SEEKING Tho two most Important exploring expeditions which have over been fit ted out for tho South Polar bcuh will start from England utul Oermauy this month tho English In tho Discovery aud .the Gorman In tho Guubb, both of thorn now ships especially constructed for on Antarctic exploration nnd equipped with everything needful for the moat complete nnd varied Melon title observation, even Including a cap tive balloon and an electrical plnnt. Tho two vessels aro about the baiiio elze 179 feet In length and 35 feet In breadth ,and hnvo displacement of about 1,500 tons. They are dtrongly built of -oak and Bheat'ted with green heart. Tho bowa are stcel-platcl. nnd mode with a great Bheer, so that t'uey will tend to rldo up on the lco ami break It with their weight. They nio rigged for Balling, but carry auxiliary steam engines of about 400 how power, and tho screws nnd rudders are ho arranged that they can bo hoisted out of tho water In case of danger from Ice. The living rooms In both vessels arc amidships, the stoke hole and cnglno voom being placed right aft,' while the whole lower hold Is util ized as a coal bunker. Captain Scott commands tho English.cxpedlticr. siul i)r. von Drygnlskl the German. It la expected that the commanders or the two expeditions will work to gether and follow a system suggested by Sir Clements Markham, president of the Royal Geographical Society, whlrh divides tho region into four quadrants, two on tho Australasian side and two on the Cnpe Horn and Capo of Gopd Hope side. The first quadrant, from 90 degrees cast to 180 degrees, he names Victoria; the socond, from 180 degrees to 90 degrees west. In which the only known land is Peter Island. Is called thqjtosa Quadrant; the third, from 90 degrees west to the meridian of Green wich, is Weddell, and the fourth, ex tending from the Greenwich meridian to 90 .degrees east, about twlilch the leagY is known is called iho Enderby Quadrant Tho English expedition will' confine Its operations to the Vic toria and Ross Quadrants, the Ger mans taking Weddell and Enderby. The great unknown region comprised In these four quadrants covers millions of square miles, extending over prac tically thirty degrees of latitude. It Is continually "modifying tho atmos phere of the whole southern hemi sphere, and yet we know almost uoth- Y lug about ita meteorology. It Is one of tho most Interesting volcanic re gions on tho face of the globe; recent olcanlc rocks nre picsent everywhere nnd actlte volcanoes are quite .numer ous, and we are entirely Ignorant of its geology. It Is one of tho two great world centora of magnetic phenomena, and yet we know scarcely anything regarding tho magnetic conditions which prevail, not even with any cer tainty whero tho southern magnetic pole Ib locatctl. It Is by all odds the grandost field for Ice study now exist ent, and yet no one has studied tho Ice there. The mysterious Ice barrier rls- lng out of 250 fathoms of water nnd stretching Its perpendicular face for hundreds of miles through the frozen seaa like a gigantic wall perhaps tho sea face of tho greatest glacier In the world; perhaps the edge of an enor mous Island of lco auchorcd over the pole; perhaps, Indeed, something still more remarkable than either of theao Is certainly ono of the greatest unt urul curlosltleB In tho world. Tho region has n fauna and flora of Its own apparently very similar to that of tho Arctic world. Tho fow foBslls . -which havo boon picked up Indicate If that there waa a t.'me when It was crowded with plants nnd anlmala. The life of tho Antarctic seas is very vari.nl and numerous. Tho tropical oceans which now separato tho two poles seem to present an effectual barrier to any communication, and It is a mat ter of much Interest to discover what the Arctic and Antarctic Identity of life forma is due to. Various specula tions havo been put forward; one of these Ib that deep, cold currents tra verso the warmer waters of tho ocean vnnd form hidden roadways, as It wero, by which the' two polar faunas are connected. Another theory is that 180 Y MTtKeel) LA V MT JLHROrjiL RSi yfr T r 7 9owj y m &. TO TAPf TOWN Z v . i. wiLiiii wnwi'i .w.itwwtrinnrlMntV 'fa wirirtli ' li ' - y ,-. ,'i'u L j y f .

