Xotes of the Week.
Preparations are now beiDg made
for two expeditions to the Arctic re
gions. The North pole and the un
explored radius around it has such
au attraction to the people of the
world that many have perished in the
vain attempt to get within this re
gion which nature has thus far de
barred from humanity, as far as we
know. In fact, from the attempts
which have been made, it seems that
it is an impossibility for man to get
within the charmed circle. But with
all the lessons of the past, the curi
osity of humanity overweighs all else
and there still spring up those who
are willing to undertake to rt ach it
though they perish in the attempt.
The world knows of the expeditions
which have been fitted out in the
past for this purpose, and it also
knows of the signal failure of each
and every one; and it also knows of
the scenes of distress and sickening
horrors which have attended these
expeditions. Of course the world has
gained much information about these
frozen regions, but it has been at the
cost of terrible suffering to those who
went. The awful and horrible scenes
of the Greely expedition are yet fresh
in the minds of the people. It is now
announced that Dr. Nansen will start
out next spring and attempt to reach
the North Pole, for which purpose
the Swedish government and private
enterprise have provided ample
means. The other expedition we
have reference to is to be in command
of Lien C. Rider, of the Danish navy,
who will explore a large area of the
upper part of Greenland. The Dan
ish government is backing this enter
prise and will furnish the necessary
funds for it. This expedition it is ex
pected will be gone two years before
it returns.
Of course Dr. Nansen's is the most
dangerous of the two expeditions,but
both of them will be fraught with
untold privations and miseries". The
thirst for exploration and adventure
occupies a most prominent part of
the composition of humanity and
these hazardous attempts amid the
icy regions of the globe will continue
to be made every now and then. We
cannot expect any more from the at
tempt that Dr. Nansen will make
than from those which have been
made, and it will no doubt terminate
like those of his predecessors in a dis
astrous failure.
The body of the late Capt. John
Ericsson, the great and famous inven
tor, was started on its journey last
Saturday to its tomb in Sweden. It
was his wish that after the toil of life
were over that his body might rest in
peace in the bosom of his native
Sweden. His death occurred in March,
1889, and ever since his body has
been resting in the Old Marble ceme
tery in New York City.
Capt. Ericsson was a remarkable
mechanical genius and was one of
the foremost men of the age in this
respect; and the benefits of his labors
were given to the American people,
the land of his adoption. He was
brought more prominently into no
tice by his invention of the Monitor
ironclads which rendered such valu
able service to the United States gov
ernment in the late war.
It was the desire of the Swedish
government that the remains of her
famous son be sent home in a man of
war, and so in accordance with this
desire Secretary of the Navy Tracy
deputised the "Baltimore" for that
purpose.
It was a notable and imposing oc
casion last Saturday in New York
City when his boly was tranferred
from its resting place to the vessel
which was to bear it home. The
people showed their appreciation and
respect for the dead inventor in every
way they could. A large crowd gath
ered to bid his remains a last fare
well. The flags in the city and in
the harbor were flying at half mast
and amid the booming of salutes the
Baltimore steamed grandly out on its
journey.
The young German Emperor Wil
liam seeins to be trying to strengthen
the amicable feelings between him
self and the leading monarchs of the
old world by visits. He has just re
turned from his trip to Russia where
he has been the gue6t of the Czar. A
royal welcome was extended to him
and around the festive board, and on
the military field everything was done
to entertain and m ike pleasant his
stay iu the kingdom of the Czar. The
weather was very unfavorable and
was a drawback, but yet this did not
hinder his royal highness from having
an excellent time. The young Em
peror enjoyed the maneuveriogs of
the Russian soldiery which were car
ried through under difficulties, as the
mud was fearful. The military man
euveriogs were pronounced a Buccess
and the Emperor has been given sev
eral honorable connections with the
regiments. A farewell banquet was
given him, and the Czar and the offi
cers of the Vibarg Regiment accom
panied him down to the quay to see
him oil.
It is stated that these two great
power desire peace in order to occu
py themselves with international af
fairs, and a visit like this would do
more to this end than a great quan
tity ot correspondence, and this is no
doubt true.
No doubt this visit did much to
wards strengthening the amicable
feelings between these two powers,
but yet there is no telling when the
Emperor will have to face in fight
the same troops which he as a spec
tator looked upon in their brilliant
maneuverings.
The great strike on the New York
Central Railroad has been going on
for some time now, and yet the com
pany and the strikers seem to be un
able to effect any terms. Both seem
to be determined to have their own
way. It has caused and is still caus
ing great inconvenience to commerce
and the longer this state of things
continues the more disastrous it will
be for the strikers and the better it
will be for the railroad company.
This loose kind of way of striking is
not the proper method to pursue any
way. It caused lots of inconvence,
loss of time and most frequently ends
in failure. The success of a strike de
pends very greatly upon the strickers
being in the position to enforce their
demands at once for if this cannot be
done it gives time for the positions of
the strikers to be filled and what in
convenience is caused by the employ
ment of greenhorns or being com
pelled to run with a limited number
of men is all thrown on the strikers
and hence they lose the sympathy of
a public who in reality would be glad
to see them receive their demands
and get the very highest enumera
tion for their services. Yet while
there are so many idle who are stand
ing ready to step in the shoes of those
who strike it is a hard matter for a
strike to be a success.

The Chatham Record comes to the
frcnt as usual with a snake story. It
says: "Chatham comes to the front
with the champion snake story, and
claims to have discovered the famous
hydra headed monster of ancient
mythology. At any rate our county
boasts of a two headed snake, found
by Mr. John G. Clark, of Hadley
township, and brought to the Re
cord's museum It has two separate
and perfect heads and can use either
or both at the same time. Now come
again with your snakes," Great
