It reminds one of the conqueror Cortez burning his ships behind him. On previous expeditions with the pole as goal the explorers have laid a succession of bases upon which they could depend Sir Ernest will push straight onward, from sea to sea, not reckoning at all on the possibility that an expedition may come a little way to meet him. For several years Sir Ernest held the record of approaching closer to the South pole than any other man. He feels keenly the dimming of British fame by the exploits of Amundsen and Peary. With no more poles to conquer, he might well sit down and weep, like Alexander the Great But Instead he has set himself this unique feat The news that Sir Ernest expects to come to the United States before leaving for the south seas has stirred great interest among Americans over plans for the, exploring expedition. Sir Ernest is very popular here, where he has lectured extensively. It Is probable that wealthy Americans will add considerably to the funds of his expedition. He started on his last expedition $100,000 In debt. It took him two years after his return to pay off this debt and it was hard work, too. This time he has resolved not to run Into debt again. He has $250,000 guaranteed by a friend whose name has not been made public. This sum he will make do if necessary, but he will be able to carry on sclentlflc work much more extensively if he can obtain a further sum of $100,000. Sir Ernest has announced that he will experiment with aeroplane motors and propellers for travel over the snow this winter, his laboratories to be In Canada or Siberia. He hopes to perfect this novel substitute for the Eskimo dog, which he will also pse, and the hardy Shetland pony. Besides aeroplanes and parts of aeroplanes, Shackleton will take advantage of wireless, the movies, prepared foods, and many other of the newest Inventions. He believes he will have the most perfectly planned expedition that ever set out, and as he himself helped to equip many others expeditions and has been a member of several, he ought to IR ERNEST L. D. S. Spring y know. Sir Ernest Shackleton Is now In the prime of life, a splendid man physically and possessing an Inspiring presence. He is a born leader. He makes all about him enthusiastic, especially when the fire of memories of the frozen south moves him. He Is forty years old pictures taken of him on his antarctic trips before he has had a while in his shave make him appear sixty-fivstreet clothes on the Strand he appears a virile thirty. To the layman It may be surprising to learn that there are 5,000,000 square miles of Unknown territory on the continent of Antarcttaa. This gives an Idea of the possibilities of discovery open to Sir Ernest. More than half his Journey is said to be laid along a new route and, If '.hli.gs go right, almost all of it will traverse virtln fields. It Is no overstatement to call It the biggest polar journey ever attempted. Briefly stated, It will cross the dead continent of snow, mountain ranges, volcanoes and frightful storms from the side of the Western hemisphere to the side of the Eastern hemisphere. The main party will leave civilization at Buenos Ayres and reach It again In Christchurch, or some other New Zealand city. The start will be from Argentina In October of this year, and If a good landing in made on tbv shore of Weddell sea by the beginning of November, a shore party will proceed immediately across. In this case the expedition should reach Ross sea, on the other side, by March, 1915. But if the shore party has hard luck. It will content itself with laying a series of caches and will then return to the Weddell sea shore, starting out again a year later. The expedition will have two ships. The first, which carries Shackleton to the Antarctic continent, will do work In tracing the shore of the continent to the west, and will go back to South America before the close of navigation, returning the next year to take up a party which will winter on the shore of Weddell sea and carry out "Weddell quadscientific work n the rant Long Bledge Journeys will be taken east and west of the base by this party. The second ship will approach the continent from the other, or Ross sea, side, and take back Shackleton, according to his plans.

