FEAR THAT PEARY
HAS BEEN LOST.
Daring Arctic Explorer
Thought to Have Per-
iShed in Frozen North
Failure to Get Tidings
of Him Causes Anx-
iety Among Friends

CHICAGO. July IA dispatch to the
Record-Herald from Washington SAYS:
That Captain Robert E. Peary has
sacrificed his life in the effort to dis
cover the north pole is the fear of
naval men here, who are worried by the
failure to get any tidings of the ship
Roosevelt, which sailed for the Arctic
regions July 16, 1905.
Advices from the American Geo
graphical Society add to their fears.
Reports are that the weather in the
Far North this spring and early sum-
mer was more than usually rigorous;
that severe storms have been frequent,
and that the ice is heavy. Consequent
ly, IL is feared that Peary's ship may
have been ground to pieces by the
drifting ice
The explorers plans, when he left
last summer, were to proceed to the
farthest possible point of land north of
Cape Sabine, and within 500 miles of
the pole There he was to establish a
winter base and make all preparations
for dash across the ice this summer
as soon as weather conditions would
permit. This he expected would not
occupy more than six weeks, and, ac-
cording TO his calculations, he would
reach home not later than October of
this year.
Esqufmaux and dogs, it is supposed,
were taken aboard the Roosevelt last
summer. for 1t is on the hardy inhab-
itants of the polar regions that Peary
however, that a whaling vessel might
bring some tidings Of the Roosevelt,
and the failure of any news of the ex-
pediuon TO reach the outside world for
so many months is arousing the keen
est anxiety.

RIFLEMEN Of ARMY
ARE IMPROVING,
Progress Made by Them
Is Highly Pleasing to
President Roosevelt
Increase of Pay Allowed
by Congress to Good
Shots Is Encouraging

WASHINGTON, July I'm a letter to
Acting Secretary Oliver President
Roosevelt has expressed his Rratifica-
uon at the remarkable progress that is
ocing made by the enlisted men OF the
army IN craftsmanship Before the
spanish war the American private SOL
der was admittedly the finest shot in
the world. The addition of the large
number Of volunteers had the effect OF
greatly reducing the average of the
rlhemen- But since the reorga nization
OF the army following the war every
effort has been made to stimulate in
terest in craftsmanship, and the re-
suit is that today the average is prob
ably as high. II not higher. than it was
al the beginning of the war
The figures laid before the President
that elected his approval showed that
in 1903 there were in the whole army
5S expert riflemen. 349 sharpshooters
and 500 marksmen. as the various
grades are known technically. In the
following year these figures had in
creased to 264 expert ri1emen, 1893
sharpshooters and 24s4 marksmen. Now
II is shown that last year the record
stood 5s6 expert riiemen, 1871 sharp
shooters and 1896 marksmen.
General Oliver attributes the i'm
provement in large part TO the fact that
Congress has allowed an increase of pay
of SO per month in the case of expert
Tihemen, 81 for sharpshooters and 81
for rnarksmen.

Voice Photographs Astonish Science

LONDON. July Mrs. Watts
Hughes made the sensation of the an
nuaI soiree of the Royal Society with
her so-called voice photographs, which
were exhibited for the first time. They
are produced by spreading moistened
water-color on paper attached TO an
indiarubber disk stretches over a cup
shaped vessel. Sound vibrations are
communicated to the under side OF the
indiarubber through a tube inside of
the cup and bring out all kinds of
exquisite forms when the water-color
is agitated by singing. Flowers
chiefly daisies of perfect shape; pan
sizes, shells and trees with luxuriant
foliage are among the wonders
wrought by this contrivance. Certain
notes unfailingly bring forth certain
forms The phenomenon is now being
scientifically investigated.
