AN ARCTIC JOUJR.NEY.
SWEDE'S SUCCESSFUL VOYAGE
TO ICE-BOUND REGIONS.
Nnttirnlln'n Mtiko n Northern Trip of
UiiiinmuI Length Kind ait Arclilpela
Ui Never lieforc llxplorc 1 Summer
on the I'.aut Couit of Greenland,
A narty of Swedish naturalists under
thts kuut of Uuslavo KoltholT made a
northum voyitgu of mole than usual
length last Hiiiniiiur for the purpose of
studying tho fauna In arctic waters
and lauds. They started In it little ves
sel from the northern const of Norway
on June -1, and four days later they ar
rived nt the ley coast of Spitsbergen,
where they visited some of the deep
Herds and clusters of Island:). Then
they steamed far northeast to the wa
ters between Spitsbergen and Franz
Josef Land, where they reached the
southwest coast of I'rlnec Charles Is
Innd, which, It will be remembered,
was visited for the ilrst time two years
ago. They found there an urehlpelugo
of considerable extent which had never
been explored. They procured a great
deal of Information about this almost
unknown region, and the account o? It
which they will publish Is expected to
bo very Interesting. They were disap
pointed, however, In not tlndlng any
more relies of the lost arctic aeronaut,
Audree. Ono of his buoys had been
picked up In the neighborhood of King
Charles Island, and this was believed
to bo the likeliest place to tlnd other ob
jects that might throw light upon the
fate of tho explorer.
Then the party steamed on their way
to the coast of Kast Greenland along
tho edge of tho polar lee. They found
tho great lee pack Impenetrable, but
they kept on westwnrd, clJso to the lco
edge, as far as thelslaud of Jan Mayen.
This Is the bleak arctic laud that will
always bo famous as the placo where
In tho seventeenth century a largo
party of whalers spending tho polar
winter perished to it man of scurvy.
Tho record they left of tho tragedy was
nearly complete, for It was brought
down to within a day or two of the
time when the last survivor probably
died.
Hero tho explorers found tho pack
lco stretching away to tho west as
well as to tho north. They wero nblo,
however, to push Into It and slowly
pick thelrwas westward. Iloreund there
wero great hills of lee, where the pres
sure had piled the pieces high. The lco
was everywhere covered with n thick
layer of snow, anil their description of
It shows that It was old polar lco that
perhaps had been slowly drifting south
ward for many mouths.
Tho expedition dually reached tho
Hast Greenland coast at Mackenzie bay
on July ai. They found tho ground en
tirely freo from snow, and under the
summer sun a good deal of vegetation
had developed. On Aug. U, after
studying animal life on sen and land
for some days, the vessel entered Franz
Josef (lord, though seven days beforo
It had been completely blocked by Ice.
In a week nil tho Ice had entirely dis
appeared, They remained In tho tlord
until Aug. 2:i, mid secured tho unusunl
prize of two young musk oxen, which
they took home with them to Sweden,
This Is probably the Ilrst time that live
specimens of tho musk ox have been
carried to civilized lauds, though the at
tempt has several times been made.
Mr.Kolthoff says that last season was
a bad lee year in tint neignnoriioou or
Spltzbergeu and Uaer Islands. On the
other hand, the east coast of Greenland.
which Is frequently locked with lco all
through the summer, was almost freo
from this Impediment to exploration.
VALUABLE SECRET.
One Family lln I'urnUlicd HtninpCnn
eclcra for Hlxty-llvo Ye urn.
Since 1&I5 all tho machines by which
postage stumps are cancelled ami enve
lopes marked with tho name- of tho post
otllcc, tho date, etc., have been made by
ono family. In tho year named the
Postmaster General entered Into a con
tract with licnjainln Chambers, a citi
zen of Washington, to furnish a dovlco
by which postage stamp might bo can
celed so that they could not be used
again, and, although there have been a
multitude of competitors on several oc
casions, that contract has been renew
ed year after year for slxty-tlve years
with Mr. Chambers, his sou, nnd his
grandson, who huvo a secret process by
which the dies arc made of malleable
Iron and carbonized Into steel at a cost
of from 50 cents to $'-75 each. It Is
certainly the only government contract,
and probably the only contract In tho
United States, that has been renewed
o often and continued so long. Tho de
partment buj'H about $-'5,000 worth of
new cancelers every year. Hlds are ad
vertised for annually, and every now
and then some ambitious manufacturer
who thinks he has a good thing offers a
proposal, but the Chambers family are
Invincible. They have Improved the de
vice until It Is now almost perfect.
The stamper Is a circular cast-steel
box (with a screw thread), one end of
which Is closed, and Is provided on tho
outside with a square shank to secure
It to the hardwood handle. Tho cover
of the box Is a disk of steel. A portion
of Its thickness enters the box by means
of a screw thread around Its periphery
of almost twenty threads to tho Inch.
This permits of a space between the In
ner face of tho die and the bottom of
the box, while the remaining thickness
of the disk forms a tlauge with the
edge, which Is coarse milled, so that the
disk may be turned with tho hand or
a wrench. On tho quter face of the
disk are characters of tho body of the
cylludvlcal die. These combine the
marking and the canceling devices, ono
being ou ono side of the disk, Inclosing
the uauie ot the poatotUco In a circle.
There are three slots for removable
type, for months, dates, hour, and half
hour. Diametrically opposite the cir
cle Is the canceling device, the sldo of
which Is parallel with the edgo of tho
disk. Any required number or letter
Is cut In relief In the center, while three
grooves are cut Intaglio. The remov
able types arc of steel, and have on tho
ends opposite their faces projections
from their outer edges, so that when
Inserted In the slots the projections can
be clamped and held In place.
Until 1880 Captain Chambers manu
factured tho cancelers here In Wash
ington, and he Is still required to main
tain a repair shop In the neighborhood
of The Postolllco Department, but he
moved his factory to Northumberland
county, Virginia, on n log of laud at tho
mouth of the Potomac, where he has
a little village composed exclusively of
einiloyes nnd -their families. No ono
can enter his grounds without permis
sion, and those who have been tlicro
say It Is quite an Ideal little village,
safe from spies of competitors who
would like to get tho contract away
from him. Washington Correspond

