Lord Kelvin points out. seamen might
be able to take advantage to get new
and improved routes between the
southern extremities Of South America
Africa and Australia.
So it appears that this expedition,
which will be making its report to the
world at the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth century, viii probably be remem-
bered at the end Of that century as the
most important scientific legacy left to
it by this century

to keep what is now her biggest secret,
so far as geography is concerned.
THE PIONEERS.


THE PIONEERS.
This mainland which Ross touched
| in 1912, he named Victoria Land, and
this is the name printed on the maps
on the fringe of terra frfha jutting out
| from the vast blank space around the
Pole. 1t was he, also, who discovered
Mount Erebus, the volcano designated
on those maps. He discovered like
WISE a great mountain range, and since
then explorers have found VOLCANOES in
eruption on the side of the mountain
opposite Victoria Land
Fifty years ago Borchgrevink, fol-
lowing Ross route, got through the
ice pack into the open ocean in little
over a month, and had the first look at
Victoria Land any one since Ross sail
ed away from it fifty years before. AL
though he managed to get the salts
faction of setting foot on the mainland,
he narrowly missed paying for it with
his life, for the current and the float
ing ice nearly carried him away while
he was trying to return TO his ship.
After sailing back through the open
sea he managed to get through its it's
icy boundary in only six days.
THE COMPASS AND THE POLE.
Geographers are inclined TO think
that the mainland whose outer edges
have been touched by these and other
explorers is asst continent. and that
when well-equipped explorers are once
landed on it progress to the Pole may
not be excessively difficult. No one
cares especially to find the geographic
cal pole, for that is only imaginary,
and probably not in the same place as
the magnetic pole, over which the
needle of the compass will become ex-
actly vertical. Many important inves-
LEGATIONS into the magnetic currents of
the earth can be completed when it is
known definitely what the compass will
do at the south magnetic pole. when

place is learned. II Is even thought
that the deviations and uncertainties
of the mariners compass may be cor
rected when the influence of the polar
currents is known by observation at
their headquarters, so 10 speak.
There is plenty Of other lines Of in
quiry that may be expected to make the
million dollars to be spent on the pro-
posed expedition a good investment.
For instance: Is this supposed CONT
nent, five-eighths as large as the
whole of North America. populated?
If so, it would be by race supposedly
cut of from our own species by per-
iod OF time compared TO which the ere
alton OF Adam, according 10 Bishop
Usher's chronology, took place only
yesterday.
NEW SEALING GROUNDS, MAYBE.
But perhaps that line Of speculation
is rather idle, for recent explorers
haze been able to discern no signs OF
life on the land. except birds and in

that he discovered somewhere in that

was one of the founders of the Cheml-

GOVERNMENT TAKES A HAND IN
1T.
The Royal Geographical Society add
ed to the polar fund thus started until
it had about $500 900. A few weeks
ago delegation of some of the most
distinguished scientists in England
waited upon Mr.. Balfour, First Lord
of the Treasury, to ask him for Gov
eminent support. The delegation was
headed by Sir Clements Markham,
president Of the Royal Geographical
Society. and included Lord Kelvin, Sir
William Crookes, Professor Ray Lam
kester, the Duke of Northumberland
and many others almost as we'll known.
Mr.. Balfour rarely has entertained SO
important a roomful of visitors. He
said he believed such expeditions were
desirable on practical and purely scien-
tific ground, and were especially i'm
purtant when directed toward the An
arctic region, because of its prodigious
area.
The outcome of the visit was that
the government agreed to supply $685.
600 of the 100000 needed if Parlia-
ment approved, and also to supply the
scientific instruments. Since then
