A MODERN home built In the Arctic defied the denth-dealing cold of the Polar Regions and proved an Invaluable aid to Lieutenant Commander Richard E. Byrd In his successful Hight to the North Foie, which he circled three times in a record breaking flight of 1,50) miles In 15 hours and SO minutes at an average speed of 05.75 miles an hour. It was at the Spitsbergen base. King’s BAy, where this first modern house was constructed amid the snow and ice of th* Arctic Immediately upon the arrival of Lieutenant Byrd and his companions, as a permanent home and observation station for the explorers. The house, which

rose up on the horizon of the frigid north In marked contrast to the igloo of the eskhno, was equipped with a complete radio outfit that those who remained at the base while Lieutenant Byrd made his thriHing dash to the Pole In his spliedlng Fokker might keep In touch with their chief and the outside world, which they kept Informed as to the progress and success of the flight. It was to this same home that he returned after hla hazardous trip and from which some of the first messages were sent to the wafting public, telling them through the lanei of air that Byrd had circled the l>«le three times and had returned to his Spltzbergen home in safety, adding one of the most memorable pages to the history of Arctic exjdoratlon. Sagar Cane Fights Polar North. When Lieutenant Byrd left the Brooklyn Navy Yard on the ship Chantier he declared he had the best and most scientifically equipped expedition that ever had started fbr the North Pole Special plans were made for the erection of his Arctic home. Boards of celotex Insulating lumber made from bagasse (sugar cane fiber after all sugar juices have been extracted) were carried along with the latest inventions to aid In polar exploration. This building material Is very light and is filled with millions of air cells, which give It great Insulation value and resistance to change in temperature, especially the severe cold. One odd circumstance In connection with the use of this material Is that the sugar cane of the aoutlr was utilized to fight the cold of the north. Celotex was selected instead of lumber becausie tests made by the United States Bureau of Standards and Its universal w In building construction all over the world, had demonstrated that this insulating lumber would kop thv quarters of the explorers warmer and protect their living conditions more securely than ordinary building material. . It was only after capful Investigation by the scientific men in the celotex was selected. These authorities pointed out that the protection afforded by its Insulation efficiency was three times as great as ordinary lumber and nearly twelve times as great as that of brick tad other masonry material. The ship .Chantier also was lined with celotex as aw added precaution to keep the ship warm while the explorers used it in the preliminary stages of the exi>edltlon. In practically other way this expedition was more scientifically prepared than any of its predecessors. These included inventions of Commander Byrd himself. A simplessun compass conceived by Byrd and developed by Mr. Bprnstead of the National Geographic Society, BupenM»deg.the complicated German device, developed three years ago for Amundsen. The drift indicator also was Byrd’s Invention. The bubble sextant by which the navigator obtains his bearings while In flight was another one of his Inventions. Still another scientic development was a quick method of telling when one Is at the North Pole. This has been worked out by G. W. Llttlehales. the navy’s hydrographic engineer. Device Locates the Pole. Byrd and others contributed to a chart of the magnetic lines flowing toward the. magnetic North Pole, which Is In Bolthla Land, 1.200 inllee south of the Pole. Between Bolthla Land and the Pole the campass points •outh Instead of north and over much of the Arctic it is badly disturbed by the discrepancy of position between the geographical North Pole and the magnetic North Pole. This chart of the magnetic lines, flowing to the magnetic North Pole, although it was far from complete, was such as to enable the navigator to tell in what direction the compass should point from any spot tn the Arctic. With this knowledge, the erratic behavior of the compass becomes orderly and It is once again a useful instrument. A third type of compass used was a device of Infinite sensitiveness—a revolving electrical coll, which is adjusted to a given relation with the magnetism of the earth. This, the sun compass, and the magnetic compass were each used to correct the other. Lieutenant Byrd In his flight used a quick method of telling when he was actually at the Pole. This was the* Invention worked out by Mr. Llttlehalea. the U. 3. Navy hydrographic engineer. It shows the sun’s position from the North Pole at every hour of the day and every day of the year. When the flyer is near the Pole he can, by ascertaining the exact position of the sun, prove that he is near the Pole. Fliea 3,000 Miles Over Arctic. The expedition, backed by such men as John D. Rockefeller, Jr., tad Theodore Roosevelt, Jr n bad three main objects. _ .

