dsen, noted Norwegian drifting in
| his ice locked boat eastward from the
! Atlantic, and Storker Stokerson lieu
tenant of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Can
adian explored, floating westeward
from the pacific on an ice pack, are
both believed approaching the New
Siberian islands, which jut out of the
Arctic Ocean off the mouth of the Le-
ma River in Siberian Authorities
credited with knowing the Arctic cur
rents believe the two will reach is
lands early next year.
No other explorers are now in the
Artic and it is thought very like ly
| that Meth Amundsen or Storker.
son knows the other has the same
goal in mind. They probably will not
meet, for Storkerson is expected to
arrive ahead of Amundsen and pro-
badly will land far west of Amundsen
course.
Amundsen, the discover of the
South Pole and navigator of the diff
ficult northwest passage, is on the
/ first lap of journey to the North
Pole. He expects to make the last lap
by airplanes. Storkerson is bound
back in the in the general direction
of civilization after sending several
years in the Arctic. Both are seeking
new lands and studing the currents
and life of the northern ocean
When Amundsen reaches the Sibe-
rian Islands, the current, it is believ-
ed will turn and carry him north. He
is expected to remain with the drift
until it lands him on the immorable
ice far up towards the Pole. There,
according to his plans, he will estab-
lish a base and attempt to fly the
rest of the distance to the top of the
globe.
! Storkerson, according to his plans,
will leave his ice pack when it reach
es the Siberian islands. With his five
men he will come ashore and make
is way back to Alaska. His friends
expects to hear of him landing some
time next summer near Lena. How
ever, they say he may change his
plans and come ashore before that
time.
Stefanson, when he was in the
north last winter, planned to make
trip Storkerson is now on. After he
completed arrangements and purchas-
ed all the necessary supplies and dogs
illness forced him to come outside.
When he left he put Storkerson in
charge.
The Canadian thinks Storkerson's
trip is one of the most daring Artic
feats ever undertaken. "He is up
there camped on the ice and practi-
cally living off the ice pack" Storker-
son says. "Other explorers do their
work from their ships Ships are little
less than floating hotels. Storkerson
has no ship. If Storkerson doesn't
get homesick we should hear from
him next year
Storkerson and his five men were
landed last May on the ice pack about
$50 miles northwest of Herschel Is
land. Rough estimates show that the
ice at times drifts more than mile
a day This current, Stefansson thinks
carried Storkerson westward until in
October he probably was about 200
miles due north from Wrangel Is,
land, eff Siberia and east of the New
Siberian Islands
The Karluk, Stefansson's first boat
which was lost, was carried west
ward from off Alaska When it was
crushed in the ice, it was off Wrangel
Island. Storkerson expected to gel

Gabie-a-nOng.
Now, you know the Indian ceremony

WHAT FASTING FEELS LIKE
Unlvsrsity Of Chicago Professor Has
Made Public the Results Of In
Vestlpations He Has Made.

In numerous descriptions Of the ex-
periences Of man in the course OF
more or less prolonged fasting, one
meets the repeated assertion that aft
er q brief initial period little or no
hunger whatever is felt. Since 1t has
been well-establlshed that the sensa'
tlon Of hunger is induced by certain
type Of tonic and peristaltlc contrac-
lions Of the empty or nearly empty
stomach, 1t must be assumed either
that these cOntractions are abolished
as q fast proceeds or that the sensa-
tlons are decidedly modified.
A professor OF the University Of
Chicago has lately had an exceptional
opportunity to investigate these Ques-
tlons. As the result Of careful OBJ
seryatlons on man during prolonged
intentional starvation. he found that
during the Is days complete fast and
the subsequent eight days Of absti'
nence from food with daily ingestiOn
Of cotton fiber. the gastric hunger con-
fractions Of his subjects continued
with practically normal rhythm and
intensity; but the subjective scnsa-
tiOns induced by the gastric c0ntrac-
tions appeared TO be somewhat weak
ened and tinged with an element Of
general epigastric distress or sick
stomach.
