Some half a dozen lines In last Tues day's Astorlan conveyed a bit of news which, If confirmed, must be accounted marvelous beyond all description. It was stated that Mrs. Nansen, at her home at Christians, hud received by carrier . pigeon a message from her husband, the Arctlo explorer, stating that his expedi tion was doing well. That was all. But when we consider what It means. If true, that simple item far transcends the ut most fancylngs of poet and romancer. We do not mean that It is strange that the Fram Is safe and nil her company well. Of that we have had no aerlous doubt. But what Is strange, mysterious and Inexplicable Is that the news chould have come to us In such a manner. It Is now about two yean and a half since the Fram was fitted for her ventur ous voyage, and her coopful of rnrrler plgeons put aboard. On June, 21, 1S!3, She left Varangcr Fjord and Dade adieu to Europe, On August 2 she reached Yugorskl Strait, paused for a brief space that letters might be sent home, and then plunged Into the Black s.ia of the North and vanished from human vliflcn and from human reach. From that day to this she has not been seen nor heard from. It Is reckoned, from our knowl edge of Arctic currents, that she must have passed to Lena Delia and the New Sllierlan Islanils by the end of Sep tember, 1K03: then headed north on about the 135th meridian, and slowly swept on with the Ice pack towari the polo, liter erally "the first that ever burst Into that silent sea." But -hat 1b mere specula tion; and so is it thit she has been drift ing northward to or alrnon to the pole, and thence southward again toward the cistern coast of Greenland. But now, we arcs tol 1, from out the silence and darkness of these two un known years, a vital mesage comes. A carrier-pigeon, a fluffy handful of feathers and affliction, Is rcl?ajcd from the cage In which It has all :hls time been Im prisoned In that Ice-bound ship. The tiny missive is fastened to It, and It Is tossed gently Into the Aretla air. Never before was any mcssaga sent forth on cuch an errand; or never since the re mote progenitor of this same bird flew forth from the window of the ark. For a thousand miles on every side Is utter desolation. The ony sign of life In all the world Is on the Fram. But the tiny herald plunges unhesitatingly Into that dreadful realm, heading southward as truly as the needle points toward Its pole. Over a thousand miles of drifting glaciers and snow-shroudad Islands It makes Its way; over another thousand miles of stormy sea and f rotten plains and forest wildernesses, nnd finally iVilters to its mistress's window and delivers Its mes sage to her eager hand. If this bo true we must Bay "If," for the talo seems too marvelous for eredenco until confirmed In the amplest manner it is unsurpassed In the story book of the world's wonders. That so slight a creat ure should have the vital force, the physi cal endurance, for Buch a (ak, Is utmost beyond comprehension, That It should have Uio intlnct, or Inspiration, or what ever wo may call It, to leal It ever tin- tracked wiiBtes straight to Its home, after thirty months of bewildering Imprison ment, Is a mystery no philo.torih.ir can venture to explain. Wonderful an will be the tales the master of the From will tell on his homecoming, not one of them will be more wonderful or more heroic than the silent story of his winged mes senger. The death of George Augustus Sala 10 moves a brilliant and unique personage from the world of literature nnd Journal ism. He was pre-eminently a self-made man, coming out of poverty, and eventu ally becoming a man of the world of ex traordinary and varied accomplishments. He began life In un atmosphere of art, his mother having been a inusiilun and actress of considerable reputation. Ills earlier tastes Inclined him to the pio fession of art. During his youth he had experience as a miniature painter, scene painter, modeler and designer, etcher, en graver and Illustrator of books. It may have been In the latter capacity that he was Induced to turn his (mention to literature. In any event, he soon began fugitive literary "work, writing special articles for newspapers and inogailnes, which at last attracted attention und lid to his association with Dickens In the It )utli.,Kl Words, aftarward with Thack eray in the Oornhlll Magaslno, and sub seiiut ntly to his editorship of Temple Bar, ills success also made for him a porma nent place as a newtjupar correspondent. In which capacity ho gilnod a reputation that was world-wlil... .m l an acquaintance with all the prominent invn of his time. During his career lie aUo found time to write some books, but they do nut com pare In interest with hw correspondence ui.il shirt sketches .'or i-erlcelicalg. He had a knowledge of the world, keennee-s t-f ohbcrvutlun, an .irtlnio temperament. . n liht tou.