Another Artic expedition is announced,
the results OF which. If successful, can
scarcely fail to be OF considerable scien-
tifc and historical interest Its objective
point is that great blank triangle with
serrate edges that on our maps Is labelled
Greenland, but which the explorer Davis
declared should be called the land of desc
latiOn, and which Professor Nordensk jold,
had named the Northern Sahara The
expedition has been equipped at Christi
ania, Norway, and VIII set out al once
from Copenhagen, under the leadership Of

museum at Bergen. a landing Will be

nent or die. " At best it will be an ardu-
Gus and Terilous task to traverse on foot
700 miles of eternal snow and Ice. Nor
Is there much in TIE history OF Green
landic adventure to encourage these harry
voyagers. The interior of this vast CONT
nent is yet an unknown land. Indeed it
may not be a cont nent at all, but All
archipelago VIII Sc straits are perpetually
ice-locked Prof. NordenskjOd, a: the
extreme point reached by him in 1888,
saw two ravens flying northward, and
from this was led TO believe that an open
sea existed in that direction; and he also
thought 1t probable that the interior OF
Greenland was or hundreds OF miles free
from snow in the summer time and clad
with priineyal forests. General Greedy
also been quoted as supporter of this
theory The more general and reasonable
belief is that an unbroken and neary
level plain of snow extends from SEA to
sea. Not only will the truth or fal,ity OF
these theories be determined by the sue
cess of Mr.. Nansen's expedition, b it
may be that further traces OF the Nilk-
ings VIII come to light, like the Runic
inscriptions found in 1924 near Uper-
nayik. Certainly there will be much to
add TO the worlds stock Of knowledge

waterproof footwear is a shoe made with
a stout calfskin vamp, seamless, under
lying which is a vamp of thin rubber,
and between it and the lining, which is
OF stout canvas. The bottom of the shoe
has rubber interlining between the
outer and inner soles, and thus the shoe is
about as near waterproof as leather shoe
can be. 1t is said to wear well and pre-
serve its waterproof qualities for an in
