De Long Discoveries Expand Arctic Knowledge
The Jeannette expedition greatly advanced Arctic geography despite wreck and disaster. It proved Wrangel Land’s limited extent northward, discredited a continental Arctic theory, documented a polar northeast ocean, and identified new islands. It showed a navigable polar sea, absence of extensive ice, and framed Wrangel Land and Franz Josef Land as key divides in the polar current system.

Conductor's Practical Joke Ends With Handcuffed Pair
A Butte merchant and a San Francisco traveler were handcuffed together on a train by a conductor as a prank. The Sheriff held the key, but it was misplaced, forcing the pair to be freed with a file at the next station. The incident drew laughter and a vow to be more cautious in future jokes. Also included is a Boston tramp tale about a man with a silver dollar making ninety cents disappear after a small mercy.
