Early next summer an Antarctic exploration expedition will set out from St. Elmo, France. The expedition will be under Dr. Jean Charcot, the famous French explorer who is now busily making his preparations. Discussing his plans, Dr. Charcot said; We hope to be able, to on our journey in July, and our intention is to be absent for a period of two years. In view of contingencies, however we shall have with us sufficient provisions to last three years. Our expedition is bent on scientific work. Of course, we shall try to get as near to the pole as possible, but if We fail we .shall do everything possible to acquire knowledge of the region. An important part of our equipment will be motor sleds, which are being generously built by the Marquis do Dion. With these we shall make experiments in the Alps during this winter. Of course, the geographical success of our expedition will depend upon the ice conditions and upon what we shall find, but Grahame and Alexander lands are very rich for scientific research. The ship foi- the expedition is being built at St. Malo, and in her designs we have been greatly helped by the advice of Dr. Bruce, the late commander of the Scottish expedition. The ship will be specially strong in view of the ice pressure, and will be of barquentine rig, with compound engines of 550 horse power. She is to be 135 feet in length, with a beam of 30 feet and will Carry 230 tons of coal and 100 tons of provisions, sufficient to-' last for three years. The crew will consist of 22 men, ten of whom were members of my last expedition. The scientific staff, in addition to myself, will number three naval officers, two zoologists, one geologist, and one scientist for magnetic and photographic work. With regard to the funds of the expedition, the French chambers have already voted Soo.ooo franc***, while another sum of equal amount will also be voted by parliament. Private subscriptions have already yielded G5,ooo francs. The academy of sciences has prepared our scientific program, and the Commission of Missions of the Ministry of Public Instruction has drawn up a very favorable report on the subject of our proposed expedition. The marine department is giving the necessary coal and a very valuable collection of scientific instruments, while the Oceano- grap'hical Institute of Paris, founded by the Prince of Monaco, is also helping me.

The reopening of the great St. Clair tunnel connecting the United States and Canada, recently, was marked by the attendance of leading railroad officials, electrical experts, municipal and government officers. Since the tunnel was closed the Grand Trunk railroad has electrified the service between Port Huron and Sarnia, and the re-opening marks the completion of the largest electrical contract ever carried out in America. The change in the system was caused by the number of casualties that occurred in the tunnel LOCAL AND DISTRICT NEWS. The Mission day school will close for the Christmas holidays on Tuesday next.

The entertain;'lent and sale of work held by the Woman's Auxiliary last evening in the Mission School room was a pronounced success in every way. All of the goods which ,the women have been engaged in making for nearly two months past found a ready sale and worn bought entirely up. Mrs. Field and Mrs. Loring, in charge of the booth where these goods were displayed, were sold out early in the evening.

