ANrAnc1Ic EXPLORATIONS.
The Acknowledgements Expedition 10 10 N
Fitted Dat.

According to Petermanh's MHei,un1en. after
years OF agitation all the difficulties in tho way
OF the Australian Swedish expedition TO the
Antarctic Ocean have been removed Three
months ago IL seemed probable that the entire
undertaking had been defeated through the
failure OF some OF the Australian colonies TO
contribute sic. 900 each. which was one OF the
conditions on which the fitting out OF the eS-
podition depended. That difficulty has been
overcome and all the money required has been
provided so that. with the addition oil the
$4,000 which that great friend Of Polar OK
ploration. Mr. Oskar Dickson. has contributed.
the expedition can be started In good shape.
To Baron Ferdinand Won Mueller. tho Nestor
OF German scholars In Australia, is due the
raising OF tho money required. 1t is not the
first time that he has been influential in start
ing out expeditions that have been fruitful In
geographical results.
1t is expected that the expedition will be
only preliminary to another one organized on
larger SCALE but tho first party. 1t is believed.
