prayer.
AS soon as the chaplain had fin
ished his invocation, Vice President
Sherman began his inaugural ad-
dress, in part, as follows:
Senator's: There is no need to
recite the history of this great legis-
lative body, proud of it though We
be; nor yet to suggest methods which
might in coming time enhance its
usefulness The world knows the
one and you understand the other.
SIN a government for and by the
people the necessity of clearly de-
fining the rights and limitations of
the several branches thereof is mani
fest. An hundred years has demon
strated the far sightedness and wis
dom of the trainers of that instru
ment which has furnished the founda-
ton of our legislative action. The
vice president is not one Of the MAX
ers of the law. His duties are rather
to regulate in this body the method
of making them; to regulate not in
accord with his will and ideas, but
| in accord with rules which you your
selves have established. It is for
the presiding officer to require you
imposed regulations just as it is the
duty of the supreme court to deter
mine if your action is in accord with
the constitution. Two decades of
service in this capitol, though not in
this chamber, has impressed me with
the weight of senatorial responsible
| ity, and the value of senatorial duty
we'll done. 1t is neither we'll to min
imize the former or exaggerate the
latter but to have both ever in
mind.
81 am aware that the great bur-
den is on your shoulders, not mine.
[ do not, however, fail to realize
that | have duties to perform which
require industry, clear mind and
controlled temper. I shall strive
to perform such duties with courtesy,
limpartiality and fairness.
'T am indicted into the vice presi
dency with appreciation of the dig
nifty and honor of the lofty place and
with pleasurable anticipation of close
association with men of high ideals
and patriotic purpose.
81 accept, sir, from your hand the
gavel with the earnest hope that l
may measure up to the standard you
have set and If 1 do I feel that /
shall have met the expectations Of
the most exacting.'
At the conclusion Of his address
Mr.. Sherman administered the oath
of Office to the new senators. One
of the old senators made motion
to adjourn; it was carried without
opposition, and the galleries and

Rescue Efforts Add to knowledge.
In all, about 15 rescue expeditions
set out from England and America
between the years 1S4S and 1854. and
each added to the general fund of arc
tic geography. Finally traces Of the

covered all along the west and south
coast of King Williams island the re-
mains of articles and skeletons that
told the story of the disaster.
A record was discovered in a cairn
at Point Victory which briefly told the
history of the expedition up to April
25, 1S4S. The record tells the tale of
Frandin's death and the beginning of
the end in these words:

June II. 1S47, and the total loss by

The disaster which overlook Sir
John led to the discovery of 1000
miles of coast line. Among the ex-
peditiones which started out from
America as result of the interest
aroused were those of De Haven and
Griffith, 1850, and of DR.. Kane, In 1853,
and later of DR.. Hayes and Hail.
Andree Only Serious BaiIoonist.
The only really serious balloon at
tempt that ever has been made to
reach the pole was that of Andree,
Norwegian, and that probably has
ended fatally. Andree started from
Danes island, Spitzbergen, on July II,
1897. In the balloon with him were
d. S. T. Strindberg and Herr
Fraenckell His balloon was CT feet
in diameter with a capacity of 100000
cubic feet.
He estimated that he would reach
the pole in six days, provided a favor
able and constant wind was blowing.
Two days after he departed a message
was received from Andree, by carrier
pigeon. The message said that at
noon, July 10, they were in latitude
1922 degrees and longitude 1876 de-
grees east, and making good progress
to the east. ten degrees southern.
A year later Eskimos brought into
Hudson bay pieces of cordage and
basket work which are supposed to
have belonged to the Andree balloon.
Several expeditions have been sent
in search of him without result.

Peary Plants Flag in Ice.
Peary planted flag on the highest
pinnacle of the ice field and left a
bottle containing a record of his ex-
petition. On the return trip an ice
bridge spanning a lead gave way with
the Peary party and set them adrift
on a foe. They were carried east
steadily for five days until they were
obliged to use their sledges for fuel
and some of the dogs for food. They
finally succeeded in crossing the lead
on young ice which sagged with every
step. On May IL Peary and his COM
rades landed on the north coast of
Greenland, and there met one of the
supporting divisions which also had
drifted to the land on an ice foe.
Until Peary's third attempt the duke
of the Abruzzi's expedition held the
record in the struggle to gain the
pole. On March %, 1900, the duke
and his party were at latitude of S6
degrees 80 minutes north. Unlike
Peary and DR.. Cook, the dukes party
made their attempt with sledges from
the north shore of Franz Josef land,
establishing the base of supplies there.
When they started out they figured
they would have to make 4S0 miles in
As days.
Certainly" said Capt. Cagni, who
t1n dub 70 nynadifinn
sit seemed OVERLOAD, even to ourselves,
to count upon daily march of more
than ten miles"
After the dukes party got under
way they found actually that they
made less than ten miles day, al
though those figures were exceeded
a little on the march back.
The duke of the Abruzzi's party
started north from Franz Josef land
February rs. They encountered vio-
lent winds and bitter cold. On March
% three men were sent back to estab-
lish communication with the base Of
supplies. They never more were
seen. 1t was on May IL that the dukes
party reached the latitude 86 degrees
and 33 minutes. There two cylinders
containing record of the expedition
were left The party did not get back

