DEATH OF DOCTOR NANSEN.

THE FAMOUS POLAR

EXPLORER...

Oslo, May 13. The death has occurred of the explorer, Dr. Nansen.-Reuter. Frithiof Nansen was born on father's estate of Store-Froen near Oslo (Christiana) in October, 1861. His father was a lawyer who had married the Baroness Wedel-Jaria- berg. He showed his love of nature by taking up the study of zoology, but he would never have thought of trying to reach the North Pole if Prof. Collet had not asked him to go to the "Arctic on a sailing ship in order to investigate the animal life in that region. On March 11, 1882, Nansen, at the age of 21, went on board the Viking at Arendal and sailed for the first time towards the North Pole.
