CORRESPONDENT of "The
London Times" calls atten-
. ton to the strange set of

birds and beasts to be
found on the islands and polar con-
tinent of the Antarctic zone. On
Macquarie Island the temperature
Is about 40 degrees and blizzards
are a common occurrence in the
short summer. Yet, according to
this writer, mammals and birds come
up from the sea to rest and breed
on the barren rocks:
"First, there are several kinds of ear
less seals, the members of their tribe
most changed from the terrestrial an
cestor, all with hind limbs permanently
fixed backward and serving with the
tail as a rudder. These most often
come ashore by breaking hole through
the iceAoes that fringe the shores,
door Of return that they have to keep
open from the frost They have been
seen furiously biting round the edges,
crimsoning the water with their blood,
and one of the Antarctic expeditions
came on belated victim dead, frozen
head downward in its final struggle to
return. Notable among the seals are
the spotted sea leopards, the only
formidable carnivores of the region
and the chief enemies of the penguins.
The sea elephants are true seals, and
the small females do not differ much
in appearance from the seals of north
ern waters, but the gigantic males are
cons picuous because of the imitation of
the nasal region into a pendulous,
trunklike proboscis.
"The males come ashore first, landing
on smooth beach, where they await
the arrival of the females, each striving
to collect and to defend against aggres-
sion the largest possible harem. The
sea bears, or fur seals, under whose
coat of coarse long hair lies the soft
fur that is their disastrous possession,
are examples of the cared seals. In
these the hind legs are turned forward
and are used in laundering along the
ground in series Of awkward leaps.

q human species we must go back
to the time when man proper,
as we know him, had not as
yet arrived on this planet. Our
great biologists have irrefutable
evidence that everything in Nature
works on a slow, laborious plan, one
species being developed slowly into
another from the smallest animal
cula up to present man.
When man still was in the what
we may call animal stage, i.e., when
he was not thinking" as that term
is understood, he was wholly guided
by instinct. His Thoughts" if so
they may be called, probably were
on much lower plane than thoughts
Of the average dog The chances
are that the presentday dog prob
ably thinks" much better than pre-
historic man. We also find that
thought and language go hand in
hand. Crudely speaking, prehistoric
man had no better language than
any highly developed animal, such
as dog, cat or horse.
Through thousands of years of
evolution, however, instinct de-
veloped into crude thought, and final
ly there came a time when pre-
historic man really began to think,
as we know the term. That was the
time when he began to utter his
thoughts by means Of his voice. At
first only a few crude words were
formulated, and probably consisted
of not much more than the gibber-

that, with due preparation, he can
climb to an altitude of more than
10000 feet. The story of his flight
for height he tells in popular
Mechanics" as follows:
Il have been connected with avia-
ton since 1910, and during this time
| have worked as a mechanic for some
of Americas leading pilots and gained
very valuable training. l was always
keen to learn all l could, and | dare
say that all my past experiences were
beneficial to me in my efforts to estab-
lish a new worlds altitude record.
The last worlds altitude record hello
by America was made in August, 1911,
when the late Lincoln Beachy made
a climb to II ,642 feet at the big avia-
ton meet in Chicago. Since that
time G. Legagneux, in France, made
climb to 20,258 feet on December
! %, 1918.
"In order to take an airplane to n
higher altitude than any other pilot
in the world I found that more than
one or two attempts would be neces-
sary. l made three, the first taking me
to an altitude of $4,000 feet, the sec
ond to $4,000 feet, and the last to
800 feet, all of which would have
been worlds records, and now I feel
certain that with a few changes and
improvements l can get to 10000 feet.

1.-THE following experiences and SEN
sations which I noticed during my
flight were due to lack of oxygen.
took off at 1:45 p. M, September
IS, 1918, and made steady westerly
climb, passing through clouds at 5000,
10000 and $4,000 feet. At 10000 feet,
while still climbing in large circles,
my goggles became frosted, making it
very difficult to watch the Instruments
The temperature at this altitude was
10 degrees centigrade below zero When
l reached $4,000 feet l noticed the
sun growing very dim, I could hardly
hear my motor run, and l felt very
hungry.

it must be getting late, that evening
must be coming on, and that this was
the reason the sun was getting SO dim.

EXPLORER HAS PLAN
 TO DEVELOP ARCTIC
Stelansson Sees iD It Wool, Milk and Meat Producing Area.

