A Race to the North Pole.

After the disastrous failure Of some
attempts a few years since to reach
the North Pole it was predicted that
efforts to penetrate the polar mys-
terry would be abandoned So far
from this prediction being realized,
there are now more expeditions than
ever in the Arctic, on the way there
or preparing to start, each having the
pole for it's real objective, although
not all are avowedly bound for that
point.
Seven nations are competing for the
chilling honor Of highest north"
Peary represents the United States,
and there is a bare possibility that
he has already won the prize, though
whether he will return to prove his
claim is uncertain. Evelyn B. Bald
win also represents the United States,
and has set out with firm purpose
to push on to the Pole. Admiral Mar
akoff is also on his way with the for
midable ice breaking steamer Ermak,
which flies the Russian flag. The Ger
man Captain Banendahl is somewhere
near Spitzbergen, and the Swedish
explorer, Otto Sverdrup, is in Ellis
mere land, both of these experienced
Arctic explorers being ready to avail
themselves of any favorable oppor-
tunity to make dash to the Pole.
The other aspiranr for polar honors
are Capt. J. E. Bernier of England,
DIR. Brithjof Nansen of Norway, and
the Duke of Abruzzi, Italy.
Possibly one or other of these may
solve the mystery of the Pole. 1t may
be that the failure of some of them
to return may add more mysteries to
those which darken the pages of Arc
