Canton, Yesterday. The prices of fowle have in- creased ever since the Winter Fes- tival, selling at $1.20 per catty, ducks at 80 cents, and geese at 65 centa Even cocks are sold from 80 to 90 cents per catty. But with an influx of a large num- ber of fowls from Wuchow, North River and Shuitung, the supply has greatly exceeded the demand.
OBSERVATORIES ON ICE PACKS
PLANS FOR TEMPORARY ARCTIC STATIONS
BIGGER R-101 NEEDED NEEDED
Observatories on the drifting ice- packs of the Arctic form part of the plans of the International Society for the Exploration of the Arctic Regions by means of Alr craft, described in the current issue of "Nature." "Aeroarctic" (to giva the Society Its shorter title) bas been founded within the last three years and has its headquarters at Berlin.
Men, sledge-dogs, meteorological Instrumenta, and food and fuel for two years could all, in the opinion of the Society, be carried to any part of the Arctic regions by an airship of sufficient sixe. The total of such a load would be about 25 tons, exclusive of the airship's crew, and the necessary cruising range would be about 9,000 miles. Such a performance is beyond the. capacity of either R-101 or the Graf Zeppelin, but should not be beyond the airships of the future.
