| for n reduction Of about 80 percent

A Norwegian Expedition will
shortly start in search OF the North
Pole. The route TO he followed Is
based upon the theory that the arti-
Giles belonging to the Jeanette,
found on the 18th Of June, three
years after the disaster to the ship,
al u point directly opposite the
pole, must have followed u supposed
submarine current, which, leaving
the archipelago at New Siberia,
must have conveyed them to the
Greenland COLONY, where they were

route exists, crossing the Polar re-
gions. This route will be taken.
