Sir John Franklin's expedition of
1S45, for which a search of more than
twenty-five years was made. By the
time all hope for the missing men had

the groundwork of information fol

The British Government
£980,000
spent
in vain efforts to rescue
Franklin; the Hudson's Bay Company
financed a year's expedltiion; a quar
ter of a million dollars was expended
by private individuals in this coun
try. The whole world waited, year on
year, for news of the expedition, no
one of whose 134 members escaped
from the grip of the Arctic. Here was
the grimmest tragedy in the history
of exploration—a story of ships and
men crushed by the forces of nature.
S^pwly it became possible to piece
together the terrible chronicle of the
Arctic’s victory over the adventurers.
Eskimos told of seeing two ships
locked in the ice for years. One of
them sank and the other was driven
on the shore and broken up. Their
stronghold was gone and the men of
the Franklin expedition were left to
fight their way as best they could
out of the frozen wilderness. Their
bones were found in ship’s boats, In
tattered tents, on lonely peninsula.
Tales of the strange white men who
wandered over the vast fields of ice
passed from Eskimo to Eskimo. Dr.
John Rae, pressing into the Arctic in
1853, was told of a camp of horror
Where thirty bodies wore found and
the contents of the kettles spoke of
the last resort of the desperate.
Clues to Franklin.
Spoons, buttons, medals, watches —
mute relics of the expedition—were
in many an Eskimo hut. Sir John
Ross, leading a rescue party in his
own yacht, found three graves on
Beechey Island #and the first real
clues to the fate of Franklin’s men—
a camp site and 600 empty meat tins.
Henry Grinnell, a New York mer
chant, fitted out two expeditions and
shut them north to 'join the search.
Lady Franklin equipped five separate
parties.

On Oct. 25 the world joined France
in observing the centenary of the
birth of Marcelin°Berthelot, chemist,
philosopher and patriot. One of the
pioneers of modern thermo-chemistry,
agricultural chemistry and synthetic
chemistry, his discoveries gave the
evolution of science a new purpose
and direction.
Berthelot’s
extraordinary

stand to'his credit,, an indication of
his enormous industry and of a spirit
I encyclopedic in its scope. Many of
these are now classics in the litera
ture of chemistry. Despite the syn
theses that had been effected before
Berthelot's day, ’no less a chemist
than Berzelius despaired of assemb
ling molecules into organic com
pounds similar to those of nature.
"Organic” meant something intimate
ly associated with life, and between
the living organism and inert matter
a chasm yawned that science saw lit
tle hope of bridging, Berthelot’s bril
liant syntheses ofalcohols, organic
acids, benzene, ethylene, acetylene—
syntheses of the very atoms of which
organic nature was composed—start
led chemistry* with their new possi
bilities. If the chemist now wields a
power over matter that seems little
short of miraculous, it js partly be
cause of Berthelot’s work.
More than a mere experimenter,
Berthelot realized the vast potentiali
ties of his discoveries. “The domain
in which chemical synthesis exercises
its creative power is greater than
that of nature herself,” he said. As
he synthesized atoms, sd he synthe
sized his conception of life and the
universe' into a whole that saw in an
amoeba and in a star two manifesta
tions of tfite same matter.
Interests Diversified.
To the true research scientist, the
class to wfiich Berthelot-^belongs, a
discovery is but a key which will-un
lock a new door in the unexplored
house of science, ^an inspiration a3
well as an achievement. When he
synthesized formic acid the inertia of
his atoms struck him. At once his
inquisitiveness‘was aroused. Out of
the studies then begun came new dis
coveries and theories that gave ther
mo-chemistry a surer foundation.
While Crookes painted his ..gloomy
picture of a too fecund world starving
because of its inability to feed its
ever-increasing offspring, Berthelot
saw the possibilities of fixing atmos
pheric nitrogen and ’establishing a
huge fertilizer industry and making
two blades grow where buttons grew
before. His quick imagination even
conceived it possible to dispense with
agriculture and with the slaughter
house. Had he not himself succeeded
in building up organic compounds?
Might not some chemist of the future
produce food out of nothing but the
gases of the atmosphere? flfhus or
iginated the conception of "meal pel
lets,” since widely exploited.
The German invasion of 1870 re
vealed this extraordinary man in a
new light. Besieged Paris made him
President of the Scientific Committee
of National Defense. In that capacity
Jie tirelessly devoted himself to the
task of defeating the enemy, to plac
ing Paris in communication with the-.
outer world, and to conducting re
searches that laid the basis for the
discovery of smokeless powder and
the now accepted theory ol’ the action
of explosives. Although he had no
taste tor politics—the bickerings of
! the Chamber frankly bored him—he
' nevertheless served his country as
I Minister of Public Instruction and
; Minister of Foreign Affairs. When he
j celebrated his scientific, jubilee a
| medal was presented to him that
i bears on one face the inscription:
; Pour la Patrie et la Verite" In these
I simple words France fittingly sum-
med up a great investigator’s devo-
I tion to his native land and to science.

