Scientific Men Approve of the Pian—"‘The Thunderer” Shrugs Ite Shoulders, How- ever, but the Comments Are Generally Favorable—Jackson’s Trip in Jaly. “Our modest effort,” says Walter Well- man, ‘‘to solve the polar problem attracted a | Great deal of attention in England. Waile we have no desire to depart from our rule of giving the simplest possible description of our aims and movements, it is only a matter of justice to the British press and people to tell our American friends that oa this side the ocean we have been greeted with a friendly interest which is the more welcome because it was wholly unexpect- ed. More than that, the English have quickly perceived and recognized the mer- its of the scheme which we are pursuing and have said so in right manly fashion. This is the more surprising beczuse of the well known unwillingness of John Bull to do anything in a way different from that in which his grandfather did it. Just as the English yachtsman is said by the jokers to trim the sails of his yacht ina certain manner because that was the way Noah did it, so the English, in planning any polar exploration for themselves, are sure to follow the very methods adopted by Franklin and the pioneers in that field many years ago. But while the English make no innovations themseives they rec- ognize the virtue of progress in others. At least they have given us even more en- couragement than we had at home and have to a certain degree made us feel the foree of the old adage about the prophet and his own country. Before our arrival here the English newspapers had printed short accounts of what we proposed to do and how we think we can do it, or just enough to rouse curi- osity as to the full details of the plan. These carly accounts, brief and unsatisfac- tory, struck the English in a peculiar way. Mingled with that feeling common to all i:nglishmen that when an American talks of doing something of this sort he is very likely to know his ground and to do it was unother impression that this mad rush for the pole, this dash of a single summer, this attempt to capture in asortie what all others had failed to get within sight of through many long, weary sieges, was just a trifle visionary. Though we were not here to see them our English cousins doubtless shrugged their shoulders and smued as they read and talked of the lat- est American ambition in the polar world. 3ut they were too fair and perhaps too cautious to indulge In much definite criti- cism without further information. The good old Times, that historical news- paper of an empire, did give a perceptible shrug to its stately shoulders and say in quotation marks that “‘we are assured Mr. Walter Wellman is ‘one of the best known newspaper men in Washington,’"’ and zwdded: “Tt is evident from the many columns in the American newspapers in which he tells the story not of what he has done, but of the great things he is going to do, that he is a skillful journalist of the American type.’’ Over here, and according to the English standard, it is not necessary to call a man a horse thief or to accuse him of having murdered his mother-in-law. It is only necessary to say he is something or other ‘of the American type.’’ That does quite as well, Aside from this, The Times con- tented itself with a fair: resume of the plans of the expedition, closing its article with the following words: “Thus the pole might be reached in 50 days, and some time next September or October the world may be excited by a tel- egram from Tromso that a smart Ameri- can journalist has, in something like four months, accomplished a task which has bafiled humanity for as many centuries.’’ When we came, the English wanted to know all about it. They sent their inter- viewers to see us—the best of the lot were Americans—and the papers published all we could find time to tell them, and that was a great deal. It was curious to note the suddenness with which public opinion changed when the whole story of our plans was made known. The press, ever cautious and conservative, discussed the details in- telligently and pointed out the advantages of our method of approach to the pole. “It certainly seems promising,'’ said one pa- per. “‘ Perhaps, after all, this plan of dash- ing in, doing all one can in the favorable season and getting as quickly out is the best that can be devised,’’ remarked an- other. ‘“‘It looks feasible, but we should have more confidence in it if there had not already been so many failures in the arc- tics,’’ cautiously commented a third. ‘“‘When we first read of your scheme,’’ said Secretary Keltey of the Royal Geo- graphical society, ‘‘we thought you had gone crazy, but now that we see the whole method we are half inclined to pin our faith to you. If we had not seen so many arctic expeditions spring up in promise und go down in failure, even our English conservatism might be swept away by your brilliant proposition.’’ So with Professor Harkness, the famous analyst, who ana- lyzed all of Dr. Nansen’s food supplies and has also tested many of those which we are taking. ‘‘I confess I have been con- verted,’’ said he. ‘At first I thought your dash plan wholly impractical, but your methods stand close inspection. Your alu- minium boats and sledges show a distinct advance and great adaptability. We are afraid you are at least going to do so much in the arctics that there will be little left for our countryman, Mr.Jackson, to do.” So many words of encouragement like these have come to our ears through the press or from the lips of men whose opin- ions are worth something that we have be- gun to feel that perhaps we are sane after all, and that our friends in America who thought we were not may be mistaken. The following from The Morning Leader of London is a sample of the kind expres- sions with which the British press has teemed during our brief sojourn in this country: ‘It is in reality somewhat strange that no one has ever yet conquered the regions of ice and snow. The records of the expedi- tions of Hudson, Phipps, Scoresby, Ross, Sir John Franklin, Markham, Greely and Nares show that it is not for want of cour- age and zeal that the polar problem has never yet been solved. But science has made immense strides in the last few years, and the arrangements which Mr. Wellman has made seem admirably calcu- lated to attain the end he has in view. There is no Livingstone to be discovered and rescued, but it is not too much to say that if Mr. Wellman and his companions succeed in their quest and arrive not actu- ally at the pole, but even within measur- able distance of it, they will be welcomed back as few explorers have ever been wel- comed. Such is the impression dogged per- severance against terrible odds ever makes upon the world. It may be that the tangi- HE BLOOD is the source ot health.

