AN OUTING 4 IA ESKIMO.
Members Of an Arctic Club VIII Live
In Ice Huta,


In Ice Huts.
Some time this winter about 100
members Of the Arctic club In New
York will move far enough north to
nnd the kind of snow that can be cut
Into blocks, establish typical Eskimo
village, camp out week aud then
come back to town, says the New York
Times.
This expedition has been talked Of
before by the Arctic club. At the re-
cent annual meeting for the election of
officers the plan for winter village
was decided upon and a committee was
appointed to get everything in readl-
ness by Jan. %. the date Of the an
nual dinner and reunion of the club.
BY that date the committee will know
the names Of all those who will go into
the village. 1t is already announced
that not less than 100 members and
guests will build snow huts and sleep
In bags during the week selected.
Among those who have already an
nounced their intention Of participat-
Ing in the expedition are Professor Will
lam ii. Brewer OF Yale, president of
the club; Rudolph Kersting, secretary:
Ralph L. Shainwald, Jr., treasurer, and
Or. Frederick A. Cook. a member of the
executive committee.
Polarvillc will he established as soon
as sufficient snow falls within easy
travelling distance of New York to al
low the building OF snow huts. The
committee will seek out a place where
the snow is hard. SO that the huts will
not cave in on their occupants. The
snow camp will probably be establish
ed somewhere in the Catskills. An en-
thusiastic member of the club said that
snow house can he built In from two
to three hours by using blocks IS by
20 inches. IN the POiarville camp each
hut will be occupied by three men,
who must Duild 1t themselves. Each
man will have a sleeping sack of can
vas or Of fur and bag with n weeks
rations in it. Each snow hut family
will have cooking outfit, lanterns,
axes and the like.
There will be in camp Eskimo sledges
and dogs to give an arctic color to the
scene. and the Polarvillians will try to
live the simple Eskimo life as far as
possible. II has been decided to elect
chief. whose reign over Polarville
will be supreme. Several ladies have
nsked to enter the snow village. but
the question of allowing women to live
at Polarville hasn't been decided yet.

MOTOR SKATING THE LATEST
Novel French Invention shown at
Paris Autonobile Salon.

Novel French Invention shown At
Paris Automobile Salon.
Motor skating is the latest possibility
that is likely to attract the attention Of
the sport loving public in the near fr-
ture. says the New York Times. What
effect motor skates will have upon the
future OF motor cycles or even light
runabout automobiles it is problematic-
nj at this time to speculate. but the
fact that such speculations may assume
very practical shape is seen In the fact
that a pair OF motor skates is now ON
exhibition In the Paris automobile
salon. These motor skates have at
tracted much attention. but the In
ventor. NJ. ConstantinI. intends to de
vote more time in improvements before
he places them upon the market. He
claims. however, that the wonderful
tales of the seven league boots will
dwindle almost into significance when
motor skates become the popular rage.
The skates us ut present constructed
weigh about sixteen pounds and will
cost about 800. Each skate is pro-
PEELED by motor Of one and one-fourth
horsepower. sufficient to give the wear
er an opportunity to attain speed OF
from six to thirty miles an hour. They
are roller skates, the wheels being eight
inches in diameter and the residence of
the solid tires is supplemented by a spe-
ctal compensatfng suspension which
takes the place of springs. The gaso-
line and accumulators are carried in a
belt which is strapped around the
waist and flexible wires connect the
belt with the motors. The general ap-
pearance Of these ingenious skates is
said to resemble miniature motor cars,
They are about fifteen inches long
and broad In proportion. NJ. Con-
stantini is an inventor Of some note.
and he firmly believes there is great
future ahead for motor skating.
