sighted. Still onward they steamed
for two days, entering waters which
/ had never before been plowed by keel,
/ and on Jan. % they reached latitude "a
| degrees. Here the practical captain de-
/ cided to turn north again. He was look
/ ing for whales, and as none had been
/ sighted, he could see no profit in going
forward. 1t mattered little to him that
before them was solitude which man
had never explored and which might
never be reached again. He wanted
whales. Just little more than one de-
gree to the south lay the south magn etic
pole, according to Borchgrevink' s calcu-
lations. He might easily have continued
until the shore of the continent was
reached, pushed on over the land if pos
sible. and made his voyage one Of the
most famous since the days of Column
bus.
But no! Whale oil was what he was
after and not fame. So he turned back.
The feeling of disappointment in the
breast of the humble scientist before the
mast may be imagined.
Back they went to Cape Adair, days
sail to the north. There the captain was
persuaded to make a landing. Borchgre-
wink was the first man of those in the
two boats to set his foot on the mysteri-
Gus continent. In his enthusiasm to gain
this distinction he jumped into the icy
water up to his waist and waded ashore.
He made a hasty investigation of the
shore and gathered few specimens of
rock and found some lichens similar to
those ON Possession island. Then the
Antarctic steamed home through the ice
pack and escaped before the southern
polar winter set in and caught her in its
Icy grasp.
Professor Borchgrevink intends TO
have his party landed on the mainland
near Coleman island From there he
will start with three Norwegian COM
panions and traverse on snowshoes and
sledges the distance of 100 miles inter
vening between the camp and the pole.
What manner of country this is he will
try TO discover. He is almost sure that
it is continent. He does not know that
it is not inhabited. The Eskimos live in
a more severe climate He thinks he has
seen a trace of land animals, and he will
try to find them.
Will he find the pole?
If he finds it, will he live to returnP
He is confident of doing both. Thou
sands of scientists and millions of intel
ligent people who do not claim more
than a speaking acquaintance with sci
ence will await the result of this expe-
iition with expectant eagerness.

THE SOUTHERN POLE.
EXPLORERS NOW TURN THEIR At
TENTlON TO THE ANTARcTIcs.

BorchgreTink's Discoveries In Southern
seas and His Plans For = Future Expe-
ditiOn-An Antarctic Continent The
Great Ice Barrier of Victoria Land.
There IS a vast section Of this planet
about which we know almost nothing.
1t lies around the south magnetic pole.
The north pole has long been the goal Of
adventurous explorers who have trav-
ersed much Of the frozen wastes which
surround it, and now it is rumored that
Nansen has reached the pole and is re-
turning with definite information CON
corning it. At any rate, our maps Of the
arctic regions give Us a good idea Of the
proportion of land and water there

reported TO have seen so many of the
now almost extinct and very valuable
right whales. Professor Borchgrevink
at once applied for passage on the steam
er, but was CURLY informed that no sci
entific or other passengers were desired.
Nothing daunted, the hardy Norseman
offered TO ship as a common sailor and
was accepted. He signed articles 70 go
as seal shooter and took his quarters
in the forecastle with the rest of the
crew. In al his accounts OF his voyage
Borchgrevink has said little or nothing
about the hardships which be endured,
but il is known that the captain was un-
friendly 70 him from the start, perhaps
on account of the friendly and respect
full feeling the crew showed TO him.
The vessel in which he sailed was the
Antarctic, an antiquated steamer, which
had been patched up for the trip. She
was far superior, however, to the sailing
vessels Erebus and Terror, which Ross
used. The start was made ON Sept. 20,
but owing 70 an accident which caused
some delay it was Dec Z before he
sighted, from his station in the crow s
nest, the edge of the ice pack, the ad-
vance guard that tells of the existence
of the great ice barrier that surrounds
Victoria Land. For SO days the ship
struggled in the pack, lodging icebergs
and threading her way through narrow
channels that opened and closed as if the
ice had been pieces of colored glass in a
vast Kaleidoscope. Christmas night was
passed and the new year came in with
the rays of the midnight sun shining
down upon them. At last, on Jan. IA,
they found clear water, and two days
later, having steamed steadily south
ward, the forbidding coast line Of Vic
toria Land, on which human foot had
never been set, was sighted. Cape Adair
was reached, from whence land could be
seen stretching TO the south and west as
far as the eye could reach. It rose from
dark, bare rocks into peaks of perpetual
snow and ice 10, 900 feet above the sea.
Most of these peaks were of volcanic
formation, if not all Of them, and some
had been in recent eruption. These were
the smoking mountains which Ross told
about.
On Jan. 10 they reached Possession
island, where Ross made his only land
ing in the antarctic regions. Borchgre
wink and some of the crew landed, and
the young scientist told them that they
were the second party to set foot on that
island for half a century. He made
quite an extended exploration of the is
land and scaled one of the highest
peaks Here he made one of the most
important discoveries that have enriched
antarctic lore.
''Quite unexpectedly, he says, 81
found vegetation on the rocks about 80 +.
feet above the sea level Vegetation
never was discovered III such southerly
ATTITUDES before. 1t is cellular cryptog-
amous plant-a lichen. J"
Professor Borchgrevink does not say
that most men would have passed by
this insignificant growth without
thought, as Sir. James Ross probably
did. He saw in it an evidence of CON
tinent.
On Jan. 30 the vessel again steamed

