STEFANSSON'S NEW
LAND A CONTINENT"
He Believes It Runs 800 Miles East and
Far North Of His Quarters.

Stefansson, the Canadian govern
ment's arctic explorer, believes that
the newly discovered land in the Beau
fort sea, upon which he has planted
the union jack in the name Of the Do
minion, is very extensive and will add
many thousands Of square miles to the
territory of Canada.
"A detailed report of his explorations
and discoveries during the last two
years was received by overland mail
from Herschel island by the Canadian
naval service department.
The land which Stefansson discover
ed was northeast Of Prince Patrick
Land. He spent three days on the land,
and from what he gathered he believes
it runs some 300 miles east, but not far
west. AS far north as he could see
there were mountain ranges. The land
had plenty of game.
There were no evidences Of musk
oxen, but plenty of bear and lots Of
caribou. The birds were very numer-
GUS and f]ocks could be seen flying
north in immense numbers, which led
him to believe that the land ran north
great distance.
Stefansson reports that he had "a
nice comfortable time" He and his
two men came through the rigors Of
the arctic winter in first class shape
and were fatter when they came out
than when they went in.
The explorer reports that he is we'll
provisioned, we'll supplied with sleds,
dogs and everything he requires and
has hardy and experienced men for his
new expedition, upon which he has al
ready started in the schooner Polar
Bear.
Last season he wintered at latitude
II, and this winter he expects to winter
at latitude 76, or some $50 miles far
ther north, SO that he will have that
much advantage when he makes his
dash again into the unknown regions
Of Beaufort sea.
He will winter on Banks Land and,
with luck, perhaps on Prince Patrick
Land. He plans to explore the land
which he reached last winter and to
strike out into the unknown regions
where he believes he may even find an
unknown continent.

Steinnetz Says 1t Will More
Evenly Distribute Population.
STEAM CAUSES MANY EVILS
Tells How Conditions In the Factory,
In the Home and on the Farm Are
Being Changed as Electricity Is More
Generally Used and Understood-En-
tire World Facing New Era.


Poor, old fashioned, clumsy and in
efficient steam power! It had a hard
day recently, and it's hardest days are
still ahead, in the opinion Of DR.. G. P.
Steinmetz the edison" Of the insiders
in the electrical field.
Besides being chief electrical engi-
neer Of one Of the greatest electrical
concerns in the world, DR.. Steinmetz
is also responsible for long list Of
patent rights.
Hardly four feet tall, wearing the
same fierce black beard and Wirellke
pompadour and the same piercing gray
eyes that alone would make any pass
erby turn and stare, he was even more
impressive as he leaned on the back of
his chair and in the most commonplace
tones rcdivided the periods Of civiliza-
ton into the time before and after the
development Of electricity, renamed
the most important date in American
history as the time when electrical de-
yelopment work was undertaken and
predicted the end of human drudgery,
slums and steam railroads.
Electricity Changing World.
"Gentlemen," he said in addressing
the members of the Electric club in
Chicago, 'cant you see the face Of the
earth changing before your very eyes?
1t is changing the city, the factory and
the home just as radically as steam
changed it.
Steam built up our great cities, with
their congestion and slums. Electricity
will break them down and scatter the
population evenly over the continent
because electricity can be transmitted
anywhere by simple transmission
wires. Steam must be used where
generated and where there is a large
labor supply.
Cheap Land to Decide.
with full electrical development the
labor supply need not be right at the
factory door. 1t can be moved cheaply
and quickly morning and evening
There will be no necessity for locating
near where the power can be produced
the cheapest, as in the steam factory,
because the power can be carried over
the wires
'The factories will then go where the
land is cheapest. Electricity will run
crrands in the home
1.-THE cost is all that is standing in
the way. But the high cost is due to
the limited use Of the electrical motor
rather than any natural disability. 1t
is as simple as an alarm clock and
should and would be as cheap if it
were used as generally. All we need is
better distribution. The more we use
the lower the cost per unit and the
more electricity will supplant steam
and hand power, just as steam once
supplanted hand power"
Dr.. steinmetz also paid his respects
to the plan Of an advisory board of
civilian inventors for the navy.

