two-thirds of the circuit around the
pole. 1t ends at almost the same
place where the drift of the Jeanette
began, and this vessel in turn sank
not far from the beginning point Of
the Fram's long voyage in the grip Of
the foe.
"All drifted toward the west, but
the Fran made more to the north
than the others did. These certified
tracts block a vast area capable Of
holding a continent the size Of Green
land or extensive archipelagoes.
Contrary to some published reports,
the new land north of Siberia found
by Commander Wilkitzky OF the Rus
sian navy cannot possibly be part OF
this supposed land mass. The Fran
drifted In between this new land
(Nlcholas II LanO and the pole,
passing over an area Of deep ocean
soundings. The De Long islands, near
which the Jeanette sank, and the i'll
defined mass Of Bennett Land, may
mark the extreme extension toward
the west of the supposed land of the
Arctic ocean,"
As the work Of exploration carried
on by Mr.. Stefansson Is official in
character, there Is every reason to be-
lieve that after the close OF the Euro
pean war Canada will devote exten-
sive resources to further exploration
based on what he has already ascer-
tanned
Although the Ignite deposits which
Stefnnssoh reports finding are not
considered Of commercial importance
at present, 1t may be that the re-
searches OF the explorer will open up q
new region for development. His me-
neurological and tidal observations are
bound to be of great service to navi-
gators.
The chronological investigations
which Stefansson's ready sympathies
and keen insight into life have enabled
him to make are likely to prove of
exceptional value to science. He was
the first to grasp the spiritual ideas
and concepts Of the Eskimos and to
explain their peculiar beliefs concern
ing the migration Of souls.
Taken all in all, II Vilhjalmur Stef-
ansson returns to civilization In the
spring Of 1918, as he planned to do
he will have a mass Of important In
formation Of all kinds to collate and
arrange. Of which the geographical re-
suits will form an important part, as
they may well lead to the lifting of the
veil Of time from the secrets of an Ice
locked land.

three years showed that cows housed

unfulflled vision of the mighty North.
This much, Of course. Stefansson
knew before he started on his own
quest as conquistador OF the pole
1t was his belief that one day he
would not only set foot on the Crocker
Land which Rear Admiral Peary be
lieved he had seen. but also IND
reaches of territory in what many had
believed to be an impenetrable sea.
He set forth from Teller. Alaska.
on June q, 1913. with a well equipped
expedition in the steamship karluk,
prepared to do at least three years of
work beyond the Arctic circle. The
Karluk was caught in foes 20 miles
from the mouth Of the Colville river.
1t was at this point that Stefansson.
accompanied by Eve men, landed for
the purpose Of hunting caribou and
other game.
The foe in which the Karluk was
embedded was torn from the shore by
a heavy gale In which Stefansson and
his party OF hunters nearly lost their
lives After hopeless drift OF four
months the Karluk was crushed In the
Ice Off Herald island on January IL,
1914 There had been time to remove
most of the supplies to the ice. The
company Of the Karluk which re-
mained was divided into two cO0Na-
hies.
Eleven OF the number In all 1ost
their lives. The others succeeded in
reaching Herald island and also
Wrangell island. Capt. Robert A.
accompanied by an Eskimo. made a
dash to the mainland and the follow
ing September brought the King and
Winge to the rescue.
Stefansson, unaware of the tragedy
In his wake, proceeded on his way
after he had learned that the Karluk
had drifted beyond his reach. The
daring trip which he made to the
| north from Martins Point demon
strated his self-confidence and hardi-
hood. With two companions. Storken-
sen and Ole Andersen. he pressed on

tire resources Of the party consisted

4I3OY&
Conducted by National Council OF the Boy
Scouts of America-)
WORK OF A scouTMAsTER

