Mr. Borchgrevink claims that the continent of which he Is to some extent the discoverer contains 8,000,000 square miles, and says he is convinced it Is twice as large as all Europe. His journey to this unknown land was through vast bodies of floating ice, and at times he drifted between snow-clad peaks, some of which kissed the sky at an altitude of more than two miles above his little vessel. His trip was over 5,000 miles in length, or longer than that, made by Columbus, and the ship in which he made the Voyage was a steam whaler of only 320 tons. He had to sail before the mast, in orcer to be able to make the trip, and he submitted to all kinds of hardships that he might carry out his desire for explora- tion. . How Borchgrevink Looks. I was introduced to Mr. Borchgrevink by Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, the president of the National Geographic Society, and I spent a morning with him not long ago, dui ing which he gave me some interesting in- formation as to the expedition which he will ™make next year to explore this new con- tinent. Before I give the chat, however, Jet me tell you sometinng about the ma! His name is Borcherevink, which should be pronounced as though it were spelled Bork-re-vink. He is a Swede and was born Borchgrevink Being Interviewed. in Christiana about thirty years ago.

He speaks En- glish fluently and our chat was in that language. Nansen and the North Pole. In talking about his first desire for polar exploration he said that he had for years aimed to go to the north pole and that all of his studies had been with that in view. He told me that he had worked together with Nansen and that the two had often taken excursions together in Norway to harden themselves tor future work. Upon my asking as what he thought of the re- ports of Nansen’s having reached the pole, Mr. Borchgrevink replied: “I doubt it. The news from Nansen comes to us at the wrong time of the year. Had he reached the north pole we should have heard from him in September instead of in the middle of the winter. Had he been successful I do not see why he should have come back over the same road that he went in going to the pole. His idea, you know, was to get into a certain stream, which he thought flowed around the pole and to have floated or drifted right around it. Why he should have gone to the pole and then come back fighting against the current I cannot see. I think thei be some mistake about the reports “What kind of a man is Nansen?” I asked. ‘He is a man of great force,” was the reply. “He is very enthusiastic, is full of energy, and at the same time is cool and calculating. He is not a crazy enthusiast, as many people suppose. He laid out plans on what he believed to be sc grounds, and it may be that he w ceed.” Andree and His Balloon. “How about the balloonist’s voyage to the pole? Do you think there is any chance of his success?” “Who can tell!” replied Mr. Borchgre- vink. “I met Mr. Andree during the gBeo- graphical congress at London last July and had a chat with him about his proposed trip. He argues very plausibly as to his schemes. You know King Oscar of Sweden is much interested in it. King Oscar is a man of extraordinary ability. He is well up in science, and is quite an able writer. I mean by this that he can write things himself. He is not like many other mon- archs who have posed before the world as having literary ability, -vho have had oth- ers do the writing for which they have got- ten the credit. King Oscar is much intel ested in science. paid inuch atten- tion to arctic exploration, and he has given quite a lot of money to further Mr. An- Cael expedition. “In connection with this,” Mr. Borchgre- vink went on, “I heard a curious story: about King Oscar the other day which somewhat illustrates my idea of Andree and his trip. A well-known geographer of Philadelphia paid a visit to Sweden a month 0} ago, and during his stay there he met his majesty, the king. His majesty talked with him at length about geograph- ical subjects, and among other things ask- ed the Philadelphian what he thougnt of Andree’s expedition. Hereupon the Phila- delphian laughed, and replied that Andree must be crazy, and that his whole scheme savored of lunacy. The king answered the that he might possibly be acy, ui I don’t think that the Philadelphian knew that the king had contrib = cone uted to the ex.

The expedition was organized as a whaling enterprise, and, in order.to go, Borchgrevink icined it as a seal shooter.and.sailor.,-He slept in the forecastle of the little steamer and did all the work of. an ordinary sea¢ man. Said he: “The trip was taken with the idéa of catching whales and seals, though I went along for purely scientific purposes. You know there are different kinds of whales, That which {fs the most valuable is called the right whale. It is a black whale, and | is supposed to exist in largé quantities in the waters about the south pole. We did not find any,however, tkcugh I still believe that they exist In those waters. We also expected to catch some seals. I went along as seal shcofer, and with the understanding that I should aid in curing the skins. We found quite a number of fur seal and shot some. There are many fur real about ihe south pole, though it is doubtful whether they exist In as Iarge numbers there ap they’do in Bering sea.” “How long were you gone?” I asked. “The trip took us just’ five montis:” was the reply. “We started out from Australia In ‘September ard returned onthe “2th of March. “How far was the point on’ which you landed on the Antarctte continent from Aus- tralia? the wind, holds down the fur and isa great aid in retaining the warmth.” “How about ur food?” “Oh! we s] ‘have all sorts of condensed foods.

