Rivers Run Up Hill; Ice Sinks; Ocean Is Hot—In Polar Regions Arctic Is Land of W ild Surprises. Declares Lieut. Command er Fitshugh Green of V. S. /V.—Says W ind Blows Up and Down and Ice Bends Like Rubber. By FITZHl’GH GREEN. I'nniiiutmler of l . S. X. Written Kxrlunivrly for tniveruil ismlcr. Washington, D“c. 5.—"It's a land of wild surprise!" exclaimed Sir Er nest Shackleton one evening when we were having a civilized dinner at the Lambs club. New York. Ke was specking of t la. Polar region* "Topey turvv land!" the Duke D'AbruezI quizzically called it after he had frozen off a perfectly good fnger and had lost a party of his best men in the howling blizzards of the Polar pack. Such is the top of the world of which we know so little. For there, some rivers run uphill, ice sinks or bends like rubber, and flows like liquid soap. The ocean Is hot. Eskimos bathe every night. Darkness is more agreeable than sun shine. Flowers bloom. Wind blows vertically—up and, down. And there is more food than people know what to do with. Sounds crazy, doesn't It? Yet these are some of the astonishing things about which each new Arctic expedition discovers for itself. After Mr. rtoosevelt's South Amer ican controversy, the writer hesitates to risk his reputation claiming to have seen not one but half a dozen rivers running straight uphill. But that is God's own truth. One Great Ice Sheet. Glacial risers they WPre. The in terior of Greenland is covered with one great glacial Ice sheet nearly 1(000 miles long and estimated to have a thickness of more than S.000 feet. Down the Idue white face of this vast natural frosting flood, my riad rivulets course when the July sun climbs high. In crevasses, the small streams join and grow to roar lug torrents. Volume and velocity soon increase to that of springtime fresh <ts, until frequently the river will not tolerate its riverbed. Aided by lhe pressure from behind It strug gles upward to high levels, flows up hill. in fact. Indeed, it Is not unusual to see almost a geyser spouting from the body of the glacier In midsum mer. Ice Milks. For Ice (o sink Is an equally inter esting phenomenon, but lees complex. Onre the proper combination of temperature and barometric pressure obtain, airy lump of lee will sink like solid roek. ‘‘Rubber lee,'' as It Is known. In sea lee that, owing to its salinity, has not frozen solid. Not until tbs theremometer Is down around 10 degrees fahrenhelt, does the ocean* surface harden. Itetween 10 and HO degree* fahrenhelt It forms an almost gelatinous mass that bends amaxingly before It breaks. That solid h e flow was known to men before, the age of fire cam* In. For with the oscillations of climate, idaelal Ice tongues moving slowly In and out determined the northern limits of the world’s habitability Right In Central park we can see on the rocks examples of the gouging action of Ice In liquid motion. Hraveyarri of Vessels. Muir Glacier, on the Alaskan coast, is one of our own matchless exhi bits of nature's grandeur. But it Is the innumerable rivers of ice that pour from the Greenland lee cap that marked the Arctic such a graveyard SI sturdy vessels. Over the crevasse* of the*e txnring icy monsters have struggled the ex plorers nt the past. Now from the air shall we chart and photograph the largest of them with no more danger than watching a boa con strictor In the zoo. To say that the Polar ocean la hot la really a bit of relativity. For If the Arctic traveler plunged In dur ing the hitler sunless night. he would he In hot water literally as well as figuratively. It'* this way.

Now. the temperature of the ocean, contrary to popular helief, never gets below 29 degrees fahrenheit. except at the very surface In contact with the air. Hence, when the unhappy ex plorer tumbles through a tide crack In January darkness with the spirit thermometer shriveled down to minus *5 degrees fahrenheit, the ac tual difference between the tempera ture of the body and that of the water Into the plunges is greater than the difference between the tempera ture of your fingers and tiiat of your bath. Sledging over sea Ire In midwinter by the light of the moon, I lmve" gianted ahead and seen nothing but Interminable level whiteness clear to the dim horizon. Ten minutes later just ahead will have appeared a* If by magic a solid wall of black. This wall is water vapor.

It Is a matter of personal observe tion borne out by the statement of trany men who have spent years north of the Arctic circle that the un ending glare of the sun In summer Is far more than the long winters' dark ness.

POWELL, Washington Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Washington, Dec, 15.—An appar ently Innocent little dinner to be given in New York In the middle of January may be of considerable mo ment In national politics and particu larly the politics In Nebraska. On that day William Jennings Bryan will respond to a toast en titled, "Watchman, What of the Night?" The dinner will Ire given by the Progressive Democratic club of New York. Congressman Edgar Howard of Co lumbus, who since his arrival In Washington has rapidly acquired the title of the former Nebraskan s right hand man, in'ends to be there. In fact, the Columbus congressman ex pects a number of Nebraska politi cians to attend the dinner. It Is highly probable that at that dinner William Jennings Bryan will issue his ultimatum to the democratic machine. In short, it is largely with in the realms of possibilities that at this dinner democracy will learn (he platforms the three tlmes candl date for president will demand If the democratic ticket shall receive his whole hearted support. Wide Discussion’ The questions to bo discussed at this dinner which Howard brands as important, are many and varied. They are: Will Bryan outline a policy for do mocracy that will fit the utterances of such men as Underwood, McAdoo and Ralston, candidates for the presi dential nomination? Or will Bryan cut the cloth so none of these gentlemen can wear the po lit'cal suit he demands? Will the measurements of the poli tical suit to be cut by William J. Bryan exactly fit tiro foi-m of hU brother. Gov. Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska? And could It be possible that "Brother Charlie" would step right out In meeting and tell the world he s the only one who can wear his brothers bit of tailoring? Or will William Jenninga Bryan arrange bis words so that It could be possible for almost any candidate to receive bis support If Charlie can be put on the ticket aa a vice presidential, candidate? In Lincoln months ago William Jennings Bryan asserted positively that hi would not support Gov. Al Smith of New York. He declined to discuss all other candidates, saying Ids attitude depended upon the plat form on which they stood. Ka*t-West Fusion. Since, the Coolidge-Capper Incident In South Dakota a few weeks sgo, the crying need of a similar eastern and western fusion on the demo cratic ticket has been discussed as siduously. And now while this need Is upper most In the minds of the democratic medicine mixers, William Jennings Bryan I’ to attempt to maneuver a dinner In New York, right at the door of Tammany hall. Again the uppermost question conus to the mini of political ob servers here: "Will William Jennings make the dinner Brother Charlie'* coming out party In national politics?" Another question, with a purely .Nebraska tinge to It. and asked by Nelirasl.a 'politicians Is. "Has Ivdgar Howard, who started this Brother Charlie presidential and vice presidential business, an Idea in bis clever head that If Brother Charlie gets into the national rare, he, Edgar, would get In the senatorial race In Nebraska?"
