LECTURER COMMENDS
SPIRIT OF EXPLORERS
Albert H. Bumstead, Inventor of
Sun Compass, Tells Of Co.
operation by Byrd.

The spirit Of cooperation that ami
mated the rival polar explorers was
illustrated last night in an address at
the National Press Club on the Byrd
and Amundsen expeditions, by Albert
Fl. Bumstead. chief photographer Of
the National Geographic Society.
Mr.. Bumstead, who is the inventor
Of the sun compass, pointed out that
Byrd used this new instrument on his
polar fight and Immediately on his
return loaned 1t to Amundsen in order
that the rival Norge and its crew
might be the first air expedition to
cross from Europe to the North
American continent across the top OF
the world.
The magnetic compass invented by
the Chinese centuries ago and in use
today by sea navigators is useless for
aerial navigation. particularly near the
poles. The magnetic compass, accord
ing to the speaker, functions salts
factorily only when kept level. This
is also impossible in aircraft.
Mr.. Bumstead, in describing the sun
compass, explained that at the North
Pole the sun circles the sky regularly
once in "a hours all Summer. A watch
can be made with a single hand and
regulated to move that hand around
it's dial at the rate Of once in "a hours.
Such a watch can be laid fiat at the
Pole with the noon mark of its dial
pointed toward Kings Bay and with
the hour hand pointed toward the sun.
The hand follows the sun around the
sky 50 long as the noon mark was
kept pointed toward Kings Bay. And
conversely SO long as the hand was
pointed toward the sun the noon mark
would be pointed toward Kings Bay,
thus locating direction.
The talk was supplemented by mo-
ton pictures Of the actual departure
and return of the Byrd fight and the
preparations and departure of the
Amundsen expedition.

GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dlspatcn a. T. wIrel

CHICAGO, July 10.--Wheat went low
er in price here today, influenced by
rains and cooler temperatures north
west and by laggard action of the
Liverpool market The government
crop report received after dealings
were at an end proved to be about as
generally had been looked. for regard
ing wheat, but decidedly bullish as to
corn. Chicago closing quotations on
wheat were easy at &c to 1c net de-
cline, with corn Nc to nc down, and
provisions varying from 15c drop to a
rise of cents.
notwithstanding better weather con-
ditions in the spring wheat states, crop
reports from there were pessimistic, as
a rule, with tendency shown to re-
duce estimates of yield. However, ex-
port demand appeared slow, re-sellers
figures being under the asking level
for the first-hand offers. Besides,
doubt that black rust will be big
factor was plainly more widespread
Special notice was taken of assertions
that there has been no surplus mois-
ture northwest all season, and that the
stand of spring wheat, is generally
big, with the straw hard and woody
conditions opposed to rust.
Prospects for good wheat crop in
Canada received particular attention on
account of word that the Canadian out
look is given as reason for British
unresponsiveness toward price upturns
on this side of the Atlantic. German
crop reports, though, were something
of an offset, German wheat and rye
both being mentioned as below aver
age. Meanwhile, the amount of do
mestic winter wheat sold for July ship
ment to Europe is unofficially totalled
at $4,000, 900 to 2O,O00,OOO bushels. Corn
and oats were easier, owing to good
rains, especially over Illinois. The gov
ernment crop report as to corn pfoduc-
tion is O7,000,O00 bushels below unof-
ficial estimates. Lard reflected an up
turn in hog values, but meats were in
clined to sag.