The North pole, chlelly for gcogiaph feal reasons, has been much more suc cessfully nnd continuously nttneked than ifs southern counterpart. The rausc of this Is plainly shown by the two diagrammatic maps. Tho North polf Is closely surround ed by largo land mnwes. nil of thorn Inhabited nnd fairly accessible. Tho Antarctic continent (If it Ib n contin ent) IIpb In tho midst of n great ocean, the nearest land being the narrow ex tremity of South America, many hun iltcds of miles away. So that while the North pole has been approached to within about 225 miles, no human being has ever been neurerthnn about 100 miles to the South Polar axis. It seems at first rather surprising, notwithstanding the many geograph ical difficulties, that an enormous re gion of this sort, full of fresh materlnt for tho explorer and scientist, should still, nt the beginning of tho twentieth century, be practically untouched, es pecially In view of the great activity there has been during recent years in North Polar explorations, expedition after expedition going out every year nine, for Instance, being planned for 1901'. But, apart from the purely geo graphical reasons.

Tho weird nnd fantastic quality of tho whole region Is well described by Honryk Arctowskl, u member 'of the Relgica expedition. Ho auyn: "The silence which brootlB nt times over this unknown world Is slngulntiy Impressive, but occasionally a moun tain of lco collapses with a thundering crash, One could hardly believe onn'B oyes when these changes In tho fairy llko scenes occurred were It not for the dull rumbling growl of tho disrupted glaciers. In ract, this realm of eternal Ice Is so different from anything ono has scon that It appenrs another world altogether. In sober truth, I do not believe that In any ruble tho human Imagination has described what we have seen here." In view of the great Interest which attaches to the expedi tion of 1901, and tho very radical chnnges which their explorations may bring about in Antarctic geography, It will be of interest perhnnii to go over briefly the history of the region and our present knowledge regarding It. When the belief In the roundness of tbo earth began to gain ground the old geographers decided that nn antarctic continent would be necessary to pre serve tho symmotry of tho earth. Ac cording to Pompotilus Meln, between tho "real world" which ho knew nnd his hypothetical Antarctica there Iny nn Intensely torrid zone, scorched by tho sun nnd enveloped In mist, over which It wns Impossible for man to tall. And he accounted for tho volumo or the Nllo by supposing It to rise In this southern continent, pnss under tho waters of tho torrid zone, and again come to tho surface in South Africa. Ah commerce was gradually extended in all directions these fantastic notions were one by ono dispelled, nnd nl though during tho middle nges tho Idea of an antipodes, or nntlchthonc, ns It waa nlo called, was considered hereti cal and rejected by the church, geog raphy was being gradually perfected on the bask of Ptolemy's great work. Through the perscvcrnncc of Prlnco Henry tho Navigator, who Kent out vessel after vessel, tho southern limit of Africa was fixed, and It wbb clear ly shown thnt whatever land lay to tho south had no connection with it. An antarctic continent, appeared on Schoncr'fl globes in 1515. Portuguese, SpaniBh nnd Dutch ex plorers worked nway at the Islands JuBt south of the known continents, nnd many ot them were named as portions or n great antarctic land. Cook, In his socon-' voyage, 1772-5, Balled uround tho globe between 40 degrees nnd 00 degrees south latitude, discovered tho great Ice barrier, and finally settled tho much discussed question of land connection between tho continents nnd Antarctica. Cook reached a south lat itude of 71 degrees 10 minutes, the highest then attained. Here ho found Immense fields of ice, which extended, unbroken, for miles. Whales, blue, brown, and white petrels, and a few sooty albatrosses were the only nnl mals Been. The Russian expedition, commanded by F. G. von Dclllnghnu sen, 1819-21, reached 09 degrees 53 minutes in longitude 92 degrees 19 minutes. James Weddell, In 1823, hailed with two vessels on n sealing expedition. He reached a south lati tude of 74 degrees 15 minutes in longi tude 34 degrees 1C minutes west. At this high latitude exceeding Cook's by three degrees, he found the sea open and only three icebergs visible.. Many minor expeditions followed these, nnd n number of new Islands wero discovered and named. Among these minor expeditions may bo men tioned those of Lieut. Wllked of tho United States navy, and a French ex pedition in charge of M. IVUrvillo. Tho next expedition of leading Im portance was that of Sir James Clark Rosb, 1840-3, and. Indeed, the only one, up to the two which will start this month, with anything like a satisfac tory equipment, which has over at tacked tho