ARCTIC seen AS
GREAT FUTURE
PLANE HIGHWAY
Flights Across Top O. World
Much Better Than Over
Atlantic Ocean.
Bu Times Special

BU Times Special
NEW YORK, oct. THAT the
Arctic rather than the Atlantic is
the great aerial highway of the fu-
ture is the view expressed by VIII
jalmur Stefansson, noted arctic ex-
plorer.
He calls attention to the fact that
recent transatlantic flights, cou-
pied with arctic flights of year
ago, have conclusively demonstrated
the fact that flying conditions are
much better across the top of the
world than through the temperate
zones.
1T Is never as cold one thousand
feet above the Arctic sea-ice as it
sometimes is in certain towns in the
United States" he writes in the Oc-
tober issue of Harper's Magazine
Gold, as such, is no handicap to
airplaneS, for passengers and pilots
will be in compartments heated
from the exhaust.
Gold will be a great advantage
for airShips, for the lifting power
of the gas bag increases when the
temperature Of the air drops. The
coolest weather of the Byrd north
pole trip was 10 degrees warmer
than the coolest temperature re-
corded for New York City.
1.-THE Atlantic is far wider than
the arctic, and in that sense more
difficult to hop over The Pacific
is wider still. Furthermore, there
are more islands in the Arctic than
in any other ocean, and these will
eventually be used as way stations.
'At first the trans-arctic routes
doubtless will be flown by airship,
chiefly, for they can already reach
Pekin from New York easily with
out landing, ard there will soon be
others built that can make the
round trip without taking supplies.
But providing short-iump air
stations for planes on the direct
route would not be difficult so far
as freight transportation is con-
cerned. With a globe before you,
put dot on every place you think
there should be relay (say every
five hundred miles; you can ar
range in New York with common
carrier which will take goods or
fuel to every one of your dots for
regular freight tariff already in
force.
You should fly north to save half
the distance, to avoid land fogs,
sea fogs and wide jumps over
water.
That airway runs from New
York over Montreal. thence north
over the fiat land west of Hudson
Bay, across the Arctic Sea where
1t is narrow and studded with
islands, and across the mountain
less lowland of eastern Siberia and
China, arriving in Pekin from the
north.
And so with many other routes
and many important cities that lie
comparatively near to each other
across the Arctice, although the GUS
tomary east and west routes make
them remote"
