proach their task under conditions
infinitely more favorable than were
vouchsafed to the mariners not only
OF previous centuries but of forty or

out another expedition, it Is to be
hoped that it may be more fortunate
than that commanded by Sir George
Mares, the meagre practical results Of
which contrasted curisusly with tne
lavish completeness OF it's equipment
and the high hopes entertained Of its
achievements.

HEAT YIELDED BY THE SUN.

whole in the same time.
