The result of the town election, which gave over the administration of town affairs to a democratic hoard of selectmen, was something of a sur- prise. While it was apparent that First Selectman Lathrop was likely to lose some support, it was not generally ex- pected that the dissensions of the s campaign would result in his defeat. It shows how sensitive the American voter 18 to anything which resembles arbitrary rule, and * that in public officials suavity is much appreciated. While the republicans sincerely re- gret the loss of First Selectman La- throp, they recognize that Mr. Lilli- bridge iIs a man who will give strict attention to the town’s business and is likely to make a first class record. The defeat of the no-license party by 445 majority was not wholly un- expected. The liquor interest is so well entrenched here that it cannot be easily overtbrown. There is no rea- son why the no-license forces should be dispirited since it was claimed by the license men that they would carry the town by 1,000. Norwich has been 1800 majority for license and there is an admonition in this falling away of support, which should be heeded. The liquor dealers should be observant of the law and of public sentiment, or the day will surely come when they will meet thelr Waterloo. The verdict of the people is usually right, and The Bulletin sees no o sion for repining. SPECIAL CENSUS AGENTS. Census Director . Dana Durand announces November 3 next as the date for making a practical test of the qualifications of applicants for appointment as special agents for the collection of the Thirteenth census statistics of manufactures and mines and quarries. Blank applications may be obtained now by writing the bu- reau of the census. No applications which are received after the close of business October 25 will be consid- ered. In a cireular of instructions relative to the subject, the director states that about January 1, 1910, the bureau will employ from 1600 to 1,800 special agents. As far as possible it is de- sired to obtain for this work persons who have had college or university counses in statistics or economics, and persons who have had service in the accounting department of some man- ufacturing or other business establish- ment. i When an application is complete in every particular it should be mailed to the director of the census, Wash- ington, D. C. Care should be taken to affix sufficient postage to the envelope containing the application. If the applicant’s statements as to business training and ecxperience and education are satisfactory, and the application is .complete in every re- #pect, & card will be mailed to the ap- plicant advising him when and where 1o appear to complete the prescribed practical test in filling out a schedule such as is required in the actual work of a special agent. Applicants must be careful to state in their applications the place select- ed for taking the pibictical Lest. A list of the places where this test may be taken s given below. The applicants must be citizens of the United States between the ages of 20 and 60 years; in good health, and physically able to perform the required duty; and of g00d character and habits. These facts must be vouched for by at least two persons who are personally acquainted With the applicant. Applications will be accepted from women having the required experience and education, but the opportunity for thelr employment in this work s slight, and few, if any, such appoint- ments will be made. Applicants must state in their ap- plications where they desire to take the practical test. Failure to do so may result in fallure to be examined. In this state these practical tests will be made at Hartford, New Haven and Middletown. CHURCH DAY AT ST. LOUIS. St. Louls, Mo, is booked for a week's celebratian of ‘the 100th anni- versary of its incorporation this week and Sunday ushered In the celebration with a grand tonal harmony- produced Dby the bells of 444 churches at sun- Tise, The great, extraordinary services of the day comprised a song service in the afternoon at the new Caliseum, in svhich 10,000 Sunday school children, ¥aembers of 150 Protestant churches, including aly Protestant denomina—d tions, participated. The three wost important Catholic events of Church day were a ponti- fical high mass at the old Cathedral, & relic of pioneer St. Louis, erected almost a century ago on the site of the former edifice of the Cathedral parish, which, having been organized in 1770, s older than the city. The children of the parochial schools of the city gathered in the afterncon _ &t the statue of St. Louis, in Forest | park, where there were songs and n agddress, concluding with the chant. % g of the Te Deum. The third nota- §ble Catholic function of the day was ¥ s pllgrimage to Cahokia, Ill, where " the oldest church of the west is lo- cated, . The Christian Scientist churches of held & mass meeting in afternoon at the Odeon, where a oture with centennial features was delivered. Every Christian Scien- tist within a radius of 100 miles of SL Loyjs has been requested to at- tend. The Jewish churches of the city began their céntennial celebration on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. Commemorative sermons and ad- dresses were heard in virtually all of the churches, armories and halis. The following impressive list of churches shows the religious devel- opment of the city in a century: Baptist 23, Catholic 76, Christian 15, Christian Scientist g, Congregational 21, Fnglish évangelical Lutheran 7, German' Tvangelical 24, German