BALLo0NING IN HIGH LAT1TUDEs.

A new Arctic exploring expedition is
projected in London by Commander
John P. Cheyne, of the Royal Navy.
But that it is seriously discussed in the
Times, and seems to merit the attention
of quite number of prominent men
like Lord Derby, Sir Charles Dixie,
Colonel Alexander and the Lord Mayor,
the public would be disposed to regard
the proposition as farce or burlesque
on previous plans. Commander Cheyne
proposes purely scientific exploration,
and if the estimated cost of the expedi-
ton, 100000, can be raised in time it
will start in June.
Her Majesty's Government is expected
to lend the steam store-ship Discovery
for the purpose. 1t is proposed to reach
the Pole after working as far north as
the steamer can run by the use of sledges
and balloons. Only when the sledges have
to be abandoned will resort be had to
the balloons. These are expected to
start about June, 1881, at which time the
sun will be constantly on duty in that
western latitude.
Three balloons will be employed, each
having lifting power of ton to a ton
and half, and will be provisioned and
watered for fifty-one days for the party
of seven that are to make the reconnois-
sance. 1t is confidently expected these
aerial navigators will reach the North
Pole in from thirty to forty hours after
leaving the sledges. 1t is not stated what
propelling power is relied upon to give
the ba lloons just exactly the right di.
rection to accomplish this result.
The party expect to remain on or at
the Pole about one week, making sci
entifc observations and photographing
the circumjacent scenery. They expect
to dispatch a balloon or two to Russii
for the purpose of telegraphing theil
discoveries to England. 1t is calculated
that news can be sent through from the
Pole to London via St. Petersburg inside
of three days. The distance to be
traversed from the sledges to the Pole
is estimated at about five hundred miles
and the proposition is under dis
cussion to pay out small telegraph,
wire in transitu so that the balloon party
can have constant communication witt
their friends aboard ship. The Duke o
Cambridge, it is stated, has consented tt
allow military officers to act on the Arc
tic committees and assist in carrying ou
this scheme.
One would naturally expect to see tn
name of Jules Verne, the celebrated au
thor of "Voyage to the Moon" and
"Trip to the Center of the Earth" amon
the projectors of this novel exploration
but the project is probably too visionar.
for even his wild Imagination.
