 MT. Transehe classifies the frig- i'd blanket of the Arctic ocean into three groups: fast-ice, pack ice and the Arctic pack. The latter is the great mass Of )'d and solid ice, occupying about 10 percent of the Arctic sea area and drifting more or less in q definite direction. Fast-ice is hor izontally immoblle young ice at tached to the shore, while pack ice, lying between the other two groups, consists of movable rem nants of broken fastice and oi ice newly formed among these fragments. In summer, MT Tran sehe points out, all movable float ing ice between the coast and the Arctic pack is pack ice.
 "The largest areas of the pack ice he says, "are called ice fields. They are of such extent that their limits cannot be seea from ships masthead. They ill turn are broken into ice floes- areas that range in size from onethird of a nautical nile. ia diameter to the dimensions of an ice fl.,d. The further breaking up of floes forms glaeoas, areas ranging ia size from a cake a5ous two or three feet in diameter to foe itself.
 "In the pack ice only unde
 conditions of calm weather and low temperature of air does tic ice finally get so strong that fl solidly cements together the sep arate pieces into more extensive and stable areas. Up 10 May the ice increases in thickness until it attains slightly more than six feet on the average.

the Maryland sheltered President
Elect Herbert Hoover today as he
sought a cool spot to prepare his
Latin American speeches.
The entire party was getting its
first taste of the tropical sun as heat
hung oppreSsively about the big
battleship.
The rollers in the printing shop
melted in the heat and publication
of the ship newspapers was held up
until the rollers were hardened
again in the refrigerators. Hard
hearted sailors of the Maryland's
crew said, concerning the heat:
"You amt seen nothing yet"
Thursday night, deck cots were
distributed to members Of the
Hoover party and everyone slept on
deck-the heat below was intense.
Rugged and mountainous, the
coast of Mexico was visible most of
the day, and Mrs. Hoover who sat
knitting on deck, often went to the
ships side and scanned the barren
mountain ranges, eXclaiming over
the beauty of some Snow-capped
peak rearing itself miles behind the
coast ranges. Now and then a lonely
boat was visible.
Mrs. Hoover was an amused spec
tator at deck golf games which were
played throughout the day by
many of the party, and she APP
plauded vigorously the skill of Am
bassador Henry P. Fletcher, who
joined in the play.
Hoover had completed some of his
