Yukoners, he said, found many weak points in the method of travel, equip- i meat and composition of nearly every polar expedition of the past. In the Nansen expedition, he said, it was shown by Nansen's own book that he understood little of eqi ipping and han dling long distance expeditions. “Yukoners handle them with much more simplicity, ease and skill,” Mr. Macdonald declared. “Nansen worked in heavy skin robes and - •as Immersed in sweat and then chill 1 in the ice thereof. Yukoners travel in the light parka and never permit themselves to sweat. “Nansen traveled with dogs weighing fifty pounds. Yukoners never use dogs weighing less than 100 to 150 pounds. Nansen drove Ids dogs with each hitch ed to a single sleigh, and they always were entangled and caused intermina ble trouble and endless delay. Yukon ers drive their dogs In tandem harness and have scarcely any such trouble. "Nearly every expedition sent to the arctic thus far has been composed of sailors, men who are useless on land or anywhere hut aboard ship. Those not military were largely so. It is tic* object and plan of Dr. Yaricle to draw the great contrast right here, lie wiU have none but the most experienced mushera and travelers and none but the most experienced and best trained dogs. “The question of fuel and sufficient supplies to carry the expedition across the ice is the sticker. Dr. Varicle pro poses to overcome this with an auxilia ry expedition of mules. He can make the mules lar.t 130 days or more by kill ing one every lew days for food. The .carcass of each mule killed will be - on verted Into dog food. “Dr. Yuricle's plan is to start from Grautland and to dash overland or over tin* ice 700 miles to the pole and then continue t*oo more to Franz-Josef Land, straight beyond from Grant- laud, and to make the Journey In 130 day* or less. “Ships wili make connections at both ends. Each ship will he equipped with wireless telegraph instruments, with which the travelers can communicate when within proper distance of the ship. The wireless will help to locate the ship without delay.” It is the plan to try out all experi ments In the Yukon, with Dawson the headquarters this winter, and to get Jj'e expedition started next June. USED BRYAN’S UNDERSHIRT. Housewife Made a Potato Stralaer of Nebraekaa'a Nether Garment. Yt’ben William Jennings twice Democratic nominee for the presidency of the United States, ap peared at the Chetek (Wia.) Chautau qua a year ago, he was entertained at the summer cottage of Eau Claire’s ex mayor, W. H. Erawley. The day was stifling hot, Mr. Bryan had Just completed u two hour talk and finished shaking bauds with sev eral thousand people. Perspiration poured down his face. His collar was wilted and his clothing clung to him as wet as though he had been soused in the lake. He was rowing wiver to the Frawley cottage. Arriving there, the great Nebraskan said to Ids Lost and friend: “Bill, I would like to change my un dershirt!” He was ushered into the guest’s chamber, where the change was made. Mr. Frawley took the damp garment just discarded by the orator to the kitchen, where he hung it on the steel towel rod which projects from the range. Several prominent ladies present as sisted the hostess to prepare the 1 sumptuous dinner, already a trifle late. ‘The potatoes are done,” said one lady, poking a fork into the murphies 1 lu the pot. “I'll drain them,” said Mrs. Fraw- i ley. The regular draining u* had not j been brought into camp. “Take a tea towel,” said one. The hostess grabbed in the general direction of the steel towel rod pro jecting from the range. Something white and soft came. Another grub and the pot of pota toes was on Uae way to the back door. In a minute the potatoes were drained as potatoes were never dr d before. The operation just completed, Mrs. Fra wloy’s eye caught for the first time the unfamiliar red mark. “Oh! oh! oh!" she cried. The other ladles rushed to her as sistance, fearing she had scalded her self. "What's the matter? What's the mat ter?" they asked. “Ob. girls. I’ve strained the potatoes in Bryan's . liirt!" said the hostess, ready to collapse. And sure enough she had. LEARNING FROM JAPAN.

An Estimate of Her Contribution to tbe Art of War. Japan stands acknowledged as tin* liule schoolmaster of the world us military science, says the Milwaukee Journal. Even Germany, the drill sergeant of Europe, is taking lessons. Our officers at Washington admit that as to many things we are as far behind the Japs as the Spaniards are behind us. For instance, our military men could not understand how the little brown man got over so much ground. Well, his gun is lighter, for one thing, and all his metal harness—buckles, canteen, cup. etc.—is made of alumin ium. His load is so light that be can carry a pick and shovel also. That’s new! The Jap lights under cover of earth and this is the way It is done: The first line of skirmishers dig shallow trenches. The second line occupies them and mov<*s forward. The third Hue digs them still deeper and the fourth eompletes them. Cross trenches also lead hack to each line. And so the Japanese army -skirmishers, wag ons. reserves, hospital corps—moves on its belly, therefore the light mortality. And these are the tactics of the trenches. The shrewd Japs evacuate the first Hue. inviting the big Russians on. The Russian lliinks victory. He finds Gatling guns and reserves on the last line and is <*ut down in his pride. Besides, the Jap never fires blindly. No order is given to lire until the range finders get the distance. All this is a distinctly new contribu tion to the art of war, Just as the su perb work of the medical corps Is new and, as George Kennan has shown us. as the siege methods at Fort Arthur were new. It goes without saying that ihe admirals of the nations can learn a great deal about how to fight ships from Togo. And these are the people who we were told were nothing .but “Imita tors!” TemiitliiK TI|i» TnlUril Of. The hired help at the Hotel Went worth In Portsmouth, N.

An Incident which occurred at the moment In which the kaiser and the czar recently met on hoard the Rus sian imperial yacht Polar Star has leaked out. although every effort has boon made to keep it secret, says the Copenhagen correspondent of the Lon don Globe. As the monarchs met, the revolver which the German emperor always carries and which never leaves him slipped from Ids ladt and fell op the deck with a crash. The eznr was startled and the kaiser explained at once that he carries the revolver so that he may be armed In case he Is attacked. A thought reader predicted some time ago that the kaiser runs the danger of being killed by a bullet fired by an anarchist and he cannot help being somewhat superstitious. lien's Nest In a Tree. A hen owned by Mrs. George Earle of Pnrllnninn’s Corners, near Middle- town, X. Y.. recently distinguished i herself and brought fame to her owner by building a nest in the branches of a high tree, laying thirteen eggs In it and I batching thirteen chickens, which she | brought safely to the ground without assistance, says a Middletown special to the New York Wo4d.

Carson, attorney gen eral of Pennsylvania, sat on the piazza of a Delaware Water Gap hotel talking about a very resourceful and alert lawyer. “His ready wit never fails him ” Mr. Carson said. “He is like the fakir who was selling Hercules cement. This fakir stood on a village street corner with a half dozen women about him. He was recounting eloquently his ce ment virtues, and at the same time he was demonstrating these virtues with actual experiments. He took up a. plate, broke It in half, cemented the two pieces with the Hercules and then suspended _from the mended plate a ten-pound wight. “ L(X)k-a-here.’ he said. ‘There is no cement like the Hercules. It'is al ways ready, it needs no heating, and it is as strong as steel. To this plate, for instance, I have just hung a ten- nound weight. I will now remove that weight and substitute a twenty-five pound one. The cement, you see, holds firm. I now increase the weight to thirty pounds, and’— • “Crash! the plate broke. The little audience smiled. But the fakir, not at ail perturbed, went right on. “‘And you will observe, ladies^ that the plate now breaks with ease, thus giving us an opportunity to cemepi the edges more firmly together when ever it. is desirable to do so.” -U- .*4 We have just unlomlt d another ear of Anchor Bundies and we ask you tint to overlook the many good points the Anchor Buggy pos-ses^es ovei others.