Evan- gelical Lutheran 22, Hebrew orthodox 9, Hebrew reformed 4, Methodist Epis- pal 26, Methodist Episcopal south New Jerusaleg 3, Presbyterian 42, erian, Cumberland 1, Presby- terian, United, 4, Protestant Episcopal 29, Reformed Episcopal 2, "nitarian 2, miscellaneous 110; total, not including the Evangelical alliange, consisting of | clergymen of different denominations, 444, “Church day” was preliminary to the most general and impressive cele- bration ever held in any city in the country. Among the features of the week will be aerial events in Which noted aero- nauts will sail the sky in balloons, air nd aeroplanes. will be almost daily pageants on land, and in a magnifiesnt parade on tije Mississippi river a tofpedo boat fleet of the United States navy will participate with river steamers and water craft of every description. The land pageants will include the time- honored and ever-impressive march through the streets of St. Louis of the Veiled Prophet, followed, as usual, by his ball, the chief social event, locally, of the year. St. Louis is showing the country this week that she capable of making the most of a important municipai event and to mark the dawn of a new era. PRUSSIAN FORESTRY. Prussia las national forests, cover- ing nearly 7,000,000 acres, which are ade up if the pineries of the southern states of this country and the forests of some of the middle Atlantic and central states were combined. When forestry was begun Wy Prussia, a great part of the timberland had been injured by mismanagement, much as American forests have been, and the Prussian foresters had to solve tha problem of improving the run- down forests out of the returns from those which were still in good condi- tion. They solved it with stri 8 success. Immense improvement has already taken place and is steadily going on. The method of management adopted calls for a sustained yleld—that is, no more wood is cut than the forest pro- duces. Under this management the growth of the forest, and consequently | the amount cut, has risen sharply. In 1830 the yield was twenty cubic feet acre; in 1865, twenty-four cubic in 1890, fifty-two cubic feet, and | sixty-five cubic feet. In other Prussian forest management 1904, words, has multiplied the rate of production threefold in seventy-five years. And the quality of the product has improv- ed with the quantity. Between 1830 and 1904 the percentage of saw tim- ber rose from nineteen per cent. to fifty-four per cent. The financial returns in Prussia make an even better showing. Net returns per acre in 1850 were twenty- eight cents. In 1865 they were sevei in 1900, $1.98; and They are now nearl, in ten times what they were sixty years ago, and they are increasing more rapidly than ever. These results have been obtained in Prussia along with almost igeal tech- nical success. When what is wanted is a sustained yield from the forest year by year in the long run, it is clearly necessary to have always a certain number of trees ready to be cut; there must be a proper proportion of trees of all ages. This percentage has been secured and maintained with almost mathematical accuracy. EDITORIAL NOTES.

TENTH INSTALMENT THE CONQUEST OF THE POLE. By Dr. Frederick A. Cook. (Copyrighted 1909, by The New York mpany. Registered in Cana— ordance with the Copyright :t. Copyrighted in Mexico under the ws of the Republic of Mexico. All rights reserved.) Over the newly discovered coast lines were written Bradley Land, in honor of John R. Bralley, the benefactor of the expedition. As we passed north of this land there was nothing sub- stantial upon which to fix the eye. There was at no time a perfectly clear horizon, but the weather was g00d enough to permit frequent nauti- cal observations. The course was lined on uninteresting blank sheets, but there were elusive signs of land | frequent enough to keep up an explor- rg enthusiasm. Mun, under the pressure of circum- will adapt himself to most ns of life, and to us the other rid environment of the polar pack, from terrestrial solidity, was be- ginning to be quite natural. There were at times sufficient surprise and novelty, mingled with pleasurable an- ticiption, not painful torture, to com- | pel mental interest and physical act- ir Thus day after day the marches were forced, incidents and the posi- tions were recorded, but the advent- vres were promptly forgotien in the mental bleach of the next day's ef- fort. The night of April 7 was made notable by the swing of the sun at midnight. " For a number of nights it made grim faces at us in its settting. A teasing mist, drawn as a curtain over the northern sea at midnight, had given curious advantages for c lestial staging: settling into this haze, we were unable to determine sharply the advent of the midnight sun, but here was a spectacular play which interested us immensely. Now the great bulk was drawn out egg-shaped = with horizontal lines drawn through it. Again, it was | pressed into a basin with flaming fires, burning behind a curtain of frosts; | blue at other times, it appeared like a huge vase, and il required very little imagination to see purple and violet flowers. The change was often like magic, but the last display was invariably & face—distorted faces of men or animals ‘were made to suit our fanc: We had, therefore, followed the sun's northward advance—from its first peep, at midday, above the south ice of the polar gateway to its sweep of the northern ice at midnight. From tha end of the polar night, late in Febru- ary, to the first of the double days and midnight suns we had forced