MOTOR SLEDGE MAY END
TRIALS OF POLAR QUEST.
Scott Antarctic Expedition Seeks Icy
Goal by Aid of Novel Mod
ern invention.

The most pertinent feature Of the
British antarctic expedition under Cap
tain Robert Scott, which sailed recent
ly and expects to reach the south pole
in December. 1911, is the motor sledge
Captain Scott admits that the main
object of his expedition is to reach
the south pole and obtain for the Brit
ish empire the honor Of that achieve
ment" In an interview on his plans
he said:
THE problem of reaching the south
pole from wintering station is one Of
there and back is about 1900 miles
The time at disposal in a single season
is about $50 travelling days. An aver
age Of ten miles a day can be easily
maintained by men, provided adequate
transport arrangements are made.
There are three means by which the
traction for heavy sledge loads can be
provided-viz. ponies. dogs and mo-
tors-and each must be considered not
only with regard TO capacity Of work,
but also with respect to the changes
in the nature of the track.
1.-THE motor sledge is a new develop
ment and bids fair to become the most
promising means Of polar transport.
AS result of two years experiments
a motor sledge has been evolved which
has undergone satisfactory trials on
the SHOWS Of Norway. A motor was

BURIED TREASURE GOOD FAD"
London Nearly Torn Apart Seeking
Sir George Newnes' Gold.

Or george NcWncS SOId.
The recent death of Sir George
Newnes. proprietor Of the Westminster
Gazette, founder Of the company own
ing Tit-Bts and the Strand Magazine
and donor of the international chess
trophy bearing his name will recall to
many the buried treasure" method by
which he advertised his publications
in London Il few years ago.
1t was announced that tube con-
tanning 800 sovereigns had been buried
in some secret place. the clew to which
was contained in story published in
the Strand. The resulting excitement
can be imagined All England was
turned upside down Then came the
announcement that another deposit of
ten lots OF 600 each had been made.
Something in the story seemed to
point TO Trafalgar square as the place
where the treasure was buried. and
the police had Ia be- called out TO stop
the eager treasure hunters. Houses
were pulled down. shops invaded by
persons who insisted that they be al
lowed to burrow under the floors, and
traffic was held up while the gold crazy
horde measured off distances with
tapes
Finally IL looked rs II they might
tear down the Nelson column. 1t was
then that the police interviewed end put
a stop to the plan. but the Newnes
publications had already gained a ire
mendous amount of free advertising.
