HIS VERY I’KRILODS TRIP
DARING SCHEME OP NANSEN TO
REACH THE POLE.
Be Proposes a Drilt of iwo Years and
Two Thousand Milas Across the
Polar Sea—Els Reasoning in Favor
cf Bis Plap and Argamaata That
Are Advanced Against It.
From the Few York Post.
In the scientific as well as popular revul
sion which followed the story of the closing
miseries of the Gretly expedition, it seemed
as though a check had oeen given to at
tempts to roach the north pole. Such,in fact,
was for awhile the evident effect, and the
researches ill the north of explorers took on
a kind of sub-arctic character with scientific
objects, and divested of extreme peril to life.
Of this character, for instance, have bean
the late journeys to the Greenland glaciers,
to the regions of perennial ioe and snow in
Alaska, and to the ice-cap of Greenland,
the latter expeditions culminating in Dr.
Fridtjof Nansen’s transit of that country
and the larger venture iu which Lieut.
Ferry is uow engaged. If we except the
dangers of the Nansen party on the east
coast of Greenland before lauding and of
theirascent and descent of the edges of the
ice cap, there has been little since
the horrors of the Greely story to
break the conservative quality cf
arctic exploration. It is, there
fore, with a shock that the public will road
in the forum for August what we believe
is the first detailed outline in the Eugiish
tongue of a scheme of Nansen for reaching
the north pole—a scheme whicL for its
“novelty of rashness” eclipses any under
takings of explorers up to the present day.
Excluding its more refined points of rea
soning, Nansen’s theorem is that the main
current of the Arctic Ocean begins at a
point to the north of Siberia not fur from
the place where the ill-fated Jeannette sank
in 1881. This current, as he believes,
sweeps directly across the Arctic ocean near
the pole, passes down the east coast of Green
land, doubles the Southern capo, aud iu part
at least, turns northward along the wost
coast. Flotsam of various kinds from Alaska
and certain relicsof the Jeannette expedition
said to have been found on the southwest
coast of Greenland, form the chief basis for
bis belief in the existence of this current.
To carry out his plan ho has raised #85,000
by a public grunt and by private subscrip
tion in Norway; he is building a stout
steamer of 200 tons, with side-lines from
bulwark to keel exceedingly sharp in their
angles with the water line, so that in case
of a “nip” she will be raised upon the ice,
and upon this craft, in’ company
with ten or twelve companions,
— . - - - AVUC|
including Capt. Otto Sverdrup,
who was with him in the trip
ucross Greenland, be proposes to push
northward from the Siberian ooast, and, at
last, trusting his craft entirely to the ice,
begin the long drift of 2,000 miles across
the Polar sea during a period which he esti
mates at not less than two years. His
craft is to be provisioned for Jive years, and
with a strong boat, sledges and other kinds
of familiar arctic equipment be provides
for secondary emergencies. On bis peril
ous trip he expects to start not much later
than next February.
Criticising severely this polar quest, Gen.
A. W. Greely, in an article in the Forum
following Nansen’s, questions the thoory of
the latter as to tho great arctic current aud
the proofs of It. Nansen, it appears, has not
fully proved the alleged Jeannette relics to
be such. Greely contends that they are
flotsam from the sunken Proteus, which
were caught by the West Greenland north
erly current from the outlying part of the
current wbiob sweeps southward on the op
posite side of Baffin bay and lower waters.
It is to be noted also that Comnodore
Melville, the only surviving officer
of tho Jeannette, shares ~ Greely’s
doubts as to the genuineness of the relics —a
vital point which it certainly seems strange
Nansen should not have absolutely proved
before making his datum for anew route
to the pole. Greely also ridicules Nanseu’s
conception of an "indestructible” artic
ship, declaring that no craft can be built
strong enough to resist the awful pressure
of the ice-fields in high latitude.
Finally, Greely brings out with
more clearness, we think, than in
his printed volumes, his theory as to
land about the north pole, as indicated by
the “table bergs,” less in size, but otherwise
like those coming from the antaortic conti
nental ice-barrier. The assorted existence
of such an area of land around the north
pole Greely fets against Nansen’s theory
that the groat arctio current on which he
proposes to drift passes through the highest
polar latitudes,and very near, if not across,
the pole itself.
