ANThRTIC EXPLORATIONS.
Results of n Scientific Expedition
That Has just Returned

The report of Explorer Borchsreyinck
who was sent to the antarctic in the In
tercst Of science IN the auxiliary screw
bark Southern Cross has been received at
San Francisco.
An island was discovered and named
Duke OF York Island. on this Journey the
lowest temperature registered was exper-
fenced, namely. ffty-two degrees below
zero
Subsequently. expeditions from Robert
son Bay were dispatched during August
and September. with the result that yalua

1T may here suffice to say" remarked
BorChgrevnick, that minerals of great
value occur in this vicinity, and that un-

receive that support from commerce which

that the future antarctic exploration will

of water.
The Test Gun.
The gun to be tested weighs f1fty-nine
tons, or four tons less than one Of our H.
inch navy guns 1t Is forty-four feet in
length, with an 1s-inch bore. the exterior
dimensions being about like that of the L.
inch guns now constructed, so that 1t can
be mounted on a 12-inch gun carriage. The
total weight Of the torpedo shell is 1sO0
pounds, carrying 625 pounds of wet gun
cotton The muzzle velocity Is about 200
feet per second fired with smokeless pow
der made under Claimants formula.
Gathmann calls this his ideal gun, as It
has been his aim for years TO construct
guns of this type, SO that 1t will not be nee
essary to hit a target or object more than
once, even should it be the heaviest of bat
tie ships.
The cost and weight of the aerial torpedo
gun is about one-half that of the 16-inch
army rifle. while the efficiency claimed for
it is more than three times greater. At
long range the difference is said to be still
greater in favor OF the aerial torpedo SyS-
TEN.
a great number of hits from ~ or 1G-inch
guns is by no means equivalent to placing
vessel out of action. The vitals of modern
men-of-war are not easily reached by pres
ent types of guns, but it is asserted that
one blow from the aerial torpedo gun will
be fatal under most all conditions, par
ticularly if the heavy armor belt receives
the blow.
Before Naval Committee.
At a meeting of the committee on naval
affairs, before Gathmann had received the
appropriation of Congress of $4,000 for
building the lS-inch gun, the Senate made
thorough investigation. and questioned,
among others. the late r. B. Dashed. as
sistant naval constructor, as to his opinion
of the safety and efficiency of the Gath
mann gun. Mr.. Dashiell said that as an
officer of an experimental station he had
