TO THE POLE IN AN AUTOMOBILE.

DR. Frederick A. Cook hopes to visit the Ant
arctic regions again within the next few years,
and. II he does. perhaps he will take along
two three automobiles of special design, to
use In his hunt for the South Pole. BY
proper combination of wheels and runners on
such vehicles he thinks il might be feasible to
make good progress over the surface of the
tinent which he aims to traverse.
The general plan which all Arctic and Ant
arctic explorers have pursued is to go first by
ship to some convenient point which is within
a few hundred miles of their ultimate destina-
ton and from that base of operations make
the final dash with other means OF transpOrta-
tion. Franz Josef Land and SpiHbergen have
been repeatedly used I'm this fashion: and Peary
hoped 10 reach the northern coast of Grant
Land last September a preliminary to his
further venture this spring. Hitherto though,
II has been customary TO rely SIedges drawn
by dogs for the last stage of the work of such
expeditions. But better modes of conveyance
can undoubtedly be found. Wellman intends to
/ try an airship. perhaps this year and Cook is
considering the question whether or not an auto
mobile would likewise be an Improvement on the

HUDSON RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.

most engaging proposition is that now
made for the extension of the good work of
the Palisades Commission northward along the
west bank of the Hudson River continuously
TO Stony Point, thus providing practically
unbroken parkway. between thirty and forty
miles i'm length through siugularly attractive
scenery and preserving from spoliation some
of the most precious bits of landscape in the
whole metropolitan district. The benefits that
would thus be secured for the public would be
great and the cost would he practically nothing
TO the public since it is understood it would he
met by private muniCfence
Some opposition to the scheme has been mani
tested on entirely mistaken grounds Men have
apparently imagined that the entire water
front was to be taken for exclusive park pur-
poses thus destroying the commercial and in
dustrial interests of Nyack and Haverstraw
and shutting Rockland County away from the
river. OF course. no such notion has ever been
entertained. The plan is to take for park reser-
vations merely the unimproved forest land and
steep hllsides and TO connect these with
continuous improved road. corresponding with
the Albany Post Road. on the eastern bank
of the river There would be no interference
with the river trade Of Nyack or with the
brckyards Of Haverstraw.
On the contrary, such conservation of the
forest lands and such creation Of a great park
road would be OF much advantage TO the river
communities. making them more attractive rs
places of residence and bringing to them multi
tudes Of visitors There is really the best OF
ground for local approval Of the project and
for the exercise of local we'll of general
influence in its behalf.

400 miles from the Pole.
The success of the Brooklyn explorers scheme
would seem to depend mainly on his having
gasolene enough TO keep his machine running
from 1900 to 1900 miles. He must OF course,
provide for his return trip to his ship. ana 1t
might be found necessary to take all he re-
quired at the start An alternative to this plan
would he to make a series of trips in advance,
for the purpose of depositing stores for future
use. If in either of these ways he can COM
mand all the fuel he will be obliged TO con-
sumo. the greatest difficulty of his enterprise
would seem TO be surmounted.

THE DOG on WHEELS.

followed by ancient dog answering to the
name Of Ginger. Ginger in some ways cut

ment of the dachshund altering into his consti-
tuition he turned out in some ways small one.
All hts legs were too short. and his keel, so to
