DESCRIBES VISIT BY AIRPLANE
TO HERSCHEL ISLAND IN ARCTIC

degrees. The salt air was warm and
invigorating. It was too hot for the
F.skimos.
Residents of Herschel are anxious
about Captian Pederson’s trading
boats and a police boat which are
caught in the ice off Demarkation
Point. The boats left Point Barrow
eastward bound ten days ago. There
are no boats at Herschel big enough
to buck the ice.
The herd of reindeer driven from
Nome to MacKenzie Bay by Andrew
Bahr and his men are getting along
fine. There were more than 1000
fawns born in the herd this year.
The reindeer were brot there as an
experiment and to provide food for
the Eskimos.
Tunnels in a bluff behind the vil
lage provide refrigeration for the
year’s supply of fish and meat. The
temperature there is below freezing
all the time. Eggs are kept in an out
er compartment where the tempera
ture is slightly above freezing. We
had eggs for breakfast there that
were brought to Herschel last year.
They were very good.
For drinking water ice is hauled
to Herschel from a clear water lake
three miles away.
Herschel Island is a place that I
had always wanted to go to. This
trip was a Wonderful experience. We
left hurriedly as it looked as though
a storm would come up later.
Flying from Fairbanks to Herschel
we took a straight course. Ours was
the first American plane ever seen
at Herschel.

Our flying time going up was five
hours. Coming back, to avoid running
into bad weather we took a more
round-about course, following the
Porcupine River. We saw the sun at
midnight.
No traces of civilization could be
seen between the Coleen River and
Herschel. Coming back we saw one
cabin on the Porcupine River. I
realize now what a hard trip it was
in the early days for those who
came from Herschel to Fort Yukon
with dog teams.'—Fairbanks News

STRATOSPHERE THEORY BEING
WORKED OUT HAS THE HUMAN
ELEMENT AS BIGGEST PROBLEM
(Continued From Page One)
Is compression of rarified atmos
sphere at high altitudes, so that the
engines get an air mixture equival
ent to lower levels.
Here again a limit appears. This
is the power needed to compress
the air. That limit is definite if en
gine power is used.
But by using the exhaust to run
the supercharger this limit is lifted.
Some engineers believe that as
real stratosphere altitudes are ap
proached steam power may come in
to use. The advantage is no need
of spending energy in supercharg
ing.
Human Problem Vital
Propeller designs will probably be
changed with great altitudes. They
will need considerably larger diam
eters of blades at 40,000 feet than
at 400 feet.
In inside circles at present there
is more discussion of the human
problem than of the mechanical.
The engineers can build the strat
osphere planes, of that there is lit
tle doubt.
But no one knows what effect the
great altitudes will have on paying
passengers, the persons who are not
specally trained for flying, but
without whom there can be no ser
vice.
Fifteen thousand feet is the limit
a which oxygen drops too low for
human comfort. Thirty thousand is
the limit at which decreasing atmo
spheric pressure becomes uncomfort
able.
An Unknown Factor
Engineers with certainty can de
[sign cabins for stratosphere planes
in which oxygen and air pressure can
be mantained at sealevel conditions.
The pressure needed is only 14 >4
pounds a square inch. Steam boilers
do immensely more with safety.
Cabins shaped like boilers can sus
tain the atmospheric pressure with
ease.
But here the unknown factor en
ters. Is sealevel atmospheric pres
sure at 40,000 feet in an enclosed
cabin, the same as at sealevel?
The answer should be an unquali
ed yes. But it is not. Physiologists
say-—We do not know—cannot
know until careful experiments are
tried.
The differences can be only slight.
There is a little more oxygen pro
portionately at 40,000 feet, a little
less carbon dioxide. Yet in medical
experiences such slight things oc
casionally have unexpected effects
on some susceptible persons. So the
physiological studies of the strato
sphere are going ahead, even more
quietly than the plans for the strat
osphere planes.
