party to a deadly and horrible end
Not one case occurred on the Fran.
But 1t is not for the food alone that
the equipment of this Antarctic expe-
dition is remarkable. Guns, skis, kay
axis, snow shoes, ice axes, sledges, furs,
sleeping bags, instruments-all have
been selected with a view to the work
in contemplation, and are really a re-
markable collection. The ninety Sa-
moyed dogs alone cost close on to &c.
900, and to gather them an agent was
specially dispatched to Siberia, MAX
ing a journey of 1000 miles for the pur-
pose. Sir George Newnes placed $780,
600 at the disposal of Borchgrevink to
outfit the expedition.
Mr.. Borchgrevink expresses himself
very hopeful that most valuable re-
suits will be the issue of the expedition
In 1871 Sir James Ross first sighted
the vast ice fields which he called Vic
toria Land. He made the best of his
way around a small bit of the coast,
saw and named Mount Erebus, a vol
cano 1900 feet in height, Mount Ter
ror and many other points But his
passage to the interior was barred by
a lofty ice wall, which seemed to pro-
hibit all attacks upon it. Mr.. Borch-
grevink, who was the first man to land
there since those remote days, regards
this barrier with less diffidence. His
appliances will enable him to storm it.
and when once atop he hopes to find a
vast table land Of snow, over which
he and his men, his dogs and his
sledges will make their way.

feet high.
Taking into account that, according
to hansen, the ice walls (toroSeS) in
the Arctic basin seldom attain the
height of 25 feet, and that the Polar
Sea is free from ice over, at least,
third of its surface, while all the ice
is weakened in summer by thawmS,
and especially by interior canals due
to accumulations of salt, and by crew
an ice breaking steamer of 10000 horse
power would overcome all the 1ifficul-
ties which polar ice may oppose to her
progress.
The distance between the latitude of
rs degrees north to the pole being ~
miles he calculates the various speeds
at which such steamer could make
her way through ice of various thick
nesses from four to seven feet, and he
finds that the total distance could be
, covered in twelve days.
! Moreover, instead of one ice breaker
I of $4,000 horsepower, it would be ad-
vantageous to have two such vessels
of 10000 horsepower each, 1t having
lately been proved by actual expert
/ ment in Russia that two ice breakers

TO THU NORTH POLE
BY ICE BREAKER.

An ordinary steamer could no more
force a passageway through the ice
fields in this part of the world than it
could instantly convert Itself into fly
ing machine.
The general appearance of the hull
of an ice breaker differs little from an
ordinary steamer But it is built
OF heavy steel and its prov is heavily
armored. Each vessel is fitted with
twin screws at the stern and single
large screw at the prov. The engines
are of the finest and the horsepower is
always very high

find it out. They have range finders of
their own. but none that give the same
instantaneous and accurate results.
And as long as they can be kept in
the dark we shall be able to outshoot
any nation on earth, even if there was
no difference in the skill of the gun
ners.'
There is another advantage in the use
of the instrument which amounts to
considerable in the course of half
dozen naval engagements. 1t costs
s1360 to fire pair of 13-inch guns once.
If the Spaniards go into fight they
must fire at least two shots to secure
the range. Frequently these do not
answer, and they go on shooting $3.50
charges in the air, while every pound
of powder that goes into the United
States gun is utilized. The ability of
the American gunners to obtain the ex-
act position of the enemy before a gun
is fired saves thousands of dollars in
ammunition in every engagement.

TO THE SOUTH POLE
BY DOG TEAM.

