MEANS A BIG SAVING.
Cement Will Be Crushed and Ground
on the ISthmus.

Experiments have been conducted on the
Isthmus of Panama which promise to re-
duce by one-third the estimated cost of
cement needed to construct the locks and
dams for the isthmian canal The an
nouncement is made that the department
Of locks and dams has found that it will
be entirely practicable to procure cement
in clinker form, transport it to the 18TH
mus and crush it and grind it there. The
cooperage cost would thus be avoided.
This cost is about one-third that of the
cement proper.
Cement is one of the biggest items in
the cost of the canal. No estimate claim
ed to be accurate has been made of the
quantity of cement that will be needed
but the amount is SO great that several
concerns have figured on erecting plants
in Alabama and other states having lime
stone deposits and making the cement as
near as possible to the isthmus in order
to save freight charges.

capt. hOald AmuudSen,
He may use bears instead of dogs in trying to
reach the pole
OF future success. arrived on the Oscar
II yesterday. In the Gjoa he located the
true magnetic pole. With the bears he
will discover the geographical north pole.
There will be four bears in all, on each
to sled.
Cubs Already in Training.
Hagenbeck Of Hamburg and Bostock of
Coney Island will train and break the
bears before Capt. Amundsen drives
them to sledges. Two polar cubs are in
training near Hamburg. They are be-
ing petted, doctored. brought up by hand
taught to associate with humans and
broken to harness and drawing burdens.
Capt. Amundsen believes the scheme
practical. In the first place, he says,
polar bears like cold weather, glaciers
and field ice. An arctic snowstorm or
blizzard Is to them only a summer picnic,
an ice fssure only an excuse for a jump
or a swim, and an iceberg is their crown
ing delight.
1.-The alternating habits of the polar
bear" said the discoverer, render 1t
peculiarly fitted for arctic travel. They
do not have to rest at such short inter-
walls as dogs, but can endure a whole
winter of the keenest cold and discom-
fort with real pleasure. The bears will be
fed on seal flesh.
'Each bear is ten times as strong as
horse and can haul as much a hun
dred dogs When tanned they are tracta-
BILE. reliable and affectionate."
If he finds the regions of the north
pole inhabited the captain may give, with
Hagenbecks and Bostock's consent, bear
matinees and realize pretty penny in
the arctic circulating medium.
Capt. Amundsen will make no fiy-by-
night incursion into the domains of Jack
Frost He will go north sto stay six
years. If necessary.
II want to secure the Fran, Nansens

slider the manner in which Nansen fitted

her for six years, and in five years. by
remaining on the ground. or ice, we shall
have gained until an opportunity comes
to advance again, 1 believe l can locate
the geographical pole"
Will Try the Boring Sea Route.
Another important feature of Capt
Amundsen's plans is the route he in
tends to follow. 1t is that of the I'M
ing sea. He considers this the only true
way to reach the north pole.
My experience in the northwest pas
sage has taught me much" said the
captain. Il found Esquimaux much fur
