Dr. Jean Charcot, the famous French Antarctic explorer, has been testing in the snows of the Alps a motor sled which he proposes to use In another effort to reach the south pole, for which regions he is planning to start In August next It Is his plan to take three motor-drivesledges to aid him In reaching his goal. Each sledge Is furnished with a 24 horsepower motor eonnected with a huge, wide wheel, resembling the propeller of a paddle-boa- t A series of experiments recently carried out by Dr. Charcot on the snowclad declivities of the Haute Alpes, In Dauphiny, have proved remarkably successful, the sledge climbing the hills and dropping down into the valleys at a uniform speed of eight miles an hour, and never getting beyond control. Lieut Barnes of the British navy also has constructed a motor sledge which he cherishes the hope will aid In forcing the secrets of the frozen north, and which It may be his good fortune to drive fairly up to the goal which so many are seeking. Capt Benard, a French naval officer of great experience, Is perhaps the first explorer to make a start this year, he having some time ago left Dunkirk, France, in a sailing vessel called the "Jacques Cartier," for the polar regions. The vessel, which carries a scientific corps of nine men and a crew of eight, is especially built for work In the frozen regions, and Capt Benard will be content to study tho flora and fauna of northern latitudes If he Is unable to make a dash for the north pole Itself. The expedition was planned by a committee for oceanographic research, established in Marseilles some two years ago nnder the presidency of M. Charles Roux, and It Is expected that if Capt Benard does not succeed in bringing he pole back he will bring other things with him which will throw new light on the far northern country. The Shackleton expedition to the Antarctic regions will be watched with peculiar Interest because of tbe test which la to be given the automobile. men started with the Twenty-eigh- t which of number 12 constitute party, what le known as the landing party. After landing on King Edward's land n - 6IDGg. work will be started in accordance with a carefully prepared program, based on past experience. The motor car will be used only over ground which the explorers have first traversed. It will be utilized to haul provisions only. It will go only 25 miles a day, or thereabouts, and will stop when the ponies stop. Shackleton holds to the opinion that it Is an eminently practical Idea. Naturally interest In America cen-- j ters In the Peary expedition, the plana for the trip being already completed and the explorer ie only waiting for the completion of the necessary funds to finance the expedition. In the main Peary expecte to follow the same procedure ae before as to time of. atari acrose . the pack, ' sledging, etc., ' but will somewhat change his route. Peary says: I propose in my next expedition to follow the same program and route as In the last, with such modification se have been suggested by the experience and discoveries of the last expedition. I shall use the same ship, tho Roosevelt; shall leave New York July 1; shall follow the same route north, via Sydney, C. B., Straits of Retie Isle, Davis Straits, Baffin Bay, and Smith Sound; shall use the same methods, equipments and supplies; shall have a minimum party of white men, supplemented with Eskimos and dogs in the Whale Sound region as before, and shall endeavor to force my ship to the same or similar winter quarters on the north side of Grant Land as In the winter of 1905-6- . Wintering here will be essentially the same as in 1905-6- , though I expect next time to avoid the distribution of my dogs and a large portion of my party through the Interior of Grant Land during the winter, enforced in the last expedition by the poisoning d of the whale meat which I had for food for my dogs. The sledge work will begin as before, In February, but my route will be modified as follows: First, I shall follow the north coast of Grant I .and aa far waat as Cape Columbia, and possibly beyond; instead" of leaving the land at Point Moss, as I did before. pur-chase- Second, leaving the land, my course will be more west of north than before, In order to counteract or allow for the easterly set of the Ice between the north coast of Grant Land and the pole, discovered during my last expedition. "Another essential modification will be a more rigid massing of my sledge divisions en route, In order to prevent the possibility of a portion of the party being separated from the rest by the movement of the ice, with insufficient supplies for a protracted advance, as happened on the last expedition. The main features of the above program are, first, the utilization of the Smith Sound or American route. Second, the selection of a winter base which commands a wider range of the central polar sea and Its surrounding coasts than any other poeelble base In tbe Arctic regions. o Third, the use of sledgea and doge. Man and the Eskimo dog are the only two machines capable of such adjustment as to meet the wide demands and contingencies of Arctic travel. Airships, motor cars, trained polar hears, etc., are all premature, except as a means of attracting public Ee-klm- attention. |
