The North Pole.

1t is q misrepresentation to suppose the
chief purpose OF Arctic exploration Is 10
reach the north pole, The north pole has
figured in the schemes Of scientific cx-
plOrerS only as a desirable incident in the
carrying out Of their work Biographies
talk Of the north pole quest pure and sim
pie as an unscientihc and puerile idea
What explorers are really expected to do
IS to advance as far as practicable into the
unknown region, 10 study It's geography
and make important scientific observations.
Captain Mares, nine years ago, had TO halt
800 miles this side of the pole But his ex-
petition was brilliant success, because he
entered the great frozen sea north Of this
continent, explored the coast line for dis
lance Of thirty-fve degrees of longitude and
brought home a great mass of Interesting
scientific data
The leading geOgraphers assert that Arc
TIC exploration is Of immense value 10 the
world, both in its scientific and in its conf
mercial aspects They say that winds,
tides terrestrial magnetism, meteorology
and other important phenomena cannot be
thoroughly Investigated except under many
djdprrn, conditions of temperature and To-
ca liz. Among many triUInphS of Arctic
research they mention the fixing of tie DO
sIl0n OF the true magnetic pole by Ross,
the finding of Il simple means of Keeping
the needle pointing to the true north in
high attitudes, the discovery of the com-
mercial mineral cryolite, and of the great
whaling and sealing grounds in the Spitz-
bergen and North Greenland seas. They
assert also that, in spite Of the frightful dis
asterS that have befallen some exploring
parties, the loss OF life has been small.
About three per cent of the Arctic explor-
ers have died in the course of their work
not a large proportion when compared with
the mortality among African explorers
