iand evidently e<ta:lished friendly r'elations witil
'ni'le :Siin. "\\'We want to find out what is in
the Arctli circle." he said there. "It is believed
that the informantiion which may he olbtainel from
a thoroullh ilnspection of the territory around the
pole will be of val'ie to scIence."
"I am going to retire from the exploring husi
ness when this trip is flnislled." lie said. "I have
been engaged in Imaking explorations ever since I
was twenty-one years of 1, and I think it is about
time to rest a little bit. The life is a very hard
one and makes great demands upon strength and
vitality. At any rate, I have been at it for a
good many years and I have had about enough."
Jules Verne has nothing on Itoald Amundsen,
as the Norwegian outlinies his plans for exploring
the roof of the world. His expedition will not be
like those which have preceded It. Its vision
will not be confined to ai few minles on either side

S:i'eflnssonl. the~ faiumous I' nadiain explolrrer, is also
headeil for the Arctic. ('apt. ('. D. l'edersen. the
"L.one Wllf of the Arctic," skipper of the whaler
i,'rrnmnn, thinks there's something doing beside
science in these two expeditions. Captrain Peder
sen was In San Francisco just before Amundsenp's
departure from Seattle. lie said he was anxious
to sail, so its to get a ring-side seat under the
aurornt ),orealls. From that vantage point he
.ants to watch what he says is history's great
st internation:al muirathon across the top of the
world, in w'hich the untold riches of the north
land will reward the victor.
i'rlnclllis in the international race to the pole
will he Itonld Ammndulsn, discoverer of the South
Pole, who'll repriesent Norway, and VilhJalhnur
Stefansson, who'll carry the flag of trent Britain.
They'll start as soun as the ice wiill let thesm
Amnundsen from Seattle with a ship equipped with
airplanes and radii,. Stief:insson fromir Wr:angel
Island with the old-fashioned equipment of dog
sled.
The two explorers tell the world they'll shut
themselves off from civilization uand risk their
lives in Arctic ehepacks for the glory of discovery
and scientific achievement.
But "Wolf" Pedersen says there's more than
that in the expedition, Hie sees a race for vast
treasures hidden behind the ice barriers.
He says the explorers are seeking for Norway
and England great radium mines, vast oil fields
and coal deposits, fossil Ivory, diamonds, areas
of fertile land where reindeer thrive.
"I cannot believe." l'edersen says, "that Eng
land and Norway have gone to this great expense
purely for exploration purposes,
"For I myself have seen oil ooze from the
ground and form a lake near Point iuarrow-oil
so pure that natives burn it in lamps without
refining:

ously. One says: "You cannot have
truth and slavery together. While
women were kept in subjection you
could not expect them to be wholly
truthful. Now that they are men's
equals they are free to tell the truth."

Pedersen may he right or he may he wrong.

anssion has refu*ed to divulge the purlpose of this
year's expedition he did say this:
"The development land colonization of the
Northland will surely begin with the present gen
eriation. The mystery woven around the north
hItas resulted fenlm misinfornmatiotn. Theories that
it is uninbnhitqhle have been forever rejected, for
it halos hbee proved that fuel and food exist in

"Since the true condlltins In the north have
been realized colonization and contllllercinl ex

1T SEEMS probable that cancer, one
of the most deadly of the enemies
of mankind, will soon be conquered by
the use of radium.
Since the beginning of time this ele
ment has existed in nature. For the
last score or more of years the pres
ence of some unseen but powerful
force has been suspected. Sclentists
sought to discover what it was. but
sought in vain, till a quiet little Polish
woman, after years of laborious exper
imnent, discovered it.
That a woman should have made
this discovery-one of the most notable .
in all history-Is highly important.
