2.The efe:t of the same force upon the currents by which icebergs, flucs, etr,, are all carried through -the Polar Hasin, and thence through the channel hetween Greenland and the Spitzberg.3 The temperatkre, density and chemical constitien(s at various depths, of the arctic waters and those flowing in the polar basin, for the completo study of polar currents; 4.The direction and effect of the canted, of the .Gulf Stream, which, it is reaches the arctic sea: 8.The dirstion and sjronpth I SAS fe ee pe CASTORIA For Infants and Children.EZ ll Se served and registered of the pendulum at te North Pole, compared with the movements of the same to the equinoctial line, so as to cstablish the exact ratio between the two diameters of the carth: 4.Tho movement of the tides; K.The barometric and thermomy: ric observations which would lead to the knowledge of tle general Jdimatology of \u201cthat part of the world, and als) the conditions of the animal life under such latitudes; 9.The action of the electrical energy at the very summit of the word in such intensely cold regions, as it is a well known fact that the electricity is far more active and elective in culd climatzs than in tronical countries: 14.The still unaccounted for phenomenon of the aurora borealis; 11.The influence and the more or Jess extended radiation of all such phe NOMEN nS; 12.The relative density of the salt water at the North Pale and of tro soft water of the Siberian rivers flowing therein, the geography,.geology, xeodaesia, arography, fauna and flora of the arctic regions, and to what extent they could be practically utilised.At a national point of view, this (a- nada of ours has nothing to Inse, on the contrary, it can only be benefited in taking possession, by right of dis covery, and of itz being close to them of all the lands and seas of the Polar region.Reaching as it does the 14th meridian, or that of Alaska, such a pacific conquest, which would entail no mors expense than what is required for the contemplated expedition, would place the Dominion in a position to carr the Meridian further north, that is.as far as the Pole, thes adding to ile territory an arca of more than a thousand miles from north to south, and of about 1750 miles from cest to west, in all nne million and three quar ters of square miles.That thik\u2019 vast territory wouid t : more or less opened to mining, agricultural and commercial enterprisa, is not.of very great importance for the moment; the main point which has to being true to its national interests, should territory to become the property of other nations who, at this very moment, are taking sicps towards taking poaszmion of the same, with a view to increase their political and territorial influence, when the only thing our country has to do, is to assisl in con- {ributing as largely as posible to the expenm of the proposed expedition under the command of one of its sons, who, at any cost.is ready to start and take possession of the polar kingdom, in its naine.H is with the fecling of the deepest satinfaction, an account of the above mentioned rmasons, that the Geographi ral Society: of Gueher in witnessing the lively intcrest which js being centered upon a schame that was inaugurated under their auspicts, and upon the ence relie and generoug efforiz which fore being made by ils chicf promoter.In the Dominion of Canada, in Newfoundland, the proposed expedition hos been most favorably received, and strongly countenanocd by influential le.;

the tableir can be found at nny drug, store and if uned freely during the first few days of the attack will break it up.La grippe is a catarchal affection, the getmis are in the air, and no one in nepol aging §1, bit the thnely ww of Stuart's Catarth Tablets will prevent any serious results.the | top the list by a long way.3 North pole NB NB NBBBI BBBB ther his patriotic disintercstedness, he gratuitously oficra his services for an expedition which, to and fro, might probably last about four years.The Society is also of opinion that no other Canadian could easily be found in the whole Dominion who would be ready 19 undertake to carry on the enterprise of a Polar exploration and who, at the same time, would combine all the capacities which are to be found in Capt.Bernier for such an enierprise.Therefore, the Quebec Geographics!

