SLATER BACK

Deputy u. 8. Marshal J. T. Stet-

young Myers to Indiana polls

The officer had lively time

They had hardly started until they
were delayed by a wreck Ia this
state in which an engineer was
killed.
After leaving Spokane they en-
countered another wreck in which
fireman or engineer was killed.
This sort of thing continued al
along the line and when Slater
started back he struck wet wealth

who aim to reach the pole are
kicked about by giant seas, are
pounded by heavy storms, are
brushed by fleeing drifts of snow
and yet they calmly resign them
selves to become the foot balls of
hard fate because of a few
pleasures. An effort only partly
crowned with success gives such
citation and joy that all the suf-
ferings and discomforts are for
gotten.
Herein lies the reason for the
unfaltering law that he who has
once beheld the other world con-
ditions, and has felt the charm
of the white snowy silence of
the frigid zones, will ever long
to return.
Let us follow briefly the life of
a sledge traveller. He starts out
for a determined poleward dash,
taking with him no money to buy
necessities and comforts en- route,
no trunk or little Injuries; moth
ing besides his bed and his tent,
with fuel and provisions for three
or more. All of this is in
such shape that at any moment
he is prepared to carry his bag
gage on his back for miles. There
are no halfway inns, no houses,
no shelter, and no hazards by the
wayside. If he has forgotten or
lost anything, it cannot be re-
placed. He is far away from the
familiar world, far from the ac-
customed comforts of life, and
as completely isolated as If he was
on the surface of the moon. Day
after day be plods along over

has distinct advantage over the

he gets the warmth of the others,

heat of happiness.
In a very short time all are
sleeping the sleep of the just in
a lonely wilderness of ice, and
then what care they for the cruel
outside world? There is no noise
except the metallic cracking of
the snow under the bag, the snore
of the companions, and the steady
blow of the wind as it brushes
the bag.
1t is the universal opinion that
polar explorers suffer. mostly by
reason of the intense cold, and
that success or failure is due to
THE powers of enduring low tenn
peratures, but this is far from
the truth. True, there are snow
land ice everywhere in evidence.
Snow falls during the summer as
we'll as during the winter. For
this, however, we are prepared;
suitable garments so fit the body
that one does not really suffer
much more from the effects of
cold than does New Yorker in
winter, and we avoid the life-re-
lducing heat of the home summers.
Still do not mean to infer that
the cold is ever forgotten. The
conditions are such that the alb
Isence of heat is constantly brought

him who seeks them. For here

which makes the polar regions so
fascinating to nature-ioving man.
Everything about us is new. yet
old; every sight is simple, yet
clothed in mystery; every phe-
nomenon, like shy maiden. is
attractive, but difficult of access,
the haste and hustle of the living
world are far from the mental
horizon and the mind is ready to
examine new problems. 1t is for
tunate that one can, after a little
experience, here open the book of
nature and record the causes and
effects of nearly all phenomena,
for then the mysterious halo
which surrounds everything polar
disappears.

is always too tired to talk, fire.

often also too uncomfortable to

he continues to press onward.
One day he advances five miles,

a mile; and then a storm comes
which causes halt of five days.
As time goes on the stock of pro-

real trouble of the life of the
frigid zones until he has his face

Owing to the natural laws of
radiation, the extremities lose
their heat first. The careless
traveller constantly suffers from
cold hands and feet, and even a
careful adept loses his fingers or
toes with remarkable ease.
We plod on and ON over the
weary SHOWS until we find a camp

but now one has singing pain

sensation in large part of the
foot.

promptly the many thicknesses
of hose. The foot feels like some
thing foreign. One stocking aft
er another is cautiously taken
off, but still there is a woody
touch to the foot. When the
last stocking is stripped down the
foot is found white and glossy,
like porcelain. A more careful
examination reveals the fact that
one or two toes are missing, and
then the sock is shaken for the
missing bits before an effort is
made to restore the circulation of
the icy tissues. But an explorer
must learn to rise above such lit
tie discomforts. He who cannot
afford to lose strips of his skin
or parts of his hands and feet is
not worthy to be counted among
the braves who seek the pole.
