The numerous expeditions to the
north pole or therea bouts, either
planned or under way, go to show
that the game is fully as popular as
ever. 1t is not that the explorers
care rap about the pole, or what is
to be found there. But it is safe to
assume that they are fond of adven-
ture, and without doubt they are fond
of notoriety. Hence the money ex-
pended and the risks taken for a pur-
pose that promises no great material
benefit to the world.
