The famous ltalian poet, Gabriele d'Annunzio, who is anxious to die in an original manner, once thought of being blown from the mouth of a field-ghn, He Tecently hinted he would enter a bath of acid and dissolve. Now he wants to die at the North Pole and says he has asked General Giuseppe Valle, Under-Secretary for Air, to pilot hira there when he feels death is approaching, and leave him on the ice. D'Annunzio told this to Signor Ugo Ojetti, a member of the Boyal Academy, who said: "You won't be long alone. The polar bears will come to see you."
