For instance the idea Of motor
sledgc gliding malestically over q limit
less field OF sea ice is something very
few people have ever seen, and conse-
quently almost unbelievable, since. to
the layman, there is no visible means
or such feat being accomplished. Yet
one glimpse at the pictures in motion
and all doubt is dispelled. Not only
does the sledge proPel itself but it
transports tons Of freight; true the
speed Is not fast, never exceeding more
than three miles au hour, but it is sure
and efficient. Then, too, another inuo-
vation is observed al the rear of the

especially in that desolate waste where
Jack Frost is King.
But perhaps something encountered
by the exploring party may prove OF
more exciting interest than the meth
ods OF transportation. Hence, let us
glance, through the eye of the all-con
querlng cinematograpb, al the ma iestic
and awc,inSpirng volcano Mount Ere
bus, in state Of actual eruption. This
film, acknowledged by scientists OF be
the greatest educational exhibit vet
produced, was taken under extreme diff
ficulties and but for the timely fore
thought of Herbert G. Pointing, +. r.
G. S, official expert of the expedition,
it would never have been recorded. He
realized in advance the utter impossi-
bility Of dragging an apparatus, such
as he was cncumbered with. up the
side of an active volcano. and provided
himself with special lens Of great mag
nifyipg power. which he used at a dis.
tance Of fifteen miles from the lip OF
the Greater. Owing to the peculiar at.
mospheric condition prevalent in the
land of the midnight sun, this film is
as clear as a crystal and as brilliant
as a July sunrise.