A big work, this being a master
scout. What manner of man is needed
to do it?
First of all, the scoutmaster must
be q real man himself, the kind OF a
man boys will naturally follow, admire,
respect, emulate and obey. No amount
of book knowledge, no degrees In peda-
gogy will avail If he doesn't impress
the boys as the real stuff"
He must possess that indefnable
quality we Call personality or person
al magnetism" He must be a man OF
proved worth Of character. He must
stand four-square to the scout princi-
Piles in practice as well as precept.
To be a successful boy leader. a man
must know human nature In general
and boy nature In particular. He must
be able to remember back to his own
boyhood clearly enough to be able to
get the boys viewpoint. He must be
enough of a boy himself. whatever his
years. to put himself into relation
Of sympathetic comradeship with boys,
and at the same time be enough Of q
man and a master to keep sufficiently
aloof, so that his boys will recognize
his authority and accept 1t as final.
He must possess tact, initiative, pow
er Of quick decision and action, for al
nest any emergency calling for the
practice Of these qualities may arise
at any time in his work with boys.
The scoutmaster Is also expected to
get In touch with such experts as his
community offers, and enlist their serv-
Ices In scout training.
Boys have an immense respect for
anybody who can "do things" The
wise scoutmaster frankly owns himself
an amateur, and a learner II neces-
sary, at the same time keeping himself
in SO far as possible ahead Of his boys.
Three hours week Is probably the
minimum time required. Nevertheless
II is true that some Of the best scout
masters are otherwise the busiest men.
Just because they are busy men. they
are apt to be efficient men, men Of
power and personality, accustomed to
putting their margins of leisure to
profitable use. Certainly no better use
could be found for the spare hours Of
q good citizen and patriot than to help
In the process of making men, men who
are to be the hope and salvation Of our
war rent civilization.

DAIRY
:
ENORMOUS WASTE IN WINTER
NInnesota Dairy Expert Makes Start
ling Statement as to Amount Of
Milk That 10 Wasted.

Three and .one-half billion pounds of
milk are practically wasted in the
dairy states every winter. This makes
21.OOO.OOO pounds every day. The fore
going Is startling statement, but R.
NJ. Washburn of the division of dairy
husbandry, Minnesota College of Agri-
culture, says 1t Is true. The farmer
feeds most of his skim milk to hogs.
This milk, fed to hogs, produces only
20 per cent Of its energy value in edi-
BILE pork. Eighty per cent of its ener-
gy value is lost. Mr.. Washburn says,
though. that some milk Is necessary to
start pigs off strongly.
Much more Of the energy value of
the skim milk will be saved If it is
made into cottage cheese. Every 100
pounds of skim milk, says Mr.. WASH
burn, is equivalent to 20 pounds of or
dinary meat. and will make Is pounds
Of cottage cheese. The cheese con-
tains about one-third more protein
and one-third less energy than meat,
and is therefore essentially equivalent
to meat.

customed to the many needs Of civili-
zation, have always looked forward
with anxiety to the Idea that they
might have TO subsist on such primi
tive fare, but Stefansson and his two
comrades welcomed the novel subsist
ence methods In their unbroken jour
ney Of 700 miles.
Proceeding to the north and north
west from Prince Patrick island, Stef-
ansson discovered his first new land
on June Is, 1915. in IS degrees north
latitude and ia degrees west longi-
tude. He surveyed this new territory
to the eastward for 100 miles, and
from observations made at a height
Of 1900 feet estimated at that time
| that the newly discovered territory
extended for at least $50 miles. 1t ap-
parently touches the periphery of the
| area marked unknown.
The party returned to a base camp
at Cape Kellett on Banks Land and.
after having communicated Its dlscov-
cry to the outside world. prepared to
push Its explorations further into the
unknown realms Of the North.
More land was discovered, according
to the latest advices, In June of the
following year In approximately so de-
grees north latitude and 102 degrees
west longitude In August of the same
year additional land was seen in ap-
proximately latitude n degrees north
and 1T degrees west longitude. These
figures are only approximate aud do
i not take into account the outline of
the lands as they are likely soon to be
set forth In the official records of the
Canadian government.
That there is a large land mass or
conglomeration of many islands in
the unmapped regions which have been
the objective of Mr.. Stefansson all
these years there can be little doubt.