Though ho represents a comparative
ly unimportant State, Thomas Kcirus,
the now Senator from Utah, will be one
of the most conspicuous figures In tho
upper house of the Fifty-seventh Con
gress. Ills great wealth is responsible
for his election to tho Senate. Like his
colleague, Clark, of Montana, ho has
wrested a fabulous fortune from tho
mines of the West, after tasting the bit
ter cup of toll and privation for many
years.

Ncbraskn as a young man and worked
on a farm. He dug potatoes and drovo

that lu tho Ulack Hills of Dakota ho

might 11 iid a fortune and thlthor ho
went. Hut ho failed to strlko It rich
and went to Utah In 1SS:I. In tho fa
tuous Ontario mine lu Park Ulty ho
went to work with pick and shovel.
Kroiu tho savings out of his weekly
wages he accumulated enough to buy
himself a copartnership, with several
others, lu a claim near tho Ontario
mine. They met with success. Other
claims on adjoining laud was purchased
and tho whole combined Into the Silver
King mine. Its product of silver, gold,
copper nnd lead last year amounted to
an oven ? 1,000,C100, of which one-fourth
went to Senator ICearus. He Is now
worth about ?.",0OO,00O.
Kearns Is exceedingly geenrous. Not
long ago ho gave $50,000 for the estab
lishment of an orphanage In Salt Laka
City and he also gave $10,000 toward
the building of a new Catholic ca
thedral In the same city. He Is now
building a marble palaco In Salt Lake
City, which will bo one of tho ilncst lu
the country, In marked contrast to tho
dugout which was his Ilrst Nebraska
homo and tho humble cabin which shel
tered him durlug his early career lu
Utah.
AVnllod In.
Whllo excavating for a cellar In Ma
rietta, O., a fow hundred feet from 1 10
famous Mound Cemetery, tho work
men dug Into a mound builder's grave,
which was supposed to bo two thou
sand years old. Tho grave was cover
ed with three layers of heavy stones
with threo Inches of Hue white sand
between each layer. When the third
stone was raised, tho bones of a large
man wero discovered. In the bones of
each hand wero solid copper axes. The
bones crumbled ou exposure for an
hour. Largo bits of charcoal were
found In tho grave, as wero tho bones
of wild animals supposed to have been
deer. Tho gravo was walled lu ou all
sides, aud also tho top and bottom,
with heavy stoues. The boly of the
mound builder sat In an upright post
tlou. with tho hands lu a position as If
supporting tho body. Tho gravo was
two nnd a half feet wide by two and a
half feet long and Ave feet deep, and
tho stones surrounding It were easily
broken with the lingers, as they wero
very soft.
Not There.
A farmer once wrote to a distinguish
ed scientific agriculturalist, to whom
he felt under obligation for Introducing
a new variety of swlno:
"Hespectetl Sir: I weut jeaterday to
the cattle fair; I found several pigs of
your species. There was a great varie
ty of beasts, and I was very much as
tonished nt uot seeing you there."
The people who have plenty to eat
aud drluk and wear, and who are com
fortably housed, do a terrible lot ol
grumbling when a plu scratches them.
