But this is a mistake. MacMillan was working all the time. Even when forced to stay near his main base at Etab, he kept'busy, very busy. That Is why, says MacMillan, he found the lost four years the shortest of liis life. Many times he went ,30 to 40 hours without sleep, pursuing his scientific studies. And lie had considerable time to devote to these studies, for actual exploring can only be done In three months out twelve. MacMillan Is eager to return to this bleak but' Interesting region of the north pole and will undoubtedly do so as soon ns he can find sufficient finan- ids own wife. Their way out of an unusual love jangle was to trade wives and husbands. Mrs. Jordan agreed to swap her bushnud to' Mrs. Turcotte in exchange for Mr. Turcotte with nothing to boot. The hufthnnds were willing enough to be traded. In fact, they were well along on a plan to trade wives with each other. So, instead of any killing or. unwritten-ladefenses or suits for alienation of affection, there evolved two unique matrimonial trades. The Jorduns and Turcotte agreed to get divorces. Divorce decrees were granted them at Boulder not Springs. Then the funner Mrs. Jordan became the new Mrs. Turcotte, and the former Mrs. Turcotte became the new Mrs. Jordan. The two couples stood up together ut the ceremony, and the friendliest relations exist between them. Now they are living again ns neighbors in all good fellowship. The ice man thus reported a sad incldeur Mondry nfternoon at police headqunrtcrs. Over in the alley that runs west from ' Fanner street, between Monroe avenue and Bates street n buttle continued wiili unalmted fury, as the war offices say. Somewhere down in the depth of the chop suey emporium an ammonia pipe on the refrigerating plant had sprung a leak. An ice wagon horse, left to an unkind fate, sneezed until his checkrein broke. His mates eyes flowed until little puddles bathed his The heartless driver poured hoofs. copious tears into a tall shell In the adjoining saloon. Except for. the weeping horses the alley was empty for over nn hour. Inspector James Sprout volunteered to cross, the street nnd direct the operations of relief, but one whiff from the alley sent him back to the highest step of the headquarters grand stairway. By four oclock the leak had reached such proportions that several passing Harper and Fourteenth cars were seen to shake as with a fit But one of these shuddering vehicles brought tlio man who solved the problem. He wns a negro who used to work In an ammonia factory in Cincinnati. Entering the bar he ordered a burlap sack soaked wilh beer. Wrapping the dripping sack around his face "Ammonia Bill'' went into the cellar. "Bond down another sack, 'n soak it well, he called up In about five minutes. The suck went down and the first one came up dry as flinti Half bags went down and came up dry. By that a dozen times the times the fumes had disappeared. Robert Bartlett, companion of Peary on the trip when he reached the north pole, who finally succeeded where the others had failed. He used the stuunch sealing steamer Neptune, and by his feat he adds considerably to the reputation he made on his several voyages with Peary. Bartlett says the ice on this trip was the heaviest he had ever met. MacMillan was also one of Pearys lieutenants on the polar trip. Many of the things MacMillan has accomplished in the far North will be appreciated only by the scientific w'orid. But even the layman can understand his work iu iunpping a great stretch of the const of Ellesmere Lund, across Smiths sound to the west of Greenland ; discovering the second biggest glacier in the northern hemisphere; locating two new islands and disproving the existence of two more, showing that Crocker Laud, seen by Peary from the summit of au immense cliff, is only a mirage, nnd penetrating many miles over the frozen ocean beyond the point where Crocker Lund was supposed to begin. When rescued by Bartlett at Etnh, MacMillan nnd the members of his party were living on dog biscuit and (lucks eggs, but were in good health. Tiiey would probably have endured severe hardships next winter, however, If they had not been reached in time. MacMillan crossed Smith's sound once every year he spent In the North, and every time came through without a mishap, a remarkable feat In itself. rocks He found rich mineral-bearin- g and extensive coal fields. The exact nature of these discoveries is not yet entirely disclosed. A complete report will be given out by the American museum. The expenses of the trip, were borne by the museum, the American Geographical society, the University of Illinois and various persons Interested in Arctic exploration. With his thousands of specimens so valuable to the scientific world, MacMillan brings back an insignificant tin box, which to one person in the world means more than a hundred skeletons. MacMillan told the story of this little box as follows : "I gave this box to a little Eskimo girl, who will cry her eyes out over the loss of it. She insisted upon coming with us up from Etah. Forty miles Qwin there we had to chase her off the boat, and In her hurry she left this tin box. She can comfort herself with the other treasures priceless to her. I gave her a little sliver watch, a toothbrush, bits of gaudy qloth, a rnttrap, some parafin which she used as chewing guin and a piece of soap. - I first saw the child when I came north with Ieary on the trip when he found the pole. W. Elmer Ekblaw and all the members of the purty gave' lilgh praise to Dr. Morton P. Poraild, a noted Danish scientist, head of the Danish government scientific station at Godbaven, Disco island, Greenland. Ekblaw was the first American scientist to spend any time with Doctor Porslid, although students from several European countries have been sent to the station for Instruction. "Doctor I'oralld is doing work in geology, astronomy nnd zoology and in tbe study of Eskimo culture which will gain recognition from tbe whole scientific world, Bald Ekblaw. He and Ills wife have been at since 1905; their daughter was born there nnd has never been out of Greenland, lie initiated his work and the Danish government was so Impressed by its value that they allow him 10,000 crowns (about $2,880) a year to carry It on. It extends throughout the Baffin Bay region and along the east coast of Greenland. "Doctor Poraild is forty-fiv- e years old, but looks older. He has a beautiful home, nn extensive library and a laboratory. The numerous hot springs nt Godlmven render the climate and vegetation similar to those some GOO miles to the south. I cial backing.

I expect to do as much in a day with un airplane as I can do In 20 days with the dogs, he explained. MacMillnn was greatly pleased to learn of the progress in aviation which has taken place on account of the great war during his stay away from the world. He thinks airplane construe) Ion has now been carried to a point of perfection where he can rely on certain ypes of flyers ns fully us he does on his "huskies and his snow shoes.
