Into Alaska. Capt. E. F. Glean, who
also has been directed to make a mili-
tary reconnoissance ir to Alaska, will
follow him in a few diys. The first
duty enjoined upon these officers is to
proceed to Montana and purchase
range ponies to be used as pack ani-
mals. No reindeer will accompany the
expeditions. The two expeditions
named will be the best equipped of any
that have thus far penetrated that col-
ossal domain of ice and snow. In ad-
dition to better boats will be the ex-
perience already gained in Alaska by

To Solve London’* Smoke Problem.
The London county council has pro-
L_posed that a reward of $5,000be offered
for the discovery of a solution of tha
I London smoke question.
Some such disposition of the cadets
chown for service in the corps of con-
structors was proposed a year or more
ago, but did not meet with entire ap-
proval. Capt. F. M. Dickins, of the bu-
reau of navigation, visited the Boston
institution and reported that it would
be better to maintain u#speeial course
in naval architecture at the naval acad-
emy, since it was out of the question
to send our naval students to foreign
universities. The officials in the navy
departmen t, including the constructors,
believe that quite as satisfactory a
course can be developed at American
universities and technology colleges as
exists abroad, where students are
obliged to take many subjects for which
they have no use.
There was objection on the part of
the French and British institutions to
receiving any more American students,
and. when Bear Admiral Hichborn s
proposition to recognize the course at
the Massachusetts institute of technol-
ogy was not. approved arrangements
were made to establish a. department in
naval architecture at Annapolis, enlarg-
ing on the course begun by Constructor
Hobson. Congress failed to make the
necessary provision for the course or
it« instructors, and it will now benec
essary to provide for the young men
elsewhere. As both Cornell and tbe Bos-

estimated that the monetary loss
