|Amundsen's Men Say Courage

London, March 12.-Captain Amund-

he left a cookstove and d supply OF
food and fuel, according to the Chron-

with the captain and some Of the men
of his party relative to the polar trip.
Amundsen gives In detail his views
of the superiority OF dogs over ponies
for polar work. The dogs he preferred
because OF their better ability to cross
ice bridges, as they were SO much light

trip he lost but two dogs by falling into
creyasses.
Amundsen said that he took many

thought his success was chiefly due to
the fact that he had been fortunate
enough to find an easier pass through
the mountains than the one which
Shackleton followed. He intimated that
his winter camp might soonz be made
the base for a geographical exploring
expedition. In the meantime. he
thought that perhaps the japanese
polar expedition might have made use
Of 1t.

But If you stand two books on the

you have in the thread some substance
that is not changed in it's properties
so much as the thread itself when you

This substance is common salt. with
which SO many interesting expert
ments may be made. Prepare satu-

we call brine, and soak your twisted
thread in 1t. Then hang it up to dry
When 1t is dry soak it again and let it
dry again. After you have done this
two or three times the thread will not
look any different from ordinary twist
ed thread, but when you hang your pa

There will be nothing left but a black
cinder which looks very much like a
very thin burnt match. hut it will be
quite strong enough to hold up your

him. and he responded, Once in 9
