Not the least of the interest in this latest project of the gallant Virginian is its significance as a connecting link between Antarctic and Arctic exploration. The first man to reach the South pole was Itoald Aniundsvn, the Norwegian explorer, wlio achieved the pnal in 1MU. Last year Mr. Amundsen was in the party which Hew a dirigible to the North pule soon after Commander had made bis epic dasli there by airplane. Now Commander Ityrd is going into the regions where Amundsen won his fame sort of repaying t lie visit, nf it were. Hut Commander Tiyrd's project Is to be more than just a dash to the South pole so that he can say that bo has flown "to the uttermost ends of t lie earth," both North and South. It is to be a scientific expedition which Is expected to open an unknown continent, twice the size of the United States, to the knowledge of mankind. The two explorers, Amundsen and Scott, who did reach the Pole found only a lifeless plain there. Several other explorers have skirted along the edge of the great Ice fields which surround the Antarctic continent and one" or two of them have penetrated it for some distance, only to lose their ships or to lie frozen in for nn Antarctic winter. So that today this great plateau, which has an altitude of 10,00() feet Is (he modern "unknown continent," and by crossing it from coast to coast In i wo directions, by visiting its center j.:.d its four corners Commander P.yrd h"p"s to discover some of its secrets.

"So far the discovery of animal life in the be- Antarctic has been confined to birds, fish, seals and a few species of microscopic organisms. Inland, where t he great plateaus stretch out to the pole, there Is nothing. The temperature, which even In summer gets down to 30 or 40 degrees below zero and which sinks far below that in winter, Is too extreme for animal life of any sort P.ecause of the extreme temperatures which Commander P.yrd mentions, as well as several other of that region, Antarctic exploration Is even more perilous than Arctic. Among these other factors are the blizzards of high velocity which sweep down from the plateau and these winds, laden with snow and fine particles of Ice, often reach a speed of 70 miles an hour. It was in one of these blizzards that the gallant Capt. liobert F. Scott lost hU life in that tragic retreat from the South pole In 1012 when he perished only eleven miles from his base and safety. The Antarctic has special because perils for the aviator-explore- r the wind conditions there are further complicated by numerous mountain ranges and lofty peaks, some of them as high ns l.'i.OOO feet, and two of them active volcanoes. In view of the perilous nature of this expedition, Commander P.yrd Is taking unusual precautions and make ing the most careful preparations setting out.

Talk With Your Face Nothing so clearly distinguishes the successful person as enthusiasm. many things that must be accomplished have made this Impossible. Commander Byrd has decided that no less than a year of forethought and attention to minute detail will be necessary to reduce the hazards of the trip. The general plan Is to sail first to New Zealand and from there to strike out for the ice pack on the border of Itoss sea. After penetrating this ice barrier he will set up his permanent base near Discovery harbor, where he will build his houses, assemble his plane and make a number of test flights. Two planes will be taken, one large three-moto- r ship, capable of lifting pounds and the other a small single-moto- r plane. Commander Byrd will load the smaller plane with six months' supplies of food and spare cans of oil and gasoline and fly 100 miles toward the South pole. If he finds conditions favorable he will land, set up a base, take observations and return to the home base for a second load. Then by a series of short flights he will set down a line of emergency bases to within 400 or 500 miles of the pole. From the last of these he will make the long flight to his goal, land if possible, and then return. If the trip to the pole is successful and winter has not closed in, Byrd will also make flights to the southeast and southwest somewhere at the foot of the great plateau. He will also skirt the coastline, flying over thousands and thousands of square miles never before seen by man. If all of his plans are successful, for the first time In history, the great Antarctic continent will at last be charted and mapped. Although the exploring will be done mainly by the two planes, it is interesting to note that equipment similar to that of previous explorers will also be taken along. On his polar flight Commander P.yrd will carry a sled, pemmican to last many months, sleeping bags, oil burners, skiis and , so that if lie is forced to land and abandon the plane he will he able to trek back over the plateau to the home base. It is for this reason also that the food supplies will be planted along the route to the pole. And these are only a few of the Innumerable details which must he thought of before the expedition sets out. In this polar expedition, perhaps the most important of modern times, the margin between success nnd failure will be very small. Nothing will be left to chance and if adequate preparation for every possible contingency counts for anything the expedition should be successful pud Commander P.yrd, the first to reach the North pole by air, will idso be the first to curry the Stars nnd Stripes to the oth'T end of the earth. snow-shoes- When a man Is so enthusiastic that his face lights up. his eyes shine, and his voice is vibrant, he compels attention and his words carry conviction.

Chemistry Known in India 2,000 Years Ago ChampUin X m - twin The scholars of India in the days of the Roman empire had evolved p. science of chemistry and knew of the existence of hydrogen and oxygen, according to discoveries announced by C. It. Kokatnur, a chemist, of 50 East Forty-firs- t street. According to Mr. Kokatnur's computations, the discovery of these elements In India antedated their discovery in the western world by about 2,000 years. Mr. Kokatnur evolved his theories from a Sixteenth century manuscript, which, In turn, was taken from writings coming down from before the Christian era. According to Mr. Kokatnur, a word which corresponds to the English word "chemistry" has been traced to these days, together with other nouns denoting various dyes, perfumes and fibers.