HE TELKWA mm Sites Discussed in Open Meeting ia Bulkley Valiey. A public meeting was held at the New Telkwa Hotel on the evening of Tuesday the eighth, and was attended by some eighty odd residents of the Balkley Valley. The object of the meeting was to prove the desire of the majority of the settlers to have a bridge across the Bulkley River, above the mouth of the Telkwa, built on the site originally chosen by Mr. J. H. Gray, who had ridden in, at his great inconvenience, on purpose to throw whal lij-'ht he could on the subject. The chairman's duties were ably performed by Mr. C. J. Hastings. Mr. E. Hoops kindly acted as secretary. In a very concise speech Mr. Gray pointed out that he had carefully measured the river at three different points, and from this measurement and an examination of the river bottom, had selected the site immediately above the mouth of the Telkwa, giving it the preference on account of the span being shorter (100 feet), the bridge being in the safest place from drift during high water, and both piers being placed or the solid bed rock. Added to this, taio Mr. Gray, the fact that y^u have the material on the ground and everything ready to continue work, I should certainly consider the selected site the more desirable one. In answer to Mr. Stevenson's inquiry whether this material would not build a bridge three hundred feet further upstream, Mr. Gray said: "It mijjht build half a bridge at that site, but the plans would not dc even for that half," and then went on to give the measurements of the upper span, and quoted the mien span as measuring one hundred and fifty feet. Rev. Mr. Stevenson said that this material could be used to build half the bnidge and a further appropriation sought from the government: but could not believe that it would be necessary to procure new plans and specifications; nor '-vould it icca3ion any delay. Mr. Mark Carr then pointed out that though half a loaf was better than no bread, half a bridge was litte better than none; and dwelt on the difficulty of swinging a span across the river at high water, Mr. Stevenson then arose ahd made a motion that any speaker might only occupy the floor for a limited time; and then proceeded to make irrelevant statements for so long that he occupied the rest of the time in apologising for, and taking back most of them. However, b". pointed >>ut that as Broughton & McNeil were the pioneers in the valley, they wore entitled to have the bridge anywhere ! whose only desire is a bridge, handy to the ferry, at once. In a brief but effectual speech Mr.P.R. White brought many weighty arguments before the meeting as to whether the bridge should be built on the selected site or not. He also showed that Mr. Stevenson had already acquired a reputation for being of a flexible disposition, as he had at first opposed the Copper River trail and then,when it had become an assured tiling, had turned and favored it. But he (Mr. White) would like to know of what use the Copper Trail would be with no bridge at the Telkwa end of it, and he felt assured that if the present bridge idea was abandoned, our chances for having a bridge for another year, at least, were very slim. Mr. Mar!: Can' t-gain went on to ex** plain that there was no question of friends or party, but having his bridge gang on the ground and everything ready to proceed with construction, he regretted very much that this dispute over its location should have occurred; and, if there were any grounds for it, that if had nr)t occurred earlier as he was confident that if this bridge was not built at once there would be no bridge next summer and the unfortunate prospector, down from his claims, would again have to starve himself and his horse while awaiting the pleasure of the whilom ferryman. After several lively sallies, which began to asurr.e the aspect of war between the rival townsites, Aldermere and Telkwa, Mr. J. Thompson wisely made a motion that a ballot be taken whether the settlers of the valley wanted the bridge built on the selected site or not. The ballot to be marked "Yes" or "No." The motion was carried unanimously and return? of the vote showed the majorijy to be in favor of the immediate building of the bridge on the selected site. There is no doubt that the majority would have been much larger had it not been for the fact that, though the meeting was fairly representative, there were present a number of comparative strangers, desirable ones too as wage- earners are not so plentiful here, but men who had absolutely no interest in the country, and could not be brought to understand that the stopping of work at this time would mean the indefinite delay of the bridge. Added to this a natural soreness that they had not been able to secure work on the bridge when it was under way, it being absolutely impossible to hire them ali, it was only natural they should like to see a more expensive bridge built, hoping that the changes thus brought about would furnish them with employment. It is hoped by the greater part of the ranchers and all of the miners in the country that by the time this article goe3 to print the bridge tvill be going merrily, o^ the old plans, in the old place, wi.n the old gang, composed of nen who have spent from four to twelve years in this country; and if they do happen to be sti angers to some of ua it is only because th"ir time mostly has been Bpent far from the beaten track; hunting for the minerals they have proved to exist. It is on the mines that ��� he future of our country most depends 08 the farming lands must lean to a considerable extent on the rapid development of our mines for that profitable market which is the essential. L. MULVANY. The scientists are finding out many things about ancient nations, some of which may be true and some not. Inference is often advanced as fact. Guesses grow into possibilities, and possibilities into improbabilities, and probabilities into certainty. Dr. G** M., Kyle tells a story which illustiates? one method of argument. An Assyrilologist boasted to an Egyptologist that "the Assyrians understood electric telegraphy because we have found wire in Assyria." "Oh," said theother, "We have not found a scrap of wire in Egypt, therefore we know the Egyptians understood^ wireless telegraphy." ��� Home" Herald.

