Marshall says an
expert man shonld be appointed inspector
and that he should not only be a man of
probity, but one removed as far as possiqle
from practical politics. The great cause of
these frauds, he states, is the rage to get up
everything as cheap as possible. It might,
be added, by way of explanation, also that
the large increase of fraud in the last 30
years is largely owing to the constantly in
creasing idea that people to be anybody
must make a living without manual labor.
While this country Is overrun with the
spawn of Old World prison galleys, it is
almost impossible to get intelligent men to
do common manual labor. Instead of
standing out manfully and earning an
honest living by hard knocks
and sturdy independence, that made
almost every American boy 40 years ago
expect to be a proprietor himself in time,
the bulk of the present generation has come
to look upon ordinary employment as
menial, and" monopoly has assisted in creat
ing this opinion. Those who have not ca
pacity to lift themselves either by educa
tion or talent have settled down to be mere
drudges, without any controlling or even in
fluencing power in the management of their
affairs. Clerks no longer, as a rule, become
proprietors, and young men of ambition who
spurn the old-fashioned initial progress in
life, are largely forced bv sharp competition
to be genteel swindlers, if not worse.
-WHY DUDE CLERKS SELDOM RISE.
Seven-dollar-a-week clerks cannot con
sume the products of the country, as their
income is only sufficient to afford the imita
tion of purple aud fine raiment, and those
who do try to make a living by honest, la
borious effort are eaten up by speculators
and swindlers of all kinds.
With corn and oats chop made largely of
oat hulls; pepper largely of rice hulls and
corn husks, mustard of cornmeal .mixtures,
grated horse radish, half turnips, cream
tartar, 75 per cent gypsum, flour part white
cornmeal, five-dollar-a-gallon whisky, a
poisonous decoction that costs less than a
dollar; beer and wines that are similarly
fixed up and a thousand other food adulter
ations, the wonder is not that disease and
degeneration abound, but that the race does
not show signs ol becoming extinct. Doubt
less onr ancestors had grave faults, but
compared with the present genera
tion they could not adulterate
worth speaking of. Civilization is defined
as the creation of wants, but surely the in
telligent want of the present generation
cannot be poisoning or starvation. Food
and clothing are not too cheap, nor is the J
marKei overstocked. j.ne irouDie is tnat
millions are unable to find the means to
'comfortably feed and clothe themselves and
they buy that -which is cheap and nasty."
At present babies are starved by being
fed on watered milk. The sick die on ac
count of lack oi potency in drugs, and really
it looks as though the survival-of-the-fittest
will prove the fittest to be those who are

