 The first question submitted, and which was answered. completing the spoch-making event, carried an in- nuendo known only to the reporter, who sought to determine the ap- proximate time the expedition will return to Wiscaset, Me-, from which point the expedition took its final leave. His reference to the worlds series nearly hit the date. The ex- petition planned 10 return under its schedule during September and the worlds series usually is In October
 The delay thus intimated by Me- Donald led the group of IS witness ing the test to believe that the three planes aboard the ship may not be able to depart for their flight north until later than planned.
 New Test Tomorrow
 The original plan set for the test early today was to complete tee- phonic conversation with members of the expedition, but soon after communication was established Me- Donald told of q heavy snowstorm which was accompanied by a gale sufficient to cause heavy drift. The antennae of his set was weighted and clogged. thus establishing a weather hazard which he hopes to overcome In another attempt We'd nesday night.
 In a personal message to c. l. Marks, treasurer of the Zenith Radio corporation, Lieutenant Commander Mcdonald said he shot his first polar bear last week in his first big game hunting trip.
 Other questions were submitted, but answers were delayed by the broadcasting being observed by the Zenith corporation. Some official business was transacted with the navy department, the code signals of the great lakes station being clearly heard.
 The answers to these questions, Lieutenant Commander Mcdonald said, would be dispatched some time today and tonight. They are varied and some meaningless, sent with a view of puzzling and entertaining those aboard the Peary and in the hopes of treating them to 8 laugh, not often enjoyed in the Arctic waters.

TRAIN CAN TRAVEL 100
MILES WITHOUT ENGINE
Peru Has the Highest Elevated Rail
road in the World.

The highest elevated railroad in the
world is in Peru, extending for dis
lance OF 40 miles from Callac to
Aroya, on the eastern slope of the
Andes. In about 100 miles it rises from
sea level to 1905 feet, just few hun
dred feet lower than Mt. Blanc, in
Switzerland. Building of the line be-
gan in 1870 and was regarded as one
of the greatest engineering tasks the
world has ever known
While the actual distance between
the terminals is only so miles, unavoid-
able turnings and zigzags called for
a road nearly double that length. In
places the tracks run through galleries
which have been cut in the face of
precipes by men lowered in boat
SWANS chairs. The railroad energies
from tunnels right on to bridges, sup
ported on piers more than 200 feet
high, and then disappears again in
other tunnels. 1t is the only line in
the world down which the train may
run 100 miles without the help of a
locomotive
