by putting vessel in the northern ice
pack and allowing 1t to drift over the
open sea.
For years 1t has been a much
argued contention among scientists,
naval officers and geographical stu
dents as to whether the Polar sea is
open across the pole, and for the pur-
pose of verifying this an interesting
series of experiments has been carried
on by the United States government
and the Geographical society OF this
city, in setting adrift specially de-
signed casks in the Behring sea. re-
cording the dates when set adrift and

KING EDWARDS HEIR
Prince Of Wales Taking Keener
Interest in Public Affairs.
Points 10 Own ExampIc--lntImates
That He Was Kept Too Much In
Background During Queen
Victcria's Reign.

New York--The increased public
activity OF the prince OF Wales in re-
cent months has been very evident to
anyone who follows the English press.
With this increased activity there has
come an increase. or perhaps more
correct word would be growth Of
popularity, which probably pleases no
one more than the king.
A writer whose knowledge of
things is second to none says that he
has the highest authority for declar-
ing that this marked advance In pub

is entirely due to the king. The lat
ter recently told the prince Of Wales
that though he himself had had to
fulfill much public duty during the life
OF Queen Victoria, yet he had been
kept aloof from political and diplo-
matte influence, ard 1t was not until
his accession that he could show him
self to the empire in his true light. He
does not want this TO occur with his
son.
At all times the king has shown
himself most affectionate father, al
ways DESTROYS of having his children
with him. There can be no doubt
that not SO long ago the prince Of
Wales showed symptoms of that de-
preston which has grievously op.
pressed his two elder sisters. The
king saw that he needed rousing. At

the bystander paid for this door knob,