unexpected death of Hon.J.Arthur la- quet, Senator of the LaSalle division, which sud event occurred at his residence, | D'Auteuil street, aboui ten o'clock yesterday morning.AU the commencement of February last lon.Mr.Paguetl, accompanied bv his wife, left on a business (rip to New York and st.Louis, Missouri, and also vi- siled New Orleans.During his trip he contracted a severe cold which, on his return to Quebec, dezencrated into en attack of grippe and finally congestion of the lungs.The deceased, feeling his end approaching, hastened to put his affairs in order, so that in case of death the extensive commercial and industrial pursuits of his father and himself could be continued without interruption.Consequently a company was incorporated this session under the name of The Paquet Company, Limited, the bill ving assented to on Tuesdav Lust by Lieut Æovernor Jette.The members of the Company were Hon.J.Arthur Paguet, Juseph 0e tave Paquet, trader, buth of Quebec, and George Alfred Vandry, bookkeeper, of 1148 citv.\u2018The capital of the Company was $1,500,000, divided into 15.- J shares of $100 cach, with power to increase the capital to $2,000,000.Yesterday morning at six o'clock the late Senator sent for Hon.V.W.La- Rue, Notary Public, who witnessed his signature to his will.He had full possession of Mis faculties up to a few.minutes before bis death, which occurred at 10.15.The deceascd.who was the third son of Mr.Z.Paquet, Quebec's prominent merchant, was born on the 5th September, 1857, and was educated at the Levis College and Commercial Academy.In 1875 he entered his father's business.and through his industry and business ca- pacitiés rose, at the earlv age of forty-four years, to be {he head of (one of the most extensive business concerns in this coun try.In 1X82 he married Miss Georgiana Boivin, of Montreal, who survives him.without children.All the establishments of the new Company were closed vesterdav at eleven o'clock out.of respect

its energies to | the special line of everything apyer- taining to house furnishings.In the new store you will not find dress goods (werds, ready made clothing or any, of the lines advertised at a sacrifice in another column.Look up the advertisement, and anything you want in those ines you can have at a sacrifice, SOUTH It is better to sell them cheap than have them carried over as dead

auspices of St Andrew's Ladies Aid, was one of unusual excellence.The attendance unfortunately was not as large as might have heen wished, but those who did attend had no regrets.Mrs, Gaudet, who is regarded as one of the best pianists among our local amateurs, Played a Spanish Wale of Renaud's, and Miss Constance Drum, a young lady of exceptional promise, played Liz's Rigoletto, which abounds in technical acrobatics.Mr, llced, the able organist of Chalmer\u2019s Church, delighted the audience by his playing of Dubois\u2019 Toccata and Leumen\u2019s Marche Triomphale, while the Misses Ritchie and Breakey were heard in an excellent piano duett.The other instrumental number was furnished by the well- ways well received.The vocal part of the programme was provided by Miss Griflith, Mr.Reid Dobell and Miss Lillian Meservy, all of whom were well received and compelled to respond to recalls.Indeed, a similar penalty was exacted from nearly all who took part in the programme.A recitation was given by Mr, Black, and it is not flattery to say that Mr.Black stands alone in his class.Altogether = the Ladies\u2019 Aid is 10 be congratulated on the excellent entertainment provided.pep JUBILEE SINGERS.The sale of seats for the Jubilee Singers is being taken advantage of by a large number.In order to secure a meat, cail at once, As a murical organization the Jubilee Singers, who entertained a large audience in the Western Methodist Church on Thursday evening last, are without in their clase.The company con- sigls of eight voices, and both in chorus and solo work they are grand.The programme, which consisted of eighteen sclections, both vocal and in- airumental, Was varied and excellent.Every number was rendered with a gwoep and sweetness which greatly pleased the audience.The work of every member was fine, but meation might be made of some of the best, if there is any best.Madame Marie Dorma, who certainly ranks high as a singer, was well received.Mr.C.H.Francts, who has a fine tenor voice, in his rendition of \u2018Mandy ,\" had an excellent opportunity of displaying it, while for an encore a humorous piece brought.down (he house.Mr.E.S.Thomas, the basso, was in good voice, and his singing of \"Rocked in the Cradle of Decp,\u201d\u2019 as an encore, was gomething to remember.The per formance on the trombone, by Mr.F.N.Warner, the singing of the Male uartette, and the work of the or- chewira, under the leadership of Mr.L.A.lucas, were among the other pleasing features of the evening's entertain ment.Every piece wap heartily encored, and the member of the organiza tion were very generous, responding in nearly every instance.~Napanee Siar, March 30, 1901, Y.M.C.A, office, Minimum and maximum temperatures