The international race for | the pole is becoming more and more inter- | esting. To the list of entries, Nansen, Peary and Wellman, is now to be added Frederick Jackson, a young Englishman, who tn July will endeavor to steam to thé southern shore of Franz-Josef Land, there to establish headquarters during the } coming autumn. The press here almost daily remarks that these two expeditions, Jackson's and ours, are characteristic of the people who send them forth. While Jackson, like the true Englishman he is, goes out for a four years’ campaign to | make his way poleward by easy stages, carrying his supply depots farther and far- ther and making sure of every foot of ground which he gains, the Americans make a rush at the goal, or, as The News puts it, endeavor ‘‘to wing the pole by a sort of snap shot.’ It is needless to remark that Mr. Jack- 60n’s plan has advantages which ours does not possess, and that we have some advan- tages over him. Whom fortune will favor time alone can disclose, but meanwhile the English and American aspirants for po- lar honors are getting on well together. One of the pleasantest incidents of our stay in London was the ‘farewell luncheon given by the Jackson-Harmsworth polar expedition to the Walter Wellman polar expedition’’ at the Constitutional club. Many noted men were present, and it would have pleased every American reader of this letter to hear the hearty expressions of good will given us by our English cous- ns. ‘‘Of course we prefer that an Eng- lishman should have the honor of winning the pole,’’ was their sentiment, ‘‘but if it can’t bean Englishman we hope it may be and believe it wili be an American. That keeps it in the great English family.”’ One of the leading English journals of- fered us a large sum for the privilege of sending its special correspondent with us, but we could not accept. Another agreed to pay us 4 reward of $10,000 for reaching the north pole, provided we would send to it for exclusive use the accounts of our travels. This also was declined, as the tradesmen over here say in stencil on their receipted bills, *‘with best thanks.’’ An Englishman called our attention to an old statute under which he said we could win a reward of almost fabulous pro- portions by reaching the north pole, It écems that years ago parliament offered £5,000 for discovery of the pole and lesser sums for attaining lower degrees of north latitude above the eighty-fifth. Just as we had begun to dream of the royal £5,000 it was discovered that the provisions of the statute in question applied only to discoy- ery of the pole with a ship, and a British ship at that. This bars us out, for we can- not claim our little aluminium boais to be ships, nor ere we willing to han the stars and etripes from their single bamboo masts. The news that comes to us from Norway is encouraging. Our Christiania agent has been here, and he says the Norwegian masters of hunting vessels which go out for whale, seal and bottle nose sharks are confident this is to be an extraordinarily favorable year for navigation in the north- ern waters. The winter has been uncom- monly mild, and greater quantities of ice than usual have floated out of the arctics. In fact, there is more ice in the Atlantic about the banks of Newfoundland than for many years, and all the transatlantic steamships have had trouble with it. The more ice in the Atlantic the less in the waters about Spitzbergen and the better chance for us to find the southern margin of the ice pack a considerable distance from the northern shore of Spitzbergen. The farther north it is the better, though if the open character of the winter and spring has caused more ice to be set in drift we may have delay and difficulty in reaching the edge of the pack. At the same time we do not forget that sailing vessels have been as far north as 81%4 degrees in May, cruising along the edge of the solid pack, and we are hoping to find asomewhat sim- ilar condition of affairs this year. If we do, we shall have so much the better chance of success, We go now to the continent after the long eared draft dogs, the beasts of burden of the Dutch and Belgian cities, which we hope to make such good use of in the far north. — Walter Wellman, in Chicago Herald. Christ's Coat Under the Microscope. Dnring the past ten centuries there have been numerous discussions, dissensions and in some cases disruptions of churches and whole communities over the question of the genuineness of the so-called ‘‘holy coat of Argenteuil.” It may of interest to know that there are two ‘‘holy coats” in the cathedrals of Europe, the custodians of each claiming that the other is a fraud. The subject of this article is not the one kept at the Prussian city of Traves, which was made an object of pilgr:mage three years ago. This one is kept in a sacristy in the cathedral of Argenteuil, a suburb of Paris. Many believe it to be the true relic, and in order to more firmly es- tablish its claims the bishop of Versailles recently permitted sections of it to be sent to the Gobelin manufactory for microscop- ic examination. The experts who had the matter in charge say that they found a complete identity between it and the cloth woven by the Christians of the first and second centuries, fragments of which have often been fonnd in tombs, and that its brownish color is doubtless that of the “royal purple,” the dyeing of which is now one of the lost arts. The Argenteuil claimants are highly pleased with the ver- dict.—-St. Louis Republic. Stringed Instruments, It is supposed that the primitive idea of stringed instruments of masic had its in- ception in the bowstring Drawn to a given tension, it gave torth « certain tone. Still further drawn, the tone was what we call higher, It is a reasonable theory that some men were more expert bowmakers than others and made this their busivess. There must have been seme standard and various styles, and the tone could have been set as a gauge of quality. Some per- son with a natural gift for music no doubt made several bows the basis of elementary chords and kept these to work by in order to secure uniformity. Afterward these string sounds were arranged in a acale. Then minor divisions of tone followed asa natural sequence, and in this way came about the evolution of the primitive harp and its kindred instruments, each more complicated than its predecessor, until we have the grand pianoforte with its multi- licity of musical tones and chords. —New Fork Ledger.
