AI -1Vz A.. = f9 Amundsen's "!
 Triumph in the Arctic Seas
Dscoverer of Northwest Passase Plans to Continue His
 ,4 Sail Round Arctic Circle.

That one planteth and another reap eth has been strikingly illustrated in the. successful voyage which Capt. Roald Amundsen and his eight men have made through the Northwest pass age, for he has only followed the route known to exist by reason of the dis coveries of Sir John Franklin, in 1847. But notwithstanding the fact that Amundsen has not made an original discovery, his feat in taking the first vessel through the channel from Baf- fin bay to Behring straits is none the less remarkable, for it took boldness to conceive and courage to attempt, and good luck born of persistent watchful effort to accomplish what for the past 300 years the most strenuous efforts of arctic explorers has failed to do.
 Tn addition to his bringing his stanch little ship, the Gjoa-a sloop of 47 tons. 70 feet long, 20 foot beam and propelled by small petroleum engine safely. through, he has made impor- tant observations which it is believed will, when they are all figured out and the proper deductions made, settle the location of the magnetic pole. A mag netic pole is point where the freely suspended needle shows dip of 90 de- grees. An observation station was es- tblished by Capt. Amundsen at King Williams land, latitude, 68 degrees

THEIR FIRST MEETING.
Story Told of Miss Alice Roosevelt
 and Her Fiance.

Story Told of Miss Alice Roosevelt
 and Her Fiance.
 Mrs. Roosevelt. the presidents wife. told pretty little story about the first meeting of Representative Nicholas Longworth and Miss Alice Roosevelt to the cabinet women the other day, says a correspondent of the New York Press. 2 Mir. Longworth. she explained, was perfectly honest when he dated his meeting with his fiancee to the au- tumn of 1902, but that event really oc- cured fourteen years ago, when the president and his family were living in New York.
 One day Judge Longworth and his son, young Nicholas. then Harvard student. came to call. and Miss Alice. in short frocks and pigtail plaits, was practicing scales on the parlor piano. The young man pulled these aforesaid pigtails and jokingly wagered with the little miss that she could not play Yankee Doodle" not even if he whis- tied it for her. Miss Alice walked out of the room with much dignity, with out making an effort. and for years she spoke in terms of whitening contempt of that smart" Harvard man.
 The president, Mrs. Roosevelt and Mir. LongwOrth recall the circumstance readily. but Mr. Longworth ayers that. happily for him. every vestige Of its memory has vanished from Miss Alice's memory

and 30 minutes north and 90 degrees west. Capt. Amundsen declares his be- lief, based on the two years of ob- servation by him, that the north mag netic pole is within 90 minutes of that point. The observations have been taken day and night for a period of three wears. and. in the opinion of the explorer the actual position of the magnetic pole will be determined as soon as his observations can be fig ured out.
 In 1881 Capt. James Ross, from ob- servations made located the magnetic pole on Bothia Felix. Americas north ernmost peninsula, and it is evident that there has been little change from the point marked by him. Capt. Amund- sen found that in passing from the northern point of Peel sound to the western end of Simpsons strait the ships compass was useless.
 When Amundsen sailed from Chris .tiania June 17, 1903, he knew definite ly the course he wanted to take, be- cause of the records made by the Franklin expedition. and the story of that expedition is really the introduc- ton to the story of what Amundsen has accomplished.
 On May A. 1s47. Graham Gore. first lieutenant of the Erebus, with another officer and six men left their ships and started southward. They reached Point Victory, on King William Land, and went onward till they came to Cape Herschel. A little beyond they saw the coast of North America, the charts of which were in their hands. The Franklin expedition had been sent from England for no other purpose than to find the Northwest passage.
 The little party realized that the long-sought-for passage had been dis covered. and could actually be accom- plished. if they might only force their ships through the short ice barriers that intervened between them and the open water. They deposited a record of their discovery and then hurried back to their ships to impart the joy- full tidings to their comrades. They found the expedition plunged in the deepest grief. for. during their absence. Sir John Franklin had passed away. He. was shared the misery of sharing with his men the starvation that befel them all when they finally abandoned their ships and sought the mainland
 And it Is this summer channel along the coast that Amundsen has followed westward; and the Franklin party not only pointed out the short cut to the channel. but the fate of its ships gave a warning to Amundsen which he fully improved

1 the region where Amundsen made his magnetic surveys. This region is roughly inclosed with a circle of Ks. In this area Amundsen spent nearly two years. hls last magnetic work was done on King Williams island, not far from where Lieut.. Gore solved the question of the Northwest passage; and M was here that the Gjoa started on the journey.
 ,@Born in Christiania 35 years ago, a Norwegian of the Norwegians, Capt. ROald Amundsen, when little more than boy began his maritime career. Amundsen attended the public schools of Christiania, and the only diploma that he owns is from one of the high schools of the ancient capital of Nor way. He first came prominently be- fore the public as a member of the antarctic expedition of '$the Belgiea, which vessel in. 1S97-9 cruised in the south polar seas under M. Gerlach. RAtufnihg 4 from :, this expedition, Amundsen conceived the idea of an arctic exploration, the object of which would be the discovery of the North west passage and the location of the magnetic pole. &
 Amundsen told his friends Nansen. the explorer. and Profs. Schmidt and Neumayer, of Germany, his hopes, and laid before them in detail the plans

which, if followed, he felt convinced would solve two of the three greatest arctic problems. These friends, thor |oughly believing in Amundsen, real ized at once the merit of his argu- ments, and unhesitatingly indorse his scheme, and thus was inaugurated the expedition that was destined to live forever as among the most brilliant ex- petitions in history.
 But Capt. Amundsen is not satisfied, it seems, for he, is planning next sum- mer to continue his voyage around the arctic circle. To do this he must go through the Northeast passage, feat second only to the one which he has

already accomplished. When he reaches Norway he will have done something no other arctic explorer has ever att tempted. the circumnavigation of the globe within the arctic regions.
 Capt Amundsen was first mate of an antarctic expedition which seven years ago made important discoveries in the southern polar regions. and Dr. Fred eriek A. Cook. of Brooklyn. who was a member. of the same expedition. speaks in the highest terms of the Norwegian.
 When one is shipmate with a man in the arctic region for two long years" he said, -he begins to under stand him. I knew Amundsen well. As first mate of our expedition he proved himself not only a congenial companion. but man of wonderful re- sources. Amundsen had one hobby. That was to find the magneticspole. do not lay SO much stress on the pass age of the northwest straits as do the reported discovery of the magnetic pole.