Antarctic seas. This was a purely scientific expedition, Ita chief purpose being to study the magnetic elements in the southern hemisphere, and to locate the south magnetic polo, which Gauss had placed at about 14G degrees oast longitude and GG degrees south latitude. (As determined by tho Rorcbgrevlnk expedition, tho south magnetic polo Is 73 degrees 20 minutes couth latitude nnd 14G degrees cast longitude.) Sir Joseph Hooker, tho famous botanist, then plain Dr. Hook er, accompanied tho expedition. Its ships wero the Erebus and Terror. Vic toria Land was discovered nnd named; Mounts Erebus and Terror,' the former an active volcano, 12,400 feet in height, were discovered. Tho Ice barrlw from 150 to 200 feet In height, was followed for 250 miles, but no opening could be found. Rosa subsequently reached 78 degrees 9 minutes and 30 seconds f,outh latitude In longitude 101 degrees 27 minutes west. Since this expedi tion until the voyages of tho Relgica, 1898-9, and tho Southern Cross, 1898 1900, tho Southern Arctic waa left al most exclusively to sealers. Rorcb grevlnk, of tho latter expedition, renchod a aouth latitude of 78 degrees 50 minutes, exceeding Ross by about 40 mluutes. A BUSY TELEGRAPH OFFICE.

Sunday nnd week tiny throughout the year, tho place Is tho scene tif great activity, for tho building Is never closed. At thin one telegraph office between 125, 000 ami 150,000 telegrams are handled daily. Tho record number of messages received nnd dnHpntched In one tiny Is 195,111, which was the number reached on the day before the Into Queen's Dia mond Jubilee In 1897. There nre no fewer than 1.220 telegraph Instruments, nnd n staff of nearly 4 000 poisons In cmplojed. There nro 2,470 men tele graphists, about 1,200 lady telegraph ists, 880 mesaongers nnd fifty special Borvnnls. It Is wonderful what tho little clicking machines aro capable of accomplishing and tho variety to be found In this Immenbo building. Tlicio nre hundreds of duplex mnchlnes.whlch signal two messages tit the same time over ono wire In opposlto directions. More wonderful still Is tho multiplex .machine, by which u clerk can dis patch six messages nt tho same time In different directions. For rapid working tho VYIiciit-atono nppnrntua Is cnlleil Into play, whereby a speed of 350 wonlB n minute can be obtained; Indeed, tho Instrument hna n record of COO wortls n minute. When any thing Important oecur.s the Central Telegraph Office Is exceedingly busy sending reports across its numeious wires. Often ns many ns 500,000 words ure dispatched In the early bourn of tho morning of a famous parliamen tary speech. When Mr. Gladstone In troduced his Home rule bill, In 1880, over 1.000,000 wortls were dispatched over tho wires from tho head office. This Is tegarded ns the Central Tele graph.

In addition to tho telegraph wires there nro numer ous telephones, one of the most Inter esting being that from London to Pnrls.

I.oiIh for nil KfTrc lite Kiltllilt. The suggestion of a negro building at tho St. Louis exposition Is ono of emi nent appropriateness. The exposition itself, will bo the first of Its scope com paring with the Chicago world's fair. It will commemorate the purchase of territory Including states which were tho distinctive homo of the American negro. And while the matter of geog raphy Is purely Incidental, und while the exposition will not belong to tho north or south, the East or West, there is something In the situation which makes It peculiarly the first chance tho negro has had to show what ho has done during the past third of a cen tury. He has made marvelous advances in that short space of time. He should bo Judged not by tho heights to which he has climbed, but by tho depths from which ho started. The showing that he could make at this time would bo ono of not merely great ethnological Inter est, but of special value in relation to the solution of the race problem. The problem is ono which Is unique in his tory, nnd anything which throws light upon It Is to be encouraged. There Is a special fltneus in the suggestion thnt all tho work In connection with tho building should be done by negroes and that the entire management of the ne gro -exhibit bo placed lu cliarge ,of , members of that race. A building de signed by negro architects, erected by negro workmen and containing a com prehensive and intelligent exposition of tho life of tho race in America would bq lu many respects one of the most interesting features of the entire fair. There Is plenty of talent and material to be used for such a display, and tho task would bo taken up with an enthu siasm which would give a tremendous impetus to nogro progress. This in It self would be one of the most import ant considerations. It would .have an Influence which would be felt many years after the exposition wa3 a mem ory, possibly tho greatest which has ovor been exerted upon tho negro race In this country.

