When the > <fin»l account of the explorations of Ivilhjalmur Stefannson is given it Is „ likely that it will show that he has , j, ipone far in solving that great Md- * idle of the polar floes as to whether or not there exists a vast continent, or *. ®t least an extensive archipelago as yet uncharted by man, hidden In the blind spot of the world. The news which came by way of . Fort Yukon, Alaska, brought there by trader who bad seen the sturdy . scientist at Herschel island, records ' w further achievements of the Canadian : i Arctic expedition, of which he is the commander. The only polar explorer of note on the western side, Vilhjal- ' mur Stefansson comes to the fore even these days of war and upheaval, " for his conquest of nature and cir­ cumstance, aside from the important . results which have attended it, mark him as one of the most remarkable men of the age. | Stefansson is of the blood of the North. His father was a native of Iceland, although the explorer himself was born at Armes, Manitoba, tlilrty- vr|: •'tght years ago. Tthe University of |; North Dakota and Harvard equipped him in science, but the iron will and the stalwart constitution went back to ~f% the Icelandic forbears. 9 It was in 1904 that he went to Ice- , land on research work for his alma mater at Cambridge, but it was not f, > until ten years ago that Stefansson be- ckme an important factor in Arctic ^ work. Since that time he has labored •V almost without ceasing. Once he came out of the North, wrote a book and was i;. back again in the boreal fastnesses be- T fore he had even .read the proofs of hU rather hastily written volume. It was In time of respite from his fp mission beneath the North star that he told ns much of the strange Eskl- » v<. tnos whom he had found, a race blue- ; eyed, red-bearded and often fair and 1. rudy of skin, which had never seen -f the men of the white race nor heard of such. They might have been descended .from that ancient Icelandic colony es­ tablished by Leif Erlcson, which is supposed to have been driven by pi- i rates into the realms of the North. Be­ tween the blond Eskimos and Stefans ; eon there sprang up a sense of kin- i «hlp and from them he learned many • secrets of life in the Arctic which were to stand hlmingood stead In hto re­ searches. . The young explorer's work at Cape ; Parry and later in the neighborhood of Coronation gulf made a name for him in science and justified the expenses borne by such institutions as the American Museum of Natural History, the National Geographic society and the uhiversities. The fact that in 1913 the Canadian government decided to finance his further explorations in the North, with a view of finding new lands and obtaining other important results, gave to Stefansson a new role and a new mission. He became a sub­ ject of Great Britain and left Victoria empowered to raise the flag of a new sovereign over new lands. Canada claims jurisdiction oyer all •v the territory which may lie north ot her borders ̂ Take down the map of the Arctic regions and note that north of Alaska and of the Canadian bor­ ders there is a; vast area, bald and white on the map, a region unex- - plored. Here and there is a scant In­ dication of lands locked in this un­ charted expanse. There are a few islands around the margin of it, but here after centuries of polar explora tion and after hundreds of brave men have lost their lives in bootless quests, there is little known about an area which must contain at least half a mil lion square miles. Science has held for marfy years that there is beyond the paleocrystic floes a great land mass. The tidal ob­ servations indicate very strongly that side scarcely any tide enters the Arc­ tic ocean. Two tidal streams make their way into it from the Atlantic. One proceeds by way of Baffin bay and frets itself out in the narrow *»hannoii« of the Arctic archipelago. The second stream, which may be traced and studied north of Alaska, does not, according to all observations, cross the North pole but sweeps along the coasts of Siberia. There is then a great obstruction of some kind, an Immovable body of enor­ mous area, not a shifting expanse of ice, and that may be solid land. So such authorities as Dr. R. A. Harris of the United States coast and geo­ detic survey have long believed, and have sought to establish by ingenious , demonstrations. As long ago as 1906 Bear Admiral Robert E. Peary, On his dash to the North pole, scanned the horizon to the north an<f northwest of Cape Thomas Hubbard and believed that he saw •'< land of great exteht, a vast island," a ,4-4; continent, mayhap, which in deference a, to one who had financed his expedi- tlons, he then and there called Crocker 'kM, Land.

