 the eminent German aerenanticai ex- pert. recently delivered at Ehristianas In the presence of King Haekon, pr. Nansen, Mr. Amnndsen, and n1aiy ofh- CT distinguished Norwegian, q lecture on Count Zeppelin's forthcoming expe- dition for the ,purpose of tnvestlgating the atmospheric conditions prevailing in
 Polar regons. c ,E,
 He said that the expedition would be
 limited by the length of an Arctic sum
 mer. The airship must be eficientiy equipped and possess radfus Of ac.
 ton of. 1.s0o mics. with q capacity .of travelling this distance within three or four days without descending. s5 It would Dc possible to dispatch an airship of such dimensions and of such
 capacities to the Arctic regions within | two years. Count Zeppelin's expedition will take place in two or three years,
 and in the meantime the preparations | will be rushed forward. The ,prepSfs- tons will be begun by an expedition to [ spitzbergen next summer. when Prince
 Henry Of .Prussia, Co unt Zeppelin. and futiferS sxHerts, wf.I travel northwards r toy nlkKs preliminary investigations. E 'ons of the conditions of the expedi- | ton ltseif. would be that the airship ! could descend without difficulty on | aoating ice and ice anchored to ice.
 
 end of next year large atrship would be stationed on the north coast of Ger many, which would be capable of un- dertaking long fiightu over the sea. In 1912 the promoters of the expefi- | tion' propose to proceed to- Spttzbergen l with two airships. The headquarters or the Arctic. expedition are to be estab-
 lished in Cross Bay in Spttzbersen. The
 airships will carry wireless teaegrAphy | apparatus, and thus remain in csmfnu-
 nicatlou with a land station at Cross I Bay. -~ 5s 4.
 One of the airships will start north wards while the other remains in re- l serve. With e speed of twenty miles per hour It will be possible for an afr
 ship to travel 5000 miles within. one k week.. including inte rvals for landing |. on the ice. Deducting the time spent on
 the ice there would remain four days 1 for actual sailing. in which 1t would pc | possible to- sail round the North Pole. | take photographs of the regions and
 return to Spitzbcrgen.
 In case of propeller fracture or mo- | tor defect the second airship would be | summoned by wireless telegraphy to | the rescue. Professor Hergesell de- clared that in making this attempt l nothing impossible was being tried. be-
 cause aerial navigation has already 1 reached this degree of perfection.

MAKE OUR MONEY TALK FOR
THE AUDITORIUM.

The Chamber of Commerce has voted
81 900 for the proposed auditorium
That action is more than an indorse-
ment It is an Endorsement in action.
1t is, further, revelation of the value
to the community which rePoses in a
trade body which means enough to
make its votes somewhat more than
expressions of interest.
With this impetus, it is much to be
hoped the movement for so badly need
ed an improvement may gather mo-
mentum. The present situation of the
citizens committee on the City Plan
ming Exhibit illustrates the need. That
situation is almost a plight. After a
week OF search, these men and women
having in charge a movement of the
very first importance to the Washing
ton of the future, as well as to the
Washington of today, have been driven
to throw themselves on the courtesy OF
one of the hotels in order to find a
place for the display of the exhibit.
Washington can surely do better
than this. 81. Louis, Kansas City
Minneapolis, Denver, practically every
American city of Importance, whether
smaller or larger than the Capital, has
done better. Let the local committee
on the auditorium make prompt in.

them whitened for the market by re-
fining- The American Sugar Refining
Company-the trust-being the only
refiner, is the only customer to whom
the importer can sell. He cannot sell
TO the trade because his sugar is too
dark to sell. He cannot whiten it in
his sugar mill, because it would be
whitened above the "obsolete and un-
scientific" Dutch standard test, and be
excluded by the duty Hence the
American Sugar Refining Company,
squeezing the raw sugar man with one
hand, and the consumer with the other,
wakes fat and pays dividends on its
hundred millions of watered stocks.
If it were not for this crafty old
Dutch standard color test, the sugar
would be imported into the United
States white enough for the trade, and
would be offered to the wholesalers if
the refners refused to pay fair price.
One of the great inventions of the
sugar business of the years since the
Dutch standard was young is the cen
trifugal mill, something like a cream
separator, in which the molasses and
coloring matter are whirled out and
the sugar made almost white and quite
as good for consumption as that put
through the process called refining. Re
fining is in main, nothing but the melt
ing down of sugar on the crystals of
which the molasses has dried, and fill
tering it out The centrifugal mill
takes it out before it dries, and makes
refining unnecessary, Fine white cubes
or dominoes of sugar, and finely flavor
ed sugar like the old Extra c % can
be made in the modern sugar mill with
no thanks to the Sugar trusts redn
cries. The only reason why it is not
competing in all our markets with the
sugar of the trust is that that Joker
mot above No. l6, Dutch standard" !"
shuts it out.
Real honest revision would take out
the joker and let this competition in.
1t would not be competition with the
American producer of either beet or
cane sugar, but with the trust alone
The American sugar planter and beet
grower would still have his protection
of from % cents to Sl.S25 per hun
dred. He would be safe. But the
monopoly would have competition.
Here is the one instance in the whole
dutiable list, perhaps, where the shell
ter to monopoly nay be eliminated and
the shelter to production retained.
What shall we think of a Congress
which, when the matter is once called
to its attention, retains, against the
voice of Science, Of reason, and of com
mon sense the nefaricus old color test,
the only use of which is the subscribing
of the interests of this pre-eminently
pernicious monopoly?
