Lieutenant r. e. Peary is still conf
dent that lie can reach the north pole.
He knows just how he can get there,
and he told his plan to the American
Geographical society recently after that
scientific organization had awarded him
the Cullom geographical medal. All he
requires are sufficient funds and good
vessel. With small crew and Il largo
amount of concentrated food he would
proceed to the northwest coast of Green
land, take OH few Eskimo families and
II lot of dogs and then push as far north
aus possible. The stores would be landed

and the ship sent back after more. Then
IL year OF two would be consumed i'll
moving the supplies north from the
base. After all arrangements had been
made the daring explorer would take
one faithful Eskimo with him and make
IL dash for the pole, which he is sure he
could reach.
Lieutenant Peary is not yet 43 years
old and is i'll tho very prime of vigorous
manhood. 1t is entirely probable that
he will again revisit the arctics and add
to his many successes in that region the
final conquest of the pole itself.

When we consider the fact that this lu-
marian world is only one thirtv-sccond
part as large rs the earth we can easily
see why it deserves the title of the
planet of great mountains There is
a peculiar thing about these 30, 900
moon peaks. Each and every one of
them has Il ringlikc form, the opcn end
OF the conical point being of greater or
lesser diameter, according to the height
OF the mountain. In IL low grade telc-