Black Masses Show New Land Black Line the Explorer's Route. Discovered and the Solid unfulfilled vision of the mighty North. This much, of course, Stefansson knew before- he started on his own quest as a conquistador of the pole. It was his belief that one day he would not only set foot on the Crocker Land which Rear Admiral Peary be­ lieved he had seen, but also find reaches of territory in what many had believed to be an Impenetrable sea. He set forth from Teller, Alaska, on June 27, 1913, with a well equipped expedition In the steamship Karluk, prepared to do at least three years of work beyond the Arctic circle. The Karluk was Caught In floes 20 miles from the mouth of the Colville river. It was at this point that Stefansson, 6ccomf»nled by live men, landed for the purpose 0$ hunting cftribdu and other game. The floe In which the Karluk wis embedded was torn from the shore by a heavy gale In which Stefansson and his party of hunters nearly lost their lives. After a hopeless drift of four months the Karluk was crushed in the ice- off Herald island on January II, 1914. There had been time to remove most of the supplies to tlte ice. The company of the Karluk which re­ mained was divided into two compa­ nies. Eleven of the number In all lost their lives. The others succeeded In reaching Herald Island and also Wrangell Island. Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, of Peary North pole fame, accompanied by an Eskimo, made a dash to the mainland and the follow­ ing September brought the King and Wings to the rescue.. f Stefansson,' unaware of the tragedy in his wake, proceeded on his way after he had learned that the Karluk had drifted beyond bis reach. iThe daring trip which he made to the north from Martin's Point demon­ strated his self-confidence and hardi­ hood. With two companions, Storkeh- sen and Ole Andresen, he pressed on to try his fate with the floes. The en­ tire resources of the party consisted of one sled and a dog team with which they were conveying 1,300 pounds of supplies and baggage, two rifles aljd 300 rounds of ammunition. Stefansson literally put his theoty of life to the proof, for he and his t$- lowers became Eskimo, dressed as such and subsisted for the most part on the meats which make that race so ivuiBu <i*ci oily. ythEr.jcspiorsni, bc= customed to the many needs of civili­ zation, have always looked forward with anxiety to the idea that they might have to subsist on such primi­ tive fare, but Stefansson and his two comrades welcomed the novel subsist­ ence methods in their unbroken jour­ ney of 700 miles. Proceeding to the north and north­ west from Prince Patrick Island, Stef­ ansson discovered his first hew land on June 15, 1915, In 78 degrees north latitude and 114 degrees west longi­ tude. He surveyed this new territory to the eastward for 100 miles, and from observations made at a height of 2,000- feet estimated at that time that the- newly discovered territory extended for at least 150 miles. It ap­ parently touches the periphery of the area marked unknown. The party returned to a base camp at Cape Kellett on Banks Land and, after having communicated its discov­ ery to the outside world, prepared to push its explorations further into the unknown realms of the North. More land was discovered, according to the latest advices. In June of the following year in approximately 80 de- grees north latitude and 102 degrees west longitude. In August of the same year additional land was seen in ap­ proximately latitude 77 degrees north and 117 degrees west longitude. These figures are'only approximate and do not take into account the outline of the lands as they are likely soon to be set forth in the official records of the Canadian government. That there is a large land mass or a conglomeration of many islands in the unmapped regions which have beeu the objective of Mr. Stefansson all these years there can be little doubt. If there were not solid and well an­ chored terra flrma In those regions the scientists believe that' the enormous glutting and choking of the straits and the channels of the Arctic could hardly occur. The drift of various vessels Indi­ cates that there are impenetrable tracts of large area In the so-called un­ explored region. EH*. Herbert J. Spin- den in the Scientific American not long ago discussed the extent of the uncharted polar basin as indicated by the drift of the vessels of explorers. "The track of the Karluk," he wrote, "practically completes the drift record from Point Barrow, In Alaska, to Spitzenbcrg N€?»*w*v-. XMAS TREE CUSTOM HAD ITS ORIGIN IN NEW YORK Tor* . 