Otherwise, it will be a year later. This second vessel will sail from New Zealand about the. same time as the Weddell sea ship sails south. On landing at a prearranged base, the second party will send a sledging expedition as far south as possible, to latitude S3, If practicable, but this expedition will return In time to go north again before the close of navigation. The expedition will endeavor to lay a series of depots along what may be the last stages of Shackleton route. But Shackleton will not depend on them In any way. They may not be laid at all.- If Shackleton doesn't arrive this season, the second ship will return south the next year again. Five months is the time Shackleton estimates -- a necessary for his crossing of the south polar continent. He allows ten days for delays by blizzards. The minimum distance from sea to sea is 1,700 miles, but It Is probable that Sir Ernest will try to cover new ground throughout and so go much farther. The transarctlc party, as Sir Ernest calls it, will begin Its Journey with 120 dogs, two sledges driven by aeroplane propellers with aeroplane engines, and an aeroplane with clipped wings to "tarrl" over the Ice. But a large part of the work of transport will be by dogs. Dogs will eat their fellows flesh, while ponies will noL Motor sledges have been found to be practically useless In the Antarctic, as the amount of work put on the engine when passing over varying surfaces generally causes the motor to break down. Sir Ernest proposes to build an ordinary sledge, larger than the usual size, and on this to mount an aeroplane engine, with an aeroplane propeller In front. He figures that a sledge of this description is capable of dragging a ton at five or six miles an hour. Instead of one sleeping bag, each explorer will carry three, so that when one Is Iced up It can be discarded. The tents will be made of three-plwood, strong enough to support a covering of snow, thus Insuring more warmth. The full complement of the short party will be 12 men, and six of these will make the Journey across. Both of the ships will be fitted to burn oil Instead of coal, as the liquid fuel extends the radius of action and renders the vessels independent of ballast. The ships, which will carry 30 men altogether, will be fully equipped with cages and tanks for bringing home live penguins and seals, such as have never been taken from the antarctic regions. Each ship will have a biologist, geologist and physicist, and the three from the flrat ship will be stationed in her winter quarters In the Weddell HOLLANDS NEW LAND Little Holland Is about to begin the great work of draining the Zuyder Zee. It is expected that 17 years will be required to make the entire area now covered by water fit for habitation and cultivation. About 24,700 acres of land land are already being annually reclaimed, and this reclamation Is likely to continue for about ten years. The reclaimed lands of the Zuyder Zee will ,e sold by the state ha small lota and gradually, so as not to depress existIt is estimated that at least 40,000 persons will be required to cultivate this reclaimed sea land, which will be used for the growing of root crops, sugar beets, potatoes, peas and other vegetables. It Is estimated," says La Gazette de Holland, that the value of these crops wiM be nearly $30,000,000. The present Zuyder Zee fisheries employ $,017 ing prices 2gBT CCmgRTASIg dome-shape- d quarters. The aeroplane with clipped wings will not be able to fly. Its wings will take practically all the weight of? the wheels. Wireless and moving picture outflte will not be carried, it. Is expected, ou the transcontinental trip. But one cinematograph machine will go with the party working from Ross eea end another with the party working about Weddell sea. These films will have both sclentlflc and popular Interest. Pocket wireless outfits having a range of from 100 to 300 miles will also he carried by these two expeditions, but the main party will not attempt the added weight of either device. While the North pole Is situated about two miles beneath the sea, the South pole Is on the plateau two miles above the sea. The conditions of Journeys to the two points are widely different In the North, within 500 miles of the pole, In summer time, there are 100 different species of flowering plants. There are no flowering plant! within 1,700 miles of the South pole, and within 700 miles of It there Is no plant or animal life of any description whatever. In the North you may expect to get the arctic hare and fhe ptarmigan on the northermost land. There are also bears and the life In the sea. On a trip to the North pole, the explorer sledges over a moving sea of Ice that packs up and breaks up, and It Is Impossible to lay any depots. The danger of northern sledge traveling Is the break-uof the ice and the opening of what are called leads open water channels left by the parting of the Ice. In the South the difficulties are the varying nature of the snow surfaces, the fact that the temperatures are much lower and the danger of crevasses. In the North one can fall 10 to 20 feet Into the sea, but In the South one may fall 1,000 feet down a crevasse. By this notable expedition. Sir Ernest hopes to cut In two one of the largest, If not the largest, white spaces yet remaining on the map. He expects to solve the complete continental nature of the Antarctic. Especially scientists would like to know whether the great range of mountains on the New Zealand side of the Antarctic continent really stretches all the way across and Is a continuation of the Andes. This Victoria chain has been traced to the pole by Amundsen and other explorers. The solving of this problem Is of Intense Interest to geographers all over the world. The discovery of the great mountain range, which Is assumed to extend In general way from the pole to Weddell sea, would be one of the biggest geographical trlumps possible. The geological results will also be of the greatest scientific value. The Weddell sea party will take many specimens, and even the transcontinental party will chip off pieces of all exposed rocks they find. Continuous magnetic observations will be taken all the way from Weddell sea to Ross sea, aa tha route will lie not far from the magnetic pole. Information of great value to navigators would be p learned. Continuous sclentlflc observations of the weather will also be taken, and these should be very valuable when correlated with the results obtained by other expeditions. Biological work will be thoroughly carried on, and the distribution of fauna and flora will be studied. Both the ships will be equipped for dredgAll branches of science will ing and sounding. be most carefully attended to and the net result ought to be a large increase In human knowledge.

Spontaneous Generation Life's Origin. Dr. Charles Bastion brings forward fresh evidence Intended to prove the spontaneous generation origin of life. From solutions of sodium silicate and pernitrate of Iron, which were boiled 20 minutes to destroy all life, he claims to have grown de novo moulds and fungus germs. He maintains these are genuine organic growth and adduces proof of their growth and multiplication, with the formation of filaments. Doctor Bastion concludes that the de novo origin of living matter Is established beyond the region of doubt At the same time he fully recognizes that the actual steps of the spontaneous generation process r main to be discovered.
