One Of the supposed niceties OF speech
which to many ears seem overnice Is
the pronunciation Of the word pro
gram when the French termination

to shorten the sound Of the "a" with

Exploring New Guinea.

According to European advices, DR.
a, i. L. Wollaston has penetrated, for
the first time in the history of ex-
pioratlon, to the great snow range of
New Guinea and has assembled Mount
Carstensz. From the spot where the
expedition landed to the highest point
reached was only sixty miles, but al
most incessant rain, swollen rivers,
and the difficult country made the
work SO hard that to cover this APP
parently short distance occupied four
and a half months.
DR.. Wollaston left England year
ago for the purpose of ascending
Mount 9Carstensz. the highest peak of
the, Nassau range in Dutch New
Guinea. which was the objective of the
important expedition of three years
ago of which DIR. Wollaston was
member, but which did not succeed in
its attempt. On this occasion canoes
were made by Dyaks attached to the
party, and the Utakwa river was as
cended for two days beyond the base,
but thereafter the expedition travelled
by land Depots were established
three days travel apart, the first being
three days march up the foothills OF
the snow range. From the fourth
depot the ascent was made to the
snow line. Progress was very slow,
the ridges being appallingly steep and
the track rough. In the high noun
tains the sun was never visible except
for an hour in the morning. and the
travellers were always in the clouds.
At about five thousand feet the ex-
petition met some curious but friendly
folk of smallish stature, who showed
the travellers their track and helped
them. They were not, however, pyg-
mics. The highest point d5,eoo feep
was reached after five days march
from the last base. The rain descended
in continuous torrent, and although
Mount carstensZ is almost exactly on
the equator, the fog-ladeE air was
freezingly cold. During the ascent a.
fine panorama WAS observed. but the
mist again closed in, and when the
party was within very short distance
OF the top the steer ice and dense log
necessitated a retreat. Two attempts to
reach the actual summit were made,
