of extreme cold. M. de Fourvillc,
world-famous for his success in balloon
ing, has entered with the greatest en-
thusiasm into the subject, and even So
licited permission to join personally the
expedition. This new mode of Arctic
research may indeed prove more use
full than we suspect in the manner al
ready pointed out.
On the supposition that all works
well, the final dash for the Pole, when
ever an opportune moment arrives, is
thus planned: The four hundred miles
to be crossed is to be divided into eight
stations, fifty miles apart. Ell ght
sledge-parties set out together, and upon
arriving at the allotted distance each
sledge-1oad of supplies is successfully
cached, and the party returns. Should
success attend them, single sledge's
company is left to make the last fifty
miles and stand on the North Pole of
the earth! This is daring anticipa-
ton; but it will do no harm to plan for
success at least. For this final achieve
ment of what all hope for though few
expect, tolerably smooth ice-fields or
open water-courses or, again, tracts of
intervening land mustlend their friend
ly aid; and it is not impossible that
some or all of these may be found
