Berlin. May 21.-"Still going TO the pole
excellency?" German satirical paper
asks Count Zeppelin, who is shown in a
cartoon ruefully contemplating the latest
wreck OF one Of the airships that bear
his name.
More serious criticisms Of the proposed
zeppelin-Hergesell arctic expedition by
air ship have Just appeared in the Clio
bus, a scientific periodical, and are writ
ten by Theodore Lerner a well-lmOwn
champion of aeroplaning. as opposed TO
dirigible ballooning. The writer first
points out that the aerial Journey from
Germany to Cross Bay, the proposed base
on Spitzbergen, would take eight days
and would mean calculated consump-
ton OF 10000 cubic meters OF gas. the
contents Of 1900 gas bottles, and also Of
2, 500 Kilograms Of benzine and lubri-
cants. This quantity he argues, is too
large for the carrying capacity Of the
Zeppelin cruiser and its auxiliary air
ship.
No Margin Left.
Lerner then proceeds 10 show that the
Zeppelln's radius Of action cannot exceed
1000 miles under the best conditions; that
is just 20 the pole and back, with no mar
gin. but il is more likely 10 be limited 10
100 miles, even with favorable wind.
Zeppelin's critic further deals with the
contingency OF the air ship or its motors
suffering damage while floating over the
arctic regions. The rescue of the crew
would not be an easy matter, he thinks.

reserve air ship.

Land and near Cape Cheliuskin, on the

With Gulf Stream Drift BcIated, An
other Cold summer Is Predicted.

London, May Z.-What IS the matter
with the Gulf Stream? The snow and

that in England we are 10 have sum
mer like last years, which was abnor-
mally cold and wet.
DR.. BasSett advances the hypothesis
that the abnormal weather of last year
is directly traceable to the late arrival
of the Gulf Stream drift. coupled with it's
usually low temperature. due probably TO
the admixture of arctic water Of low
salinity. From recent photographic OBJ
servations made earlier this year DR..
Bassett deduces the theory that the Gulf
Stream drift is again late this year, with
the result that England is to have a cold
summer.
