BRUSSELS. January % 1906.

BRUSSELS, January II, 1905.
ut is interesting to follow the develop
ment of a great idea. More than six
years have now passed since NJ Hen
ryk Arctowski, the Belgian explorer,
first laid before the public his daring
project for mapping out the field of interna-
tional exploration in the antarctic regions.
This was in 1899. when Nj. Arctowski de-
scribed his plan before the meeting of the
British Association held at Dover. He was
then freshly returned from the antarctic
regions, and the renown which already at
tached to his name for the valuable work
he had done as scientist on board the Bel
gica on its voyage toward the south pole,
and during the long antarctic night, which
the explorers on the Belgian vessel were
the first TO brave, secured him the attention
of the scientific world and that of travellers
and explorers
NJ. Arctowskis project was then already
clearly sketched, both as to the great ends
TO be worked for and the means of attain
ing them II was no longer the discovery
of new lands alone and the observation or
their configuration for which exploring yes
Ees should be fitted out. The geology OF
these lands. said M Arctowski, must be
studied, and also the glaciers and the con-
dltiou of the sea ice which surrounds them.
The various physical sciences had 10 be
utilized, taking account OF magnetic and
meteorological conditions, fauna. flora. etc,

absolutely wipe out the land monopoly

of the great crying evils of England. and
all land would be forced into use. If 1t
were not used, the community that had
made 1t valuable would tax it and get value
from It.

Ruths sister Rose, and she has not told

The thing for Adeiine or any other girl
to do in this instance is to show her boy

Nevertheless, M. Arctowski did not lose
courage. and the following year he again
laid his plans before the German Associa-

which met at Paris. Still, the time was
not ripe, and when the international geo.

practical steps had been taken to carry out

Washington congress on lines nearly the

meeting of the British association, and
again the scientific world listened with at

power to their aid. Scott and his COM
panions, as DR.. Mill relates In his work on
THE Siege of the South Pole found on
disembarking at their ice quay that there
stretched before them fiat surface of ice
barrier, extending for hundreds of miles,
and free from hummocks or crevases. 1t
was over this ice plain that the English ex
plorers Travelled for $50 miles, slow jour-
ney of flfty-nine days, crowded with hard
SHIPS which nothing but "indomitable Will
enabled them to surmount.
At the end of the fifty-nine days these de-
termined explorers were forced to turn their
backs on the unexpored land which stretch
ed before them, their supply of food being
SO reduced that they could only hope to
reach their ship in safety If no retarding
chance befell them and If they were able
to exist with never full meal during all
the long tramp back.

stead of the wheels usually associated with
motors in our climes.
NJ. Arctowski is busy at the present time
perfecting the last details of his plans, the
question of the construction of motors suit
able for the work required of them along
the ice barrier has been taken up by en-
gineers, and 1t is very probable that even at
the time of the meeting of the polar ex
plorers in May all the details of the pre-
liminary expedition will be worked out
Besides the interest which attaches to it
from the novelty of the idea NJ. Arc ;owskis
project for the use of motor power on the
zee barrier Is most likely to prove of great
value BY the use of motors instead of dog
or hand-drawn sledges not only can speedy
and safe transit be attained, but also heavy

In the suburbs of places like London, where
building lots are commanding high figures
simply because the London street cars and
