construction, in order to eounterbalance
Ii 3se in the north, and maintain the
arth in stable equilibrium. From time
to time search for these imaginary
y 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 a re-
suit of this the old geographers were
disguised 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 he'd figured so long on
their charts.
Early in this eentti s few import
ant discoveries were made, and about
1895 the American and several European
governments began to take an interest
in these regions As 3 result oe this
international interest, which was per-
haps int stional pride, intermingled
with curiosity, the United Safes gov
eminent deliberately fitted out an ex-
petition under the command of Lieu

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-
pics a corresponding position in the
water hemisphere, surrounded by q
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 ii 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,

An expedition to the South Polar
regions is an enterprise far more diff
cult of conception in all its bearings
than the one to the opposite hcmiS-
phcre, a climate perhaps vastly more
severe, a navigation infinitely more in
tricate and dangerous in character,
and so far removed from any base of
operations with no known harbor for

prise almost impracticHble. / think
that one vessel can be so equipped as
to render retreat safe and certain if
! the vessel is lost.
On the decks of the steamer we shall
carry two lifeboats. One of these shall
be large enough to cross the rough
waters between the South Shetland
islands and South America. The other,
smaller one, will be built for ice
navigation.
Since the seasons are reversed in the
southern hemisphere, the months for
exploration will be December, Janu-
airy, February and March. Therefore,
the expedition should leave New York
about Sept. /, next.
The course will be New York to the
Falkland islands, there replenish our
coal and provision supply. From the
Falkland islands we shall steam
directly for Terra Louis Philippe. On
one of the islands off this coast we
shall deposit one Of our lifeboats, with
provisions enough to reach the FallS-
land islands from here.
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
We shall here take advantage of the
first opportunity to enter the ice bar
rier and proceed in southerly direc-
ton to the most southern point at
which we will be able to reach land.
There search for some nook or harbor
for our vessel, establish our headquar-
tiers, beginning systematic observa-
tions at once.
What remains in store for us to face
on this frozen continent during the
long, gloomy Antarctic night, one can
do little more than conjecture. We
shall be so fortified against the ele-
ments that if the storms are worse and
the temperature lower than in the
northern regions it would not materi-
ally affect our existence. We shall be
thoroughly prepared to meet the worst,
The immediate surroundings will
first receive detailed geological and
Typographical survey. Meteorological
observations, which will begin on our
arrival, will be continued right along
unremittingly for one year.
A party will be kept constantly in
the field in search of animal and vege-
table life in the sea and on land This
party shall also search diligently for
fossil remains of earlier life.
The inland ice, if it exists, will be
examined with view to utilizing it as
a highway for more southern explora-
tons If we find it practicable for
this p- rpose We shall establish an adj
vance station.
From this advance station o. pro-
visions we will begin operations the
following spring, when the sun re-
turns, for an extended southern sledge
journey across the continent.

in the field must cease and systematic

Ludwig's throne chair was to have

every othcr extravaganza Of its de-
parted owner. proved but an element
Of discord among all who had anything
to do with it. AS a consequence it now
exists only in detached and costly frag-
mentS. like the isolated limbs of some

in this old age Of the nineteenth cen
fury popular ignorance on the subject
of thrones is appropriately dense, in
spite of the fierce light POLITICALLY
charged with the irrcvercnce of beat
ing upon them,
Thus Queen Nictoria's subjects, to
cite the leading nation among mon
arches, are almost universally IN
aware that the royal lady is entitled
to take her seat in a trinity of thrones.
AS queen of Great Britain she occupies
the chair upon which fortunes have
teen spent and which, hidden beneath
cloth of gold and elevated upon a dais
of four steps, lives in the history of
human glory as the throne of England.
As queen of Ireland there is reserved
for her in the Dublin palace of the lord
lieutenant semblance of the sham
rock wreathed seat that Emmett apos-
trophized on the scatfold as the couch
of Erin's kings. 1t is now nothing
more than semblancc, for Ireland's
real throne has never been occupied
but by Ireland's real kings, Tradi-
ton has it that the royal chair was
spirited away as long ago as the time
of that English Henry who, according to
the rhymes that any of your acquaint'
ance can repeat "laid Ireland low"
Be this as it may, there exists a
throne, carved of oak and gilded lib
orally, which bears the ensign of the
harp and is tapestried in green. Over
it is wealth of canopy and cloth of
gold. Whenever it is rumored that
England's sovereign proposes visiting
the sister kingdom this reserved seat
of royalty is put il readiness for her
majesty.

throne reserved for her majesty at the

nothing of the sort exists

gagged to the late MISS ADELE GRANT.
Lord Garmoyle, afterward Earl OF
Cairns, but Upon his name being asso-
ciated with that Of an English actress,
the engagement was broken.
She is to be countess, nevertheless,
and, what is more, one of unusual
prominence, for although her husband
is an earl there are earls and there are
earls, her future earl being tie seventy
third peer in England. The import
ance of this number will be realized
when it is known that the Bradley
Martins earl is the 2OOth. The earl
dom of Essex was created in the yea,
1861, whereas that of Craven is quite
lnodern, and dates only from 1901.
This being the case, the future countess
of Essex will talle precedence over the
countess of Craven. On the other
hand, the former Miss Cornclia Martin
is more fortunate than Miss Grant, for
should the first ever have son he will
succeed to the title of earl, whereas no
son that the countess of Essex may
ever have will enjoy this honor unless
Algernon George De We're, the son of
the late earl of Essex by his first wife,
should die. He is now a lad Of 10