Ottawa, May 6.---A plan for con- verting the Arctic and sub-Arctic re- gions of Canada into a, great wool, milk and meat producing area was presented to the Canadian senate and house of commons today by Vilhjal- mur Stefansson, Norwegian explorer of the Canadian Arctic. His project involves introducing large herds of reindeer and domesticating and deve1- oping great herds of musk OK. Both animals would furnish milk and meat supplies and the musk OK would af- ford, also, a, wool supply.
 The Canadian north, Mr. Stefans- son said, could be utilized to help solve present and future food short ages, and development of his project would expedite opening of mineral and other resources of the north. He estimated there were from 10000 to 100000 square miles of land available for grazing in a climate too severe for cattle but where reindeer and musk OK could exist the year round.
 About 20 years ago" MT. Stefans- son continued, the American govern ment introduced 1,2S0 domestic rein deer into Arctic Alaska. From the | point of view of the government, this was sort of charity, for the sole aim was to give a possibility of economic independence to the Eskimo. The 1 prevailing opinion was that this object would not be attained, and few of those who expected the enterprise to succeed even dreamed of it's present magnitude or the meaning it would have for Alaska today or for the world tomorrow Under Eskimo care, these herds have increased al the rate of doubling in three years. But the few animals that arc in the hands of white men arc found to double in numbers every two years. The white men look further into the future and. therefore, butcher only male animals The Els kimos butcher females each wear for reasons Of fashion in clothing.
 When the American government gave reindeer to the Esk imos they made each Eskimo promise he would not sell q female reindeer at any time to White man, the object being mere 1y to promote the economic welfare of the Eskimo. But it was found nc cessary to secure Laplanders to in struct the Eskimo in the care of the deer and these Laplanders were by the government allowed to own rein deer herds on tho same terms as the natives. The government overlooked limiting the Llaplanders as they did the Eskimo, and these Laplanders have therefore, recently sold practi- ca1lly all of their reindeer to a firm of American capitalists who own at . present about 5.o00 deer. This con1- ! pany sold about 1,60o carcasses of 50 pounds each on the American markets last year at d price ranging from five 10 Is cents q pound in excess of the corresponding cuts of domestic beef
 There is in England q well-es nshed market for reindeer meat, for 1here it has been imported for many years from northern Norway, and 100 carcasses of Alaska reindeer were sold thls year in London at 8 price of about

 BOLSHEVIK FLEET
Americans, British and Russians Maintain Positions in Archangcl,
 Despite Attacks.

Archangel, May ,, (By the Asso- ciated Press) Allied forces succeed cd yesterday in repulsing the first at tack by Bolshevik gunboats on the Dvina. The enemy feet attempted to approach the positions held by Amer ican, British and Russian forces on the right bank of the river but failed the Allied having guns mounted which covered all parts of the chan mel. Artillery fire continues from both the river tlotilla, and tho Bolshe- Nik batteries at Tulgas, but up to this morning no Allied casualties were re- ported
 The ice has broken up in the river near Archangel, and though the chan mel is still a mass of swiftly floating ice cakes, 1t is only matter of a few days until the Allied gunboats can force their way pp stream and go to the aid of the Allied land defenses.
 On the Vasa sector the Bolsheviki suffered heavy losses yesterday, when after long bomb rdme ent they at. tackled the village of Rernesnilf which was defended by Russian and British infantry and Arm eriean snei neers Moving to the north of the village the Bolsheyik infantry at tempted to penetrate the Allied wire entansienen They were com nlete lE repused leaving 30 or 40 dead in

This addition will give a larger variety for the army mess, and an energetic mess sergeant can pro- vide an attractive bill of fare. Candy and tobacco were added to the ration of the soldiers in France early in the war.

Washington, Jan. lathe Su-

ment prohibits interstate transpor-
tation into dry states Of intoxicat-
ing liquor for beverage purposes
even when intended for personal use.
AS interpreted by the court, the
law nullifies state statutes permitting
limited amounts OF liquor to be
brought in for personal use.
Justice McReynOlds, in dissent
ing opinion, concurred in by Justice
Clark, declared the Reed amendment
vas not an interstate commerce

inter-meddling with a states affairs
and beyond Federal power.
The opinion was rendered in pro-

Under the Reed amendment against
Ben Hill, who was charged with
taking quart OF liquor into West

The lower court dismissed the in
tictment, holding the liquor had not
been transported in interstate COM

Hills personal use and not for trade.
This decision was reversed to-day