ALL PARTIES REPRESENTED

France AccIaims New Ministry Great
est In Its History-lnsures War to
the Bitter End-Nev Premier Will
Rule With Iron Hand-ColIeagues In
cIude Prominent Men Of the Past.
Aristide BRAND, who completed the
formation Of his third French cabinet,
which contains several former pre-
miers, will rule with an iron hand if
he lives up to his reputation. ,-
His political record is studded with
mastery achievements.
He pushed through the law which
separated church and state.
He smashed the railroad strike, the
greatest labor disturbance France ever
knew, without shedding drop Of
blood.
He placed M. Poincare in the presi-
Dental chair
Now he enters upon the titanic task
Of plotting France to victory with the
assistance of the strongest cabinet of
the Third republic and the support of
every party in France.
Every shade of republican thought
is represented in the ministry. The
holy union, proclaimed by President
Poincare at the outbreak of the war,
is to be renewed when the Clerical
leader, Denys Cochin, sits side by side
with the Socialist leader, Marcel Sem
bat.
GaIieni Has Fine Record.
General Gallieni is a grim disciple
marian who will take strong grip On
the army. His greatest achievement
before the war was the paciication Of
the rebellious colony Of Madagascar,
in which task General Joffre served I'M
der him.
The war minister was made military
governor of Paris when the government
was moved to Bordeaux, General Gal
lienis mission being to defend Paris
to the last if the Germans besieged
the capital. He is a splendid organizer,
whose greatest feat in this war has
been to preserve Paris from Zeppelins
The first action Of the new ministry
will be to modify radically the censor
ship, allowing greater liberty in the
publication of war and diplomatic news
and complete freedom to discuss polit-
zeal questions.
Universal opinion is that the consti-
tuition Of this strongest possible cabinet
is a plain warning to Germany that
France intends to continue the war to
the bitter end.
First Real Coalition Cabinet.
This is the first time in the history
of the French republic that there is
a coalition ministry Of all the oppos-
ing parties and factions It follows
closely on the recent innovation of
forming British coalition cabinet Of
Conservatives and Liberals.
The action in forming the cabinet
was the elimination Of deep popular
sentiment that at the supreme crisis
of the war party division should give
way to united action by all the parties
in common support of the government.
AS the cabinet of Viviani was rep
resentative of only few political
groups, the ministers presented their
collective designations, and President
Poincare Immediately charged Arts

new organization, combining all ele-

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING

A little tacker who could only say
that his name was Walter, and that he
lived on Hampton Street, had a very
narrow escape from drowning yester-
day morning.
While William Gasl1ill an employee
at the gas plant, was eating a lunch
on the wharf of the gas plant, he
heard some one crying, and upon in
vestigating found little four-year old
boy overheard and clinging to the rud-
der of boat that was tied up at the
wharf. Hastily pulling him from the
water, Gaskill found the boy was all
right, but badly scared.
The youngster could not give his
name or where he lived other than it
was on Hampton Street. and he was
started home in that direction. How
he fell overheard or how long he had
been in the water could not be learned.

PUPILS TO
Be EXAMINED

New York. Aug. 24.-When the pub
tic schools open next month the Board
of Education will 5e prepared to in
augurate a new measure for protect
ing the health of school children-that
of thorough physical examination
for each child which enrolls in the
public school system for the first time.
This is in conformity with a new pro-
vision of the sanitary code, which be-
came effective last April but was not
enforced then.
DR.. Haven Emerson, Deputy Health
Commissioner, explained today that
the new regulations were the begin
ming of a movement for the improve
ment of health, and that the indirect
effect of the examinations was count
ed on to be of perhaps as much bene-
| fit as the direct effect.
The examinations to be undertaken
are strict, as defined in the provision
of the sanitary code. Following are
the requirements:
Tests for vision, hearing, defects in
| breathing, examination for hypertro-
| phied tonsils, examination for defec-
| tive teeth, determination of nutrition,
examination of the heart, examination
of the lungs, examination for ortheo-
| pedic defects, examination for ner-
vous diseases and general inspection
of the body, to be made in the abb
sence of all clothing.

