There will be nothing to designate the
pole when it is reached, except the OBJ
servations which fix the geographical
point. The explorer takes frequent OBJ
servations of the sun along his route to
determine his latitude and longitude.
BY computation he should know when
he has reached the earth's apex.
The series Of observations are after
ward corrected whenever the exploring
party reaches the base of operations or
wherever the standard thermometer is
left. Peary, for example, who is now
in the north, and may have reached the
pole, has with him six thermometers
rated for different times, and showing
Greenwich mean time, Washington
mean time, and one rated at some con-
yenient camp, and indicating the local
time Of that place. BY this chrono-
meter his more northern observations
would be computed, with corrections or
errors added or eliminated, this to indi-

an explorer had reached the pole could
be proved from his observations. and

reach the limit Of latitude. His expe-

supply on Western Greenland. from
which he was scheduled to make a 400
mile dash for the pole.
The Russian expedition which has
been equipped for the discovery of the
pole, has winter quarters in Matthew
Strait and it's main objective is Nova
Zembla. with possible advances farther
northward.
The Norwegian expedition now is
supposed to be locked in the vicinity of

lieutenant of Explorer Nansen, and the
