Great Antartic
Plateau at Pole
Land at "Bottom of Earth" Is Be
lieved to Be 10,000 Feet
Above Sea.
Buenos Ares Organization of a
new South role air expedition to
be initiated next October, has been
announced here by Anton Pauly Aus
trian engineer and explorer, whose
intention is to conduct the first air
plane trip to the bottom of the earth.
Pauly plans to start from Buenos
Aires in a sailing ship near the end
of October in order to make the
coast of Graham land about the mid
dle of November. According to plan,
the ship will land the expedition on
Wandel island at 65 degrees south
latitude, where the primary base of
operations will be established.
The next step will be the establish
ment of another abse 10 degrees far
ther south. Eight trips by airplane
are cloulated to be sufficient to trans
fer food and fuel supplies to this
point, which will be 300 miles near
er the pole.
To" Seek Scott's Message.
Following establishment of this last
base the party will disgress tempor
arily from its prime goal to make
explorations in the Weddell sea and
to Charcot lard.
Following these explorations a
final preparatory move will be made
to a point at SO degrees south lati
tude. 600 miles nearer the pole than
the previous base. This point is cal
culated to have an altitude of 6,000
feet above sea level, and from here
the flyers will make their dash to the
South pole, a flight of 600 miles.
According to Pauly's statement the
pole is a plateau 10,000 feet high,
lie states:
"We wll sitop at the pole long
enough to make necessary observa
tions and to try to find messages left
there by Captain Scott in 1922. We
shall then continue the flight to
Wales bay, where fe hope to find
the deposit left by Amundsen. This
distance is about 660 miles, making
Tle whole flight from our SO degree
base nearly 1,300 miles."
Two -Month Food Supply.
In" the actual flight across the
polar region Pauly plans to carry two
passengers besides himself, a pilot,
observer and mechanic. Two months'
food supplies and equipment for a
sledge expedition, to be used in case
of accident to the plane, will com
plete the cargo carried on the flight.
No time limit has been set for the
expedition which is expected to end
at Melbourne. Australia. Pauly is
confident of his success and is lay
ing careful plans to insure against
mistakes in preparation. He has

Nothing Very Bad
in the Weather
Scientists at Washington Office Say
It Is Always Doing Unusual if
Not Remarkable Things.
Washington Those who have
been asking what's wrong with the
weather this year are not likely to
have their curiosity satisfied by the
weather bureau.
In the first place, the scientists
there say there is scarcely a more
abused expression in the language
than the term "unusual weather."
Weather always is doing unusual
things, they say, and if it were not,
it wouldn't be usual.
Pressed further, they concede that
the spring and early summer of 1926
may have been a bit freakish, but
they refuse to admit that, taken a3
a whole the country over, the first
half of the year could really be call
ed very remarkable. .
The observers summed up the situ
ation in about this way:
Spring was retarded in the north
east. Coo4 temperatures prevailed
with few exceptions, until July,
when normal heat set in. Moisture
was deficient. Conditions improved,
however, early in the summer.
The Pacific northwest, in June
and early July, suffered one of the
most torrid spells in its history. This
region, usually temperate throuout
the summer, sweltered under a low
pressure area. All records were brok
en at Portland Ore., with a tempera
ture of 104.
Parts of North Carolina and Georg
ia were held in the grip of an al
most unprecendented drought until
the middle of June. Otherwise, the
south had seasonal weather Condi
tions also were approximately nor
mal in the huge area between the
Mississippi and Rocky mountains.
While the South Atlantic seaboard
and central west lacked sufficient rain
during the spring, it came in un
wonted torrents in southern Cali
fornia. The weather bureau officials are
reluctant to generalize, but one con
dition they have noted so often that
it has come to be axiomatic. When
extreme heat prevails in the western
half of the country, the eastern half
is cooler, and vice versa. The same
divergence applies to cold.
There is no slack business period
for the merchant who advertises hii
goods the year 'round.
