After eleven and a half years in the polar regions. I wrote ‘The Friendly Arctic,’ which contains in narrative a picture of the polar regions as I now see them. “I had imagined that the reader of that sort of book would draw from the facts the same conclusions which I had drawn, and so I left the read ers to find that people read the book as a story and only few have seen the lesson behind. I have written a third book, ‘The Northward Course of Empire.’ which draws the appropriate conclusions from the facts presented in my other books. It will be published Aug. 24. World Over-Populated "Ths world is becoming over-popu-lated and we already foresee the time when we shall have to .use more ingenuity and energy than at present to keep the world fed. The only unoccupied lands are in northern Siberia, northern Canada and northern Alaska, and I am trying to show people how they can make use of those lands for colonists, who shall produce there food for export to the great cities of the South."
