This | will forestall any accident of detention or | loss and always keep the party well sup- | plied with food. His idea is to bave 2 | very small party and make a sseady ward march until the pole is reached. Lewis Lindsay Dyche, who is professor of zoology and curator of birds and mam- mals in the Kansas State University, is a man of strong personality, indomitable energy and boundless entbusiasm and if his past work is any criterion by which to udge the future he will undoubtedly suc- ceed in his effort to find the North Pole. He was born while his parents were en route to the new Territory of Kansas in a wagon drawn by oxen. His early life was | filled with the hardships incident to the life of a pioneer. | He worked his way through the Univer- sity of Kansus so successfully that n his graduation he was offered a position as assistant and made himself so useful to | tke university that the chair of anatomy and p'ysiology was created and gziven to him. Later on the branches of zoology, animal histology, the curatorship of birds and mammals and the practical work of taxidermy were placed under 1 He has made fourteen expeditions lecting the larger mammuis of North America_and three expeditions to the polar regions. The exhibit of the Kansas University at the Worla’s Fair at Chicago, which consisted of more than a hundred mounted animals, was prepared by Dyche and all of the specimens had been killea by him. In the storeroom of his depart- { ment at the university he has :everal | thousand specimens, including many that are of animals now tin. The professor cung man, not | yet baving reached bhis fortieth year. He is confident tbat by the time h has reached 45 he will have solved the rious problem of the north very sensitive regarding his and keeps the peovle of his home ¢ newspaper men constantly gu where he will turn up aiter he s| from the university at the close sion. Professor Dyche is usualls on his mission before it is known tha bas gone that all attempts at i bim are prevented, and even when repor ers succeed in reaching him he has so ity g PROFESSOR I. L. DYCHE termined upon his course, but felt that heretofore not enough attention had been paid to the details and 100 much had been left to chance by those who had made the attempts. The professor, who has the financial backing of wealthy gentlemen connected with the University of Chicago and the Columbian Museum in his efforts, will decide upon the route to be selected when he returns from his coming trip to Alaska and then the effort of his life will be made. 1f he displays as much energy and perseverance in this as he has in the past, the mysterious North Pole will prob- ably give up the secret which has taffled 50 many explorers. Professor Dyche’s plan of attack on the citadel of the Frost King will require both time and money, and heis ready with the time, while his Chicago backers are ready with the money. According to his reason- ing all previous attempts have failed through a lack of provisions, or because the explorers became disheartened by the many obstacles. He tuinks that it will take not less than three years to reach the pole and return, and when he starts he will have provisions sufficient to last five years. This amount will be enough to | cover any possible accident. Previous ex- plorations have proven that men live and keep their bealth in the frozen regions, and he believes that his past experiences wil! enable him to endure any possible hardship that he may meet. The plan by which he expects to suc- ceed is simple—so simple, in fact, that it is a wonder that it has not long ago been utilized. It is a regular campaign and steady advance until the pols “is reached. The professor will go to the whaling- | station nearest the pole on the route se- Jected and make that the base of opera- tions. There ha will secur: Esquimau with their dogs and sledges and start along the shore of the ocean direct for the ole. ¥ At projecting headlands whose contour is so marked to preclude thé possi- bility of their being missed he will make caches of provisions, bis idea being to make & cache at the end of each week’s many other things to talk about that he never finds time to tell his plans. Professor Dyche will reach San Fran- cisco to-morrow and will probably spend several days here and at tbe Stanford University before starting for Alaska. MAINS WITHOUT WATER. Mission Koad Residents Complain of General Neglect, At the Mission Five-Mile Improvement Club last night F. J. Gilfeather presided in the absence of Dr. E. N. Torello. Sec- retary M. H. Levy reported for the execu- tive committee that ihe Supervisors had promised to bave Mission road sprinkled from Cortland avenue to the county line by the sprinkler from the House of Cor- rection. This report was hailed with delight by the members, it gives assurance thau the clouds of dust which permeate inio every nook and corner of the dwellings will be laid. The pound limit question cameup for debate once more, and on this a special committee was authorized to appear be- fore the Supervisors and urge upon them the necessity of extending the limits to cover Excelsior Academy, and Spring Val- ley homestead tracts. Enzelin, 4. D. Retzhorn and L Her- zog were appointed a special committee 10 urge the buildin« of a bridge over Islais Creek, for which $10,000 has been appro- priated; also for the locating of three ad- ditional electric lights as follows: One at Athens and India streets, one at Kdin- burgh and Brighton avenues and one on Isiais Creek bridge.
