ArTEI, TIIE NORTH POLE.
Commander CheynG's Plan for Reaching
IIhY Mnnna nf N RnIInnn.

NEW YoRE, November 30.-Commander
Cheync, engineer OF the Arctic exploration,
who Is desirous Of making another attempt
toreacll the north pole, lectured last even.
ng before tho New York Academy Of
Sciences. llewants to go to the north pole
inaballoon instead Of being dragged 426
miles by Esquimaux dogs over an un.
known country. He said that the currents
Of the atmosphere, Us well rs the currents
Ot the ocean, have their regular courses,
and after u study OF the winds that blow
about the arctic circle he could certainly
make his calculations 80 Rs to reach the
long sought pole by balloon.
In presenting this plan to many he had
been asked, "liut suppose you do calculate
OastOget there; how are you going to get
baCk| Commander Cheyne said that
getting back was nothing ifhe could only
reach the North Pole, although his plan
provided for return trip. He proposed to
start out with three large balloons OF pc.
cular construction, taking the current Of
wind that would bring them nearest TO the
pole. There would be three men in each
balloon, and they would take provisions
lot fity.one days, The balloons would
hAyedng ropes 900 feet long. When near.
ettothG pole they would anchor, and guild.
edby their cirinstruments theexplorers would
proceed to the exact spot, where they
would plant tho hags OF Great Britain and
Tie United States side by side. Comman-
der Chcync thinks that the Jeannette is
sale, and TINT she Is floating eastward with
aSa Of ice. TO carry out his enterprise Of
reaching the North Pole would require
about SISOO0O,N good part Of which has
already been promised in England. He
said that in case the British Government
refused to do anything for him he would
offer his entire service to tho American flag
The academy unanimously voted It's ap.
ptecAton of Mr. Cheyne's lecture, and
agreed in the belief that this plan was a
feasible one II the facts had been accur-
ately presented TO them.
