The Southern Gross which Is a steam

sphere is the midsummer season. Capt.
Borchgreyink intends to put his scientific ex-
perts and their camp equipage ashore as coon
as the ice will permit and then send or take
the Southern Cross back to Australia for the
ensuing winter. The explorers have planned
to make variety Of magnetic and other OBJ
servations without proceeding far from camp,
but certain members Of the party wish to
push southwark sIedges, for which pur-
pose they have taken seventy or eighty dogs

Little or nothing has been heard from the
party which went out last summer In the
Belg1ca, under the leadership OF Lieut.
Adrien de Gerlaebe, to explore the Antarctic
regions. 1t is not unlikely that the English
expedition will find some trace OF 1t withinI
the next few months. Like the Gerlache
party, the company which goes in the South
ern Cross intends to spend two summers and
q winter on land, their ship coming back for
them twelve or fifteen months after putting
them ashore. Every one Of the English party
is accustomed to roughing 1t, and no private
expedition has ever been as admirably
equipped for polar research as this. Sir
George Newnes Is its financial hacker and
science has much to hope from 1t.

She tells a disconnected story of her

The last week has been warm and wet,
with less than the normal amount of sun
shine.
The average daily temperature excess
ranged from 4 degrees in the southeastern
portion to Q degrees in the western. The
maximum temperatures generally ranged
from SO degrees to 81 degrees, and the min
imum from 40 degrees to 46 degrees.
The rainfall was generally above normal,
except In n few central counties, where the
total weekly amount was less than a quarter
of an inch. The rainfall exceeded an inch
in a large portion of the state and exceeded
two inches in several small areas.
The last week has been favorable for the
growth OF small grain and grass, but some
what less favorable for corn. Rye Is gem
orally headed out and is in bloom in south
ern counties; winter wheat is heading out;
both have a thick stand and have made IA
very rank growth. In a few cases winter
wheat Is beginning to lodge In southeastern
counties. Meadows and pastures, including
the ranges IN the western counties, are in
exceptionally good condition. Most of the
corn is planted. but in nearly all counties a
few fields are yet implanted. The early
planted corn is coming. up, with q fair to
good stand. and cultivation has commenced.
The heavy showers Of the week washed out
some corn and replanting will be necessary.
