tiOn and making observations. -
The airplane could make a quick dash
across this region, but the trip could not
bring about the same systematic results
that could be obtained If a submarine
cruised in this territory. One of the most.
desirable achievement that could result
from polar expedition would be the plot
ting of the ocean bed. This could only be
done through making soundings at various
interVals-say, every ten miles.
ITO accomplish his an airplane would be
forced to descend every time. Often there
might be no suitable landing place, and
hence an absence of the system and regII-
laTity that are needed.
One advantage of the submarine would
be that it would be eOmmodious and eouId
provide room for laboratories, besides car
rylng all the necessary instruments for
making scientific observations. A great
amount Of microscOpical work would have

linens that would be secured. IL the shin
was properly lighted this work could be
carried on inside conveniently and COM
fortably. Some of it might even be done
on the deck of the ship, or, if necessary,
a camp might even be esta blshed on a
cake Of ice.
Such an expedition would be of a Der.
manent nature. just the same as an ex.
pedition aboard a surface ship. The sub
marine could carry Z. complete staff Of
scientists and plenty Of room could be had
for all the work which they might have to
do. Given plenty of time to proceed with
out haste invaluable data could be COM
piled. The chemistry of the sea. water
could be studied carefully and the tenn
peratuTes taken at varying depths.
THE voyage" he continued, could be
carried on through months, affording time
for careful study of the biology of the
ocean. Of course, it would be impossible
for a submarine to descend to the bottom
of the ocean for this purpose The Arctic
Ocean, from what We already know Of it,
is from one to two miles deep, and no
boat as constructed to-day, could with
stand the terrific pressure at such a
depth.
Dredging the OCEAN bottom could be
carried on continuously, and the remains

could be constructed so as to withstand a
greater pressure than 4, steamship or sail
ing vessels. At any rate, there would be
no need for a submarine remaining frozen
in the fee. 1t would be a simple matter
for ii to submerge.
SHOULD it be necessary to come to the
surface at point where there was no open
water l should think that a bomb similar
to our naval depth bombs. could be at
tached to a buoy aud freed When this
reached the ice abuye it would explode
and open up place to rise to the surface
"The actual things Of benefit that an eX-
ploring submarine would accomplish would
be those things resulting in the extension
of human knowledge. A submarine could
do all Of the things which a steamship
could do and at the same time have
greater chances Of success. The airplane,
while valuable for preliminary scouting
expeditions is handicapped by limitations
in flying radius AMI does not afford the
necessary space nor the permanent char
acter that the submarine does"
While the submarines of the United
States navy are constructed to Withstand
the pressure at a maximum depth of 300
feet-an ample allowance for cruising In
the polar regions-thVse of Germany
are said to be capable OF descending twice
that distance. Should the German method
of hull construction be superior to that of
other nations, the secret is now in the pos
sission of the allied naval architects. It
is probable that by means of heavier
plates and interior bracing that even
greater depth capacity could be provided
for submarine designed for sub-aqueous
archaeological work.
AS an adjunct in studying the science
of the sea from craft of this nature the
Of Fbo nF

of ingenious contrivances for deep-sea

Since the war nothing has been heard Of
the activities OF the Italian, Professor
Giuseppe Pine. II viii be recalled that he
was the first person TO accomplish any
great practical results I'm deep-sea expIora-
tions. II Professor Plno has carried on his
studies in this field during the period Of
the war he doubtless will be able TO make
valuable contributions toward equipping
undersea craft with powerful lighting ap-
paratus.
He is the inventor OF two machines
which were reported 10 have obtained mar
Vellous results. One was called the Hydro
scope and the other the Elevator. The
former Is an instrument which enables
human eyes to look down IN the seas and
examine the floor at any depth and the
latter designed to recover from the water
objects as small as pearl or a coin. Some
remarkable results we're achieved with
these inventions during a series of trials
made by the Italian Government In Porto
fino harbOr in January, 1903.
Given a hull which would withstand the
pressure at 1000 feet below the sea level
there is no question that the cities Of the
Gulf Of Campechy could be thoroughly in
spected and the remains brought to the
surface. OF course, Il would also be neees-
sary to provide q new type OF suit for
divers working under such tremendous
pressure.
Unless Professor Pine has perfected his
method Of sub-sea lighting it may be nee
essary to employ cod light to overcome
this difficulty Rays Of artificial light, ex-
perts have determined, do not penetrate
further than thirty feet in water. How
ever. a method of using cold light-that
furnished by frehies and phosDhorescent
fsh-is being perfected, and the rays from
this source are said to have a greater pen
etrating property in water.
With a system Of lighting the depths
perfected, motiOn-picture machines could
be carried on board and all the wonders OF
marine growth and life recorded for the
enjoyment and education of the public.