While questions thus raised botween two
arctic explorers belong primarily to tho ex
perts, the truth probably lies between the
extreme viows of each. On Nansen’s side,
for example, iu the matter of the resisting
powers of vessels against ice aud of the ice
itself as a safeguard, wo have the uarratives
of Ross and Wilkes. Kane’s long battles
with the ice packs, and wintering iu his craft
on the ice, the experience of the Folaris, the
long voyage of her castaway party on a
floe, and like episodes without number in
the long and varied story of polar adventure,
On the other hand, such incidents ns the
quick sinking of the stanch Protons after
her “nip” iu July, IS3, as told in Schley’s
narrative, and many similar mishaps of
stout sealing vessels, may bo cited offhand
on Greely’s side. Good luck or bad luck,
skillful or uuskillful management of craft,
are factors so mixed in this problem ns to
leave the conclusion that while Nansen is
taking a terrible risk, still he has that
chance which daring explorers such as he
are willing to accept. It is very much the
same with every other feature of his polar
quest. The chances are greatly against him
so much so as to justify much of Greely’s
criticism.
But aside from any nice and technical
estimates of the degree of Nanron’s hazard
or his prospect of success, his amazing
venture deserves the soantest sympathy.
To undertake, for the sake of what even ha
can only call “pure knowledge,” a polar
search by a method from which the intrepid
Bosses and Halls and Kanes of the post
would have recoiled in dismay; to trußt
precious lives, including his own, for years
to the icy elements of an unknown polar
ocean, and to take the one chance in the
fifty of success with only sentimental
nwardt to add to a fame already
sufticient—these surely are the
acts not of the cool-headed man of science,
hut of a man who by the “artic fever'
seems to have been morbidly changed, into a
rasb adventurer. From such fatal emprise
on misses sadly the high scientiflo motives
or Hall among the Esquimaux, of the care
fully planned but luckless Greely expedi
tion, of Peary, of Nansen himself on the
Greenland ice-cap, and of the “wisely bold”
explorations of Sir James Ross fifty years
ago to a south polar region still strangely,
neglected wbioh yet awaits probably the
disclosure of geographical and physical
■ w ' t k° ut perils to compare to those

BRUNSWIOK'S EXPOSITION.
Tim Clt'z'ns Have Already Subscribed
$50,000 Toward it.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 21.—Tho citizens
of Brunswick have gone to work in earnest
to have an exposition hero this winter, and
with that end in view have met and dis
cussed the situation, appointed committees,
elecled oflicers, headod by Hon. W. G.
Br-.ntley, president, and obtained subscrip
tions to the enterprise, which will be known
as the Southeast Georgia Exposition Com
pany.
Many people here cried down the project
when first mentioned, but liberally dis
posed and progressive citizens soou sub
scribed #5,000 as a starter, and the exposi
tion was assured. Dec. I to 5 is the date
named for the holding of the exposition.
LARUE PRIZES WILL BE OFFERED
for exhibits of agriculture, it being desired
by the directors to show unbeiieiers w hat
Southeast Georgia ran produce in the line
of fruits and vegetables.
Since the timber industry is rapidly
playing out, the people are devoting a good
deal of attention to farming and fruit
growing, but as yet no opportunity for dis
playing the results of their labor Las been
properly afforded them, and to the accom
plishment of this purpose the directors of
i his exposition will chiefly devote their at
tention.
Another feature will be horse racing, it
being the directors’ intention to make this
an extraordinary attraction. During tho
winter months many wealthy northerners
live in Brunswick and on Jekyl Island.
These poople bring their blooded stock with
them, and it is thought that they can be so
interested that their horses will be driven
over this track during their sojourn hero.
That the exposition will be
BENEFICIAL TO BRUNSWICK
is a foregone conclusion. In December
shipping is at its high*, vessels from all
over the world are in port, cotton is passing
through, thousands of dock hands are em
ployed at good wages, money is compara
tively easy, tho meichants enjoy a good
trade and every one tries to make a good
impression, each in his own peculiar way.
Brunswick is counting heavily on the
success of this first effort, and hopes to
make it one that will bear increasing good
fruit each year.
A DISAPPOINTED YOUTH.
Finds His Sweetheart Married When
He Arrives With a License.