Incident to colonlnl expansion, there ban been, particularly In France and Germany, so marked nn Increase, In the number of cases of leprosy In Eu rope thnt the matter Is receiving Borl ous nttoutioii. There ure oven alarm ists who tiny that westoru Europe Is on tho ovn ot another outbreak ot tho disease such as followod the return of the Crusaders, The question was brought up before tho French Academy of Medicine In 1885 aud 1888. In Ber lin, In 1897, there wus an International medical conference to consider pro cautionary measures to prevent tho spread of the disease. On May 21 last Dr. Bonnier of tho Fronch Academy, of Mcdlcluo declared that It was ad visable to establish lu Franco n nu-' tlonal leprosy sanitarium, where per- sous tainted with tho disease might' bo Inolntcd. Taking this state of af- fulrs for IiIh text, M. Dastie has eon-' trlbutcd to the Revue tics Deux Mondes a study of leprosy nnd tho present dan-, ger of a spread of tho disease. He points out that In two regions in Franco leprosy has oxlsted continu ously since tho middle ages. These are Brittany nnd the neighborhood of. NIlo. Tho Nice lepers arc supposed to bo descended from n leper colony thnt dated back to tho Saracon Invasion. Aa recently ns 1888 two distinct nut breaks of the tllseano occurred along tho Alpesa-Marltlmus co.ist, causing the death or'nomo twenty porsons. In dividual cases ot tho dlneasa are still found In the neighborhood. In Brit tany leprosy in the seventeenth cen tury wero very widespread and it has never been entirely stamped out'. In a majority of the recently Imported euses from the French colonies in the Orient tho patients nro government employes, commercial traveler, mis sionaries, soldiers and ulsters of char ity. All told it is estimated, that tho proposed leper colony In France would begin with betweon 300 and 400 pa tients. Germany established a lopcr sanitarium two years ago. .Up to 1840 tho dlsoane was unknown In Russia. A few years ago It appeared In the Memcl district, causing tho death of nineteen persons, lu 1899 seventeen districts uround the city were found to bo contaminated and tho sanitary department of the Gorman government opened n leper hospital, to which all sufferers were forced to go, and In which the isolation was complete. The regulations on the subject are very strict, as was shown in tho case of a Gorman morchant who came home to enjoy n fortune which ho hod amassed In one or the tainted colonies and who was found to be suffering from lep rosy. He was ordered to nwyo out o' tho town forthwith, purchase a coun try houso remoto from all neighbors aud then live absolutely isolated from tho world, under penalty ot being re moved to tho leper hospital. The authorities even wont so far as to designate tho particular room in the house which the leper and each of the members of his family wore to occupy. Great Britain, with more foreign pos sessions In which leprosy prevails than any other country In the world, has always fully protected herself from invasions of the scourge. In the 30 years from 1868 to 1898 only 90 im poTtetl cases wero reported. In Por tugal It Is estimated that tbero are in tho neighborhood of 1,000 cases ot leprosy, while in Spain there aro n certain number ot breeding places of the disease. Tho lepers in Spain are not Isolated, They work In the fields oven Marry. ri hoy arc avoided oirly when the m"'!!t?t!'J33, avoided only when the luUilli'Oslmio.lJ" of their dfscaso are particularly pro nounced. Thero Is one loprosy-lnfoctsd region or Spain which has a curious history. It Is Sagra in tho province ot Alicante.
