The wireless sets. which are now in
transit to salt Lake, are the latest pat

United States signal corps at Washing

a most compact form, and one complete
set can be carried on pack mule The
set weighs about 225 pounds. The aerial
mast, hand generator and storage bat
teries arc carried on r pack mule md
make up load of about 200 pounds.
The mast is sixty feet in height, and can
be raised by six men. At tests made at
Fort LeaVenWoTth the mast was raised
and the set put in operation within five
minutes after the command to establish
a station had been given.
The wireless sets. which are being fur
nished, are the development Of many
tests made By the army signal school
at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. and are
the most satisfactory and complete
manufactured today. The receiving sets
are equipped with the latest design de-
tectOrs. which receive the wave cur
rents picked up by the masts. The sets
are an improvement over many wireless
outfits inasmuCh as they do not employ
the old cOherer. but are connected with
a tuning coil which can be adjusted to
pick up waves sent from a certain dis

The national guard Of Utah is now
using the SINE arms, uniforms and
other equipment that are IN use in the
regular army
During the last four months a steady
stream Of new ordnance and quarter
master supplies have been arriving at
the state armory, and so far there has
been nearly 100000 worth of new equip
ment supplied 10 replace the old.
over year ago the Utah guard was
equipped with the latest model OF the
army Springfield rife and last month
the First battery Of field artillery began
receiving their new field rifles, which
are OF the latest pattern and design
The new guns received by the battery
are the same pattern as are in use today
by the regular artillery corps Of the
army. They are known as the three

have been ordered for the rifle team to
be used during the target practice.
These rifles are thoroughly tested before
leaving the arsenal, and are absolutely

During the summer months il is ex-

Mr.. Peary reached land after going Al,
miles in sixteen days. with an average OF
25.8 miles day
DR.. Cook failed to reach his caches be-
ing carried away by westerly ice drift. He
covered the distance between the eighty
fourth parallel and Jones sound. about 40
miles. in something like forty-fve days, at
an average of about ten and one-half miles
a day.
On the return Mr.. Peary seemed to
bear potent charm and was never held up
by open water for more than two hours at
a time. He was able to hold trail all the
way back to the big lead. either that made
on the journey north. or Capt Bartlett's
made on his return trip.
Dr. Cooks failure to reach his caches
necessitated delay of year in the return to
civilization. while Mr.. Peary was able to
reach home in the same year as that in
which he reached the pole.

AS we'll as the mileages and positions
the diaries include the explorers descrip-
tons of the ice, their scientific and weather
observations and the most important Incl
dents and happenings day by day.
All miles are nautical miles. Six nau
teal miles are roughly equal to seven statute
miles. One nautical mile is about three hum
dred yards longer than a statute Or ordi-
nary mile
Black figures for positions indicate that
the position was determined by observa-
ton, for distances that the number of miles
is either definitely stated in the, story or can
be absolutely inferred
OF the return from the pole details have
not yet been given by either explorer, so
that up to the present averages and gen
eralit...s only can be dealt in
Dr.. Cook started out on course to the
west of that on which he went north, while
Mr. Peary doubled back on his tracks
To the eighty-fourth parallel, distance
of 600 miles, DR.. Cook took thirty-one days,

range of positions possible the position taken
is that which calls for least unevenness in
the performances on consecutive days con-
sistent with the statements in the stories.
In Dr. Cooks story the daily distances
are given up to March 80. From March 80
to April 8 one hundred and six miles were
covered in nine days. In the first part OF
this period progress is stated to have been
slow, while later marches were long. Five
marches of ten miles each followed by four
marches of fourteen each were taken as
meeting the situation. Later more frequent
determinations of position are recorded in
the story, and averages have been used.
AS an illustration of the way in which
Mr. Pearys positions were fixed, when not
actually given i'll the story, that at the end
of the day on March ~ may be instanced.

tween these two points. 81 deg. and 81 deg.
min. The actual position used, 81 deg.
rnin.. was given SO as to make the average in
the three days previous to this camp as near
as possible to the average OF the three days
following it.
Again at the start on March II the po-
sition by observation was s. deg. 48 min
On March e the Both parallel was crossed
and Nansen's farthest north, SO deg. IA nin,
was passed. On March "a Capt. Bartlett
'reeled off plump twenty miles and the
Italian record, SO deg. "a min., was passed.
The position when the observation was
taken at the end of this twenty-mile march
was sc deg. 80 min. From these data the
most even distribution of distances which
fills all the above conditions is:
Position
March a. II miles. . IS deg. 50 min.
March e, 10 miles. SO deg. 18 min
March a. 20 miles. 80 deg. 80 min