'i •v ' * WV h The custom of placing an evergreen tree In the home on Christmas eve to be decorated and hung with gifts is Of course a yuletlde rite of ancient stand­ ing, but in its modern form as prac­ ticed in the United States it is com­ paratively young and had Its origin In New York. Mark Carr- Is the man who intro­ duced the Chrls'tnias tree to New York city as New York knows it now. He was a Catskill woodsman. He had traveled a bit and was acquainted with the Christmas customs of various countries. He thus came to See the possibilities of the etergreens of the Catskills. The more thought he gave to the little trees the more confident lie was that they would make a fine Christ­ mas decoration* He -decided ̂ to try northwest; Kb, It-far not snow or cold that gets the goat of the sourdough; it is the wind. Commencing anywhere from the first of September to the mid­ dle of November and continuing until the middle of April, the wintry breezes blow as they list, springing up without the slightest provocation and blowing steadily for days or weeks. Practically every town on the Alaa- kan coast hat its own particular wind, called by various names and, of course, not quite so strong .nor does It la,st as long ; af the winds atgirfing - them and came to New York before Christmas in 1851 with a lot of the evergreens. He took up his stand in St. Mark's place, which was then more or less of a shopping center. He decorated one of the trees with ribbons and tinsel and sparklers and other things until It was a-riot of color. The sight Immediately struck the fancy of the ladles of the Stuyve- sant section and lower Second avenue, which were then vastly different from what they are now. Two hours after he had placed his trees on display he had sold out his cargo- and was speed­ ing back to the Catskills as rapidly as conveyances could take him. He returned the day before Christ­ mas with a larger load and found New York waiting for him and his trees. He sold them all before they had been ing towns. Nevertheless, it is the wind which -makes winter life miser­ able for the Alaskan wherever he re­ sides. And it Is these winds which cause the migration of Alaskans to the states every fall. Cold Is not a factor in this annual pilgrimage to the outside. Any­ body can dress to keep warm even with the temperature at GO or 70 de­ grees below zero, but one cannot dress to keep out the perpetual whistling and shrieking of the wind, and so those two-thirds of the circuit around the pole. It ends at almost the same place where the drift of the Jeannette began, and this vessel in turn sank not far from the beginning point of the Fram's long voyage in the grip of the floe. "All drifted toward the west, bnt the Fram made more to the north than the others did. These certified tracts block a vast area capable of holding a continent the size of Green­ land or extensive archipelagoes. "Contrary to some published reports, the new land north of Siberia found by Commander Wilkltzky of the Rus­ sian navy cannot possibly be part of this supposed land mass. The Fram drifted in between this new land (Nicholas II Land) and the pole, passing over an area of deep ocean soundings. The De Long Islands, near which the Jeannette sank, and the 111 defined mass of Bennett Land, may mark the extreme extension toward the west of the supposed land of the Arctic ocean." As the work of exploration carried on by Mr. Stefansson is official in character, there Is every reason to be­ lieve that after the dose of the Euro­ pean war Canada will devote exten­ sive resources to farther exploration based on what he has plready ascer­ tained. Although the lignite deposits which Stefansson reports finding are not considered of commercial Importance at present, it may be that the re­ searches of the explorer will open up a new region for development. His me­ teorological and tidal observations are bound to be of great service to navi­ gators. . The ethnological investigations which Stefansson's ready sympathies and keen insight into life have enabled him to make are likely to prove of exceptional value to science. He was the first to grasp the spiritual ideas and concepts of the Eskimos and to explain their peculiar beliefs concern­ ing the migration of souls. Taken all in all, if Vilhjalmnr Stef­ ansson returns to civilization In the spring of 1918, as he planned to do, he will have a mass of Important in­ formation of all kinds to collate and arrange, of which the geographical re­ sults will form an Important part, as they may well lead to the lifting of the veil of time from the secrets of an ice- J«nd, in the city three hours and for prices which would compare favorable with those of today. This was the real start of Christmas trees in New York. Roast Armadillo. The distress of war has caused us to eat many strange things.

According to the San Antonio Light, the first wagon load of armadillos arrived on last Sat­ urday at the Texan city and was imme­ diately sold to ultimate consumers who found the meat of the armadillo, which suggests food about as much as does a British tank, to be greatly like pork and entirely edible.
