The Exides taken by the Crocker land expedition went thru 4,000 miles of storms and on one occasion were shipwrecked, but never put out of commission.

To Furnish Wonders and Enjoyment of "Listening In" For Esquimau "W ' - • OJ 5 m • The wonders and enjoyment of "listening in" may be brought to the truests of Misses Leone and Kathleen I E^uimaux b? Capkun Amundsen, Givens'. j discoverer oi the South Foie, who to- Mr. and Mrs. William Gillespie of „ frozen north, where he will make an aerial survey of the North Pole. For this purposf an Exide battery of 56 cells has been included among his equipment which was loaded a few days ago on Amundsen's good ship Maude. This battery, according to information reaching W. L. Howell, manager of the local Exide service station, is to be used also for radio communication with Washington and is to furnish electric light during the three years Captain Amundsen expects to sojourn in the polar region. While it will not be possible to get any of the regularly broadcast concerts for the benefit of his Esquimaux neighbors, Captain Amundsen will however, be able to put them in touch with the nearest point, which will probably be Nome, Alaska. It is also probable that he may "broadcast" specimens of Esquimaux music which may be picked up by those within 2,000 miles, the radius of his transmitting apparatus. In addition, Captain Amundsen will keep in touch with Washington four times a day. His radio messages will be sent and received by relay from Nome to St Paul station on the Bering sea and thence to Washington. The " electric lights which Captain Amundsen will install upon his arrival at his destination will, however, no longer be a novelty for the Esquimaux, who already have been acquainted with this modern form of illumination. In 1914 the Crocker land expedition, headed by Captain Donald MacMillan, took a number of Exide batteries with them and for the first time in the history of the world the Aurora Borealis had a. rival in the form of electric illumination. A few months ago Captain MacMillan returned to the north and again took an electric lighting system, including Exides, with him.