-h tiii.l R brlllianc of iy(. wlikii admirably 'litr.l Mm for ork of liiiu kind, ami in II few of his eoni.ni wir'itii'i evened him. He In son life, r. nlrtady said, In the ellioei'poverty, but for many years he had commanded his own price for his work. With the completion of tho Nicaragua canal the United States will bo from tn'eWe to l(en hundred miles utiri to the northern prts of China-, Corca and Japan than Great Britain; an average or 2,700 miles nearer the western port of South America; 1,300 mllos nearer Mel bourne, and over 3.0W miles nearer New Zealand. In the new trade of which It will be the channel, New Orleans and the Gulf ports will have an advantage over New York In point of distance of about 1,000 miles. The canal will be a com mercial way to more than 00,000,000 peo ple with whom we have now compara tively little Intercourse, namely, .he In habitants of China, Japan, Corca, Aus tralasia, Malaysia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Chile. Through the . Suez canal Great Britain now possesses an advan tage of access to China, Japan and Aus tralasia of nearly 3,000 miles, which she will maintain until our own' waterway Is completed. Whon thu: Is done the chances are that the Southern states. In stead of Lancashire, will supply F-astern Asia with cotton goods, and that a great variety of other industrial and commer clul changes will be brought about, im porlant enough to Justify the most ener getic prosecution of that work. It Is ap parent that it must await a new and more thorough surrey, but there Is no doubt that Its results will demonstrate the feasibility of the enterprise. The intormation telegraphed from Port land yesterday that the O. It. nnd N. Co. had signed a ten years' contract, contin uing their present line of Oriental steam ers, will be good news to all Oregonlans, and especially to Astorlin3. It is well known that James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, Is behind the O. R. and N. In this line of steamers, and that the bulk of the Oriental freight brought over by these steamers goes east via the O. R. and N. and Great Northern route. It Is conceded that this present line of Oriental steamers Is only the be ginning of what will develop Into a line of the finest ships In the world, handling a tromendous traffic, and that Astoria will be the port where this great trafflo will be controlled and transhipped goes without saying. As outlined In an Inter view In yesterday's issue, five trans-con tlnental railroads will have their terminus In Astoria and each one will be Interested in working for and maintaining the su premacy of this traffic with the Orient. The events of the future which will in fluence the growth of the port of Astoria have scarcely been dreamed of by her most ardent supporters, The people who say that the world Is coming to an end before January 1 have selected a suspicious date. It looks as If they were trying to sneuk out of buy ing Christmas piesents. ' The president docBn't seem to care who makes the laws of the people, no long as he can shoot the ducks. Let nobody imagine that ex-President Harrison Is going to do any unnecessary marrying Just now. Prof, Garner Is In Africa again, .listen ing to what the wild gorillas are saying. MODERN GENIUS. Modern genius has provided againBt every dlscomfurt of climate and weather. From the patent office files it would ap pear that no one with a few dollars to spend on luxury has any excuse for a shiver or a teeth chatter In these pro gressive days. What would you think of the proposi tion to line your clothes with steam pipes and carry a boiler around In your pocket? An Ingenious Yankee has recently pro cured a patent for such a riytem. lie will make you a Jacket somewhat coreet llke guaranteed to fit the upper part of your body. This steam underwear Is usually worn over heavy flannels. It Is of hollow steel tubes, fastened together with ball, and socket Joints. Tho princi pal tube forms a belt for the waist and smaller pipes branch from It, one running up the spinal column and others spread ing over the chest like the bones of the thorax. In addition, n hood of heavy cloth covers the head and shoulders. A valve In the belt allows the steam to enter either from a general steam system or a small portable boiler. He who suffers from cold feet ned n? longer wear flannel lined arcties which cover the point of his shoes. He can purchaso a foot warmer which will not disfigure him in the least that Is, pro vided an Inventor has ever boomed his patent. It Is a strange