The German antarctic expedition, under
the command Of the Bavarian explorer
Lieut.. Filchner, will leave Germany early
this year for Buenos Aires, and will
proceed from there at the beginning of
October via South Georgia and the Sand
witch Islands to the Weddell sea. The
route has been chosen so as to allow of
oceanographical research on the way,
On arrival in the Weddel sea 1t is pro-
posed to establish base station on the
eastern coast as far south as possible
with the necessary equipment for years
resea rch. \ party of ten men will be
landed, of whom Ska geologist,

who is also a biologist: a cook and a
sailor-will stay in the station. while the
remaining four will undertake a long
Sledge expedition into the interior of the
south polar continent. Meanwhile the ship
will return to the Atlantic ocean to carry
out coastal observations and oceanograp.-
cal work.
Main Objects of Expedition.
The main geographical objects of the
expedition are to determine the distr,
button of land and water. to establish
the coast line of the antarctic continent
and to study the conformation and direc-
ton of the ice. On the oeeanographical
side 1t is proposed to make systematic
observations Of the temperature, the salt
ness and the oxygenation Of the deep
levels along certain lines In the Sargasso
sea. in the Brazilian current and in the
high ATTITUDES. Soundings will be taken
on the Atlantic swell between latitude
zero and 10 N, where none such are
at present available. Further soundings
will be made in the Arge ntine basin
and further south. Observations with
regard to ocean currents viii be carried
out from an anchored boat The meteoro-
logical section of the expedition Will be
fully equipped with apparatus for regis
tering air pressure, temperature, moisture
and wind, and magnetic observations will
be made both at the base station and
on the sledgins expedition.

Lieut.. Fiichner explained his projects
ut a meeting held IN the building of the
general staff. with Prince Henry of Prus-
STA in the chair. Prince Henry expressed
his satisfaction that in the long period
of peace which had been vouchsafed

some Sa6.oJ0 was in hand, of which the
prince regent of Bavaria. the Iatron of
the expedition. had contributed $3.50

amounted to 1880. and the total cost
of the expedition was estimated at $3.50.

LONDON, January 81. 1911.
some interesting statistics Of the coro-
nation may be compiled now that the
routes OF the two professions have been
definitely fixed The route to be traversed
by the procession through London being
over seven miles long, it is estimated tina,
100000 persons or more will be able to
obtain a view.
The sidewalk area over this distance is
about 29O6.6SO square feet. Allowinp two
square feet for each person 1t is held tina.
the sidewalks alone will accommodate

100000 may be added to include the
crowds that will assemble at omen places

places.

no doubt find accommodation for several
thousands more.
Discussion of the Cost.
Another subject for speculation is the
probable cost % i all, for there is TO

 Yet l confess even bankruptcy seems
 welcome as an escape from the norrorB
 of a Pullman where you travel by day
 with two or three score of people, at least
 one of whom is certain to be squalling
 infant and another ubiquitous yorngster
 with lungs and legs in an equal state of activity; where you have to rouse yourself every few minutes to resist the carboys pestiferous attentions; and where tho
 buzz of an incessant movement and con- versation makes reading and dozing alike impossible. But even that pales before the trials that await one at bed time. A Pullman car at night Is the most unciyll- ized thing on the American continent and one of the most indecent. 1t quite fas- cinates my blushes. l sit enthralled as the darky porter strews my seat with other peoples belongings, holds pillow case in his teeth and squeezes the pillow into it, and hurls sheets and mattresses about, and pulls at chains and sliding doors and levers and curtains. And what can be more enchanting than to near hus- band and wife discussing how they shall dispose of themselves for the night, whether they shall share the lower birth or whether he shall be banished to the nest above? And what pleasanter than to be made conscious by the wr1things and heavings and Vigorous protuberances of the curtains that just across the aisle some good lady is engaged in the fearsome struggle to undress? 70 walk the length of a Pullman car at about 10.30 D. m. when most of the berths are made up and when the curtained contortions of those who are in the agony of retiring arc at their worst. and when you butt into strange projections of humanity. and stumble over shoes and dressing cAsea. and try not to stop and watch some ono scaling the heights of an upper birth. 10 on the whole the most deiirious experl- ence l have ever encountered.

Strange to say Thackeray's bitter satire on society, "Cox's Diary" lost hirn not a sinele invitation to dinner from his .'duhes and dukesses,' as he used to call them It was not only when the -Four Georges came out that the dinner cards began to fall off-and the cessation was but temporary.

The hits went so true that everybody recognized hls nextdoor neighbor The Dowager Countess of Tubbanyspinlx would chortle to Lady Blanch Bluenose over the Dig that tha. delightful Mir.

And the Lady Blanch would chortie as mcrrly to the Duches, of Toaster over the fact that her Dowager T,adyship did not recognize her own por- trait when 1t was put down In black and white So with the men-the Coxes and the Punters and the Tagrags-it was tho other fellow that Mir Thackeray was talking about So Thackeray '1ambasted' soeety-and society enjoyed-it immensely ard invited him to dinner.

Thackeray worked not especially for h's time but for posterity. .a He got the best out of life that he could and left be- hind something which makes life better worth living.

about to be put into effect, the whole

adoption OF the ordinance will not
prevent the submission of another
charter amendment later on, when
the amendment to the home rule, per-