Albany, Ga., Aug. 21. — Joseph Davis,
a young railroader of this city, now thinks
all the world is false and life has no charms
for him. Joe did not marry the girl he
bought his license for, and this is tho cause
of his sorrow. Miss Leila Trice, who is
generally known as Miss Culpepper, owing
to her mother marrying a second time when
she was but a babe, is pretty
and winsome, and all the
gallant young Americas in tho neighbor
hood of Field's Crossing, a small hamlet on
the A. F. and N. road, about eight miles
above the city, put forth their best efforts
to win her heart and hand. Her admirers
finally dropped off to two, Messrs.
Melvin and Davis. Melvin was
positive that his earnest wooing
would be rewarded. {So was Davis.
Wednesday morning Melvin drove up to the
voung lady’s house, fixed for business, and
was quietly married to Miss Leila Trice.
That afternoon Davis procured the marriage
documents, paid the preaoher a “V” in ad
vance to tie tho silken knot, and, in com
pany with tho reverend one, he went in
quest of his girl. But he was doomed
to a sad disappointment. Upon reaching
the house he was introduced to Mrs. Leila
Melvin. Joe no doubt felt blue. In his
haste he had Melvin, the name of Miss Cul
pepper, instead of Trice when his docu
ments were issued. It is said the parson
felt so sorry for him that he refunded the
#5, as he thought the boy was out enough
already.

FIGHTING IN THOMASVILLE.
Friends Interfere in Each Case and
Separate the Combatants.
Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 21.—Thomas
ville bad two fights thi9 afternoon. Con
ductor Bly and Yardmaster Kush, both of
the Savannah, Floridi and Western rail
way, were the first to come to blows. Rush
was doing his man up iu great shapo until
the former pulled his pistol, using it as a
club, and inflicted some telling blows on
his opponent's head. Frisnds interfered.
ANOTHER FIGHT.
Later this afternoon Lavinea Jud, a mer
chant doing business on Jackson street, and
a countryman named William Benton from
Florida, had quite a disturbance iu the
former’s store. Bentou says the mer
chant had his hand in his pocket trying to
take his money. When|a policeman sepa
rated them they were at it in great shape.
The countryman was getting the best of his
man until other friends of Jud took a hand
in the game to help out their comrade.
Warosboro Waifs.
Waresboro, Ga., Aug. 2L—A terrible
thunder storin visited this place late yester
day evening, and the heaviest rain of the
season fell. Lightning struck one dwelling,
demolishing one end of the building. No
one was hurt.
A reunion of the Waresbor > High school
students will take place here Saturday
evening. Prof. 8. P. Bottle lias arranged
an interesting programme for the occasion.
PRODUCSD A HARD RAIN.
Experiment With Dyrenfurth’a Bal
loon 3 on a Texas Ranch.
From the Washington Post.
Midland, Tex., Aug. 19.—Tho first
oxybydrogen balloon brought here by Gen.
Dyrenf urth’s rain-making experts was ex
ploded yesterday on the ranch at an alti.
tude of \)i miles. There were a few scat
tered clouds in the sky at the time. The
experiment was made at about 3 o’clock.
There was no indication of rain, however,
previous to the explosion.
The balloon was exploded by electricity,
and the report from it souuded like a heavy
clap of thunder. The unusual sound com
ing from a clear sky stampeded a herd of
cattle near the ranch headquarters. Sev
eral kites with dynamite attached to their
tails were sent up immediately after the
balloons, and the dvnamite was exploded
by electricity. Rendrock powder was dis
tributed for a distance of two and three
quarter miles from the headquarters, aud
also explodod by igniting dynamos. It
made a terrific noise, aud sent up great vol
umes of white smoke, winch rose only a
short distance, however, and then was
beaten down by the rain, which at once be
gan falling, and continued for four hours
aud twenty minutes.
Incoming ranchmen and trainmen say
the rain extended many miles. Prof. Cur
tist, meteorologist for this rainfall expedi
tion, estimates that the rain covers an area
of not less than 1,000 miles. The explosions
were? easily heard twenty-five miles
away, and were mistaken for .thunder by
the natives.
She delicate instrument for ascertaining
the barometrical conditions showed the at
mosphere immediately before the experi
ment to be extremely dry. and not more
than 60 per cent, humidity.
The explosions were followed by a rapid
falling of the barometer and the rain came
down in torrents. Between the ranoh and
this town, a distance of twenty-five miles,
the roads were badly washed out by the
heavy rain.
