TIE FUTURE OF EXPLORATIONS.


Pole is exploration virtually fnished?'
In tho March number of the North
American Review, Sir Ernest Shackle
ton who came within ninety-scven
geographical miles of reaching the
southern goal. and only turned back
when his supplies had been exhausted
anticipated both its attainment by Scott
or Amundscn. and that question. Also.
hi anticipated the assertion that the
race is over: ergo the work of explora :
ton is done" The question he an
swers positively i'll the negative: the
assertion he antagonizcs most vigor-
ously. Than the conclusion implied in
take could be made, and none more
disastrous in its consequences, should
Il dampen the ardor of exploration.
Sir Ernest believes and contends that
practically exploration has just be-
gun, and fortifcs his position with a
grouping of the worlds yet rcmainin =
TO be conquered. After pointing out
that in and around the ice barriers and
suspected lands of the Arctic region
there is still much beyond the ken OF
man, Sir Ernest turns to Antarotic4.
Impressed that the interior behind its
5000 miles of coast line, an area con-
siderably larger than Europe. is prac-
ucally terra incognitn, few spots only
having been touched by the four en-
petitions that have so far wintcrcd on
the frozen continent. The zone yet
holds most Turing secrets.
Having directed attention to the con
hdence of DR. Mawson that there are
immense mineral deposits in Antarc-
t!ca, and to the determination OF
that explorer and scientist to endeavor
to prove his faith by heading another
expedition into the challenging nold, Sir
Ernest passes to some OF the theories
regarding what further exploration OF
the continent viii disclose among
them these: That there is mountain
chain right across the polar stretch
from Graham Land, tho point nearest
South America. to Mount Erebus and
South Victoria-a continuation of the
South American Andes that n vast
Inland canal extends from the Wcddcn
Sea to Ross Sea. dividing the continent
into eastern and western masses; that
Enderby Land, opposite South Africa,
is II third continental fragment: and,
as opposed to all these. that the CONT
nent is unity. Here are fascinating,
tentative gcoSra phlcal problems TO be
solved. TO say nothing Of geology and
tho contributions to meteorological
science and knowledge possible from
future Investigations. DR.. Mawson
considers it entirely practicable to
make Antarcticn the base for invalu-
able weather predictions affecting AUS
tralia ana India, which may he sent by
wireless.
Sir Ernest passes in review the pro-
jec,ed Scottish national Antarctic ey-
petition, the work OF Chnrcot and its
stimulus to others to emulate him and
broaden the lines Of that French ex-
piorer's research, and then carries us
10 the unknown reaches of the siberian
coast and the unsolved mysteries or
Northern China. ThIbet and Mongolia.

year since he left Keokuk where he
had lived all his life, except when he
was away attending college. Only a
few hours spent in Keolulk on his
present visit surprised him in the
vast amount of improvement made
here since he left and the activity in
that line going on at present. And re-
member, that he comes directly from
Oklahoma, a booming locality where
towns shoot up in day. Observations
coming from an observant young man
from such country, shows that keo-
kuk must be on broader line of pro-
gressiveness than her residents fully
realize.