New Tore, Sept. 15. Speckd. Three more
dressmakers who returned to New York on
the French steamship La Bretagne, came to
the conclusion to-day that Customs Inspec
tor Stony was a mean tiling. Five trunks
belonging to them were held for duty. Mrs
K. Bough owned one, Miss A. Lacord, of 14
East Twentieth street, owned three- and
Miss H. Stack owned another. A
trunk belonging to Mrs. L. G. Quin
lan, of New lork, was also seized and held
until Mr. Quinlon, who Is a well-known
broker, appeared on the scene. In the
trunk were a number of di-esses with deli
cate silk linings that looked as if they bad
never been worn. Mrs. Quintan said she
bad worn them, and her husband contempt
uously told the Custom House officials that
bis wife had a habit of putting a new silk
lining In her drosses every time she put them
away.
WOMEN CROWD MEN OUT.
The TablfH Have Turned on the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie Railroad and the ladles
Stand Up An Amusing Incident on a
Street Car.
American women are wearing ont their
conventional privileges in this country and
wearing them out rapidly, that is, so far as
courtesy on lines of public travel is con
cerned. Any one who travels 'may notice
it and it is .especially noticeable on one
train on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Bail
way, that which gets to this city
at 11 o'clock a. M., city time.
This train i3 uniformly minus one
car necessary to comfortably seat
its patrons by the time it passes Montour
Junction. There is sometimes room in the
smoker, but women cannot well ride there
and some men are not partial to-that apart
ment. Formerly it came in the last 10 miles with
one to three dozen men standing up like
animated clothespins, fuming and fretting
at the company, but all gallant enough to
surrender their seats to women. Now, how
ever, it is different. You see during the
last three or four miles of the trip about as
many women standing as men.
One who has ridden much in public con
veyances cannot fail to understand the
reason. Women, as a rajej are monopolists
and most of them want everything in sight
and when one goes into a ear unattended
she usually arranges to ocoup'y a whole seat
if possible. As since erinoline went out
she cannot spread herself all over the seat,
Bhe disposes ner reticule and parcels on the
remainder and is oblivious to the fact that
men are standing, first on one leg and then
on the other, like so many tired chickens.
WHERE THERE ABE NO BOLD MEN.
He is a bold brute or else a very insinuat
ing man who can secure a seat beside a lone
woman without unpleasantness. In conse
quence of this painful experience men are
beginning to assert their rights to the seat
they pay for and women as well as men are
required to submit to the regulation "First
come, first served," and frown as she may a
woman 'is likely to be allowed the
Democratic privilege of standing up as
men do when Beats are short. Of course,
the publie at large deserves the punishment
more or less, as if people refused to ride
without being seated transportation compa
nies would enlarge facilities, hut people
crowd on, no matter if they must hang to
platform railings.
A gentlemanly usher on the train men
tioned has his gallant soul vexed from day
to day trying to secure seats for women.
The only relief he can accomplish
is the crowding of ohildren into small com
pass, but as they only pay half fare they
must submit to discomfort. And after he
has done all he can, a lot of 'women are
usually left in a state of fermentation that
makes timid men who keep their seats un
comfortable. It is amusing to see some
bashful young men's faces redden, oonsoious
that several pairs of flashing eyes are fixed
on them, expressing as plainly as
eyes can, "You are a brute, but
of late they keep their seats and attempt to
make themselves believe they are absorbed
in a newspaper of in contemplation of the
shifting panorama outside. Of course, if
they happen to be acquainted with any of
the irate women standing a surrender is in
evitable. OFFENSIVELY MONOPOLISTIC "WOMEN.
Some women are more offensively
monopolistic in street cars than any
where else, and if not given a
seat they are not "Mow to express
dissatisfaction, and they there attempt to
occupy as much room as possible. An
amusing occurrence was noted in a street
car some time ago. The car was rather un
comfortably packed, but all inside were
seated, when a dude and dudess hailed it.
A weary-looking hod-carrier moved un
easily when the girl fixed her gaze on
him, and crowding as close the end
of the car as possible suggested
to his next neighbor to push
iu the opposite direction and make room
for the lady." But the hod-carrier's clothes
were covered with brick dust and the girl
tilted her nose with soorn sublime and re
fused the place. Still the inborn gallantry
01 the nod-carrier pleaded ior ner aud ne
arose and offered his seat. She took it with
out acknowledgment and then crowding
close to the end said to her partner, "Gawg
there's plenty of room for you." This
angered the hod-carrier and he re
marked, "If there's loom for Gawg,
there's room for me"' and sat down
beside the girl who angrily sprang to
her feet and brushing her skirts made some
energetic remark to her partner. But he
p. had more sense than to get into an alterca
tion with a man able to do him up with one
hand, and the pair stood until seats were
vacated. There were some people in that
car who enjoyed tho scene very much.
The average male American is chivalrous
and defers to -vgomen, but some men stipu
late that feminine garb must not cover a
misrepresentation.
A MATTER OF OPINION.
-If There Is a Strike- at the Continental Tabs
Works the Shops Are Banning Fall.
Master Machinist James Herron, of Pitts
burg Lodge 82, writes to the DISPATCH as
follows: "The statement of General Man-
ager T. B. Everson in yesterday's DlS-
:PATcn stating there was '"no strike at his
works is incorrect, aB the machinists went
on a strike last February and are still on a
strike, and T. B. Everson has been gather
ing all the chunkers that he could get to
work in his shop. The shop foreman stated
that that there are International Associa
tion ot Machinists at work in his depart
ment. That also is incorrect, as he has not
got any International Association of Ma
chinists men in his shop. He had two men
that they brought from Oil City that did be
long to the International Association of
Machinists, but they were expelled from
the order for violating their obligation."
The statement made to The Dispatch
reporter by the shop foreman was that men
belonging to the association wero at work
and that machinists applied for work there
every day. The foreman said be had all
the men he needed. The reporter saw- for
himself that the shop was well filled with
men. Mr. Everson said he was unaware of
any strike. The large number of men he
:had at -work bore him ont.

