GIGANTIC wireless plant
plant situated In- tho Arc
tic, with peaks of lorty
mountains of lco serving
as wireless poles, anil
power sufficient to send
messages crackling out
for 2,000 mlea until they
can be picked up by oth
er stations and relayed to
Now York city. That la
ono of the new features
of the Donald B. MacMU
lan expedition, which will
IcaVO this cltv thin mnntVi
In search of Crockerland, the unex
plored continent In tho Polar Sea,
which Peafy saw through powerful
field glasses and named In 1900.
By, means of the giant wireless,
members of the expedition, which will
spend threo years exploring and map
ping the land which Peary observed
far to the northwest of Canada, expect
to be able to report dally progress or
tho work to New York city to be
able to "talk" to tho Museum of Nat
ural History, father of tho quest, and
to their families and friends during
tno long absence in tho Arctic wastes.
The wireless calls sent out from ex
pedition headquarters in Flagler Bay,
Eilesmere Land, will bo picked up by
tho big Canadian government station
at Wostenholmo Island, 1,100 miles
distant in Hudson Strait, and thence
will bo relayed via Port Nelson and
other stations to New York.
In addition to tho huge wireless
- plant which will be established to con
nect the Arctic with the United States,
sledges used by members of tho ex
pedition in exploring the Polar wastes
will be equipped with portable wire
less outfits that at any time can be
set up and communication established
""With the main station at headquarters
on Flagler Bay. In this way, scouting
parties and the sledges that make
the dash across the frozen sea for
Crockerland will aiways be within
"talking" distance with the base or
supplies.
Had Captain Vcott, the Ill-fated Eng
lish Antarctic Mnlnrnr. lippn pnnlnnntl
with such portable wireless and a big
receiving station at his base of sup
plies, he could jave sent ior aid when
he and his haolc companions were
, trapped in a blizzard on the great loo
s barrier.
In addition to tho wireless, Mr. Mac
Mlllan, who gained distinction with
Admiral Peary n the successful quest
of the North loIe, has several other
innovations 1q ytrctlc work he will put
Into operation on his Crockerland
search.
He hopes to grow fresh vegetables
In hothouses by tho aid of burning
glasses which will bo brought to focus
on the sheltered plants during the
summer season when the sun Is vis
ible. Scurvy Is quo ov the chief enemies
he expects to encounter, and ho hopes
that, if he is successful in raising
fresh vegetables during the period
while the sun la up, he will be able to
hold at bay this grim-visaged specter
of tho doep Arctic silences.
Then, too, ha may take with him a
Great South Way scooter, thu first
of her genu to invade the Arctic
Circle. The scooter Is an amphibious
craft, native qf the Great South Bay
of Long Island. She Is built like a
boat, but eaujpped with runners on
the bottom, Slid goes as wejl on tho
water as on Ice. On smooth lco tbfi
scootor sails at tho speed of sixty
miles an hour, and In the water at
the speed of regulation sail boat.
The trip MacMlllau and bIx com
rades w)ll make Is believed to bo
one of the most perilous that could
havo been selected. The safety of tho
expedition Appends wholly upon the
consistency of the winter ice In the
Polar Sea, and those who have spent
much of th&lr lives In tho far north
have learned that Polar Sea lco is an
uncertain quantity on which to pin
life.
Briefly, tie plan of the expedition
ta to leave New York on July 2 or 3,
to push nurth, with soveral stops for
the last supplies, until Cape York,
Greenland, Is reached about August 1.
From there tho party will proceed to
Flagler Day, Eilesmere Land, where
the headquarters camp will bo built.
Tho ship, probably Peary's famous
vessel, tho Roosevelt, which Mr. Mac
Mlllan is now negotiating for, will
return to New York and tho Bevon
i members of the exploring party will
sot about preparing for tho long, dark
winter.
Somo df tho party will then push
north through the mountains of Eiles
mere Land into Eureka Sound, and
through Nansen Strait to Cape

"A sailor's life's tho life for me," Sir Thom'as quoth In tones of glee,
and while tho spirit waxed rod-hot ho bought himself a sailing yacht. It was
not spacious as to docks and those aboard oft risked their neckB whllo hop
ping 'round with frantic flings to dodge tho flying Jibs and things. Its cabin
had no room to boast, It would havo squeezed a skinny ghost. Tho sea cook
sprained a rolling pin whllo rolling pancakes vory thin. But up abovo there

sky, not even signaling "good-by." Tho sails that In tho wind did flop were
bigger than a circus "top," and when they caught a lively breeze thoy beat
a railroad train with easo. Sir Thomas all his hopes soon sunk by battling
for a piece of Junk, a "prizo cup" Undo Snm possessed; to loso It he'd felt
no distress. Although defeated in tho raco, Sir Thomas boro It with good

"Our wireless will present an In

that wo use tho lofty pealta of Ice

Our great danger lies In being caught

May 1 or we will not be able to get

"Suppose," Mr. MncMlllan was
asked, "you should get caught by an
early breaking of tho lco?"
"I think there is game thero," ho
answered simply. "There may not
