Norwegian Explorer Reported to Have
Found North MaanetIe pole.

News has reached San Francisco that
the Arctic expedition under Capt. Roald
Amundsen, which sailed from Christian
ia. Norway, June II, 1908, has made
startling discoveries.
According to the report which has
come. Amundsen has found the north
magnetic pole, whose discovery is origin
ally credited to Ross in 1881. although
many scientists doubt that Ross really
located this elusive guide to the compass
es Of the world.
The north magnetic pole has been
generally assumed by geographers as
being on Boothia, the most northerly
peninsula of the American continent.
and close to King William Land. 1t is
supposed to be a shifting sphere Of in
fluence, though its variations are not
great. II is not to be confused with the
terrestrial North Pole the goal Of eN-
plorers, which is situated some 1900
miles to the true north OF the magnetic
pole.
He has also found the monument
erected oy Sir John Franklin when the
explorer and 13S of his men were perish
ing in the ice in 1S47. In addition to
these discoveries, the expedition has gone
from Greenland to point south Of King
William Land, and seems sure of COM
plotting northwest passage, which nav
igators have been unsuccessfully trying
tn do for 400 years.
Explorer Amundsen has already pro-
crossed so far that he seems practically
to have mastered the barriers and sailed
through all the traps. The main part
OF his journey is over. He has sent to
San Francisco for supplies to be delivered
by the Pacific whalers at appointed
places which are frequently reached by
the vessels going out from California.

Another Vermonter Who Has Made His
Mark

Charles Whiting Baker of New York
city, former Nermonter, is the designer
of the car and roadway of new type
of transportation system, which is among
the exhibits at the American Railway
Appliance exhibition in Washington. d.
c. The system is described as a hybrid
between a railway and common road
1t is intended to carry light traffic in
places where the cost of a regular rail-
way system would make the latter i'm
practicable. The railway has a single
rail. over this rail the car is balanced
and is kept from tipping by wheels at the
sides like ordinary wagon wheels which
roll on paths of gravel or broken stone