a trail through darkness, blood-hardening temperature and over leg-breaking ir- regularities of an unknown world of ice to an area two hundred miles from the pole. To this point our destinies had been guarded very well, and ulti- mate success seemed within grasp, but e were noy blind to the long line of sy erate effort required to push over the last distance, Now we had the sun unmistakably at midnight, and its new glory was quite an incentive to our life of shiy- ers. Observations on April 8 placed camp at latitude 86 deg. 36 min,, lon- gitude 94 deg. 2 min. In spite of what seemed like long marches, we had oniy advanced 106 mileg in nine days. Much of our hard work was lost in clrcultous twists around _troublesome pressure lines and high, irregular fields of very old ice. The drift ice was throwing us to the east with suf- ficient force to give us some anxiety, but with eves closed to danger and hardships the double days of fatigue and glitter quickly followed one an- other. The temperature, ranging between thirty-six and forty-six degrees be- low zero Fahrenheit, kept persistent- Iy near the freezing point of mercury, and though the perpetual sun gave light and color to the cheerless wastee we were not impressed by any appre- clable sense of warmtih. Indeed, the sunbeams seemed to make the frost of the air plerce with a more painful sting. . There was a weird play of orgies, seemingly most impressive at this time—clouds of steam rose from the frozen seas. In marching over the golden glitter snow scalds the face, while the nose is bleached with frost. The sun rose into zones of fire and set into burning flelds of ice, but with paih we breathe the chill of death. In camp a grip of the knife left pain- ful burns from cold metal. To the frozen finger water was hot. With wine spirits the fire was lighted, while oil delighted the stcmach. In dreams heaven was hot, the other place was cold. All nature was false; we seem- ed to be nearing the chiiled fiame of a new Hades. In ourmhard life there was nothing genuinely warm. The congenial appearances were all decep- tion, but death offered only cold com- fort. There was no advantage in sul- ce W e should have enjoyed this curious experience, but with endless bodily dis- comforts, combined in aching muscles and an overbearing languor, there could be no real joy from the glories of nature. The pieasure was reserved for a later retrospect. We now changed our working hours from day to night, beginning usually at ten and ending at seven. The big marches and prolonged hours of travel with which fortune favored us earlier were no longer possible. Weather conditions were more important in de- termining the day'’s run than the hands of the thermometers. When the storms threatened the start was delayed, and in strong blows the march was shortened, but in one way or another we usually found a few hours in each turn of the dial dur- ing which a march could be forced be- tween winds. It mattered little wheth- er we traveled night or day—all hours and all days were alike to us—for we had no accustomed time of rest, no Sundays, no holiday, no landmarks or mile posts to pass. To advance and expend the energy accumulated dur- Ing one sleep at the cost of our pound ;f’ pemmican was the one sole aim in e. The observations of April 11 gave latitude 87 deg. 20 min., longitude 95 min. 19 sec. The pack disturbance of Bradley Land was less and less noted in the northward movement. The fields became heavier, larger and less crevassed. Fewer troublesome fioes and less new crushed new ‘ice were encountered. With the improved con- ditions, the fire of a racing spirit came for a brief spell. the highest We had now passed our predecessors and reaches of all gained the inepiration of the farthest north for ourselves. The time was at hand,” however, to consider eriously the necessity of an early return. Nearly half of the food allowance had been used. In the long marches supplies had been more liberally used than anticipated, and now our dog teams were much reduced in numbers. A hard necessity had forced the cruel law of the survival of the fittest, for the less useful dogs were fed to the working survivors, Owing to the food limits and the advancing season, we could not prudently continue the out- ward march a fortnight longer. We had dragged ourselves 300 miles over the polar sea in twenty-four days. Including delays and detours, thi gave an average of nearly thirteen miles dally on an air line in our course. There remained an unknown line of 160 miles before our ambitions could be satisfled. The same average advance which we had made on the pack would take us to the pole in thir- teen days. There was food and fuel enough to risk this adventure. With usual luek the prize seemed within grasp, but a prolonged storm, a deep snowfall or an active pack with open water would make our effort a failure. In the diary of the suceeeding days' doings there appear numerous tabula- tions of werk and observations. In the new cracks the thickness of the ice was measured. The water was ex- amined for life. The technical details for the making and breaking of ice Atmospheric, 8 were taken, the barom- the cloud formations, weather conditions and ice drifts were tabulated. There was a continuous Ms:umhm”! "I Saloags o, e apecihc t ngs to t! tails of the history of the explora- tion, which will utmr in the later pubiication of scfen data. This work, like the effort of the foot in the dally drive of duty, became more or less automatic, and does jnot at any time enter as ah active part of the