CORK ADDS WEIGHT
TO ARCTIC THEORY
Cask Found by Cimbria's Crew
Thought to Have Drifted
Near Pole.

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-In the
cargo Of he Cosmopolitan liner Cimbria,
which arrived last night from Chris
tiana, was the Melville Bryant drift
cask No. 26. found on the lonely island
Of Soro, off the north coast of Norway,
on November 3, 1908.
1t is the second one of fifty casks set
adrift ten years ago by the Geological
Society of this city in the Arctic seas,
of the northern coast of America, TO
have made the slow drift across the
polar regions TO the shores Of Europe.
They were built to test the theory OF the
Arctic drift, now regarded as well es-
tablished, and upon which the Nor
wegian explorer Amundsen, expects to
rely on his drifting voyage through the
Arctic, on which he viii start next year
The fact that the cask, which was
launched Of Cape Bathurst, west of the
Alaska coast, crossed the Arctic region
into European waters, seems 10 prove
that this task passed very near the
Pole
