GEOGRAPHICAL PROBLEM SOLvED-Within the
present generation, and mainly during the
present decade, nearly all the great geouranhi-
cal problems left us by our adventurous ances-
tors have been solved; all the great lines of eX-
ploratlon have been taken up and worked out
with success that leaves to the future only the
details to fill In. The northwest passage was
completed more than quarter Of century
ago; the Australian Interior has been crossed
and recIossed within the past few years: several
6right lines now break up the once mysterious
darkness OF the Dark Continents" the sources
OF the Nile have been traced, and the course OF
ire Congo all but laid down; the Russians have
filled up many important blanks in Central
Asia; there is now no mystery to speak of for
and none OF any magnitude on the South: even
the great outlines OF the ocean-bed have been
chartered, and now at last, after a struggle be-
gun more than 800 years since, the northeast
passage has Deen made with an ease that makes
one wonder why 1t was not done LONG ago. A

almost unhurt. The escape was certainly one
OF the most marvellous on record. The balloon
used was an old one, and L'Estrange patched