cate their lack Of information by leaving
blank space about the southern extrem-
ity of the globe.
If it is true that Nansen has actually
solved the mystery of the north, the
chief ambition of future explorers will
be directed toward the southern pole.
Much Of our arctic mapmaking has been
done within the last half century, while
during the last Al years little or nothing
has been added to our knowledge of that
mysterious region below the antarctic
circle. Since Sir James Ross returned in
1852 from his daring dash into the south
polar seas and reported that he had dis
covered what he thought was a CONT
nent and which he named Victoria Land,
there has been lots of specializing done,
but no investigating, at least none under
scientific control.
The old geOgraphers accepted the the
DRY that there must be a great continent
there because land on that section of the
globe was needed to preserve the proper
tions and keep the spheroid upright.
Their successors could not accept this as
a true theory and, lacking any definite
evidence of the existence of such con-
tinent and weary of waiting for explor-
ers to supply the deficiency, finally
scratched off the lines of the vague con-
tinent from their maps. 1t remains TO
be seen whether or not they will be able
to definitely replace Antarctica within
the next few years.
There is one man living today who
has set foot ON what he believes was
this mysterious mainland of the frozen
south and is confident that within a
year he will have penetrated to the very
pole itself. This is G.. Egerberg BOrch-
grevink, the hardy NOrseman who last
summer startled the scientific world by
a modest announcement of where he
had been and what he had seen beyond
the antarctic ice barrier. He made his
statement before the international geo.
graphical congress in London, and his
simple story was received with. almost
unprecedented enthusiasm. He was
hailed as the hero of the antarctics, and
plans for Immediately following up his
discoveries were at once formed.
Mr.. Borchgrevink is now lecturing in
this country, but next September he is
to start at the head of a party of scien-
fists for the unknown regions around
the south pole. An English commercial
company has offered to fit out the expe-
dition and take the explorer and his
party to Victoria Land They are to go
in a good sized steamship, and will
carry with them q "a ton steamer and
naphtha or steam launch for the use of
the scientists. The steamship will load
with whale and seal oil and skins, or
with guano if nothing more valuable
can be secured. The explorers will be
landed and left to the mercy of an ant
arctic winter while the ship goes back
TO Melbourne, TO return year later.
Professor Borchgrevink is physically
an ideal explorer. He is stockily built,
bronze faced man of only 81 years. He
was born in Christiania of English and
Norwegian parents. As a young man he
made one trip before the mast on sail
ing vessel, and left the sea with reluc-
tance TO finish his education at various
European universities. Later he went

Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using real blood RENE
dy. So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood
disease make the mistake of taking rem
edies which at best are only topics and
cannot possibly reach their trouble. 1t
is in just such cases which other so-ca1led
blood remedies cannot reach that
SIS. has made some of the most Won
derful cures. Rheumatism is one of
the most obstinate diseases of the blood,
and there are few remedies which have
any effect whatever upon 1t.

writes:

tween the silver convention and the