PHILADELPHIA'S
NEW SUBWAY

Philadelphia, Aug. 24.-In spite OF
the fact that the excavation for the
City Hall section of the Broad street
subway, which will be started Septem-
Der 13, will necessitate the use of large
shovels, dredges and derricks, both
day and night, the occupants of the
Office buildings and stores in the
neighborhood scarcely will be dis
turbed by their operation.
Director Taylor has stipulated with
the contractor all such machinery
must be electrically operated, which
means the virtual elimination of the
noise and smoke nuisance invariably
associated with steam derricks and
dredges. The use of the latter during
the digging of the Market street sub
way caused great complaint, Office
work being interrupted by excessive
noise and buildings blackened by
smoke.
The practicability of the use of cleo
trio power in digging and dredging
work was demonstrated on the con-
tracts for the relocation and recon
struction of sewers for the delivery
loop. And electricity will supplant
steam during the building of the en-
tire Broad street subway, from League
Island to Olney Avenue. The absence
of excessive noise will enable con-
struction work to be done at night
without seriously disturbing the sleer
of-rersons living along that thorough.

ASPHALT IN 1914

Although there was a decrease in
the marketed production of natural as
phalt and of manufactured or oil as
phalt derived from domestic sources
in the United States in 1914, the de-
crease was more than offset by the
greatly increased output from Amer
lean refneries, of oil asphalt derived
from crude petroleum imported from
Mexico.
According to ]. D. Northrop, of tks
U. S. Geological Survey, who attri-
butes the decline in asphalt produc-
tion from domestic sources chiefly to
the increasing use of the product man
ufactured from Mexican oils, the out
put of natural asphalt in 1914 amount
ed tb 77,5SS short tons, valued at
$63O,623; the output OF oil asphalt
from domestic petroleum amounted to
360,6SS short tons, valued at $3,016,-
969; and the output from American re-
fineries of oil asphalt from Mexican
petroleum amounted to 313,787 short
tons, valued at $4.131 ,153. Compared
with 1913, the output of natural as
phalt in 1914 declined 16 per cent. and
that of domestic oil asphalt II per
cent, whereas the output of Mexican
oil asphalt increased 174 per cent
Locally, in Texas and Utah, the out
put of certain varieties of naturally
occurring asphalt, required for spe-
clal purposes, showed gratifying in
crease. In California a notable in
crease in the output of oil asphalt, de-
rived wholly from domestic petroleum,
resulted largely from an increase in
the use of asphalt in highway and
pavement construction in the State.
Asphaltic material and products to
the value of $1S6,142 were imported
for consumption during the calendar
year. Exports during the same period
amounted in value to $1,247, 1920, leav-
ing a trade balance oil $1,06O,87S to be
'credited to the domestic asphalt in
dustry.

THEATRES
FOR GARAGES

Theatrical men in Philadelphia and
elsewhere are doing lot Of worrying
about the coming season. Last sea-
son was disastrous, public interest in
the war having been large influence
in keeping down attendance at places
of amusement The coming season is
extremely problematical. A big thea
trical man in Philadelphia yesterday
gave voice to the dismal sentiments
that pervade the business.
What is to become of all the the
aters through the oyer-stocked thea
trical field next season?" he asked.
'This is a question that is giving many
who have their fortunes tied up in
theater properties much serious
thought. From various sections of
the country come reports of houses
being placed on the market owing to
the poor prospects for the coming
season. 1t is doubtful if there ever
were SO many theaters offered for sale
and the list includes many of the most
prominent houses In principal cities,
with no end of popular-price theatres
and movies.
There is no better example of the
disaster attendant upon surplusage
of theaters than the conditions exist
| ing at present in Providence, R. l. All
| the past season managers of the visit
l ing attractions have complained of the
| lack of patronage in chat overburdened
| community, and now It develops that
not fewer than five of the theaters in
Providence are offered for lease or
sale.
Many of these theatres, like hun
dreds of others all over the country,
spring up like mushrooms at a time
a certain group of managers went the
ater-building mad throughout the
country. Now that the enthusiasm OF
the promoters is dampened, and there
is not sufficient money with which tc
meet obligations, landlords are look.
ing in vain for responsible tenants.
There was bound to be a reaction
f'from this. frenzied condition of the
last fe wyears. Solid, substantial, far.

warnings again and again, but the
public in many instances was gullible
and snapped up every offer of stocl
