GEOGRAPHY Is A
WIDELY READ FICTION

Cleveland. Ohio, March 25.-The
school geography is the most widely
read bit of fictfon in the United States,
VII II. Jalmur Stefanson. arctic explorer
declared in an address here yesterday
in which he expressed the fact that the
frozen north was largely a myth.
THE geography informs you that
there is practically no life north of the
arctic circle, that there is nothing but
barren state of snow and ice," Mr..
Stefanson said.
He said that the north possessed un-
told economic possibilities. Reindeer
could be raised, he asserted and predict
ed 20 years hence reindeer meat would
be selling through the United States
on a par with beef and in so years it
would have supplanted beef entirely.
Mr.. Stefanson said $50 specimens of
vegetation had been found on Banks Is.
land, 400 miles north of the arctic cir
Gle, and 750 specimens had been counted
on the north coast of Alaska.
He admitted the southern part OF
Is iCt-tOdltu, Dul OtCldTtu
that due to the mountainous topography
North of Greenland, he said, Peary had
found grassy meadows teeming with
all sorts of animal life and great herds
of grazing animals
The coolest temperature 200 miles
north of the Arctic circle is "a de-
grees below zero, he added, while the
coldest ever reported in the United
States was 6S below at Havre, Montana