contrivance, forming a letter "Y," made of rubber hose. Each of the forked branches runs down one leg of the pantaloons Into tho shoe. The simile tube runs up through the collar, ending In a mouthpiece As one walks he needs simply exhale his wnrm breath Into this trumpet and he will feel it down In the very bottom of his boots. Other foot-warmers are made In mnny forma. Stoves are adapted to hassocks, stools for church pews,- etc. Ruga con taining electric, colls are now made for men who attend open air stands or pas sengers In Btreet cars, ferry boats, rail road trains and other public conveyances. These are simply connected with the or dinary electrlo light wire, and the extra expense of the electrlo fan in summer may thus he spent for keeping warm in winter. Hand warmers are equally numerous. The cold weather paraphernalia of the up-to-date woman will be Incomplete without a muff stove. The Inevitable cold-handed man will not tic happy with out two overcoat pocket stoves. Patents for these may be counted by the score. The face warmer Is another new device. It Is covered with velvet or plush, and will give a natural blush to the cheek.. It Is convenient for those suffering from neuralgia or cold ears. All of those min ute portable stoves are made so that no fuel can escape, regardless of the posi tion in which they are held. They uti lise all sorts of fuel-usually a smoulder ing powder or cartridge. This burns In a cavity In the middle of the vessel. Sev eral coverings of gaute and asbestos and a partition or two of perforated tin reduce the heat through Insulation, at the same time allowing sufficient circulation of air. The outside covering Is made In various shapes and Is usually covered with cloth of some kind. ELECTRIC REMOVAL OF SNOW. When one goes carriage drlvlmr or sleigh riding with his wife ho still baffles the elements. His equipages are fur nished with carriage or sleigh heaters, such as are common. When he reaches home he does not find his doorstep cov ered with snow and sleet, such as might reuse him death if trod upon. By an electrical device he has connected the Iron steps with a circuit, which, when turned on. melts and thoroughly dries the whole surface. Similar systems are now ued for melting Ice and snow off the rails of street car and other railway tracks. A Injury Indeed, hut not do great as V very latest eleetrlu beds. The mat tress and pillows are stuffed with mineral wool and are placed In circuit with the electrlo light wire. By using a switch at the side of this couch one may at any time regulate the temperature of his mat tress and pillows. Lest a cold draught should penetrate under his covers during the night, he takes to bed with him an electric hot water bag. A wire enters at the neck and connects with a metal comb within, which, when electrified, be comes hot, and Imparts its heat to the water. But here is the cheapest of all methods of creating warmth; that Is, If you have the proper machinery. The problem of focusing tho sun's rays so as to give a steady heat Bcems to give the American Inventor much food for thought. Many patents are given for solar boilers, In which water Is heated by focusing light upon the surface of metal vessels. A GOOD REASON. . (Texas Slftlngs.) "What makes you look so solemn?" whispered a fashionable Austin lady to another In church, Just before the serv ices began. "I've got good reasons to be mad," was the response. "What Is It?" "I dressed mv'rlf up In this new suit I ordered from New York, and went to Church to show it off." "Well, what of It?" asked the other party. "Our clock was a whole hour fast, and I had to sit In that empty church without anybody to see my new clothes, and they are so becoming to my complexion. There was nobody to see them for a whole hour, and I might Just as well have had no clothes on at all. It made me so mad that " "The Lord Is In His Holy Temple, let all the earth keep silence before Him," was the ODenlnST remnrlr nf IhA nraarhni. onrt the rest of the conversation was lost to we reporter. The U. S. Gov't Reports show Royal Baking Powder superior to all others. DECIDEDLY COOL. (Portland, Me., Press.) A cool and collected person is Thomas Bragg, of the steamer Emita, who lost hlB balance and fell Into the water while handling a cake of ice the other day. His pipe was In his mouth and the Ice tofigs in his hands when the cold water closed over him. When he reappeared at the surface the pipe was still In his mouth and the Ice tongs In his hands. He puffed at the pipe to see If it had gone out, and on being satisfied on that point accepted the proffered tenders of AHHlnrnnnA nml wna ..t.llorl i 1 .... ' I'uucu nnivi; VULU rthe steamer.