sudden and delicious chill. The blan

scattering great jagged pieces of ice.
The old plum-tree, which never bore,
lies prostrate, and the garden paths
are "carpeted with vine and mulberry
leaves,
When it is over, the whole earth,
with all upon it, lifts up its voice in
rejoicing. Hailstones are gathered in
buckets ,and wrapped in blankets to
ice butter and drinks for the morrow.
And oh, what a paradise the verandah
is on that evening after the storm!
The air is filled with the voices of
beasts and insects which have drunk
their fill. The curlews are walling in
the scrub, and.the swamp pheasant
makes his gurgling nolSe by the la
goon. There is a delicious sense of
moistness and refreshment in the at
mosphere. The verbena throws off
stronger perfume, and the datura at
the end of the verandah is oppres
sively odorous. I am lying in the
hammock. Near my feet is a Slab

ment
A problem for many steamship cap
tains Is that of, dealing with stow
aways. On one vessel on a recent
trip from New York to San Francisco
and return ■yjirteen stowaways were
unearthed. Eight were found on the
way to San Francisco and five more
on the return voyage.
Formerly the stoWaway was thrash
ed and put in irons. This custom
has been- ''dona away with, although
the irons are still used on occasions.
In most oases the stowaways' know
this when discovered they will be put
to work. All stowaways, after dis
covery, receive the same treatment.
They are taken to 'the bridge, where
they are 'searched. A _ records Is
made of the dlsc.ovefry—time, date,
place and- by whom. These facts are
entered in the ship’s log. Some of the
.men are signed on as regular sea
men ; others , work to pay their pas
sage; very rarely a stowaway is
found who has sufficient money to
pay for his transportation.
One of the captain's1 first- queries
■is whether the stowaway has a friend
in the crew. If so the seaman men

Baby Gorilla 15 (
“At Home”
A baby named Bamboo in
the star boardler in the Philadelphia
Zoo and a most notable emigrant from1
the African jungles. Since his ax’-1!
rival late in the Summer he has had
many distinguished visitors, among'
whom have been Raymond L. Ditapifsi'
of the New York Zoo, George Vier- '
heller of the St. Louis Zoo, Edward'
Bean of the Chicago Zoo and Dr. Wil
liam L. Mann of the National Zoo in
Washington. Professor R, M. Yerkes,
the Yale psychologist, is arranging a
visit and Professor J. H. McGregor
of Columbia University 'is coming to
“shoot” fiOO feqt of film for -use in
teaching -his clashes /The Evolution
of Man.”
Bamboo is not impressed with his
own . importance nor aroused to en
thusiasm by the ^attention that is'
showered upon him. Although he ap
pears to be a little more than a year
old, he is not a very uprightly young
ster, He does not “cut up” before
company, or show the delight in liv
ing that ought to be characteristic of
his age. He appears to take the busi
ness of life quite seriously and while
one may be mistaken, his heavy de
meanor seems to indicate the unhappi
ness of an expatriated ape.
The Philadelphia officials are very
anxious about his health. He cost
the Zoo $6,'C'OO, apd the purchase was
a gamble. There is very little data
that can be used as a guide in the
raising of a gorilla infant. Bamboo’s
diet is a constant experiment. His
human nurse was drinking buttermilk
when Bamboo was out of sorts, so he
■tried the liquid on the animal and
found that he liked it.
Now Bamboo gets a quart or but
termilk every day and thrives on
He takes a quart of
/shakes in-addition, the best salad' ii
tho market, an occasional egg, bo'ls'
rice, and now and then a pruno*'f
other delicacy which the keeper m- *
have in his pocket.
Bamboo eats about five times a
day, or whenever his nurse thinks ! <
is hungry. His nose is spread flat, : i
that his brilliant black ,eyee seem L
swim on the surface cf his face, mJ
their luminous, changing light make;

longipgd,. mood's and appetites'
The groilla, comes from that district
of Africa where Carl Akeley spent
his last days. Bamboo’s mcthei’ was
probably killed 'by the poisoned arrow
of a dwarf. Missionaries shipped the
baby to Henry Bartels of New York,
who says they received the animal as
a gift from a witch doctor and brought^
it down to the coast for transportation
to the United' States.
Bamboo has a companion to beguile
"him from dreaming too often of home.
Lizzie, ar gay two-year-old chimpanzee,
is his constant playmate. While she
rocks in his arms and rolls on the
floor like a child when the keeper
plays his fingers upon her ribs, Bam
boo, at the same gAnie, never permits
himself more than a grin.
The youngster has a jealous streak
and must be fondled as much as Lizzie
or he expresses his disapproval with
grunts and tries to displace her in
the keeper’s arms. Once when they
were romping on the grass another
female chimpanzee took a fancy to
Bamboo. Lizzie refused to counten
ance his flirting, but Bamboo cuffed
her out 4f the way.
* DEPENDENT ON KEEPER. -
He is very much the baby,-too, and
has grown so fond of James McCros
san, his foster parent, keeper and
nurse, that he is unhappy when he is
out of sight. Bamboo has become so
dependent upon McCrossan that the
keeper lids been with him every day
from 6 o’clock in the morning until
from .9 to, 11 o’clock at night^ever
since the gorilla arrived at the zoo.
Bamboo will not go to bed' unless the
keeper is there. When night falls and
McCrossan is present he shuffles off
to a corner with Lizzie, twirls a little
straw into a heap and lies down, pull
ing a blanket over himself.
/ The first toy Bamboo got was a “•
small wooden-handled bell. When it
rang as he struck the string from
which ft was hanging he raced around
trying to find the origin of the noise.
Now. that he has a dun idea whence
!be f-otind issue' his curi v>it> is not
so acute. A toy drum gave him a
thrill when he beat it, but it soon
came apart when, he tried to discover
the cause of the noise. His other tpys
are a small rubber ball and a rag
doll, which he handles as tiny chil
dren do, and he uses a hard rubber
bone as a te#,hing ring.
