CELTIC STRAIN IN AMERICA
Its Interminellns With That Of Other
Races Has Made This Nation
Strong and Great.

II would take a volume, and q large
ono. to set forth the whole OF the
debt which America owes to men OF
Celtic blood. There is a sentimental
effort on foot by men Of this race to
conserve the various branches OF the
Celtic language and to perpetuate in
its purity to future ages the Celtic
blood. The sentiment is admirable.
The Celts. and particularly Irishmen,
have been noted for their ardent
patriotism. No people ever loved
their native sod with such a tender
ness Of devotion as the people of this
green isle. But the Celtic race is
not sufficiently differentiated from
the Latin and from the Teutonic to
make perpetual segregation possible.
For 1000 years the amalgamation Of
these European races has been going
on. and the amalgamation must go on
until in complete mingling OF the
various strains will arise one con-
elomerate people OF various strains
OF the highest type OF humanity that
the world has ever known. The city
OF Boston is more Irish than Yankee,
and the intermingiing OF the blood of
men like Patrick Collins with that
OF the descendants of John Alden and
Cotton Mather is Just what gives US
the men OF whom we are proud. The
influence Of this Celtic race, the pio-
neers OF all Europe. in It's mingling
with the other strains OF white blood
In the American people. is OF more
value than the conservation OF the
Erse sept in Connemara or Tyrone.

SKETCH OF CAPT. AMUNDSEN
Arctic Exploration Has Been the
Dream Of His Life Since Early
Manhood.

Road Amundsen, now about 40
years old. has proved himself one OF
the most competent explorers. Be-
sides reaching the south pole he is
the first and only man to accomplish
the long attempted feat Of taking a
ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific
by the northwest passage. He has
made at a point within short els.
tance Of the magnetic pole the only
set OF complete polar magnetic obser-
vations ever taken.
Amundsen was born at Sarpsburg.
Norway. and in his childhood moved
with his parents to Christiania. His
parents destined him for medicine.
For one year he was a medical stu
dent. but at his mothers death, when
he was 10 years old, he gave up tho
intended career and went to sea. For
a number Of years he cruised in the
north as a whaler and sealer on Nor
wegian vessels.
Amundsen had his first taste Of
exploration when in 1897 he went as
first officer with the Belgica on Ger
lach's Belgian polar expedition. From
what he learned OF the work and ad-
venture OF exploring on this trip and
from the second Norwegian polar ex-
peditiOn of 1898, he became filled with
arctic ambitions of his own. He
formed the project not Of attaining the
geographic pole sought by so many.
but of trying the long-neglected north
west passage and approaching and
studying while on his way the little
known magnetic pole.
1t took Amundsen several years to
prepare himself for his trip. For two
years he studied. first in Hamburg
under Neumayer. authority on magnet
ism; IN Berlin under Schmidt, and
finally at Wilhelmshafen under Bor.
gen In the meteorological station. His
mental preparation over, he spent two
years more in raising funds and outfit
ting his expedition.
The Amundsen magnetic expedition
was perhaps the most modestly ap-
pointed that ever went for purposes OF
discovery into the arduous field of tho
arctic. Its cost was 100000, n large
part OF this Amundsen's own money.
Frithjof Nansen. the Norwegian polar
explorer, close friend and faithful
helper OF Amundsen, helped raise an
other large part. Amundsen was fin.
ally able to put off from Christiania in
the little Alton sloop Of Gjoa on June
II, 1903.
Voyage Of oJoa.
The Gjoa sailed around the north
end OF America, reaching the mouth
OF the Mackenzie river about Septem-
ber 3. 1905. II went by way OF Baf-
fins bay. Lancaster sound. Barrow
strait, Peel sound, James Ross strait
and Rae strait. Twice II wintered in
he ice For period OF many months
during this voyage Amundsen main.
tained an observatory on King Will
liams land. at latitude 68 degrees so
minutes, longitude 30 degrees west.
within 90 miles. as he calculated. Of
the magnetic pole.
The northwest trip, fulfilling the
dream OF the early navigator. brought
Amundsen great renown. He then
planned an expedition to drift around
to the North Polar sea, but changed
his mind after starting and went to
find the Antarctic po1o.

THE OLD MELODIES
OF ERIN
Ancient Minstrelsy Is to
Be Preserved for
All Time.

