SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION
STEAMER BELG1CA'S VOYAGE OF
DISCOVERY.
Lieutenant Gcrlache Expects to Reach
Objects of the Explorers.

The steamer Belgica sailed from
Antwerp some weeks ago on Il South
Pole expedition. The following from
the New York Times gives the origin
and objects expected to be attained by
Lieutenant Gerlache in his trip to the
South Pole.
Since the days of Cook and Kergue-
len there have not been more than a
dozen expeditions directed toward the
South Pole, where the attractions Of
peril and death in all degrees of suf-
fering should be quite as fascinating
as those which have drawn the eXplor-
er to the North Pole.
The present Belgian expedition was
planned and will be executed by
a young Belgian lieutenant of engin-
GERS, who is scarcely thirty years of
age-Adrien de Gerlache. Young de
Gerlache also holds a commission as
captain in the Belgian naval reserve.
When a mere youth he had acquired a
great knowledge in navigation and de-
veloped a passionate desire for eXplo-
rations, which circumstances until
the present time have not allowed him
to exercise.
He began publishing his ideas con-
corning a South Pole expedition Just
about year ago through the Brussels
press and in a number of scientific
pamphlets, and at last requested that
a public fund be started to defray the
necessary expenses of an expedition.
The sum asked for was $4,000. but up
to tire present only $4,000 has been
received; that, however, did not pre-
vent the young engineer from under
taking his enterprise.
The journey by sea will be made i'm
an ordinary wooden whaler, which
will employ sails ordinarily, but which
is to be propelled by steam when the
winds are contrary, when ice blocks
the passage or when better sneed is
desired. The whaler is of 263 tons
burden, and has received the name OF
Belgica. She is strongly constructed,
and her most exposed parts are forti-
fled with an armor of oak planks. Two
steel spurs that may be manipulated
by the whaler's engines, are arrang-
ed to be operate from her bow to cut
4 passage through the ice. There are
also a captive balloon on board. from
which observations will be made: -

tention to take great quantity of pic
lures representing phenomena in the
ice fields, that may be of an artistic
rs well as of a scientific value. Spe-
rial attention will be paid to the stu
dv of the antartic water and atmos-
pheric currents.

GERS. Lieutenant Dance of the artillc-

MAN, who will make botanical and ZOO
logical studies, and VI. Artosky, the
well known Polish scientist. who will
conduct researches in meteorology and
oceanography. Twenty-Five men will
make up the Belgica's crew.
This is the general plan of the jour
ney. The Belgca, after leaving Ant
werp, August Is. will attempt to reach
a point within the antarctic circle by
October 30, when the summer season
of that zone is full under way. The
vessel will touch at the Canaries, at
Rio de Janeiro, and at La Plata. A
final stop will be made at Falkland
Islands, i'm the Straits of Magellan, in
order to coal up for the final journey.
The Belgica will then take her course
towards Graham's Land, and will pen
citrate the sea of George " as far as
possible. When ice or land shall fin
ally stop all progress by sea, the ex-
plorers will disembark. put in skis,
pack their sledges and continue their
journey over the ice fields. At the APP
proach of the winter season-that is,
toward March, 1S9S-the Belgica will
sail for Melbourne to reorganize the
crew, if necessary. and TO take on pro-
visions and coal. She will then cruise
in the South Pacific until the follows
ing summer, when, in October, 1898,
she will take her. course toward VIC
toria land. The return voyage will be
made in 1899 by way of Australia, the
Indian ocean and the Suez canal.
The list of scientific problems which
the explorers of the Belgica will study
for two years is very long; it includes
observations and researches in oceanic
photography, in terrestrial magnet
ism, in atmospheric electricity and in
meteorology. 1t is particular aim of
the voyage to find proof for antarctic
phenomena which hitherto have rest
ed solely on theory and hypothesis.
At the fourth geographical con-
gress, held in London, in July, 1895, it
was resolved that 1.-The explorations of
the antarctic regions comprehend some
of the most important geographical
problems to be solved" The Germans.
and then the English, were the first
to respond to this scientific dictum.
The English geographers soon after
obtained the promise of grant of two
vessels and crews from the admiralty.
and a projected expedition received
great impetus from conference held
in London, July Z, last. when before
the assemblage of colonial premiers.

R. W. TURNER'S REPLY
To Mr.. Cranes Article in the Morning
Paper

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Mr.. Crane says he does not under
stand how state uniformity Of textb ooks
6tif1e competition and breeds monopoly.
Let me tell him, under district owner
ship each of the $4,000 districts in the
state would be a customer whose trade
would be sought after by all publishers
of school books, thereby increa sing
competition. Under county uniformity
you reduce the number of customers
from u 900 to 104, the number of coun-
ties in the State-and thereby give to
large and powerful companies better
opportunities for crushing out small
competitions. Under state uniformity
you reduce the mum Der of customers to
one, the state itself, and put all in the
hands of eight men, thereby making it
almost impossible for small companies
to compete, and placing it in the way of
powerful companies to- secure the con-
tracts.
If you have state uniformity you do
not think that at the end of the con-
tract period the people Will be willing
TO cast aside the books in their hands.
OF course not, hence they will insist
that the contract be renewed, and from
time to time this Will be done and the
result will be that the state will have
fastened upon itself a monopoly. 1t will
have placed its entire trade in the hands
of one company and thereby Stified and
annihiliated all competition. So far a.
the other statements of Mr.. Crane are
concerned, do not care to notice them.
Last year the people of my county in
structed their text book committee
against change unless it could be ac-
complished without expense and Mr.
Crane gave new books for old ones and
got the contract.
And I insist with all fairness that if
the bill now pending passes it should re-
Quire new books for old ones. If a five
year contract for a county is worth
such an offer, certainly the state would
be worth it. The legislature was not
elected in either the interest of Mr.
Crane, the American Book company, or
any other publisher.