With him this time Commander Byrd took a noted fuel expert, who is Flying Commander G. O. Noble, as if requires great skill and pains to prevent the freezing of lubricating oil and stiffened action of the motors, if forced to work on the plane in the open at great altitudes with the thermometer at 60 to 70 below zero. The points which favored the. month of May were that the Arctic fog had not begun to rise and heavy snows still covered the land and afforded many gdod landing places. A factor of safety pointed out by Commander Byrd in connection with the use of the Fokker machine is that It carries a reserve engine. It has three engines. With a light load one is expected to be sufficient to maintain the plane In flight; With a normal load, two engines will do the work. If two engines breafc down at one time, when the plane is not too heavily loaded, It may fly with the use of one engine. The Fokker machine has a wingspread of slightly more than 64 feet. It Is said to be a marvel of airship construction. Tlie other airplane—the Curtis Oriole —was to have been used chiefly v ln finding landing fields so that if the fliers found their main landing place covered with a fog they might go elsewhere. The Chantier was equipped with a powerful radio transmitter to send back the news of the expedition. The Fokker also is equipped with a receiving and transmitting set Commander Byrd not only kept the world Informed of the progress of t the expedition, but received through the Chantier weather warnings to guide him In his flight. How Expedition Wa» Equipped. Forty-five hundred pounds of whole beef were included in the rations of the Byrd crew of forty-seven fliers, seamen and technicians. Also four hundred pounds oi pemmlcan (meat fats atfd raisins), huge quantities ol bacon, dried miHj, erbswurst (pea soup) and other sup piles in proportion were carried along. Cod liver oil was included for its healthful properties. Herbert Griggs who had charge of provisioning Peary’s expedition In hh famous dash to the Pole, worked out the rations for tht Byrd explorers. Two pounds per man per day was tht allowance to take care of all emergencies. No amount of clothing is really sufficient when flyins 1,000 or more feet in the air In the Polar regions, but every possible precaution was taken by Commander Bjtc against exposure. The men were equipped with tht warmest and lightest of reindeer suits and with fut parkas, a garment that reaches to the knees and has s hood covering the head. Plenty of goggles were found to be an absolute necessity to protect them against tht glare of the snow. In' spite of all precautions the undertaking was full of unseen danger. None of this equipment would bt of the slightest avail against some unexpected and un preeedented situation which might arise. There is always the danger of snowblindness, exhaustion, freezing, some mishap to the engine. Lieutenant Byrd and his companions, however, were particularly fortunate in escaping with practically ho ill effects except the exhaustion du< to such a perilous trip. Pick Up loe Pilot. The ship Chantier’s first stop was at Tromso, Norway where an Ice skipper was taken on to pilot the Chantiei and its crew through the Ice-filled waters around Spltzbergen to King’s Bay, where preparations for the first flight to the Pole were made. The planes, the instrument! and the various oil mixtures used In connection with tht airship tests, were carefully examined and tested. Lieu tenant Byrd’s original plans called for six flights as follows 1 — A 400-mile flight from Spltzbergen to Peary Lane to unload oil, provisions and equipment at a place that looks promising for a landing. 2— A 400-mlie flight back to Spitsbergen. 3— A second 406-mlle .flight from Spltzbergen to Pearj Land base with further food, fuel and equipment. 4— An 850-mlle flight to and around the Pole and back to the Peary base. 5— An 800-mlle round trip flight to the northwest ovei unexplored areas in search of new lands. 6 — A 400-mile flight from the Peary Land base back tc Spltzbergen. It was his plan In his second flight to attempt to dis cover new land, but when he received the report of tht flight of Amundsen in his dirigible, In which it was statec that the Norge bad failed to find any trace of new land, Llentenant Byrd decided to abandon further flight; and the trip over land on sleds he had planned In hl: search for new land In unexplored areas. Now he ha; decided to try to accomplish by airship at the Soutt Pole what he did at the North. As he left the Spitzbergen base be stated that he would have just as well an equipped expedition for his southern flight as he had In his recent adventure in the North.

1 — To prove that air navigation tn the Arctic is feasible and that freight and messenger travel over the top of the world Is certain to come. 2— To hunt for new land in the unexplored areas of the Arctic. 3— To conquer the North Pole from the air as a sporting adventure and as a demonstration of what a plane can do —not a geographical study, as the Pole was bagged

for all time by Admiral Peary. Probably no one knows more about Arctic flying than Commander Byrd. From the Greenland base of the MacMillan expvdition at Etah last year he flew 3,000 miles over the Arctic, studying the behavior of oil, motors, compasses, and other navigation instruments at great altitudes over, the Polar

