C.O HERE Is a fascination about Arc

in generous rivalry to send expedition

tudes, terrible rigors, and enormous
dirhcuitics of the unknown North.
The latest expedition has beeu the
moot successful of all. The Duke of
Abruzzi. a young scion of Italian royal
ty, has recently returned from a voyage
ot exploration which penetrated fur
ther Into the polar regions than man
has ever been before to the knowledge
of the world. Even Nansen. the In
trepid, who. until Abruzzl's voyage had
tbe honor of going farthest north, did
not gel nearer than 2tJo miles of the
pole, a distance, to be sure, less than
from New Y'ork to Buffalo, but 19 min
utes of latitude, or twenty miles, short
of Abruzzi's highest point. This does
not seem to be a great advance, but It
is a distinct achievement and brings
the pole twenty miles nearer than ever
before, aud represents an achievement
which never before crowned the en
deavors of man. The nearer one ap
proaches the pole, the greater the diffi
culties. To advance a single mile is
often a physical impossibility on ac
count of the Ice barrier. Twenty miles
may represent the labor of weeks un
der conditions which would appall any
but the stoutest hearts aud exhaust all
but the most robust physiques.
Tbe North Pole ue.cribed.
What is the Norm Pole about which
so much is heard? A a answer to this
question is found herewith: It is sim
ply the mathematical point which
marks tbe northern termination of the
axis of the earth. It Is a place where
there are 0 degrees of latitude, or
none, and 3tf degrees of longitude, or
none at all. Just as one prefers to look
at It. A man standing at the North
Pole would have to go south whichever
way be stepped. There is no north, no
east, no west. Should he stand at the
pole for a year be would have but one
night and one day. The-sun would rise
on March 21 and set on Sept. 21, not to
1 until the following March. "After
rising, says a writer, "the sun would
circle through the heavens its If rolling
along the horizon, ascending every
twenty-four hours a little higher, until
on June 121 It would tie l?.'!1 degree
above the horizon. Then It would grad
ually sink until sunset. Sept. '21. Dur
ing the night at the pole all the heaven
ly bodies would move In horizontal cir
cles IiwIMIi1 ot oblique circles as here."
There will be nothing to designate the
pole when it Is reached, except the ob
servations which Ox the geographical
point. The explorer takes frequent ob
servations of the sun along his route to
determine his latitude and longitude.
By computation he should know when
he has reached the earth's apex.
The series of oliservatlons ore after-
j ward corrected whenever the exploring
party reaches the base of operations or
wherever the standard chronometer Is
left. Peary, for example, who Is now
In the north, and may have reached the
pole, bus with blm six chronometers
rated for different times, and showing
Greenwich mean time, Washington
mean time, and one rated at some con
venient camp, and indicating the local
time of that place. By this chrono
meter his more northern observations
would be computed, with corrections or
errors added or eliminated, this to indi
cate precisely the places of observation.
Again, when civilization Is reached the
observations would be again computed
with astronomical observations made
at Washington, and would then be add
ed to the various nautical tables that
are supplied to maritime nation. That
an explorer bad reached the pole could

be proved from his observations, aud
would resolve Itself to a matter of
mathematical calculation.
Other Kxpcditione.
Intense Interest Is felt In the result
of the Investigations being made at the
present time. In which so mauy nation
alities are Interested. IJout. Peary will
probably be the first to be heard from

mer have been engaged In efforts to
reach the limit of latitude. Ills expe
dition operates from bis northermost
supply on Western Greenland, from
which he was scheduled to make a 400
mile dash for the pole.
The Russian expedition, which has
been equipped for the discovery of the
pole, has winter quarters in Matthew
Strait and Its main objective is Nova
Zenibla, with possible advances farther
uorthward.
The Norwegian expedition now Is
supposed to be locked in the vicinity of
the pole. It Is under the command of

RUN RISK IN EATING GAME.
Flcab of Much-Honied Animals Ia Apt

The eating of "high" game Is un
doubtedly attended with risk, and the
poisonous effects are probnbly due to
the toxins produced in the ' earlier
singes of the putrefactive process. The
advantage, of course, of hanging game
is that "the nosh becomes tender and de
cidedly more digestible than when it Is
quite fresh. The ripeuing process, how
ever, may meau the elaboration of the
toxins. it has 1hhu stated that the
production of the characteristic flavors
of game Is related directly to the
amount of sulphureted hydrogen or
stilphur-nlcohtil set free, but It Is rather
repulsive to think thnt the delicate
flavor of the game Is dependent upon
that Invariable product of decomposi
tion of rotten eggs sulphureted hydro
gen. The smell evolved during cook
ing of high" game Is even more dis
gusting. Fresh game sometimes sets np myste
rious, poisonous symptoms, which has
been attributed to the fact of the game
having lieen overhuuted and fatigued.
