He proposes to explore the Ant arctic coasts with a small party, pro- vided with sledges and dogs. Travel | ling would be mainly on the sea ice, and they would rely on the Weddell! seal for most of their food and ali their | The party would consist of six good | men--the leader (who should be al rngvigator and surveyor), the second in| command (who should also be a navi gator), a geologist and mineralogist, a ---- Mistress hearing a crash): --"Well, broken!"

This obstacle could be circumvented by plercing thé mountain ranges and ascending to tie plateau behind thems by way of a gia cler, afterwards descending to the sea again by another glacier. This system of exploration might be applied to any part of the Antarctic cogsts, but the region which Dr. Mae kay is most anxious to investigate is that lying between Craham Land and King Edward VII Land, and the dis tance, between these two places is roughly 2.006 miles. Dr. Mackay puts the average day's run at 10 miles. He believes thal 4 ship should bé able to land an exploring party ia Graham Land or Alexander I. Land about the beginning of December. He estimates that the tolal cost of the expedition neéd not exc $100,000, and consid- ers that bis 18 could be admirably put into executioff in tonnection with or as part of such an expedition as Dr. Bruce proposes, AAA AA cook, what is Jt now?

He told all these things, not to his usual knglish congregation, but in a sermon in a Germaa church in London the other dav. Germany, he-said, was » the most patriotic land in all Europe, and its Catholic population was the most patriotic party i: the empire. And if the great Central party in Ger AAA AAA SAA ALAA A many was the recoguized 'patriotic party, in the best sense of the word, the reason of if, he continued, was not far to seek.
