Arctic Adventure Overlooked.

In saying that Bradley Land has
already appealed to one explorer,
must tell briefly Of an attempt to
reach it which was made in. 1914 and
1915 by Messrs Rudolph FRANKIE and
Arthur Hack and which failed partly
on account Of unusual ice conditions.
They sailed from Quebec on July 4,
1914, on the s. s. Guide, with the
Canadian arctic explorer and fur
trader, Capt. J. Bernier, who agreed
to leave them at the entrance of Jones
sound. On account of bad ice, they
were unable to reach either Etah or
Jones sound. After a summer spent
III fighting the ice foes Of Baffin bay,
they were finally nipped just south of
the entrance Of Lancaster sound and
forced to winter there. While out
hunting one day a great blizzard came
on in which Mr.. Hack was frozen to
death. This ended Mr.. Franke's hopes
Of trying to reach Bradley Land and

Bernier to find himself a prisoner of
war, unique ending to an arctic voy-

WORLDS BIGGEST GAS MAINS
Pipes With a Six-Foot Diameter Have
Been Placed in Astoria-Bronx
Tunnel.

Inc big gas mains in the Astoria
Bronx tunnel at New York are prob
ably the largest cast iron pipes ever
made, says Popular Science. The in
ternal diameter is two feet three-quar-
ter inches and the length twelve feet.
The one end has the ordinary bell
form; the other the spigot. The
weight of one length is about $4,000
pounds
These mains ere laid parallel and
run down shaft at Astoria on Long
Island, along tunnel 225 feet below
the surface, under East river, and
then Up second shaft at One Hun
dred and Thirty-second street and East
river. They are to carry gas into the
Bronx, the most rapidIy-growing bor-
ough of New York city.
1t is not an impossibility that the
tunnel may some time be flooded with
water Under such circumstances it
would not be desirable to have the
long lines Of iron tubes begin to float.
While the pipes are heavy enough to
prevent their floating, the margin is
not great. The weight of water dis
placed by cylinder twelve feet long
and seventy-seven and one-half inches
In diameter is between $4,000 ard 25,-
900 pounds. The overlap where bell
end encompasses spigot end compli-
Gates the matter little, but after all
| allowances are made, there would
probably be good solid weight to the
pipe lines if the tunnel were full of
water.
The amount of lead used to calk the
joints is about 225 pounds per joint
The mains rest on concrete saddles set
six feet apart.

would be useless to hold out longer for
the volunteer army in view of the
house insistence that the National
Guard should constitute the main re
serve military defense force.
Under the house bill as it stands,
thousands of civilian training camps
might be instituted under direction of
the secretary of war.
1t is predicted that the conferees
will agree on 2 regular standing army
with q peace strength of $4,000 or
10000 men, with the senate expansive
organization system which would make
possible recruiting to strength Of
100000 in time of need. The house bill
provides for a peace strength of 140,-
600 and the senate bill for a peace
strength of $50, 900.
The conferees also are expected to
agree to the main features of the
house bill regarding the reorganiza-
ton and liberalization of the Nation
al Guard, thus providing for a de-
tense reserve of approximately AGO. 900
men.
The house amendment for a nitrate
plant probably will be accepted. I'm
der it $2O,000,O00 would be appropri-
ated for plant to be operated ex-
elusively by the government. Agree
,ment on minor features of the bill,
such as military training in schools
and colleges and organization Details
is expected without much delay.

Question of the Origin of Ore Deposits
Has So Far Not Been Def
niteIy Settled.

Steamboat springs, Nevada, figure
prominently in discussions of the
origin of ore deposits. The waters
OF these springs contain the precious
metals in minute quantities, and the
sinter deposited by them contains sew
eral minerals that are common con-
stltuents of ores, as well as small guam
titles of many of the rare metallic
constituents of ore deposits, including
gold and silver. Such springs, there
fore, suggest to biologists that many
and perhaps most ore-bearing veins
have been formed by hot waters rising
from great depths, which have brought
their metal contents up in solution
and deposited them in open spaces or
assures in the rocks through which
the waters passed, the deposition of
some ores being influenced by chem
1cal reaction with the surrounding
rock On the other hand, many ore
deposits are undoubtedly formed in
other ways, for some are unquestion-
ably of sedimentary origin and the
metal content of some others has been
carried down, redeposited, and con-
centrated by rainwater that descended
into the earth's crust, but the hydro
thermal origin-that is. their deposi-
ton from ascending hot water-of
many of the more valuable ore depos-
its is indicated by the close relation
observed at many places between min.
eraI veins and eruptive rocks.

in New York, the decision to call upon
the married Englishmen in America be-

that the consulate office was making no
