It wa found accidentally in 1873 by en Aus- trian expedition searching for a north- east pessage to the Pacific. At that | time the archipealgo was believed to be part cf a continental mess cf con- sider>ble sizo, hence the designation ‘Land.’ Since thon has proved t» be on icland group, o taained until re s:a entered a cl suggastad that its nzme Fridtjof Nansen Land, in bon‘r cf the great Norwegian expiorer. Storms Sweep Desolate Isles. “Desolate in the extrme, swept by gales and snowstorms, none of the islands of Frank sef Land is inhab- ited, and it is extremely unlikely th:t any of them ever will posscss & perma- nent settl'ment. Several expeditions have Wintered there and for some time the group was studied by explorers who | believed it might be part of a land | zoute to the Ncrth Pole. Wh<n this be- lief was disproved Fronz Josef Land fell into neglect, Spitsbergen, somz 150 miles southwes has been the starting point of two cf the thres successful North Pole expe- ditiors. “The few explorers and occasional sealers who hate reached Franz Josef | Land report that it is composed of some | 30 islands of more than 10 miles in | extent and innumerable smaller ones, all roughly divided into-three groups. | All the islands are ice-capped, and where land shows st all it is generally along black basaltic cliffs or in nuna- | taks or exposed hills surrounded by ice | Compared with other Arctic | sheets. lands, the islands are comparatively low, none of them reaching more than 2,000 feet above sea level, and many of | them being only from 200 to 300 feet high. The permanent snow line in Summer in (hIs region is only 30 feet ebove sea level. Jcy Snow Sometimes Red. “Despite their forbidding aspect and the handicap of 80 degrees of latitude, tha islands of Franz Josef Land reveal a surprising amount of wild animal 1ife. Polar bears. seals, white whales, Arctic foxes and an occasional walrus exist in sufficient numbers to support explorers, although the supply eisily might be exhausted. During the brief Summer poppies and saxifrage brighten the sandy patches along the rocky beaches, and the usual Arctic birds the loons, rotges and dovekiss—sweep alcng the rocky cliffs. A few ducks and geese breed on the islands, although all leave before the end of August. “The Franz Josef grcup has little po- tential worth. It possesses no known supply of precious minerals or coal, and while the last remnants of th> Gulf Stream keep its main channels cpen in Summer, fogs and gales zre so frequent that the region could have no depend- able value as an airplane port of call, even though it does lie on the great circle route between Western Europe and the Far East. “A peculiarity of the district is its sudden snowstorms. The snow does not fall in great flakes, but in fine, pulver- izad particles of ice, which drift like desert sand. Under foot it is firm, and the walker leaves almost no feotprints. Occasionally one finds patches of ‘red snow,’ a curious alg>e or vegetable lif which tints snow a rosy color. No tr grow on the islands, although driftw: can be found in Summer along the rocky beaches.” Gllden Dlsplnce Duelx, BERLIN (/) —Beer-drinking bouts and dueling have given way to glider fiying among university students in search of exc tement.

I OS ANGELES, September 4 (#).— | Nocturnal Crows | Of Paris Rooster | | Arouses Savant| Member of Academy of| Sciences Starts Hen | House Investigation, PARIS, Sept:mber 4 (Special)—If the poor rooster had known he would | cause so much trouble, probably he | would have turned over on his_ side and pcunded his car a few hours long- er till morning. As it was, certain- ly did crow, loud and lu l)’ and it was certairly midnight—even in Mont- parnasse—and today the crow of the| cock in the middle of the night has the entire Academy of Sciences by the ears. M. Bigourdan, member of the Acade- ‘ my, heard the cock crow, and heard it so distinctly he woke up his wife— even_scientists like corroboration—end she heard it. They both went to the window, threw aside the curtain, lis- toned again, counted the stars, and there it was once more! | M. Bigourdan was so upset he could hardly wait for the next meeting of the academy under the cupola of the an- cient institute. When it did meet he was right on t'me and he put on the | whole show over again. It is true, he said, it was a moon- | light night—and such a moonlight night, ma foi!—but had the mq before been mistaken for the sun by | even a Montparnasez rocster? No one present could say it had. | Crave consideration was then given to historical cases wherein roosters had | or had not been seriously mistaken by | the sudden effect of electric lights, the introduction of darkness into a coop at noon end the iniroduction at midnight of bright floodlights, with this strangs d | effect on the male head of the chicken | | family. | But there were no incandescent lamps | | around, M. Bigourcan s2id, for he went the next morning to where the cce | and hens were kept, and he checked ti & phenomenon with his clock £nd his notebooks and i wife, and verified his | findings. Almost, every newspaper in Paris com- mented seriousiy on the unusual hap- pening. The Gallic cock has crowed in Parls for ssveral generations, but | no one had ever heard the “cocorico” (opyriktitianaL) France has lnsdtuk:d a licensing sys- | tem for coal imports.
