Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is
at present the scene Of much activity
and many Danish prospectors are go

discovery Of gold has converted the
city into huge mining camp and it
seems now that the entire city stands

became an exciting procedure. for
a Danish-American Klondike miner
was sure he was seeing good gold in
the dirt brought to the surface. A
stock company was at once formed by
EngIishmen, but the citizens of Reyk-
javik will undertake to regulate their
mining business themselves.

The Roosevelt Sails North.

Commander Robert E. Peary, the vet
eran arctic explorer, has started from
New York on board the new explor-
ing ship Roosevelt with the determina-
ton to realize his life aspiration Of
planting the American flag at the north
pole of the earth. The expedition Is
under the auspices of the Peary Arctic
club, Of which Morris X. Jesup IS
president Peary brought his new ship
from Portland to New York to fit out,
and then started for Cape Breton to
coal The crew are hardy Newfound-
landers. The Roosevelt will go from
Melville bay to the Whale sound and
Cape Sabine, where twenty of the
most daring Eskimos, with dogs,
sledges ana wives, will be taken
aboard Thence the ship is expected,
to pillow her way through the Kennedy
and Robson channels to Grant Land,
where about Sept. 1, the beginning Of
the arctic winter, the explorers will go
into winter quarters, about 42O miles
from the north pole. From there,
about Feb. 1, will begin the dash north /
Peary and two other white men, be-
sides the Eskimos.
Mr.. Peary says the expedition has
three strong points in it's favor. First, !
the most powerful ship ever built; sec
ond, his experience of seventeen years
in the arctics; third, his knowledge
of the Eskimos and how to handle
them. He is sure that he will find no
open sea. He admits that the chief
reason for going there is sentimental
md that if we win the race it will be a
triumph over the greatest nations.
Cancer Still Mystery.
During the third annual meeting Of
the cancer research committee at Lon
don, July 5, Sir William Church, pres
ident of the Royal College Of Physi-
clans, said that the investigation of the
past year, only confirmed the conclu-
sions announced In 1904-namely, that
cancer is not associated with peculiari-
ties Of diet, climate or mode Of living.
The results pointed to the necessity Of
studying more closely the process Of
cell multiplication in the hope Of find
ing clew to the mystery Of this dis
ease. The capacity Of perpetual multi
plication of cells separated the cancer
from all other known infective dis!
eases. There was no evidence yet OBJ:
tanned that radium emanations had
any selecting or special action on tu-
NOR tissues, while the amount Of radio
active solutions necessary to produce
any action of the tissues far exceeded
the quantity that can be safely intro
duced into the body.
New alive Forever" Theory.
Professor Albert P. Matthews of the
University Of Chicago, writing in the
July World Today, argues that by a

and soul will be effected. He says
people are dying for years before they
actually breathe their last, owing to
imperfect nutrition and assimilation.

"sQUARE (MR.) ROOT"
The Story Of a College Nickname Of the
New Secretary of State.

New secretary OF State.
In college Elihu Root was a consistent
worker. He carried off the first prize in
mathematics. On his record in scholar
ship he was appointed valedictorian of
his class-and thereby hangs a tale.
During his Junior year occurred what
was called the "German rebellion. -
Because Of dislike Of and dissatisfac-
tion with the instructor in German, his
class withdrew from the college in a
body-every man save Root. The class
was out about two months, but during
tations. The explanation vouchsafed
is that, because of his fathers official
connection with the college as a mem
Der of the faculty, Root could not join
in the secession. It was an unfortu-
nate situation, for which he may have
been entirely blameless. At all events,
he never lost the nickname which had
been given him, the son of ,HSCube',
was '|square Root, es % and of 'tHle this signi,
ficant diminutive his fellow students
considered him worthy, despite his lack
Of popularity. After all, the only i'm
portance attaching to the secession is
that, when tempted-and sorely tempted
he must have been-he would not desert
his work: This trait has followed him
thruout his career, as will be shown
oHu IL coHS!ueldO1e ueSfee mas con
tributed to his success.
Following his graduation in 1864, Mr.
Root became the head Of the co-educa
tional academy of Rome, N. Y, il
which he taught the classics and mathe
matics. He was popular with his stu
dents, who not only respected and ad
mlred the young Hamilton graduate
but formed warm affection for hin
which has lasted thru the years. Some
