KEPT FRESH IN icE
Body of Viking Is One Thousand
Years Old 4, s-. -.


..., Years Old ;.,, n-. q.
The body of a Viking ruler, 1000
years old, standing upright in huge
iceburg, has returned ito civilization
after drifting for at least ten centur-
les through the ice blocked seas in
the barren Arctic regions. Preserved
more perfectly than any body ever
uncovered in mystic Egypt, the giant
Norseman was discovered by Danish
doctors staring out at them from his
frozen winding sheet on the east coast
of Greenland.
The body of the Viking found by
the Danish men Of medicine lowered
seven feet tall 1t was clad in rude
ancient armor, gripping spear and
shield, with his head crowned with the
winged helmet OF Morse royalty.
Standing sternly in his transparent
tomb of ice, this warrior of another
day was an incredible phantom of
Morse lengendry.
Skin was White and Firm.
When the ice had been chopped
away from the giant body, the Viking
stood unrayaged by time. The skin
was white and firm instead of dried
and shrunken, and the head and. shin
was covered: with hair that was long
and red and silky.
A ship now Is bearing the body OF
the one time Viking king to Copen-
hagen, where skilled scientists win be
called to perpetuate, If possible, the
process Of preservation by the inJec-
ton OF, chemicals. The body will be
placed in the Copenhagen. museum If
a method can be found to preserve the
body as it was kept in the chilling en-
brace of the iceburg. Co..
Upon the discovery Of the Vikings
body an expedition was dispatched
from Copenhagen to Greenland to ex-
cavate the iceburg in which the age
old king was found. This expedition
has sent back word that seven other
bodies as untouched by. the years as
the first; have been dug from the mann
moth cake Of ice. ..-

public a report to the Board Of EST

It's next meeting veto q proposal Of
tho Transit Commission that certain
subway contract be modified so as to
enable the payment Of $4,000 Of re
tanned percentages 10 Booth & Finn
holders Of the contract.
"This,' said Comptroller Craig
amounts to proposal to make gilt
Of money TO the contractors, since it is
not authorized by the contract, and
since the work, which was to have been
completed within twenty-five months
from the date of contract, August 9
1916, has not been completed to date.
Booth & Finn have filed a claim
against the city for $474,000 damages
alleged for delays caused by the com
mission which the state has imposed
on the city, sometimes called the Pub
.ic Service Commission and sometimes
the Transit Commission, which has ex
elusive jurisdiction in the performance
