pole
The question wfis put to Comman
der Robert K. I'enry, U. 8. N., while
he was doHcrll)ln the details of the
forthcoming expedition.
In reply Commander Peary gave
thin picture of the landncape at the
north pole:
"From all the scientists know and
from all the Inferences to he based
upon that knowledge, the first white
nan to stand at the north pole will
tot see a Beene very different from
those traversed by most explorers In
t lie arctic. It Is not likely that
there will be even a mound of ice
to mark the actunl pole."
"It will be as Imaslnnry and In
visible then, as the equator?"
"Precisely, The man standing
at the pole, though," added
the explorer, "will look upon a novel
and mnrvelous srene from the astro
nomical standpoint. He will seo the
sun like a wheel of Are, circling the
horizon like a whocl Instead of ris
ing anj setting. From day to day
it will gradually aflcend higher and
higher. In a flattened spiral.
"The sun will appear above the
horizon on March 22, at the vernal
equinox, it will not set forslx months
On June 22, Rt the Summer solstice.
it will be highest In the heavens.
Then It will slowly descend lower
and lower until the diHk disappears
cn Sept. 22.
"At night, too, the stars will be a
rtirious sight. Only those of the
northern celestial hemisphere of
course, are visible there. Directly
ovarhead not precisely, but nearly
s,o will be the polar star. Only it

will be fixed. All the others revolve
in widening circles. The stars
on
the horizon will always be there.'
"la this the sum total of the land
scape at the north pole the goal of
the civilized nation, to reach which
countless men have sacrificed their
Uvea?'-
Commander Per.ry retorted.
"So long as the 2,000,000 square
ai'.les of unknown area at the north
pole and the 8,000,000 square miles
at the south pole are unvislted by
civilized men.
His voice had the sharp resonance
of determination; his square Jaw was
set. In his gray-blue eyes wns the
Are that must have lighted the faces
of Jason and Columbus.
"The general plans of the last ex
pedition will be followed," he said,
"with some Important variations
based on our experiences then. Sail
ing from New Yor': In the Roosevelt,
In June, or not later than the 1st
f July, we should reach Greenland
about August 1.
"Thence the way lies along the
west coast of Greenland, through
Baffin Bay, Smith Sound, and Kane
BfcRln, lth Eilesmere Lund to the
westward. This will bring us to
Kennedy and Robeson Channels,
rasslng through which we expert to
Sain our old winter quarters at Cape
Sheridan. This Is In Grantland,
est of Greenland. It Is one of the
aorthernmost reelons of solid
found known to man.
"Early In February wo will start
from Cape Sheridan for the north.
The Journey to the polo should be
underway In good earnest lufore the
early days of March. Our equip
ment will be practically the same as
In the expedition of 1905-6. I want
to have 200 dogs, 25 sledges and
25 men, with Eskimo assistants from
Whale Sound, similar to those In the
previous expedition. The Journey
to the north by sledge should con-
ume from 100 to 120 days. ' We
hould be back on the mainland
mrae time In Juno 1909."

It also Improves the skin, but one
should avoid freckling, burning nut;
tanning the skin too frequently. The
exposed skin can bo made much less
sensitive to the action of the sun's
rays by first treating it to a good
coating of cold cream, thori'.ijrhi?
rubbed in, and then applying powder.
Avoid washing for some hours after
exposure to sunshine or if necessary
use water as hot as can be endured.

Storage Plitnt by Klertrlc M.or.
Horseless wngons, smokeless pow
der, noiseless guns and Ireless i"n
boxes! The n.-tt Item Is described
In Populnr Mechnnles. It consists
of an electric motor belted to a pu nip
which keeps a pooling solution mov
ing through a set of plprs which aro
plnc.d In the refrigerator.
"These pipes are slmllnr to the
steam or hot water radiators In the
living rooms, only they cool instead
of hent the apartment.
The machine Is automatic and con
stantly maintain: whatever degree
of cold Is selected. The moment the
thermometer rises above that point
the machine starts up of itself and
works until the apartment is suf
ficiently cooled then It stops of It
self. The whole affair Is so simple as
to require practically no attention,
except an occasional oiling, which la
no more difficult than to oil a sewing
machine. At trifling expense one
can also fix up a basement room as a
cold storage for large supplies, sacks
of potatoes, &c, which It Is now Im
poslble to keep In the average resi
dence. In many families the saving ef
fected by p'.irchasing supplies In
quantities Instead of from day to
day would bo enough to pay the en
tire cost of operating the cold stor
age system; If not, the amount for
merly spent for ice certainly would.
iieen Who Objects to Cot sets.
Queen Amalla has the most won
derful taste In dress and Paris cos
tumers are never tired of loi tiding
her praises. At the same time her
Majesty believes It quite an easy
matter for a woman to hav a per
fect fitting gown without the aid of
corsets.
When the Roentten rays were dis
covered she had a tight laced lady
rhotographed in order to demon
strate scientifically to the ladles of
her court, the evils of the practice.
She is never tired of preaching the
value of outdoor athletic exercises
for women. She Is a magnificent
swimmer a wonderful rider, an
untiring cyclist and a good shot. And
to such pursuits she attributes the
beautiful figure which she pc guesses.

Austrian Icicle Factory.
In Austria "Ice silcks" are manu
factured at a profit. A series of
poles Is arranged so that the water
will fall slowly over each one In the
series. Of course, the water In the
winter time freezes, forming large
Icicles. When the icicles have at
tained the proper Blze, the employees
of the "ice plant' come around with
carts, break off the great sticks of
Ice and haul them away to a placa
where they are put in storage. Of
course it is much easier to hand'e a
large quantity of Ice In tills way than
It is to cut If from some str.'itin and
pack It away. There may. however,
be a difference !n p.unllty between
stick ice und lake or river .ce. The
Puthfindt-r,
A Cheeky "1VI1I.
R. W. Hebberd, New York's Cor.i
missioner of Churitles, showed In a
recent address the effect charity has
on some people.
"An old woman in Utica," he said,
"had received a pint of milk and a
loaf of bread daily for eight or nine
years from a rich young matron. The
old woman died the other week, and
It was found that she hnd left a will.
In this brief testament she bequeath
ed her dully bread and mil!, to her
nephew."
Jews nntl Clin Championship.
The chess championship has been
retained in Jewish hands for the
last forty-two years. Steinitz held
It for twenty-eight yenrs till 1894,
and Lasker has been champion ever
since. Dr. I.aaker attributes this
jredominnnee of the Jewish genius
In chei:r to the fact that Its rules are
entirely based upon those of self-defence
In the struggle of life, and the
Jews are adepts In thla art.
I'seful Tears.
Tears have their use apart from
the crying aspect, Inasmuch as they
refresh and wash the eyes of ani
mals and birds who live exposed to
the dust. The eye requires to be
kept clear and clean, and tears per
form this duty. A striking examplo
of this Is shown when tho eye is
hurt, It at onre commences to water,
find often thla natural method of
cleansing relieves tho pain and re
moves the cause of the discomfort.
