(Continued from Page One.) built were unmarked that flags bad to be planted to designate the stations. Describing the dash over the Barrier on this trip Amundsen again lays tress upon the favorable conditions nd the ease with which the party got through. On the return from the return trip Amundsen described his joy at learning that the Kram had been able to work her way farther south, attaining the Southmost point ever reached by any vessel. That gave the double honor of being the "farthest couth" ship as well as having reached farthest north. Lowest Temperature. The lowest temiterature on this first Journey was 45 below zero but it was cl'iir and the surface of the barrier waa smooth. Few dangerous fissures wro found. In the meantime hunters were busy catching seals and by the arrival of winter the party had plenty of seal meat for their men and 110 dogs. The sun went down April 22 and four months of winter night set in. But the expedition had prepared well for it. Dog houses had been built and a veritable Ice .palace constructed for the men. There were living quarters, a bathroom, a workshop and an apartment for making observations, a 200 candlepowar lamp furnished light for the winter house. Tlie light boated the quarters and kept them at t!X degrees Fahrenheit. At first the party suffered from lack of ventilation but later this vas remedied and the winter was pent In preparing for the final dash. .The sledges were torn apart and lightened, tools were constructed and calculations worked out. Amundsen had expected terrible gales, but aside from heavy snow which nearly buried the Igloo, the weather remained fairly favorable. Another remarkable circumstance that differed from Arctic conditions was that the water remained open nearly all the winter. During the winter the thermometer ranged from 58 to 70 degrees below zero but the men did not suffer and when the sun finally rose on August 24 and the long winter night lifted, all were in perfect physical condition and the doga were fat and anxious for work. On Sept. 16, 1911, a party of eight men with sledges, ninety dogs and provisions for four months left the camp. The going was perfect and the weather fair, but a storm blew up unexpectedly and the thermometer fell to 76 degrees below tero. The men might have been able to stand this intense cold, but the dogs suffered so keenly that Amundsen's heart was touched and he gave the order to turn back. It was decided to wait further into the aummer before making another start. Several of the dogs died from cold on the return voyage and three of the men had their heels frost nipped. Madt Dally Progress. After the real start forty days later the party was able to make daily progress. Part of the trial followed was that originally taken by Sir Ernest Schackleton. Amundsen described the Journey onward which is a repetition of daily dashes of from 15 to 15 miles over the plains and glaciers without Incident or adventure. None of the men was injured and none suffered from exposure or Illness. Scaling the barrier with its altitude of 15.000 feet, the expedition ran into a gale at the very gates of the pole. It was at this time that 34 dogs were killed. On Nov. 30, the party struck Devils Glacier, a mountainous wall of ice that seemed to loom to the skies. Traveling was very difficult but on Dec. 8, tho bad weather ended and tho party entered a plateau. On the same day they passed the point farthest south reached by Sir Ernest Sbackleton and were within 100 miles of the goal. On December 14. wheu latitude 89 degrees and 55 minutes had been reached Amundsen knew that he had arrived. For three days the party explored the adjacent territory for an area of five miles. The un was bright, the sky clear and the weather Mindless. After the Norwegian flag had been planted on Dec. 17, the party, left their camp which had been named Po'.heim and started north. The journey like the dash south was without, adventure.

Caterpillars of 8ikkim. The sal-tree forest of Slkkim. in India, in the tropical gorge of the Teesta. is one of the breeding grounds of the myriad butterflies that swarm over the country. A traveler says that in' May and until the middle of June the tender leaves of the numerous trees are literally alive with voracious caterpillars. The presence of these caterpillnrs in sufh overwhelming numbers is expluined by the fact that they are distasteful to birds. Fowls that were offered them rejected them after a trial with disgust and went on wiping their bills for some time afterward. There are two species, one a bright coral and the other green with stripes.

Rflr. Automobile Buyer Remember when the first binder came out? It weighed from 2300 to 2800 pounds and required five, or six horses to pull it. If the grain was heavy, or the ground low and wet, you were unable to cut. Today the standard binder weighs from 1100 to 1200 pounds the weight of a Ford Model T and with three horses you can cut practically any kind of grain. Remember when the bicycle designer told you that you must have a heavy frame, 4-pound cranks and 3-pound rims; and that if you did not care to break your neck you had to push 60 or 70 pounds of dead weight around as a 'margin of safety'? Remember when you suddenly found that a 12-ounce crank properly constructed was stronger than a 4-pound one,.and that a 6-ounce rim was infinitely better than a 3-pound one? But here again it has to be made just right. Making it properly involved finding out what was wanted and where the strains and stresses came, and the exact prop6rtions of ingredients needed in the compound metal. Wasn't it sheer ignorance and laziness and trading on your credulity on the part of the manufacturers, which made you buy a 60-pound bicycle 20 years ago? Today it is exactly the same with the automobile. . Remember that weight means expense, because the manufacturer of a heavy chassis charges you for the useless weight that he incorporates in his machine; it also costs you money to buy tires and gasoline to propel and carry it around with you. Weight generally means weakness because, by any intelligent judge of an automobile, it is readily recognized that if a designer does not know exactly the strains and stresses, he has to make use of weight to allow for defects. The easiest way out of this is to allow what some socalled clever automobile design-ers call an 'ample margin of safety This is the excuse for charging you for pig iron weight and taxing you by way of tires and gasoline bills; when an intelligent manufacturer or engineer would give you a product properly designed and properly, constructed and many hundred pounds lighter. Wouldn't you sooner back the design of a man who had tried out every part in his car and had cut every superfluous ounce, rather than buy a 'margin of safety' which not only costs you money to buy and keep, but very often has a superfluous weight placed just where it is Not wanted. , If weight is an advantage why don't other car manufacturers advertise the fact? Look through the various catalogs of different automobile manufacturers and see how many of them say anything about the weight of their cars. Ford Model T Cars weigh about 1200 lbs. and we take pride in advertising this feature of Ford construction as a very important factor in reducing the expense of operation and upkeep to the owner. Just REMEMBER this little talk, Mr. Buyer, when you come to buy a motor car. Yours very truly, MODEL T FORD.
