recently moved from South Dakota, to
a farm which they had bought near
Foley, Benton county, was lost in a
swamp near the farm last Sunday
afternoon, and could not be found until

Mr. and Mrs. McSve and children

McSve told the children to follow their
father SO as to get home before the
heavy rain, as being lame she could
not walk very fast. She finally lost
her bearings and wandered into a
swamp which is about one mile wide
and three long. Although Mr.. McSve
and neighbors searched for her all
night, no trace of her could be found.
In the morning the services of the
man, who sold them the farm, were
solicited, who, after thorough
search, found her in the swamp in a
stupitied condition. She was taken

4NTARCTTC EXPLORATION.

Commander Peary announces that when he
next returns from the North he will devote such
time as he can spare from his duties TO the
organization OF an Antarctic expedition. he
has had the matter in mind since 1904. but not
having carried through the project TO which
his best efforts have been devoted for seventeen
years. he naturally gives that the preference
now The government has been exceptionally
indulgent TO him in granting leaves OF alb
sence though greatly needing his services. and
will undoubtedly welcome his return TO the
United States. The Navy Department will also
find satisfaction in the statement that Com
ma ander Peary purposes TO act, not as the leader,
but q s an adviser TO the enterprise No imme-
diate work is to be done at present of course,
but by giving notice Of his intentions in let
ter to the president Of the recent international
Polar Congress in Brussels the American eX-
plorer files a mortgage on the idea He may
thus have thwarted the ambition of NJ. Arctow-
ski. VINO has long been trying to raise money
enough in Belgium to equip an Antarctic expe-
diton of his own.
The region surrounding the North Pole differs
radically from that near the South Pole. In one
case the environment is supplied by water ana
in the other by land. Commander Peary has
conducted the most critical stage of his work
with dogs and sIedges and used them also i'll
tinent Mr. Shachleton, who sailed from Eng
land last year, has planned to employ ice auto
mobiles and Siberian ponies. NJ. Charcot, now
on his way to the Southern Hemisphere, has
also provided himself with ice automobiles.
The superiority of the means of transpor-
tation has not yet been demonstrated, but when
Mr.. Shackleton and NJ. CharcOt return, their
experience may prove more helpful than Com
mander Peary's. Both NJ. Arctowski and DIR.
Cook are also believers in the ice automobile.
Commander pearys purpose has been pri-
marily TO find the pole, and incidentally TO map
coast lines never before visited. Like Sver
drup and Eriehsen he has made valuable addi-
tons to the previously existing store Of geo.
graphical knowledge. but other sciences re-
ceiyed little attention from him. Several sum
mer voyages to Greenland within the last few
years however. have enabled geologists and
botaDists TO obtain much desired information,
and Amundsen's attempt TO determine anew
the position OF the north magnetic pole met
another need of long standing. 1t is probable
too, that when the work done by the Danish
explorer. whose death was reported few
weeks ago. is fully known it will prove TO have
been highly fruitful. Erichsen aimed to study
Greenland as il had not been studied before
and no less than fourteen members Of his
party were specialists in science.
The expeditions to the Antarctic regions
which have been most carefully planned, like
those sent out by England and Germany IN
1901. were much more comprehensive In scope
than anything which Commander Peary has
ever undertaken Their hackers felt that they
New-York tribune., 1908-08-27

wanted to get the largest possible return for
their investment, They might have been con-
tent with special feat OF daring, such as
dash to the pole, but it was believed that
the opportunity should not be lost for advanc-
ing knowledge in dozen different ways. Hith-
erto Comma nder Peary's researches have had
the advantage Of concentration in aim, but
have betrayed little appreciation of the de-
mands of other sciences than geography. Per
haps he is not the best man to lay out the pro-
granme for exploration of Antarctica which
would yield the largest results.
Moreover, in the past, much has been accom-
plished in the Southern Hemisphere through
cooperation When Captain Scott and DR..
Drygalski led their respective parties to the
Antarctic continent q careful division OF labor
had been prearranged. One section Of the ter
ritory was reserved for the English expedition
and another for the German, and each kept
distinctly In view the fact that Scottish and
Swedish expeditions had also been projected,
and would probably start on their respective
missions (as was the case) few months later
If an American expedition should ever be or
ganized, regard should be had not only to the
subjects remaining for Investigation, but also
to other undertakings which may have had an
earlier or a simultaneous Initiative.

RDENTGER AND OTHERS.

Between what has been regarded as the most
notable achievement of the physicist, Henri
Becouerel. and that of R0ntgen there Is a re-
markable parallel The German discovered that
from Il Crookes tube emanated a mysterious
something which would penetrate Opaque sub
stances and affect Photographic plate as light
does. The Frenchman found that uranium gave
off a radiation practically y identical in its prop
critics though feebier. 1t has not been feasible
TO utilize Becquerel rays for the same purposes
as X-rays, merely because they are not strong
enough, but that they are emitted from metal
is phenomenon not less wonderful than that
the same sort of radiation proceeds from an
electrically excited vacuum tube. In the judg-
ment of the experts who award the Nobel
prizes Rontgen and Becquerel were equally de-
serving of honor.
The Indirect effects Of the two mems work,
however were far from similar. Great was
nouncement, it led to fresh revelation. In
deed, Rontgen's discovery purely accidental
one-was merely an extension Of the line OF
research previously pursued by Sir William
Crookes On the other hand, the Investigations
which BecquereIs activities inspired bore
amazing fruit. Following up the clew ie fur
nished NJ and Nine Curie were able TO sela-
rate from uranium two three elements
one of which possessed the power of giving off
other rays for which no precedent was known
Radium also seemed to defy the old law Of
the conservation OF force by generating heat

Ec0NonY At PANAnA-

Attention recently called in these col
nmns 10 the rapid progress which is being made
In the construction Of the Panama Canal. We
showed that our American engineers had in
four years eycayated more than 50 per cent as
much as the French had in all their years of
labor: that the Americans had in one year ex-
cavated nearly 90 per cent as much as the
French had in nearly twenty years; that the
rate Of American achievement was constantly
increasing; that at the end of May last the
work Of digging the canal was more than half
done. and that there was d prospect that the
excavation would be completed within four
years.
1t might not Unreas0nabv be assumed that
this enormous acceleration of work was being
effected by means OF comparable increase Of
expenditure. which might be proper and COM
mendable. IT. for example, the rate of ex-
cavation could he doubled 10y doubling the ..x-
penditure that would be good policy, for the
final cost OF the work would not be increased,
while should have the use Of the canal SO
much the sooner.
But our engineers are doing much better than
that Thus in August, 1867, they excavated
,s27 cubic yards, and in June, 1905, 3,06o,-
307 cubic yards That was increase Of more
than 149 ner cent. But the cost did not in
crease in ike ratio. On the contrary it in
creased from .196,s03 TO only S1,755,771 or
less than Al per cent. The cost of construction
and engineering in August, 1907, was "a cents
for each cubic yard excavated, and in August
I9eS with the rate Of excavation considerably
more than doubled. II was only % cents for
each cubic yard.
With the work Of excavation now more than
half donc. il viii be CT interest to recapitulate
the itelnized cost CT the great enterprise thus
Ear, or. rather. down to June 30 last, when the
digging was more than half done Since our
entry upon The undertaking in the spring of
1904 the largest item of expense has naturally
been the plant account, for buildings, machin-
cry, etc. and that aggregated down TO June 30

the item OF construction and engineering which
was $50. oi.c35 "a The work Of sanitation in
the canal zone and the two adjacent perhaps
included cities was SG,325,9lO Il. Municipal im-
proyements in the same area cost S5,770750 81.