story. As we now run along over seemingly endless flelds of ice, the physical appearances come under a careful scrutiny. I watched daily for possible signs of dangerous fajlure in strength, for serious disability now meant a fatal termination. A disabled man could neither con- tinue nor return, but every examina- tion gave another reason to push hu- man endurance to the limit of the strain of every fiber and cell. The hard work which followed, under an occasional burst of burning sunbeams, brougat intense thirst. Soup a Luxury. Forcing the habit of the camel, we managed to take enough water béfore starting to keep sufficient liquid in the veins for the day's march, but it was difficult to await the melting of the ice at_camping time. In two sittings—evening and morn- Itg -¢.ch took an average of three quarts of water daily. This included tite tea and also the luxury of an oc- casional soup. There was water about everywhere in heaps. but it was in crystals, and before the thirst could be quenched several ounces of precious fuel, which had been carried thousands of miles, must be used. And still this water, 50 expensive and so necessary to us, ultimately became the greatest bane to comfort. It escaped through the pores of the skin, saturated the boots, formed a band of ice under the knee ‘auc a belt of frost about the walst, while the face was nearly al- ways encased in a mask of les from the breath—a necessary part of our hard Iot in life, and we learned to take “the torture philosophi “From ice it comes, to ice it goes,” like. the other elements of the body, when the good preacher pronounces the last words, ‘from dust to dust.” From the eighty-seventh to the eighty-eighth parallel we passed for two days over old ice without press ure lines or hummocks. There was no discernible line of demarkation for the fields, and it was quite impossible to determine if we were on land or sea iy i ice. The barometer indicated no ele- ! no polar sea makes similar water. nautical observations did not indicate a drift, but' neverthel the combined tabulations not warrant the positive assertion of either land or sea for this area. An Air Line Course. This ice gave a cheering prospect; a plain purple and blue ran in easy uadulations to the limits of vision without the usual barriers of uplifted blocks. Over it a direct air line course was possible. Progress, how- ever, was quite as difficult as over the irregular pack. The snow was crusted with large crystals. An increased friction reduced the speed, while the surface, too hard for snowshoes, was also too weak to give a secure foot- ‘ng. The loneliness, the monotony, thr hardship of steady, unrelieved travel were now keenly felt. It 1s not often that a man's horse iz put to the test as curs was. We were compelled to develop a working energy to the limit of animal capaci- ty. Day after day we had pushed along at the same steady pace over plains of frost and through a mental desert. As the eye opened at the end of an icy slumber the fire was lighted little by little, the stomach was filled with liquids and solids, mostly cold— enough to last for the d: for there could be no halt or waste of fuel for midday feeding. We next got into harness and paced off the day's pull under the lash of duty; we worked until standing became impossible— longer in light winds, shorter in strong winds, but always until the feet be- came numb and heavy. Then came the arduous task of build ing a snow house. In this the eyes, longer able to wink, clesed, hut soon the empty stomach complained, and it was filled up again—not with things that pleased the palate, only hard fuel to feed the inner fires, while the ear sought the soft side of ice to dispel fatigue. No pleasure in mental recreation, nothing to arouse the soul from its icy inclosure. To eat. to sleep, to press one foot ahead of the other, was our steady vocation. Like the horse to the cart, but we had not his advantage of, an agreeable cliimate and a comfortable stable at night. Where Madness Sits. ! Words and pictures cannot afe- quately describe the maddening influ— ence of this sameness of polar glitter, combined with bitter winds, extreme cold and overworked body. To me there was always the inspiration of OUR LOSS ~ YOUR GAIN CATCHY ILLUSTRATED SONGS z v | i chnyl Mo, Welusy_anl_Fly anticipation of the outcome of ulti- maie success, but for my young sav- age companions it was a_torment al beyond endurance. Their weari- ness was made evident by a lax use o the whip and an indifferent urging of the dogs. They were, however, brave and faithful to-the bitter end, seldom allowing selfish ambitions or uncon- | trollable passions seriously to inter- fere with the main ‘effort of the ex- pedition. On the morning of April 13 a strain of writadng terment reached a break- ing point. For davs there had been a steady cutting wind from the west, which drove despalr to its lowest reaches. The west again blackened, to renew its soul-despairing blast. The sun was screened with ugly va pors, and the path was as cheerless as_the Arctic night. No torment could be worse than that never-ceasing rush of icy air. Ahwelah bent over his sled and re- fused to move. His dogs turned and looked inquiringly: I walked over and stood by his elde. Etukishuk came near and stood motionless, staring blankly at the southern skies. Large tears fell from Ahwelah's eyes and plled a little frost of sadness in the blue of his own shadow for several minutes; not a word was uttered, but I knew that each felt that the time had come to free the fetters of human passions.