American Mind Awake to Value of Beauty It was only about a decade ago that we prated about periods. Rooms must be done In the style of the Italian renaissance, or that of Louis XV, or the Georges, or in that of any other, down through the periods that had come and gone. We were rabid on details and historical data and cared little for the sense of fitness of things. But now In America we ar£ quite different. A more genuine love of beauty has been a mighty leveler, and we cry for homes and beauty therein, whether these homes be as sumptuous as a palace or as unpretentious as a country cottage. Realizing, too, as we do, that the highest creative art comes from a wise and moderate use of what has gone before, we are sensitive to the lure of old furniture. There is a subtle fascination that emanates from the revered work of the long ago craftsman that, like a magnet draws the lovers of the beautiful to those shops which treasure the handiwork of several centuries ago and creates In them the desire for possession in their homes of the antique treasures found there. Acquisition lu this case Is the first step toward beauty.—The Antiquarian. Youngster Earnest in Quest of Information If small children will stray, they will stray, and they do stray, otherwise how would they pick up the extraordinary things they do pick up? Questions! “Please, nurse, why Is a fish?" To which nurse wisely answers: “Because it likes to be a fish. Master Silly.” After which the small child has to be kept away from the water for a long time, because It also wishes to be a fish. “Please, nurse.” (terribly polite child, this, and therefore very dangerous), “how do,birds be in eggs?” . To which nurse (terribly clever, as most nurses are) answers: “To keep them quiet when they are young.” A long sigh, and then: “I wish I was a star, ’cos then I could be out all night.” “Finish your breakfast and say your grace,” says nurse. “TheLordmakeustrulythankfulamen- , canlgoout?” And nurse, who has to clear up and look after baby, and Iron some very small things, says: “Yes.”—Dion Clayton Calthrop In Pears’ Annual, London. Lion Turned the Tables A lion's vengeance terminated the earthly career of a New Zealand big game hunter, In northern Rhodesia. The hunter with a party of natives came upon three lions, and wounded two. Falling to come up with them again that day, he started off the following morning, and found finally one of the wounded lions. At about fifteen yards’ distance he fired, but 1 either missed or did little damage, and the lion sprang at him. He dropped his rifle aud tried to climb a tree, but the Hon caught him by the thigh and severely mauled him. finally pulling' him down and throwing him over rfn antheap. A little later the Injured hunter waved his arm as a signal to the natives that he was alive; unfortunately, the lion saw this and attacked him again. One of the natives shot the Hon dead, but the hunter died shortly after In a hospital. j—, Phantom Ship Reference has been made on more than one occasion in column to “the phantom ship” of the Bay of Fundy. As long ago as fifty years, as I remember, It was believed that the light referred to was caused by phosphorus made by large shoals of fish that send off a phosphorus gas that burns In the air, and the ship seen by sailors Is the reflection of their own ship. The state of the air and the time of the year has much to do witl) It. You will see the same kind of lights on bogs In September on dark, foggy nights. It was the same kind of light that scared Tam o* Shanter, and if he‘ had not been mounted on the best mare In the world he might have been caught— Montreal Family Herald. Harmfulness of Fear Human fear Is unnatufhl, writes Edward Earle Purinton In Nature’s Path. Anything unnatural Is unwise and unsafe. Fear Is falsehood. We do not entertain It unless some one has lied to ( us, or we have lied to ourselves. The truest people are always the most fearless. In this fact is the primary lesson for those tormented by fear. No Har on earth equals the bogeyman created by fear. He makes us look for the worst In what may prove the best, and invites all sorts of Ills on ourselves by our sickly, cowardly, weak and foolish state of mind. What we fear we fasten on ourselves, by the law of psycho-mental attraction. "GatfzooAa,’* Indian Oath A. Hyatt Verfll, a collector for the Museum of American Indians, has discovered that “gadzooks." supposed an oath of the good old Elizabethan days In England, is used commonly by the Panama Indians. The reason is that the oath was carried to the tribe by the English expedition ' known as Bartholomew Sharp’s buccaneers. In 1600. This expedition left also a number of other English words that have been appropriated and corrupted by the Panama tribes which came into contact with the newcomers at the time. p u Line n on Future Husband r In certain parts of England girls have a test that Is supposed to indicate the identity of their future, husbands. The test consists of selecting an onion to represent each of the eligible men. They are then placed in a box. well fertilized, and forced to grow. The first to show signs of sprouting is considered to represent the luckj man. y

Building THE GERMAN REFERENDUM On Sunday last the people of Germany held a referendum on the question of confiscating all properties belonging to the Hohenzollerns and other ruling houses of Germany. The value of the property in question is estimated at 3,000,000,000 marks, or $750,000,000. It has been argued that the annual interest on this sum would be a very considerable contribution to’Germany's annual payments under the Dawes plan. The vote for the proposal was 14,889,703, that against it 542.311. This is less than a majority, so the referendum was of no account. An expression from about 19,000.000 was necessary give force to it. If that ntiniber of votes had been cast, and the Socialists and the Communists had mustered the strength recorded by them Sunday, the proposal would have gone through. The ' opponents of confiscation simply remained away from the polls. The faet that the Socialists and Communists mustered close to 15,000.000 votes, or about 4,000,-