surface for study"
Mr.. Stefansson, while disclaiming any
technical knowledge of submarine con-
struction, said that a submarine in order
TO operate beneath the ice foes would
have % be constructed so as to navigate
at depth Of 200 feet. This estimate" he
said, ALLOWS a margin of safety of eighty
feet. The thickest ice that have seen or
known OF in this region was about 120
feet; this was grounded ice. Ice in the
polar regions seldom attains a depth Of
more than seven feet through actual freez-
ing. The deep ice is that which has been
subjected to the piling up effect of the
winds and tides. 1t piles up, freezes to-
getheT, and as it takes on additional
weight, Of course, sinks deeper in the
water.
Anyone who makes the statement that
difficulties would be experienced in COM
ing to the surface because of the ice
frozen above the ship can have no knOwl-
edge of conditions in the polar foes. There
are frequent spaces Of open water, for the
ice is continually opening up and splitting
into leads, especially when the wind is
high. IL a submarine was constructed
with a glass observation section-I don't
know If this is possible or n6t-as the
surface was approached the ice could be

the best time for such trip. At that time
the temperature of the Arctic waters Is
not lower than % degrees above zero
Fahrenheit. This is but little below the
freezing point, 32 dearees, so you can see
that with heating arrangements inside the
submarine there woald be no trouble in
keeping warm and comfortable.
"On the, score of danger, all polar ex-
peditions are subjected to the element OF
danger, but to my mind there would be
less danger to a submarine than to any
other kind of a ship or an airplane. IL a
sailing vessel gets caught in the ice it is
more than likely to be crushed. Nor can
it get out until the ice opens up. do not

1000 GERMAN SAILORS
TO BE REPATRIATED

Washington, June 10.-Return to
Germany of about 1000 former Of
ficers and sailors taken from Ger
man vessels when the United States
seized enemy shipping at the out
break of the war will begin about
July 10. Those to be released now
are being held at Forts Mcpherson
and Oglethorpe.
Forty other enemy aliens, at first
interned at Panama and later taken
in suctody by the United States, will
be returned next week to Panama,
preparatory to being sent back to
Germany and Austria.
The aliens to be returned from
Forts Mcpherson and Oglethorpe
will be designated from a list pre-
pared by the Swiss legation and
probably will be embarked at Charles
ton, S. C. The United States gov
eminent will pay all the expenses
of the prisoners to the ship, but the
cost of passage and transfer from
the port of debarkation to their
homes will be charged to their govern
ment. The Panama convoy will go
from New Orleans, probably on the
army transport Fitzpatrick.

of age, who had been living at Mott,
in the fourth ward, wandered away
from his little camp home Search

him ana his neighbors decided that
he had been enticed away by some

beyond a doubt was the remains of
this poor old man. The bones of
this skeleton showed no evidence of
foul play and the Coroner and his
jury are OF the opinion that he got
lost and being very weak, exhausted
lay down and slept and
could never get up; The old man
was very feeble and used a crutch.

KENYON BILL RECEIVES WIDE
SUPPORT.
An Important Step Toward Lower
Cost Of Living.

Inc henyOn bill lo-llUlJ now Ue-
fore Congress, has received the sup
port OF the National Consumers
League, the Farmers National Com
mittee on Packing Plants, the Fed
eral Trade Commission, and the
Southern Wholesale Grocers' Asso-
citation, as we'll as numerous wo-
mems organizations. The Montana
House nf Representatives in special
session, August 2, endorsed the Ken
yon Bill by vote of 80 to 10. This
bill is being supported for the rea-
son that il is designed to regulate
great monopoly OF meat products
and substitutes for meat. By re-
storing competition in food stuffs it
will make for lower prices.
The Southern Wholesale Grocers
Association, J. H. McLaurin, presi-
dent, has gone on record in favor of
the Kenyon Bill. The investiga-
tions of the Bureau of Research and
Publicity of the Southern Associa-
ton have proved that the big meat
packers are receiving special trans
portation privileges, by means of
which they are Strengthening their
monopoly Of food products. The
meat packers have their own private
refrigerator cars, which are given a
specially expedited service by the
railways, designed to facilitate the
transportation of fresh meat. The
packers have, however, been load
ing their refrigerator cars with large
quantities of grocery products which
do not require refrigeration, and in
this way are able to best the grocers
N competition.
The Kenyon Bill would have the
railways supply all necessary equip
ment, and would not put the packers
private cars on a common carrier
basis. This would increase the rail-
way equipment available for the use
Of the general public, and prevent
the waste Of private refrigerator
cars which exists at present.
The Kenyon Bill provides for reg
ulation only. 1t does not look to-
ward Government ownership and
operation. The bill is limited in its
application to the meat packers, who
have been proved by the Government
investigations to have great and
growing monopoly 1t has become
necessary either to- destroy this mo-
nopoly or to regulate it. Under the
the conservative thing
to do is TO regulate the monopoly.
In this way. such efficiency as at may
have Will he retained, out it will be
assured that its power will not be
used against the public interest.
The big meat packers have been
conducting a sweeping propaganda in
opposition to the kenyon Bill and
other proposed regulations. They
assert that the bill would create a
precedent for general licensing
system. This assertion, however, is
not supported by anything in the
bill, AS it is limited to the meat
packers industries, and applies to
those industries only because they
have proved to be a monopoly. The
bill provides positive safeguards for
the rights of the packers by giving
them the right 20 appeal to the
courts before their licenses can be
revoked.
Licenses are subject TO revocation
only wnel the packers commit ac-
tions which are not in. accord with
the public welfare5---Bureau of Re