Detboit, Sept. 15. Frank Parrlsh, who was
brought horo last week from St. Louis as a
very important witness in the sensational

abductors, stating that ho, Parrlsh, had lied

Perrien for testifying against Considine.
Parrlsh has been shown up In several wavs

Very Valuable, but Costs Nothing.
The best example of getting something
for nothing which has Come to our knowl
edge! is the decision of the great specialist,
Dr. -Greene, 35 West fourteenth street,
New York, to give to the sick and suffering
consultation and advice free. Enormous
fees are charged by physicians of the great
skill and wonderful power to cure disease
possessed by Dr. Greene, and the fact that
he can nowbe consulted, personally or by
letter, fre?, is a matter for congratulation
for every community. Dr. Greene is tho
discoverer of that great nerve remedy, Dr.
Greene's Nervura, and all his wonderful
medicines are purely vegetable and perfect
ly harmless. 40ur people will be especially
interested in the fact that this eminent
physician has made a specialty of treating
the sick through letter correspondence. If
you write him a description of your case, he
will return a carefully considered letter,
eiving you a perfect understanding of your
Sisease," advice, etc., without charge. "Suf
ferers who have failed to get relief cannot
afford to neglect this great opportunity, but
should write to Dr. Greene at once. Be

POWER OF THEOSOEHT.
Mrsr Annie Besant Explains Some of
Its Apparent Masteries.
NATUBE OP THE OCCULT FOECES.
The Mahatmas Are Not Spirits, hut Highly
Developed Types of Men.
NOTHING OP THE MIRACULOUS CLAIMED
Newcastle, England, Sept. 15. Mrs.
Annie Besant writes as follows concerning
theoBophy:
"H. P. Blavatsky did not claim to have
received any letters or messages from the
'spirit world,' nor did I say on Sunday
that I received such since her death. Our
position is this: There exists a brotherhood
of highly-evolved men men, not 'spirits,'
in the sense of 'disembodied spirits' who
have developed their nature in suoh fashion
that they can communicate with others
across any distance practically Instanta
neously. The communication may be by
voice or by writing.
There is nothing more miraculous in such
communications than there is anything
-miraculous In speaking by telephone from
London to Paris, or by telegraph writing
across hundreds of miles; only, these men
can speak and write by using currents -without
wires, instead of currents sent along
wires. The letters received from these
men whom we speak of as Mahatmas, or
Masters during H. P. Blavatsky's life
wero said by her enemies to be fahricated
by her; the point of my statement was that
letters in the same handwriting had been
received by me (and others) since her
departure, thus clearing her from the charge
of fraud on his head. Apart from this vin
dication of her memory, the importance of
the matter lies in the existence ot men of
-our race who have evolved faculties and
powers far beyond any yet normally en
joyed. THE SPIRIT TEACHERS.
"It is from these men that the teachings
of Theosophy have been received, and a
large number of men and women in the
Western world were the pupils of H. P.
Blavatsky, and were being trained by her
under the direct sanation of these masters.
Briefly, our contention is that man is an
embodied spirit or mind, and can by proper
training, conjoined with a pure and unself
ish life, make his body'the effective instru
ment of the spiritual intelligence which
dwells in it, and that in the course of this
development he obtains' a knowledge of
nature whioh places under his control all
natural forces, giving him powers that seem
miraculous beoadse they are rare and.are
not understood.
"But this evolution is an evolution that
takes place here on earth, and the masters
are living men. They are spirits, as you
and I, Mr. Editor, are spirits, in the sense
thaj every human being is a spirit, but they
are not disembodied ghosts. The difference
between them and average humanity is that
they live in all the power of their essential
spiritual nature, using matter as an instru
ment instead of allowine it to clocr their
-action aud blind their intelligence.
NATURE OP THE MASTERS.
In the course of an interview, Mrs. Besant
said, with reference to the Mahatmas, or
Masters:
"They are men who have reached a point
of evolution whioh the race itself won't
reach for thousands of years, and this they
have done by Bpecial training, prolonged
through many Incarnations (that is. the
spirit entering one body after another).
Still, tho fact remains that they are livin?
men, and that they can be seen and talked
with like other men. But in addition to
being able to talk in the general way, they
have evolved the power of communicating
Instantaneously with persons in any part of
the world, either by speech or writing, and
of appeanne to persons in what we rail the
thought body that is, the intelligence
separated from the physical body, which,
under those conditions, is left unconscious,
In the place where the person -Is living."
