Total. ...........................75

For more than 300 years explorers
have been trying TO penetrate the fro
zen north to find the pole and the
tabled northwest passage to the far
east. From first to last, until DR..
Cook reached the goal, their attempts
have been fruitless, and the records
of their voyages have all been alike
in tales Of freezing weather, fields of
impenetrable ice, days of suffering and
often the silence of unsolveC tragedy.
Modern science contributed little to
the progress of discovery in the far
north. Explorers of the twentieth
century scarcely went farther than the
men Of the seventeenth century. Morse
men were the first to touch Greenland
and Iceland, many centuries ago, but
authenticated records of northern dis
coVery begin soon after the discovery
of America.

by Henry VIII of England for dis

faire ships we'll manned and victualled,
having in them divers cunning men to
seek strange regions" One ship was
lost north off Newfoundland, the other
returned to England.

ed for the pole in balloon in 1891 and
never was heard OF again.
Positions OF expeditions around the
pole are usually given in degrees ana
, minutes of north latitude. A degree
, OF latitude at the pole is 69.4 statute
miles, and a minute, which is six
tieth part OF a degree, is approximate
, ly l II miles.

Nansen of Norway in 1895, the Duke of
the Abruzzi in 1910 and Anthony Ia.e
!, Of Brooklyn in 1903 all reached points
, about 25O miles from the pole before
; being obliged to turn back.
THREE ROUTES OFTEN TRIED.
Three have been three often-tried
routes to the pole. The most favored
has been up through the channel be-
tween the east coast of America and
the west coast of Greenland. The sec
ond lies long the eastern side of Green
land, with Spitzenberg as base. The
least used is the Pacific ocean route
through Boring Straits and pushing
north from the Siberian coast
Likewise there are three modern
methods of conducting expeditions.
. the one NOSE often used is to push as
far north as POSSIBLE through the Ice
in a strong ship and, then with we'll
equipped sledge outfit dash across the
ice on foot This was the method OF
COMMANDER FedIy III Iue PAST anu Iho
one he is now using.
DR.. hansen gave a strikig example
of another plan. He had constructed
an exceptionally strong vessel, the
Fran, which he allowed to be frozen
in the ice at a chosen spot, expecting
that the arctic currents would carry
Inn to the pole. The currents, how
ever, drifted him off to one side.
ANDREE's TRIAL BY BALLOON.
The most modern of the schemes IS
to sail through the air. Prof. Andree
tried it first in 1897. With an ordln
ary balloon-for airships had not thel
: been devsed-he set out from Tromson'
Norway hoping to be blown to the
pole by faborable winds. But the bal
loon and it's daring passenger were
lost somewhere in the trackless arctic
region. Wellman is experimenting
with dirigible balloon in northern
Norway Count Zeppelin and others
have planned to use airships
Early expeditions to the far north
were not directed toward the north
pole. The object of navigators was
to find the tabled northwestern pas
sage that would give a short cut to
India and the far east. That was
even the aim of the voyages of Column

Washington Feels Relieved


Washington, Dec. 27.-News of the
flight of Zelaya from Corinto was re-
ceived in official circles here with
varying emotion.
While the state department I'M
doubtedly would have appreciated the
capture of Zelaya and his arraign-
ment on the charge of numbering the
two Americans, Groce and Cannon,
there is in other quarters some relief
in the passing Of the Nicaraguan die
tatOr from the scene.
That no effort was made to block
the flight is accepted as an indication
that the position originally taken by
the secretary of state was not alto
gether tenable. The right of asylum
under International law is one of the
most vigorously regarded stipulations
OF such law, and Zelaya, in demand
ing such a right from the commander
of the Guerrero, registered a request
that could not well be refused.
In the failure of the American au-
thorities to file any protest against
the acceptance of Zelaya's person, the
Mexican commander had no alterna-
tive.

zELAYA TAKES
HIMSELF OFF
His Departure From Nicaragua
Decidedly UnlmpTessive
.FLEES UNDER MEXICAN FLAG


boat as Private Citizen, According
to Mexican OfficiaIs-No Effort by
United States to Block Flight of
Former Dictator-Our Original Posi-
ton Not Altogether Tenable
Managua, Dec. 27.-Jose Santos
Zelaya, ex-president of Nicaragua,
took himself out of the country on
board the Mexican gunboat General
Guerrero, bound for Salina Cruz.
Under the cover of darkness Zelaya,
accompanied by heavily armed
guard, proceeded to Corinto, in which
port the Mexican warship had been
lying for several days close beside
the United States cruiser Albany.
Other American warships swung at
anchor in the harbor, with marines
aboard, awaiting instructions.
Zelaya's coming was unheralded,
but guard from the Guerrero re-
ceived him and soon he was safe I'M
der the protection of the Mexican
anchor and pointed out to sea.
A salute of thirteen guns was fired
from the shore and hundreds of SOL
diers and citizens waved the former
dictator a farewell. Zelaya stood
alone and waved back an answer.
He uncovered when abreast of the
Albany, but the American cruiser
made no response. Then he turned
again towards the shore, gazing until
out of sight.
Zefaya was entertained at luncheon
at Corinto by the commandant of the
port, whose guests included the Mexi-
can minister and the officers of the
General Guerrero. There were no
toasts, but an informal discussion of
the battle of Rama was INDUCED in.
Until the Guerrero steamed away
there was great apprehension on the
part of Zelaya that the United States
would oppose his departure. There
was only feeble demonstration, and
the leave taking of Zelaya was unim-
pressive.
Managuans in general were vastly
relieved when they learned that Ze-
laya had gone, and President Madriz
has already begun his promised work
of reform. All reports that Madriz
intends to resign the presidency are
without shred of truth.

A. D. 81. the Celtic enemy. as Tacitus
relates. were exceptionally strong In
cavalry and charioteers. Successive
kings of Scotland did much to improve
Its native breed Of horses. and in this
connection it is not TO be forgotten
that the first Scottish king of Eng
and. James l.. did more to improve
the race horses in our island than was
ever done before him or has ever been
done by any individual since. James

as It has since been known IN England.

lar courses. and during his reign there
came into being the code OF reSula-

racing has done much for the breed OF