q ! e: = s: =: :: i: !: !; !:
ALvAA Ireland had remnant of
great part to the nomad
habits Of the strolling musician, old
and, in many cases, blind; but still
playing the old airs on pipes and harp.
and enjoying the love and affection OF
the Irish people. They had almost
disappeared when Edward Bunting IN
dertook to preserve what was left Of
Erin's ancient minstrelsy. An assem-
bly, Of harpers was held at Belfast,
and the tunes as they were played
were taken down by Bunting. The
collection of airs which he published
formed the treasury OF song from
which Moore cleaned his immortal
melodies.
The movement to revive the min
strelsy of the Gael has received a
great impetus within recent years. 1t
affords q field of intellectual effort
wherein there Is no room for the ra-
cial divisions which have proved SO
disastrous in Ireland. Educated men
and women in Ireland of all shades Of
thought are helping along the good
work, and they find willing and loyal
auxiliaries In England, notably in the
great educational centers of Oxford
and Cambridge.
The late Sir Frederick Gore Ousely,
professor of music at Oxford, was a
deep student of Gaelic music and one
of its most fervent eulogists. Long
before Norman influence was brought
to bear on native art" writes Sir Fred
erick, there existed in Ireland tradi-
tional melodies, the origin of which is
lost in antiquity"
New strength has been given the
movement by the accession of Denis
O'Suilivan. the famous Irish-American
singer, to the ranks of the gifted men.
who are directing the Gaelic revival.
II Is an appropriate dispensation Of
mysterious fate that most popular
and influential leader in this patriotic,
artistic movement should come from
the ranks Of the exiled children Of the
Gael. Mr.. O'Sullivan was formally
commissioned to aid in the glorious
propaganda at a complimentary din
ner given to him recently by the Irish
parliamentary party in London. The
eloquent T. P. O'Connor spoke for
Ireland on the occasion.

BABY GIRAFFE
 IS WORTH ITS
 WEIGHT IN GOLD

The only baby giraffe in America is an attraction this year in the me- nagerie of the Barnum & Bailey cir GUS which on June g will exhibit in this city.
 This is the second time in history that the stork has ever paid a visit tivity. Over fifty years ago in the Geological Gardens at London. Eng land, a similar event happened, but the youngster lived only g. few hours. Long after that event scientific ami mai breeders spent fortunes in vain attempts to entice the stork of gi- raffeland to their quarters. After a time they gave up the project and were content with what fuil-grown gi- raffes they could find in the African jungles.
 This curious American baby came like a Christmas present, in the dark of night and all unexpected. The keepers found him in the early morn ing, and great was the rejoicing here, where the show makes it's winter home. It's mother is twenty-two feet tall. The tips of the youngsters ears just reach to the old lady's shoulders. The mother is worth $a2.000. the fa- ther is worth s1aooo and giraffe un- cle of the new arrival Is very valu- able. The, baby is worth more than the rest of the family with elephants, camels and lions tossed in against him. Tn fact he is priceless.
 Baby is as pretty as a picture and the flower of health. He. is going to live a long time to delight thousands Of children from end of the land to the other. He has the place of honor in the baby colony. His vain old mother watches over him and his fa- ther looks at him proudly from afar. At Madison Square Garden. where the circus opened it's season in March, it was the center. of all eyes.
 Barnum and Bailey have a wonder fully attractive zoo In it are over fif- ty specimens not seen in America in the past. except in pictorial form in natural history textbooks. There are forty elephants, thirty camels and dromedaries, twenty llamas, ten yaks, herds of zebras, and curious cattle, all varieties of the bear deer, monkey, and cat tribes, nylghaus, ibexes, gnus. zebus, vlak vaarks, porcupines, tapirs, ant-eaters, ostriches, emus, kangaroos, hyenas, horned horses, hippopotami, rhinoceri. chimpanzees. orang-outangs, water buffalo, caribous, seals, sealions, pecaries and wart hogs.
 Much can be learned in this menag- erie, a giraffe can utter no sound and can go longer than a camel without food and water; an elephant does not smell with its trunk and can feel the bite of a fly; camels are bred in Si- beria; a hippopotamus exudes blood from it's pores when angry; the male ostrick sits on the eggs; the female kangaroo carries its young in pouch; i; e rhinocerous eats less than a dog; the best of Oriental lace is made from the hair of the yak; the South Afric- an vlak vaark, or wart hog, has warts on it's nose only during times of plenty and when hard times come the warts disappear; there are two distinct feathers on every quill in the

SEA BREEZE

Encouraged. by manifestations of liberal support, the new management Of Sea Breeze Island is hustling into readiness for the summer months the big amusement resort, the rehabil1ta- tion of which promises to make it soon the most popular enterprise of the sort in Southern New England. Ar rangements have been made for free open air band concerts by the Wheeler and Wilson band in Sea Breeze Island park throughout the summer. The band concerts yesterady afternoon and famous tenor soloist were attended by thousands, and the popular musical organization is expected to prove one of the most delightful attractions of the many that the new management will soon have in full swing.
 Knablin's Novelty orchestra, with chimes and other musical features that make the ball room doubly attractive, plays during the afternoon and even ing. The ball room is conditioned for dancing better than ever, and with new decorative effects and brilliant lighting it is veritable fairyland in the heart of the amusement resort.
 The Casino. theater, home of high class vaudeville and. motion pictures will be a scene of merriment on We'd nesday night of this week, when anna teurs will hold the boards Amateur night will be of special interest. TOT substantial cash prizes will be offered as an incentive to the entertainers. Applause will be the criterion by which prizes will be awarded. A nursing bottle contest will be introduced along with the other features of the amateur night.
 General Manager Gallagher and his staff are working practically night and day with countless little details to make the island conform to their high standard. Much attention is being given just at present to the bathing facilities, which will be better than ever before. Men are already at work cleaning the beach, and men will be assigned to this. particular duty throughout the summer. while other are rebuilding certain sections of the bathing houses, repairing others, painting, providing suitable lockers, and otherwise putting the bathing pa vilion into first class condition.