undertaking that has attracted many
adventurous spirits since the middle
of the nineteenth century, and for
hundreds of years before that intrepid
European explorers had been sacri-
ficing life and limb in an endeavor to
find a northwest or northeast passage
through the ice fields to the wealth
of the orient.
The best previous record to DR..
Cooks reported final triumph was that
of Capt. Robert e. Peary, who on
April 26, 1906, reached lititude of 81
degrees 6 minutes north, or a station
within 200 statute miles of the pole.
This was Peary's third attempt to
reach the much sought spot, and he
now is at Etah, on the west coast of
Greenland, preparing for his fourth
dash into the northern ice fields.
Peary started on his sledge jour
ney over the ice field about three
weeks earlier in the season-February
%, 1906, to be exact. Peary left land
at Point Moss. Peary had Fl Eskimos
and 100 dogs. He divided his party
into several divisions, his idea being
to keep in touch through these differ
ent divisions with base of supplies.
Peary found the sledging for the first
so miles from land rough and progress
SLOW
Six Days Travel Without Sun.
He had his first glimpse of the sun
six days after he had started. AS the
party got further from land, however,
the sledging improved, but the leads,
or openings in the ice, became more
frequent. On the sixth day out, at "a
degrees 38 minutes north, Peary and
his party struck lead that held them
up for nearly a week. They finally
got across, over two-mile stretch of
young ice. Then they were held up
for six days more by a terrific wind
and snow storm. When they were
ready to resume their march pole
ward they found they had been carried
10 miles to the eastward by the foe.
Capt. Peary sent two Eskimos back
to establish connections with the d.
visions behind. The Eskimos returned
after three days and reported that
they found only open water. Peary
could no longer depend on his support
ing parties and he made up his mind
that quick dash for the pole was his
only hope.
He abandoned everything that
wasn't absolutely necessary and start
ed, his men trotting behind him in
Indian file. In ten hours they made
80 miles. AS Peary advanced he

Tram from the northern coast of Fin
land. His was the novel scheme of
being carried in the ice foe to the
pole. His vessel entered the foe on
September 20, but the drift carried ii
toward Spitzbergen rather than to-
ward the pole. DR.. Nansen decided
that he would have to leave the ship
and make trial with sledges
He left the Tram, and with 2S dogs,
three Eskimos and two skin canoes,
started out over the ice on March 10,
1895. In II days he had reached a
latitude of Sc degrees and IA minutes
north. At that time this was ITO
geographical miles further north than
the best previous record, made by
Lockwood back in 1882.
Nansen was 261 statute miles from
the pole, equal to the distance from
New York city to the southern boun-
dairy of the White mountains Nansen
had many hardships in getting back
He lived for ten months in a house
built of stones, with a walrus hide
roof and the whole buried in snow.
He finally was picked up off Cape
Flora by the Jackson expedition, which
had spent two years in Franz Josef
land. He arrived at Vardo, whence
he had sailed, on August 10, 1906
About week later his ship Tram,
which had been carried for years in
the ice foes, reached the same port.
The Norsemen probably were the
first Europeans to visit the arctic re-
gions and Greeland. The struggles to
find short cut to the riches of the
far east were more productive OF ad-
ventures and loss of life than the
later day dashes for the pole
Sir Hugh Willoughby sailed in 1853
for the search and discovery of north
ern parts of the world" He discov-
cred Nova Zembla, but starved with
most of his men in Lapland on the re-
turn voyage.
F'robisher in 1876 and Davis in 1858
made voyages to Greenland and the
north coast of America. Henry Hud-
son in 1907 reached latitude 70 de-
grees on the eastern coast of Green
land and added to the knowledge of
Spitzbergen, which was discovered by
Dutchman, William Barents, in 1856.
Through the seventeenth and eighth
eenth centuries more and more
knowledge of the arctic was gained,
and in 1907 Capt. Giles made a voy-
age far to the eastward along the
shore of Greenland and saw high land
which since has been Giles land, in
the latitude of 80 degrees north.
American Takes Whalers' Record.
Capt. Scoresby, in command of a
whaler, succeeded in advancing his
ship, the Resolution, as far north as
81 degrees IL minutes AZ seconds in
1906. This was the record until Lieut..
Edward Parry, an American, reached
latitude so degrees As minutes in an
attempted dash for the pole from the
northern coast of Spitzenberg in 1927.
The Inflated expedition of the Eng
fish admiral, Sir John Franklin, indi-
rectly was responsible for much val
liable arctic exploration. Sir John
sailed on May 10, 1845, with two ships
and 1919 men to make the long desired
northward passage. The ships were
last seen in Baffin's bay on July 26 of
that year, in latitude IA degrees As min
utes. No great anxiety was felt in
England until 1S48, and in that and
succeeding years expedition after ex-

He noticed also that all the cracks
in the ice were at right angles to their
course and that the ice on the north

more rapidly than that on the south
ern.
The dogs began to give out under
the strain, and as they dropped Peary
