the unreported aerostat is believed to
have taken to the ground.
Expeditions from Several Points.

be eXpeditiously made,' said Mr.. STRAIT
ton, ''and as soon as the drift of the
America II. is ascertained I will send.

party from the nearest available point.
Other expeditions for more extensive
exploration then will be dispatched
from several points.
Otter and Chapleau, Ont, have been
designated as two of the bases of op-
erations, and there will be at least one
in eastern Quebec.
What 1 propose to do in Ottawa now
is to compile a route map and if pos
sible establish the definite drift of the
missing balloon" said Mr.. Stratton In
outlining his plans. 1T may take one
or two days to collect enough informa-
tion to warrant our sending out par

NORTH POLE DISCOVERED
IN THE YEAR 1860.
So Says an Old History Unearthed by
Navy Department Officials.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Althoush his
leave of absence expired yesterday,
Capt. Robert f. Peary, the Arctic ex-
plorer did not report for duty as a
civil engineer in the navy. Acting
Secretary of the Navy Winthrop said
that it had not yet been decided to
what work Captain Peary would be
assigned.
/ Captain Peary has been on leave of
absence for the last ten years under a
tacit understanding that he was to de-
vote his time to Arctic exploration.
His latest leave was granted last April
and as he has not applied for further
extension it is assumed at the navy
derartment that he is ready to return
to active duty. He was recently pro-
NOTED to the rank of captain by virtue
of the retirement of senior officer in
the corps.
Depa rtment officials have unearthed
an old history in which the claim is
made that the north pole was discov-
cred in 1860 bv q friar of Oxford. 1t
is called "A New Naval History or
Complete View of the British Marine"
and was published by John Entick in
London. 1857. On one of it's musty
pages the following paragraph ap-
pears:
'In the year 1860 it is recorded that
triar of Oxford called Nicholas De
Lima or Lynn. betng good aStrOno-
mer went in company with others to
tn. most northern island of the world.
ard there leaving his company to-
gather he travelled alone and made
draughts of all those northern parts
with the indrawing seas; which at his
return he presented to the king of
England. It is added that he went to
the north pole. by means of his skill
in magic or the black art: but this
magic, or black art, may probably have
been nothing more than knowledge
of the nagnetical needle or COMPASS,
found out about sixty years before.

City Of Naples
Swept by Gale
DAMAGE AMOUNTS TO MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS.
REPORT OF TIDAL WAVE
Overwhelming the Island of Ischia in
the Mediterranean Sea-Avaianche
of Mud and Stones from Vesuvius.

Naples, Oct. 24-The island of
Ischia, in the Mediterranean sea, six
teen miles southwest of the city of
Naples, has been storm swept. First
reports reaching here gave a very con-
siderable loss of life from a tidal wave,
but the latest reports indicate that
the victims are few.
Collapse of Houses.
Communication with the island is
difficult, but brief dispatches from
Casamicciola state that while it is be
lieved some persons were killed by the
collapse of houses, the body of only
one woman has SO far been recovered.
Great Damage in Naples.
Naples suffered from a furious storm
of wind and rain last night and all
today, the damage amounting to mil
lions.
Every section of the city bears the
marks of the gale, and the suburbs
were even more seriously affected, sew
eral persons being killed. The sur
rounding country has been devastated,
great quantities of gra pes, vines, trees,
walls and parts of houses being scat
tered about in all directions.
Avalanche of Mud from Vesuvius.
An avalanche of stones and mud
rushed down Mount Vesuvius above
the lava line of the eruption of 1906.
1t swept all before it as far as the
town of Porticf 1t wrecked the tram
line and engulfed nearly a score of
victims.
Report of Tidal Wave not Confirmed.
Up to the present there is no con-
firmation of the report that Ischia suf-
fered from a tidal wave or a seismatic
disturbance. II was in the direct path
of the hurricane Which toppled over
the houses in Casan2icciola and other
villages. After the earthquake in 1888
these places We're rebuilt with the very
thinnest houses which. while admirably
calculated to resist earthquakes, We're
unable to withstand the violence of the
storm of the last twenty-four hours.
Some Bodies Under the Debris.
While it is believed there ara some
bodies under the debris, the very flimsy
nature of the structures probably per-
mitted most of the occupants to escape
death or serious injury.
There is much anxiety here, however,
as many residents of Naples went to
Ischia to escape the cholera. Signor
Sacchi minister of public works, and
Admiral Leonard, minister of marine.
have already arrived at Naples. They
viii make an inspection of the district
and direct, if necesS dry, the work of

if not better than that of any in the
past. Among those present were Col

sressiona1 nominee from the Second

for congressman at large.
