eultles encountered, aud will attempt to
discover If there is not a possibility of
reaching the north pole by utilizing certain
natural facilities in the frozen seas Of which
all explorers were ignorant. The circum-
stances upon which these new hopes are
based are connected with the loss of the
Jeannette. Exactly three years after she sunk
there was found near Julianshaab, In
Greenland, several articles belonging to the
Jeaunette which had been carried to a
point in Greenland from the opposite side
OF the Polar Sea on piece of ice. The
fact at once aroused curiosity. and DR.. Nan

from the Bering Straits to Greenland. Dr.
Nansen's expedition will endeavOr to realize
the hope Of direct route across the apex

consist of ten or twelve men. The Norwe-
