A Gordon Around the North Polar
Basin.

The Gordon of international scientific
stations around the North Pole basin is
presumably by this time near, if not
quite, complete, and the observational
work they are to carry out fairly begun.
The different corps of observers sent out
to occupy these Arctic outposts were in
structed to begin observing on August
1, inst. if possible, and continue them,
if possible, till September l, 1888. The
research undertaken, in accordance with
the scheme OF Lieutenant Weyprecht.
embraces all the phenomena of Arctic
meteorology, terrestrial magnetism,
auroral displays, and astronomical
events, with number of optional in.
vestigations. These observations will
be taken hourly each day, and the in.
strumental equipment of the various ex.
petitions, as well as their personnel. in
sure thorough investigation of the phe.
nomena occurring within reach of the
different stations. The United State:
and Russia have each opened two sta
tions, England and Canada together oc-
cupy one, and Germany, Austria, Hol.
land, Sweden, Norway, Finland and
Denmark each occupy one-making
twelve in all.
A calculation of the mean latitude OF
these polar observatories places them
on the parallel of seventy-One degrees
five minutes north. As the circumfer.
ence of this parallel is about eight
thousand miles, it will be seen that the
average distance of the stations from
each other is little less than seven
hundred miles. This, it is to be regret
ted, is large interval; but, actually,
there is one gap Chat between Cumber.
land Sound, in Davis Strait, and Fort
Rae, British America,) of over thou
sand miles, and another between Fort
Rae and Point Barrow nearly as wide.
In the eastern polar area there is third
gap extending from the Dutch station,
Dickson Harbor, at the mouth of the
Yenisei, to the Russian station on the
Lena Delta, over forty-two degrees in
longitude (about nine hundred miles),
and still a fourth interspace, between
the Lena Delta and Point Barrow, OF
eighty degrees. Or sixteen hundred
miles. This last immense gap is not of SO
much consequence as the other three,
as it affects the investigation of polar
phenomena related to the meteorOlogy
of sparsely inhabited Northeastern Asia
But the break in the chain of observa-
tons between the German station on
Cumberland Sound and Fort Rae will
seriously mar the value of the meteor
illogical data, so far as America is con-
cerned, unless the British Government
open an intermediate station on the
vest shore of Hudson Bay. Fort York
may perhaps serve for this purpose if
the observations taken there were made
uniform and synchronous with those
instituted at the higher stations. The
results of this grand concerted research
of the nations. it may be expected. will
be of great moment to science. and, as
it is an experiment limited in time, ev-
cry practical measure should betaken to
make it complete.-M Y. Herald.
