EXPLORERS EAT SHOE STRINGS
Adsiccs from Party in Arctic Tell of
Horrible Pr-ivations of Six
Men

New York. Sept. 22.-Even shoe
strings look good 10 hungry men in
the Arctic, especially if their food
caches have been raided and ruined
by bears and wolverines. Adyices re-
ceived by Herman G.. Bumpus. III
rector of the museum of natural his
tory. from Adolph Anderson and
VIII Jahler Steffansson, who left
New York for the frozen north in
May, 1908, show that the two
scientists have suffered privationa
which made meals of leather ana
oil seem luxurious.
The Anderson teffansson party,
which is making extended ethnologi-
cal and geological collections on the
shore of Arctic America for the
museum, has travelled 400 miles east
of the Mackenzie river, through
regions hitherto untrayersed by ex-
piorers
In the advices just received the ex-
plorers tell of trying journey up
the Horton river, Six persons were
in the party and they carried pro-
visions for two days. The trip took
fifteen days and the hunting was
bad. The party ate whale tongue,
which, owing to its fibrous nature
and to the presence of sea salt, was
very sickening. When the tongue
was gone. they ate sealskins, deer
skins, sole leather and the tough skin
laces used on their snowshoes. Then
there was seal oil, about teaspoon
full day for each man, consumed to
keep away the ravages of hunger It
was taken with deer skin or feathers,
as few of the men could stand it
fstraigh
Finally somebody found a partly
eaten carcass of caribou, which sup
piled them meat for three or four
meals. When it was gone the men
lived on white fish" blubber, taken
straight, and a spoonful each of por-
tons of the animals stomach taken
with oil at each meal. The stomach
contained well masticated moss and
grass. 1t was found of little nutri-
tive value, but did wonders in help
ing the members of the expedition
in eating the oil.
The reports that the scientific re
suits of their work have thus far
been satisfactory.

The much-talked Of Armour dap

THE NEW NATiOSaiISs,

To Mr.. Roosevelt's articles OF faith
he gives the name OF the New M
tionalism. He is dead right in saying
that it all centers in the principles
that the highest purpose OF govern
meet is TO protect men rather than
money, This doctrine has been ex-
cellcntly proclaimed by President
Hadiey in his discussion Of the Dart
mouth College decision, in which.
like MIR. Roosevelt he ventured 20
criticise a decision of the supreme
court The applications of this princi-
pie which Mr.. Roosevelt lays down
are not new. for they have been urg-

He would have officers and direc-
