USE FOR THE NORTH POLE.

Bureau Station There.

Professor Edward c. Pickering, di-
rector of the Harvard college observa-
tory at Cambridge, Mass, says that
science does not care whether Peary

self and suggests usiug the north pole
as a United States weather bureau.
Professor Pickering says:
whether both Commander Peary
and Or. Cook have actually stood on
the spot that represents the northern
end of the earth's axis is of no real
Importance to science. With the in
struments they carried the best that
could be expected is that they have
been Approximately at the north pole
or, say. mile or so from the spot.
THE delicate observations and cal
culations necessary to determine the
exact position of the pole can never be
made until a meteorological station OF
some sort is established near the pole
and / think the United States govern
ment could best take full advantage OF
the splendid work Of these two ex
plorers by sending up into the north
floating meteorological station aboar(
a ship equipped like Nansen's Fran
that could enter the arctic ice pack an(
in three years drift across the region
while a body of scientists on boart
made the observations and collected
data.
More than this, think that nov
| that the public interest is aroused
would be we'll to remember that tn
| United States government could keel
| floating station of the weather bu
reau always in the polar region b.
sending two or three ships out at In
tervals of a year or so in order that a
one ship was drifting away from tn

Hartman and allied Interests to per-
NIT independent development and op-
Grafton.
One of the reasons why Mr.. Harri-
man wanted and his associates now
want the active cooperation of Mr..
Morgan is that he is in high favor In
Washington. Just at present Morgan is
most active IN digging into the savings
of the French to get financial support
for his various enterprises. To have
his assistance or even domination at
this critical time would be of immense
aid to the men who are trying to carry
to success the vast plans of the dead
manager Hartman knew better than
any that there were differences of
opinion i'm his financial camp. While
he was alive he held the opposition In
subjection. Some one like Morgan is
needed now to keep them in line.
Hot Fight Begun.
The inside opposition to Hartman is
being encouraged by the Independent
railway owners and developers. They
contend IldI IL Is DelleE IOI tue idA
ways to throw down the bars and per.
NIT the big systems to fight their OWL
battles.
These men have millions and millions
of their own and thousands OF miles OF
railroads. they do not relish the ides
of becoming hired men Of the big rail
way owners who are to make then
subjects ot the one big system. These
men do not want to ask some grea
central railroad authority every tim
they want to build a mile of railroad
and get down on their knees and BET

IN VERRAzzANO'S MEMORY.

Have Seen Hudson River First.

Will Erect Statue TO ttalan Said 10
Have Seen Hudson River First.
Ground was recently broken in Bat
terry park. New York, for the founda-
ton for a monument to Giovanni da
Verrazzano, the Italian explorer who
is credited by Italians the world over
with having discovered the Hudson
river nearly a century before Henry
Hudson.
Preceded by band, a committee OF
Italians paraded down Broadway and
marched to the place selected for the
statue. Here they were met by Chev-
alier Charles Barsotti, president OF the
committee, and Ettore Ximenes, who
designed the bust After the band had
played the Italian national hymn Chev-
alier Barsotti said in part:
1t affords me pleasure to break the
ground for a monument to the memory
of Giovanni da VerraZzano. who was the
real discoverer of the Hudson river. The
ground on which this monument is to be
erected is doubtless the same over which
Verrazzano trod in 1524.
After the discovery by Columbus OF
America in 1892 the Cabots surveyed the
coast of the new world. but in 1924 Yer
razzano came to New York and saw the
Hudson river. The New York Geograph-
ical society has q copper globe OF the
earth made in 1547, which shows the Hud-
son river and the lands adjacent labeled
"Verrazzano or New Gallia." This globe
was discovered in an old Spanish con-
vent, and its authenticity is undoubted
Data now in the possession of the New
York Geographical society prove conclu
sively that Verrazzano discovered the
Hudson river eighty-four years before the
arrival of the man whose name the rive
now bears.
The statue is now in the mold at thu

point, N. Y. 1t is said to be fine rep

MASCOT FOR LATHAM.
Daring MonopIanst Given Live Pigeon
by Fair Lover of Aeronautics.

That Latham has twice failed to
cross the English channel is not due to
the neglect of the fair lovers of aero
nautics. They have been on hand at
both of the important flights and have
given him every encouragement. The
aviator has been waiting for the op.
portunity to emulate the feat of Be
riot, and the tedium is relieved by the
lively interest of the women who flock
from Calais and the other nearby
towns. AS a mascot one of the young
women the other day presented to the
daring monoplanist live pigeon.
She did not share the popular super
stition that a pigeon is an unlucky
bird. She took the view that with the
guidance of one of these fliers that
cross the channel repeatedly Latham
may be spurred to success. Latham, q
true gallant. promised that the pigeon
would from a silken ribbon show him
the aerial road to Dover whec he next
attempts to cross the international gap

There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the En.
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound .or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-

unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube is restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