As this dispatch is being written late this
afternoon the sun is shining in a cloudless
sky, but heavy chips of thunder are beard
on the C ranch, and there will undoubtedly
be more rain very shortly.
The most exteuslve experiments have not
yet been made, but will probably be beguu
to-morrow.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
An Interesting- Visit to Brunswick’s
Oyster and Vegetable Cannery.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 21.—One of the
many profitable industries of Brunswick is
that of oyster canning. But at this season
of the yeir the oysters not being in a suit
able state for canning the immense plants
are supposed to be closed. There is one
however, which is never idle.
Tho News c irrespondent visited this can
nery to-aay and was initiated into the mas
teries of canning vegetables, ckra being
the subject worked on. Near the cannery
is
AN OKRA FARM OF 4>£ ACRES,
one solid mass of stalks about six feet
high, bearing profusely and furnishing
profitable employment for a number of
pickers, who are paid a oertain amount per
bushel for gathering the vegetable.
From the stalks to the pickers, and from
the pickers to the works it travels, and is
there cut into small pieces by scores of
women cutters, who carefully cull tho hard
ends and overripe pods. These clippings
are then thrown into an immense Doiler,
steamei slightly, taken out, aud. hot and
steaming, placed into shallow vats, from
which they are scooped into the cans by
meaua of large spoons in the hands of
numerous white girls.
Three pound cans are used altogether at
present and these are arranged in wooden
trays, each tray holding ten cans. Alter
being filled, several of these trays are passed
into an immense iron holder and the whole
immersed into a caldron of hot salt water,
which completes the filling of the cans.
From the salt bath the cans go to the cap
per, who dexterously solders the tops on
them, and from the capper they are placed
in an iron cage, lowered into a steam chest
holding about 500 cans, the top bolted down
and steam turned on until
THE THERMOMETER REGISTERS 250°
and there remains until the contents of the
can are thoroughly Cooked.
By a derrick the cage is If ted into a vat
of cold running water until cool, when it is
taken out and stored away.
Sixty minute* is all that is required to
transfer the okra from the fields to the
cannery and prepare it perfectly for table
use.
ABOUT SIXTY HANDS ARE EMPLOYED
at this work, and 150,000 three-pound cans
of okra will be the result of their labors this
season. *
Many people of both sexes and color are
employed by the company and their exper
iment has proved profitable. The four and
a half acres are expected to yield a net
profit of #750 per acre at the lowest esti
mate.
Next season fruits will be canned as well
as vegetables, aud with this object iu view
the company has leased another cannery
and will operate both summer and winter.
THE WAYCHOSS INSTITUTE.
Dr. Clifton Delivers Lectures on Egypt
and India.
Waycross, Ga. , Aug. 21.— The teachers
of the Peabody Institute and the people
were treated to a highly entertaining
lecture by Dr. Clifton Wednesday evening.
This was the first of a series of lectures that
the doctor will give on the subject of
"Egypt, the Land of the Pharoahs.” The
doctor illustrated his remarks with stere
opticau pictures of the ruins of ancient
Egypt. He also showed, by illustration on the
blackboard, how many of the letters of the
Eugiish language were derived from the
hieroglyphics of .the ancients, and how pict
ures were used to convey ideas. The poople
expected a great deal from Dr. Clifton aud
they were not disappointed. The mere
announcement of bis lecture brought forth
the largest audience since the opening of
the institute.
This evening Dr. Clifton lectured on
“India."
THOM ABVILLE TOPICS.
The Charity Hospital Organized—Sale
of a Ranch.
Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 2L—The

assist this good work can send donations to
the secretary and treasurer.
Judge Hopkins has sold the Metcalfe
ranch, consisting of 4.000 acres, twelve
miles below Thomasville, to H. Mason
of Philadelphia, for #20,000. The check was
received to-day.
It is currently reported on the streets
that Mitchell & Mclntire have sold out to
tho alliance syndicate, and that J. S. Mont
gomery will have charge of the new estab
lishment.
A Wedding at Calhoun.
Calhoun, Ga., Aug. 21.— An evont of
the season was the marriage yesterday
afternoon at 1:30 o'clock of F. L. Hicks and
Miss Ella Johnston at the Methodist church.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. M.
A. Mathews. The bride, groom and at
tendants were ail beautifully attired. At
3:30 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Hicks took a
southbound train for Adairsville, whence
they expected to extend their bridal tour
