ANOTHER GREENLAND.
Explorer Borchgrevink's Firm Belief In
an Antarctic Continent.

Explorer Borchgrevink's Firm Belief In
an Antarctic Continent.
In The Strand Magazine G. f. Borch-
grevink reviews briefly the results of
his visit 10 South Victoria Land in 1895.
! He says:
"In my opinion the great southern
continent is the Greenland of the south,
with just as many possibilities. do
fully believe that hitherto unknown
animal life will be found on South Vic
toria Land Captain Larsen on the
whaler Jason brought back petrified
wood from Graham Land, south of Cape
Horn, which fact, of course, proves great
climatic changes IN those regions dur
ing succeeding periods. AS our knowl
edge of the great southern continent
now stands, we must believe ii really
10 be a continent, and not mere accu-
mutation Of islands. as well from the
appearance of the land, as it has been
sighted nearly all round, as also from
sea soundings, and last, but not least,
from the nature of those specimens of
rocks which | brought back with me
from Victoria Land. If it is all land,
it is probably of an area twice the size
Of Australia.
Already the first sight of Victoria
Land convinces one that it is of volcan-
ic origin. The volcanoes of Victoria
Land show a tendency to follow the
same line. From Mount Sabine to
Mount Melbourne the trend is south
southwesterly. Mount Erebus and Mount
Terror lie almost due. south Of Mount
Sabine. Farther north from Mount Sa-
bine the great earth fold, on the septum
of which this chain of volcanoes is sit
uated, probably bends little westward,
as shown partly by the surroundings,
partly by the position of Balleny is
land. Northwest of Balleny island the
great fold trends perhaps to the knot
ting point between the Tasmanian axis
of folding and that of New Zealand, the
former, perhaps, running through Roy
al Company island, and the latter
or near Auckland island and
Macquarie island. The knotting point
would probably be somewhere approx
near the intersection of the six
tieth parallel of south latitude with
the one hundred and fiftieth meridian
of longitude east from Greenwich. 1t
would just join the line of extinct vol
canoes along east Australia on the west,
and, perhaps the active volcanic zone
of the North island Of New Zealand, or,
at all events. the fold which bounds
that continent on the east.
Traced in the opposite direction,
the volcanic zone probably runs through
Seal islands, the active volcanoes of
Christensen and Sarsee, and through
Mount Haddington, an extinct volcano
IN Trinity Land, to Paulet and Bridg-
nan islands, active volcanoes. ="

A FlatteriDg Recommendation


The Frank H. Long company opens a
weeks engagement at the Red Jacket
Opera House next Monday evening. The
following lattering NOTICES from an Iron
Mountain paper:
when an Iron Mountain audience viii
give an actor three curtain calls It is safe
TO say that the show was huge success
and the audience that we're there was
highly appreciatiye. Last night Mr..
Long presented his great play, The Mid
dleman,' and the manner in which II was
rendered was worthy OF crowded house
at high prices. In the character OF Cyrus
Blenkarn, Mr.. Long was everything that
could he looked for to satisfy the critic
and please the audience. Several times
he was called before the curtain and given
an ovation. Not until last night have
the people OF Iron Mountain awakened
TO an appreciation OF the excellent COM
pany that have been playing in their
midst all this week, and for the next
three nights standing room may be at a
premium"

Long Hold N Conference.

Naval Chairman Hale and Seoretary
Long Hold Conference.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Hale,
chairman of the senate committee on
naval affairs, has been in conference
with Secrtary Long with reference to
the propo. ed legislation for increasing
the docking facilities of the country.
The conference related especially to the
advisabllity of substituting floating for
fixed docks at some of the points where
docks are contemplated. There are
some places where docks are consid-
cred desirable, but at which steadfast
structures are not believed to be prac-
tical. Algiers, La, is one of these
points. ..
1t is practically decided that If any
dock is placed there it will be a float
ing one, made OF steel. The estimates
of the navy department, SO far as made,
are favorable to the steel structures on
the point of economy, but all the figures
have not been completed. Senator
Hale said, after leaving the department,
be taken mp in earnest by the congress
sional committees after the holidays,
ana he expressed confidence that legis-
lation on the general lines of the de.
partment's plans would be secured dur
ing the present session. He Ghinks
that the continuing contract system
will be adopted in preparing for the
work, so that the immediate appropria-
tion required will not be comparatively
large.
