Mr.. FIALA'S POLAR PLANS.

The recent return of Mr. Fiala to the United
States has enabled Americans to gain a bet
ter comprehension of his work In Franz Josef
Land than has been possible hitherto His ex-
ploration was limited to the archipelago in which
he resided for nearly two years. and was only
incidental to the main object Of the Ziegler ex-
petition, an object which, it is needless to re-
mark not attained. Nevertheless it would
be mistake to underrate the addition of sew
eral important details to the map of the region
in which he stayed Whether not Franz Josef
Land is ever opened up to settlement, 1t is as
desirable to chart its coasts and channels as 1t is
TO survey those Of Ellesmere Land or those OF
any other uninha bitable region
What Mr.. Fiala has to say about reaching the
Pole will not be read with less curiosity because
he did not get there himself. He says several
sensible things on the subject. He corroborates
the opinion OF Commander Peary and Evelyn
Baldwin that the training of men and dogs Ia
one Of the great essentials to work in the Arctic
and MAJ require years. II there were no dan
ger that the statement would be taken amss

ruthless. sordid grab, that. for the sake of put
ting nckels into the till. would ruin of the
noblest highways in the world and destroy one
of the chief charms of some of New-York's
loveliest suburbs. No grimmer irony be i'm
agned than the promotion of such scheme by
a so-called Improvement Society" The organi
zaton should promptly rename itself the "Vil-
lagc Vandals,' suburban Spectators or ''Dobbs

The Albany Post Road. which this precious
scheme aims to give over to the "Huckeberry
some similar trolley concern. is historic
highway of peculiar charm From YOnkers to
Ossining it is practically parkway. excelenty
paved. richly shaded with magnificent trees so
that it looks in places like an aisle in a
primeval forest and bordered much Of the way
with parklike estates Its one defect, practi-
cally irremediable Is its narrowness However
it is sufficiently wide for ordinary driving pur
poses, though if trolley road were built along
1t driving would be impossible excepting upon
the tracks Nor would that be the only evil
The erection of the poles and wires would in
vove the mutilaton and often the destruction
of the trees which now shade the road. No
uOuDt the trolley promoters VIII deny this. and
will say that all injury TO the trees would be
scrupulously avoided. For answer we have only
to point to the abominable slaughter of trees
committed by the trolley folk some of the
streets Of IOnkers, as well as on almost every
shaded road they have been permitted to in
wade.
We not unmindfu OF the force of the
argument that there is need of trolley connec-
ton between the Hudson River towns 1t is
quite true that such need exists 1t is an
urgent need. and should be supplied at the
earliest possible date But this should be
done in some other way than by destroying
the very thing which is one of the most valIl-
able assets of those towns We needed elevated
railroads i'll New-1ork thirty years ago but
the supplying of that need did not necessitate
the building of such a structure along 5th-ave
True. there is now no alternative road travers-
ing those towns. But there ought to be one
There is no doubt that there will soon be one
There must be one. 1t is simply impossible that
they should for all time get along with only
single narrow street connecting them. If they
are not going to grow big enough and develop
enterprise enough to get such n street then they
do not deserve to have trolley line
Our argument is, and are convinced it is
the view of the most thoughtful members of
Yonkers to Ossining should be built along some
new street, planned for the purpose and should
not be built on road which was never meant
for such use and which by such use would he
irretrievably ruined.

requisite to the efficiency of leader. Mr.. Bald
wins successor in the command of the Ziegler
enterprise recognizes the wisdom Of taking sew
eral years for formidable ar undertaking as
seeking the Pole and advises storing supplies
at number of available points on the route
These suggestions, like the recommendation that
wireless telegraphy be adopted lack originality;
but testimony from an independent source re-
garding enterprises of an unusual kind is not
without value
Two departures from precedent are limited at
by Mr.. Fiala as possible contributions to future
success. 1t has occurred to him that perhaps 1t
might be feasible to station several ships at in
tervals between land base and the Pole, thus
cutting up into short stages the sledge trip
over the ice. 1t is doubtful If such programme
could be carried into execution The density of
the ice pack would make it difficult to force the
vessels into the prescribed positions: and the
inequality of the drift would embarrass the task
of keeping them In straight line after they
were once there The other new proposition is
to construct steel ship and intrust ii to the
control OF the ocean currents. Regarding this
scheme. ii may he said that in order to achieve
more. than Nansen did by drifting it would be
wise to secure Il more experienced and gifted
leader than the famous Norwegian Further
more. it may be noted that NanSens ship, the
Fran. was built of wood, and, although she
afterward spent three years more in the Arctic
regions Ito the westward of Greenland she is
still in an excellent state Of preservation. What
better material could he found than that OF
which she was constructed? Peary has con-
viction that steel is distinctly inferior to wood
The most novel ideas advanced by Mr.. Fiala
seem to be the least promising
