II is supposed that Macmillan spent the win
ter at the headquarters established at Etah,
where the explorers built house equipped
with electric lights and other modern appl-
ances, and presumably they are in comfortable
circumstances. Inasmuch as they were sup
piled with provisions for three years, no spe-
cial alarm is felt in regard to scarcity Of food.
Ice conditions have been reported bad along
the Greenland coast, and the fact that Ekblaw
and his companions encountered severe storms
between Cape Alexander and Cape York proves
that travel in the far north is somewhat pre-
carious undertaking. However, in several

What the French Shells Are Doing

without having been really touched by our projec-
tiles Their death must be instantaneous and
without pain for'we find them in the most living
attitudes as if CONCEALED into some familiar end
unfinished gesture. l have seen several whose
pose was that Of living men; immobilized, one
would say, before the Don't novel Of a photog-
rainier As rule, moreover, their dark faces
show no sign of pain but merely Of repose."
These effects, "often contested but nevertheless
incontestable" NJ Nordmann lays to the sudden
change Of air pressure which follows the burst
Of French shells.
"The liqpids, more particularly the blood, which
battle our organism contained In light and
elastic vessels and tissues" he says, ain such a
way that the pressure exerted on these vessels by
the surrounding atmosphere is about balanced by
that Of the liquids inclosed.
"If the outside atmosphere becomes suddenly
rarfed the vessels will be brusquely distended by
the pressure suddenly preponderant of the in
closed liquids, and the tissues may burst. The
walls of the veins and arteries will not suffice,
when unsupported by the pressure of the outer air,
to maintain the necessary pressure, and they will
fun the risk of bursting Analogous phe-
nomenon will take place II, instead Of decreasing,
the atmospheric pressure suddenly increases; the
vessels will then act like paper bags, which chill
dren have blown up and burst with slap of the
hand.
For these physiological phenomena to reach
their maximum intensity the change of pressure
must be brusque, sudden. II it occurs slowly our
tissues have the time, by their natural reactions,
to adapt themselves TO the new pressure.
when one Of our shells explodes it releases
suddenly great mass of gas which augments the
atmospheric pressure in the neighborhood OF the
explosion. This increase of pressure is enormous
and with the use Of modern explosives, Is felt in
@ vide circle in me case Of the German shells as
in that of our own; moreover, 1t is extremely sud
den, extremely brusque much more sudden, much
more instantaneous with our shells than with
those of the enemy.
This suddenness is such, in the case OF equiii-
brum, caused by their defagraton in organisms
exposed TO their effect, suffces to cause instant
death.
ain fact, at the autopsies Of those Of our enc
mics slain without apparent wounds by our "7bs,
we generally find the lungs burst. 1t is kind
Of instantaneous pulmonary congestion that has
done its work and which Is caused by the ex-
tremely swift deAsgration Of our explosives"

months the Ice will begin to break up north
and navigation will be possible.
For some time plans have been discussed in
regard to organizing relief expedition for the
rescue Of the Croker Land exploration party
in view OF favorable conditions for bucklng the
ice off the Greenland coast in July and August
The American Museum OF Natural History has
recently chartered the three-masted two hun
dred ton schooner George B. Cluett with aux
iliary power, to sail on a relief expedition early
in July.
The George B. Cluett has been used by the
Grenfell Association in mission and hospital
work among the fishermen on the coast OF
Labrador. This schooner was built expressly
for the Labrador service and is particularly
we'll equipped to buffet the rough water and
the ice foes of polar seas. An extra sheathing
will be placed upon the hull and the ship will
probably be entirely overhaued before sailing
northward from New York.
Captain George Conner, OF East Haddam,
Conn.,, whaler of forty years experience. who
has made many adventurous trips through the
Hudson Bay region, will accompany the
Croker Land relief expedition as ice pilot and
representative Of the American Museum OF
Natural History Dr. Edmund Otis Harvey,
chairman OF the committee in charge OF the
Croker Land expedition, will probably also
accompany the relief party as representative
of the museum. The George B. Cluett will be

set out on the launch George Borup, pushing
ahead through the heavy sea with mail destined
for Macmillan. The navigators made several
attempts to continue their voyage northward,
but all attempts proved unsuccessful In the
letter that Ekblaw sent to the museum in the
care Of the Danish explorer he reported all
members of the expedition we'll and in good
spirits and established for the winter at Etah,
anxious and ready to continue the scientific
work planned at that base.
The first object of the expedition was to
prove or disprove the existence of Croker
Land. This being accomplished, the second
object was to conduct survey of the Green
land Ice cap above and beyond Etah and to
procure geological, biological and meteorlog-
ical specimens of this region, also to make q
geographical study Of the country.

Harbor and proceed up the coast through the
ice foes to Etah, where the members OF the
Croker Land expedition will be taken on board
with their various collections gathered in Green
land 1t is expected that the Cluett will arrive
in New York with the members of the Croker
Land expedition on board late in September
The members of the Croker Land expedition
are: Donald B. Macmillan, leader and ethnol-
ogist; Fitzhugh Green, U. S. ~, engineer and
physicist; w. Elmer Ekblaw, geologist and
botanist; Maurice c. Tancuary, zoologist; Har-
rison 7. Hunt, surgeon OF Bowdoin College,
Me-; Jerome Lee Allen, wireless operator, and
Jonathan c. Small, mechanic and general aid.

pices of the American Museum of Natural His