The Conservative idea was to have him finish it a few weeks ago, but the people said they would give him five more years to clean up in. Clean up is a good word. Sir Wilfrid will do well to roll it over in his mind and prepaid. Some newspapers have heen saying': ''The hundred- million-dollar man for ours." Well, we've got him. it is now, as we take it, up to the hundred- million-dollar man to achieve another kind of reputation���& reputation for thrift and economy. A man is not great simply because he is expensive, though vulgar persons often reason that way. There is a better fame to be won than that of being a high- roller. It speaks a sort of newness in our national life, a sort of nouveau-riche purse proudness that we should be so keen on squandering. At all events, it is no sign of gentility. It shows rather that one is not to the manor born. It is the ostentation I of a young country, and may be noticed also in the United States. The fact of the matter is that this Canada of ours has been spending money like a drunken sailor. Its best friends, including j Sir Richard Cartwright, say so, although they are too polite to put it that way. The national transcontinental railway will cost $250,000,000. The Hudson's Bay railway���if it ever comes to anything���will cost millions more. These enterprises should be looked into with a view of finding out the leaks. It may even be advisable to stop and think whether it is wise to build the Hudson's Bay railway at all. The United States with twelve times as many people as Canada, spends only six times as much money every year. Man for man, the Canadian spends on his national business two dollars and a half to the American's one. The game of borrowing from John Bull we play with the greatest hilarity. Our future we mortgage with delightful irresponsibility. Once upon a time it was the United States that had the name of taking long chances, and Canadians were supposed to be good old sober-sided six-percenters. Now Canada can teach them all something in high . finance. It may not be time for i a change, but it certainly is time ito begin saving our change.��� | collier's Weekly. "If the human race was evolved from monkeys, it at least has the satisfaction of knowing that its ancestors were intelligent," said the thoughtful thinker. "How's that?" queried the dense party. "They were educated in the highest branched," explained the thoughtful thinker. EXPERIENCE OF WHALERS. Men Record Thrilling Adventure in Pacific Waters. Attacked by a gigantic whale which smashed their boat to pieces by a mighty sweep of its tail, Second Mate John Thomas, Boat Steerer Joe Sever and four seamen of the whaling barque John and Winthrop, which arrived at San Francisco after a ten months' cruise in the South Seas and along the coast of Japan, nearly lost their lives in the blood-tinged waters. They were far from the barque when the whale, maddened with pain, turned upon thern, and they surely would hav-* perished had they not clung to pieces of wreckage until picked up by a rescue party, which had witnessed the movements of the enraged whale from the barque. The whale had been harpooned by Sever and with the harpoon imbedded in his head and the rope paying out like lightning, was headed for the open sea. For nearly half a mile the whale boat tore along through the water as if propelled by steam. Far ahead the whale was spurting spirals of blood-colored water into the air. The line was now let out slower and at last brought taut, while the whale, apparently realizing his ultimate defeat, turned about and headed directly for the boat. Before the men could grasp their oars ahd put about the leviathan was uptfn them and in an instant they found themselves in the water with pieces of their boat floating ahout them. The movements of the animal had kicked up the water into foaming billows and it was with great difficulty that they could ket*'p their heads above the surface. No sooner had the whale demolished the boat than he dived deeply into the sea, leaving a blood-red trail behind. As best they could the whalers clung to oars and portions of the wrecked craft. They were in the water for nearly an hour before a rescue party from the barque reached them. Their predicament had been seen by the man in the crow's nest, who is always on duty with a glass to watch for such mishaps. chains, south 80 chains, west 20 chains more or less to the river, thence up the river to point of commencement.

The Oldest Treaty. The oldest text of a real treaty now in existence is that of the convention between RamesesII., king of Egypt, and the Prince of Kheta, which embraces the articles of a permanent offensive and defensive' alliance, with clauses providing for the extradition of emigrants, deserters, criminals and skilled workmen. This treaty was drawn up in the fourteenth cUntury B.C. and is the earliest record that we have of any international transaction. DQr���DCDLXZ jLjO The incumbent of an old church in Wales asked a party of Americans to visit his parochial school. After a recitation he invited them to question the scholars and one of the party accepted the invitation. "Little boy," said hn to the rosy-faced lad, "can you tell me who George Washington was?" "Iss, surr," was the smiling reply. " 'E was a 'Meri- cange'ral." "Quite right. And can you tell me what George Washington was remarkable for?" "Iss, surr. 'E was remarkable 'cos 'e was a 'Merican an' told the trewth." The rest was silence.��� cassell's Journal. "Johnnie, I will give you a quarter if you can get me a lock of your sister's hair."
