WHO DISCOVERED THE CIRCUMpoLAR SEA

To the Editor Of The y. y. IffbH'r.
SIR The latest Eastern papers received here q
tribute the discovery Of an open sea eucirchng ga
North Pole, TO Lieut.. De Haven and his party, 10
Capt. Penny, and to DIR. Kane
There is a small book which must be- now lying On
the shelves of some American libraries, published in
our language about the year 1924, giving account
OF journey to that sea performed by Lieut.. Wrange
of the Russian Navy
He proceeded over the ice on sledges from Cape
Sholatsko in Siberia, in latitude about 20 degrees
north and 20 degrees of longitude, west OF Behring's
Straits due north coo miles to open water Lieutenant
now Admiral Wrango took frequent soundings during
the Tip and found the water shallow with mud bot
| tom. The climate became more moderate a. be- made
nOrthng. According o his estimate Of hls position al
the margin Of the open polar ocean, be must have been
near the parallel of 81 degrees north which Dr.
! Kane was when he saw the same sea, almost tho
| opposite side Of the Pole.
The existence of = clear sea in midwinter Va.
| demonstrated a. physical fact by this adventurous
| Russian, acting under orders from his Government
more than 80 years SINCE and the fact made pube 10
bis printed journal translated and published in the
English language. This shows that such journeys arr
| practicable wherever the ice is fixed. Lieut. Wrang
concealed provisions in the ice he advanced, wb
LIE cut out for supplies on his return. The party sef
| in lodges warmed by spirit lamp which also cookes
| their meals. Their suferDgs were not as great ~
these of the land parties thst have gone out from s
British exploring ships.
do not wish TO detrsct from the merits Of receD.
theorists and discoveries in the Arctic field Both the
American and English explorers have made exerhon.
and have endured haidships that seem 10 De beyoai
| the ability OF men TO sustain.
The credit of having the first view Of the North POls,
Ocean beyond the CONCEALED belt that has stopped on
nayigatos, belongs, however, TO an energetic officer
Of another nation, whose name have never sea
| mentioned. g. w.

IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS.
70 he Editor Of TAe N. y. TyiJrne.

1 To ne Editor Of Ire " D. ITtthnc
SIR: The common roads of the United States are
inferior 10 those Of any other civilized country. II IS
great disgrace that it should be am pleased 10
find by your paper that the subject of improving tben
| is receiving some attention A few words c0nDecnf
with the engineering part of the subject will not be OFT
Of place. DR.. Smith isqute correct when he obsery's
| that " roadmakiDg is a science"
IL bad location be made al frrt matter how
well the surface Of the road be treated subsequently,
the inherent radical defects Of this incorrect laying
cut will remain forever, in the shape Of unnecesssI
iises and falls.
Tie natural features Of the country shoud alone
| regulate the line Of road. Rocollcct, flrmcs and
teamsers, that an Inclined plane rising only one
foot in twenty Onr, which j. very gentle hill borse
can only pull half the load that he can level,
ard that inclined plane Of IN 10 be can only
| pull one fourth. Just imagine one horse on leyd,
doing as much "a four can on bills to be met with "a
every unduaing country. If you cannot see bow IN
tnatey that affects your purses there IL use IN cay
ing more on the subject.
Now, by the employment OF q very moderate degree
Of skl, fair lines Of road may BE- had through moa
d-trcs. In place of the fearful hills mot adnira
bic Inc could be obtained Indeed giariUg are tb,
faults in choice of ground that can only suppose they

in proving the location VI the existing roads IS small

in IT, the are much 0Yerse 10 changing lines