"So it is those masters with whom
Madame Blavatsky was in communication
.from whom you also have heard. What are
-we to call this?"
NO MIRACLE IN IT.,
"There is nothing in what I have been
describing that is miraculous; it is simply
the knowledge of laws of nature not com
monly known. There is nothing more
miraculous in ono of the Mahatmas convey
ing speech or writing across hundreds of
through a telephone to another man in
Paris. The difference is that the Mahatmas
are able to use those currents without wires,
while Western science is only able to use
them with wires. To speak of those men
as spirits, in the ordinary sense of the word,
is a mistake. They are spirits as every
human being is a spirit, but in no other
sense. The interest of the existence of
those men lies in the view that they are
what we can be, and what the whole race
will be is the course of evolution. They
have simply quickened their development."
"And now for the connection between
these Mahatmas and those letters again, if
you win pwuua uc, wivoc mysterious let"
ters?"
"Just so. It was from those men that
Madame Blavatsky came as a messenger,
and under their direction that she founded
the Theosophical Society. She received
from them a large number of letters, and
she was in continual communication, with
them. It was alleged,against her that the
letters she said were from the Mahatmas
were forged by herself. It is interesting-in
this connection to say as I said at the Hall
-of Science last night that letters in the
same handwriting nave been received bv
myself and others since Madame Blavatsky j
leu.
THOSE OCCULT LETTERS.
"This brings us to the. grand point-which
has induced me to come troubling you.
What can you tell me about the letters you
have received? What was the means of
their communication, how were they writ
ten, and upon what kind of paper?"
"I cannot answer you there so fully as
yon might wish, because I must not. There
is always this one difficulty in dealing with
these matters to the public, that the modus
operandi is not explained. I am pledged to
secrecy, but apart from that it would be as
difficult to explain the transmission of such
messages as to explain the working of the
telephone to a person! who knows nothing
of electricity. There is a further difficulty;
the forces with which the transmission of
such messages is closely connected may be
used for very mischievious ends. The
manipulation of those forces is only taught
to those who are pledged deciples of the
Mahatmas."
"Where are your Mahatmas principally
located in what part of uhe world?"
"They are scattered all over the world,
and belong to all nations, but the largest
group of them are resident at present in
Thibet, and it is with the Mahatmas there
that the Theosophical Society is connected. "
"Does theosophy necessarily imply rela
tions with those masters of whom you have
been speaking?"
HIDDEN FOBClSS OF NATTJKE.
' "The only condition of entrance into the
Theosophical Society is the acceptance of
the doctrine of universal brotherhood, but
those who desire to go further and study
occultism as the science of "those hidden
forces of nature is called must be prepared
to surrender all worldly advantages, and to
live a life of complete self-sacrifice, and to
work forothers. The study is surrounded
with so many difficulties that few whobegin
persevere, and fewer still succeed. Many
persons have begun simplv with a desire to
gain- powers, and they have all broken
down under the conditions of training.
Great courage, as well as -great unselfish
ness, are necessary to pass even the early
initiations. Bulwer's famous story oi
'Zanoni' is not entirely a fiction."
It may be further explained that the
theory of Theosophy now adopted by Mrs.
Besant is that the individual souj goes
through a series of human bodies until per
fect, when It returns finally to the world'of
souls, so to speak, which Theosophy says
existed before this material universe was
called into existence. She now' explains
the Mahatmas to be human beings whose
spiritual perfection has reached a stage by
successive reincarnations which enable them
to exercise powers unavailable to the or
dinaiy mortal.

There is a way to cure this afflic
tion. It arises from a disordered
stomach. Read what the celebrated
Dr. Hofmeister said before the Medi--
cal Sodiety of Lendon:
"The unnatural notions of the
stomach causing pressure and belch
ings, the irritation of the intestines
.resulting in catarrh of the bowels, and
the inflamed mucous membranes are
the most fruitful of all known causes
jot disease.
"Out of them grow most'kidney and
liver troubles, diabetes, all rheumatic
affections and gout. I have found
.that the unnatural motions of the
stomach cease, the intestinal troubles
become soothed, and health results
from the use of Carlsbad Waters or
Sprudel Salts. The diuretic effect of
these-remedies, its quiet action upon
the lining of the stomach, and its
healing power upon the inflamed in
testines are beyond all praise."
