Latest Scheme to Reach the Pole.

Two German explorers are planning
tn go to the north pole in submarine
boats. They think 1t will be easier to
steam under the ice pack and come
out at or near the pole than to climb
over the pack with dog sledges. They
are not afraid of getting lost, for they
intend to use wireless telegraphy to
keep in communication with their base
of supplies. Let us hope that they
may be more successful than Andre,
who sailed away in a balloon TO find
the pole and has not been heard of
since.