J" HE fine steam bark Southern
Cross has just sailed on her adj
venturous voyage to reach the
south pole. The desolate regions
which girdle the southern end of
the axis upon which our globe is
ever spinning have the great merit of
offering a terra incognita to the ex
plorer. c. E. Borchgrevink, who will
lead the expedition, tells us that he
would not be surprised to find a new
race of men. Who knows, then, that
he may not bring an Antarctic de
Rougemont back with him? No polar
bear has ever been seen in these white
wildernesses. But there is no reason
why that animal may not be encoun-
tered-a new variety.
It is the supposed absence of mann
mails, however, in the interior which
will form one of the chief difflcultles Oh
the expedition. A mere tablold IS out
an Indifferent substitute for a pear
steak hot and smoking. Luckily, now
ever, the country teens with sea plrus'
and these and their eggs viii be large
ly used to supplement the Dounteous
stores which Sir George Newnes, VINO
has generously fitted out the expeul-
ton, has crammed into the hold OF the
Southern Cross. From morn till night
there are being slowed away an ahldZ-
ing variety of foodstuffs.
The vessel in which the venture Will
be made was originally whaler and
sealer, and since her purchase has been
for many months in the hands OF conn
Archer, who built the Fran, Nansen
famous ship that became ice packed
in the search for the north pole. The
Southern Cross is really almost smart
enough for yacht; spick and span
from keel to crows nest with roomy
cabins. saloon and forecastle; splendid
ly equipped with everything that Arctic
adyenturer could require.
The expedition consists of thirty-two
men all told, including six scientists,
and in addition to being furnished with
an equipment very similar to that taken
by the polar expedition under Sverdrup
is provided with over eighty Siberian
dogs including some ten Greenland
animals which were once owned by the
late Eivind Astrup. The master, Ber-
nard Jensen, is an experienced ice navi-
gator, and was mate Of the Antarctic

wink at Cape Adair The principal Of
ficers are as follows: Carsen Egeberg

gian), surgeon; Nicolai Hanson (Nor-
wegian) and Hugh Evans (British sub

sides making pendulum observations,
taking meteorological data, etc.
THE whaler will return to Australia
or Tasmania, both because it would be
safer for the vessel and because 1t
could do so valuable work among the
islands between Australia and Victoria
Land during the latter part of the An
tipodean winter. 1t would be safer. be-
cause it would avoid the danger Of the
ice pressure in winter and because 1t
could start fresh for Victoria Land
the succeeding spring for the purpose
of bringing the members Of the expe-
dition back to civilization.
I'm geological direction I expect great
discoveries to be made, especially on
the Victoria continent itself So far we
know that the Antarctic circle is the
home of fish, whales, seals and birds OF
the most widely different kinds, but
undoubtedly there are also in those re-
gions hitherto unknown mammals"

ers will have the end of the summer
(the seasons, of course, being reversed)
and autumn to make things snug, climb
the ice wall and get the hang of the
country before the long and dreary
winter sets in. The Antarctic spring,
that is about September, 1890, they will
expect the Southern Cross.
According to the plan adopted the
land party and sea party will then join
forces and make a bold dash for the
pole.
Mr.. Borchgrevink goes with the
strong belief that Victoria Land may
prove another Greenland. Nansens
chief difficulty in that venture was the
landing. Once ashore he, too, had
an ice wall to surmount, and having
reached 1t found the vast table land
over which he and his men sailed and
sledged to the other side. OF course
there is no "other side" to Victoria
reach it, Antartica covering an area of
some ten million square miles But if
there is plateau no matter how
scored with crevasses, they should give
q good account Of themselves.
Here is what Mr.. Borchgrevink has
to say of the venture: while the main
object of the expedition will be to COL
lect scientific data, full attention will
also be given to further investigation Of
the commercial possibilities of the
southern seas, of the islands and Of the
shores of Victoria Land, and the ship
will therefore be fitted out with the ne
cessary implements for such research

WHY OUR NAVY
SHOOTS SO WELL

~ INCE the welcome news Of Admir-
al Dewey's remarkable victory at
Manila on the LIST of May 1t has
~ been a matter for wonder every
where, not less in the United States
than in Europe, that the American
gunners were able to destroy Spanish
squadron in Spanish harbor without
the loss of a single American life. When
history repeated itself at Santiago two
months later the wonder was intensi-
fed.
In the Government building at the
Trans Mississippi Exposition is an ex-
hibit which in q measure explains the
mystery. This is a naval range finder,
the invention Of United States naval
officer. Up to date no one outside of
Uncle Sans service has been able to
discover how 1t Is operated. The in
strument is shown in a glass case with
various other nautical paraphernalia,
and of course the attendants refuse to
answer questions as to it's method Of
working.
One Of the naval officers in charge Of
the exhibit says:
