Indeed with so constant power as

water you have only to sink a well

Not all the people who haunt the

dispensation of official favors. They
are of all ages, appearances and con-

The inland ice, if it exists, will be
examined with view to utilizing it as
highway for more southern eXplora-

this purpose we shall establish an adj
vance station.
From this advance station of pro-
visions we will begin operations the
following spring, when the sun re-
turns, for an extended southern sledge
journey across the continent.
AS the sun disappears explorations
in the field must cease and systematic

will permit.

at once begin our retreat. We shall
use every endeavor to protect our YES
sci from ice pressure and try to keep
her from being jammed or detained in
the ice packs. If we should be so un-
fortunate as to lose our vessel, our re-
treat is so planned that by the use of a
combination of small boats which can
be drawn over ice, and sledges, we will
be able TO reach our life-boat on an
island off Louis Philippe Land, and in
this cross over to the Falkland islands.
After we have crossed the Antarctic
Circle, If the time and weather con-
ditions will permit, we shall endeavor
to study the mainland and islands in

two South American ports, we shall

islands and South America. The other,
smaller one, will be built for ice

From Terra Louis Philippe our course
will depend much upon the movements
of those vast packs of ice drifting
around the polar area at the mercy of
the prevailing winds and currents,
leaving temporary openings in the
direction of the continent or the Pole.

been constantly directed northward,
the south polar regions have been neg
lected, and very little is known of the
Antarctic zone.
1t seems natural that this should be
the case when we consider the re-
spective relative positions of the two
points with regard to the more densely
inhabited portions of the earth. The
one is situated almost in the center of
the land hemisphere; the other occu-
pies corresponding position in the
water hemisphere, surrounded by a
waste of wild seas, and lying thou
sands of miles away from any inhab-
tied land.
So utterly isolated is the south pole
and the regions surrounding it, so
lonely and cold is it in its solitude,
that one would hardly feel astonished
if it had failed to attract the curiosity
of mankind
1t was TO satisfy curiosity that the
first expedition TO the south frigid zone
was undertaken. Old geographers en-
tertained the quaint idea that in the
southern seas great continents existed,
as necessary condition of terrestrial
construction, in order to counterbalance
those in the north, and maintain the
earth in stable equilibrium. From time
to time search for these imaginary
lands was made.
Previous to the beginning of this
century many attempts had been made
to enter the ice barrier and discover
the continent supposed to exist, but
their only success had been the discov-
cry of few barren islands As re-
suit of this the old geographers were
disgusted that nature should have
neglected to construct an Antarctic
continent, and scratched from off their
maps the great mainland of the south
ern seas, which had figured so long on
their charts.
Early in this century few import
ant discoveries were made, and about
1885 the American and several European
governments began to take an interest
in these regions. AS a result of this
international interest, which was per-
haps international pride, intermingled
with curiosity, the United Safes gov
eminent deliberately fitted out an ex-
petition under the command of Lieu
tenant Wilkes, and the French an ex-
petition under the command of Adj
miral Dumont d'Urvelle. Shortly after
these had been fitted out the English
