Some of the Facts Established by DR..
Nanscn's Experience.

Some of tho Facts Established by DR..
Nansen's Experience.
Complete details OF the remarkable
journey which DR.. Nansen and his COM
rades made across Greenland last sum
mer will not reach us for several
months, as the party arrived at tho
west coast too late TO catch the last
vessel. The brief letters, however,
from Nansen and Syerdrup that reached
Ivigtut just as the last vessel OF the
season was weighing anchor, give some
very noteworthy information which, in
connection with the discoveries OF somo
earlier explorers, establishes the fact
that inner Greenland IS one OF the
loftiest regions In the world.
Neltherof these gentlemen intimates
that in their long journey they saw
any mountains except near the coast.
Their travels and previous journeys
justify the conclusion that inner
Greenland is vast undulating plateau
covered deep with snow and ice. But
no plateau OF equal tremendous alti-
tude is found elsewhere in the world
outside of Thibet. For nearly threo
weeks, they tell us. they travelled at an
altitude OF over 1900 feet. AS their
progress was at the rate OF over ten
miles day, they must have journeyed
between 100 and 200 miles at an alti-
tude above the sea of nearly 5000 feet
hipher than the summit OF Mount