I shall use films as well as plates this year. I had only plates in 1894. The air, however, is not good for photo- graphing down there. There is too little contrast. Everything is dazzling white, and you do not get the shadows that are hecessary to make beautiful pictures. I made a number of paintings of the things I saw. I sketched them while they were before me, and afterward filled: out the out- lines. Much of my work I did with or- dinary ship's paint, and this was the case with many of the illustrations which I pub- 7 in my articles in the Century Mega- zine.’ He Will Take News Balloons. “How about balloons, will you take any with you?” - “We shall not take any large balloons,” said he, “though we shall carry a large number of small ones. We are going to take them in order to see if we cannot send messages to the civilized world with them. We shall tie letters to them and send them up into the air to go wherever the wind will carry them. We shall also take carrier pigeons from Australia for the same purpose. Whether the birds will be able to find their way back home is a ques- tion. Still, by flying from one iceberg to another they may be able to make it. At any rate we are going to try. I wonder, by the way, whether any one has ever sent a carrier pigeon across the Atlantic. I am going back to London in a few days and I will take then some with me and make the experiment.” ‘Will your ship stay with you for the t rs?" replied Mr. Borcherevink, “it will come back, but it will return again the next “But suppose it should not return?” “Oh, in that case,” replied the explorer, -“I suppose we shall get along until a re- Hef expedition comes for us. I think there is enough enterprise right here in America to send out such an expedition if the men who have agreed to return should fail us. This, however, I think there is no prospect of their doing. FRANK G. CARPENTER. —— CONQUERING A BRONCO. as just about 500 miles from New ,” replied Mr. Borchgrevink.

Tt has been recently stated that not less tha 40,000 physicians are using or indorsing the new From the New York Herald. Mr. John Mitchell, British consul et St. Petersburg, in the eourse of his annual re- port to Lord Salisbury upon the condition of the country, says: “Ten years of strenu- ous support of a financial character on the part of the government of the landlord class has failed to yield the desired re- sults.. The Nobility Land Bank has proved unequal to the task of arresting the sure but gradual decay of the class in question. Mortgaged estates were repeatedly, by hundreds and even thousands, destined to be dealt with by the auctioneer’s hammer, but at the critical moment the government ‘has: always intervened with new acts of grace which postponed the evil day. ‘“Att the present time more than one hun- dred thousand estates, or 41 per cent of the whole area of the land owned by 20bles, are mortgaged to various government and private land credit institutions, and the amount of money advanced on these estates has reached 1,269,000,000 rubles (£126,500, 000), of: which sunr 1,174,000,000 rubies (£117, 200,000) still remains owing. In the course of. the last five years (18S9-1894), the in- debtedness of landed estates to private land tanks: increased’ by 84,000,000 rubles (8,- 200,000), and these banks last year reaped a‘protit of more than 7,500,000 rubles (£700,- 000) on these operations. Of the enormous capital of the Nobility Land Bank, exceeeding £#),000,000, created by ‘the government for the express purpose of money advances to landlords, but little has been paid back, and but little improvement has been made in the cultiva- tion of estates. It is asserted by those well acquainted with” provincial life that the millions advanced to the noble landlord class have not been expended in the im- provement of their estates, but were speat on amusement, luxury, travels, payment of old debts and unprofitable enterprises. “One of the chief causes that threaten the almost complete extinction of the noble jand-owning class is*to be found in ab- senteeism.

From the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader. If the silver question were left to the Sioux Indians to be decided, they would speedily decide it in a manner that would prove perfectly satisfactory to the advo- cates of free silver coinage. The Sioux are naturally in favor of free silver coinage principally because silver is more easily counted by them than any other kind of money. White Ghost, the venerable head of the Crow Creek Sioux, in discussing the money question while in town recently, ad- vanced some peculiar ideas regarding money, which are undoubtedly shared by practically every member of the Sioux na- tion. He says that when the government pays the pecp!e on his reservation the $198,- 000 due them, he wants it paid in silver dol- lars. Gold is detested by the Indians be- cause the coins are so small when the sum they represent is taken into consideration. White Ghost said he could not understand why a $10 bill should not be just ten times as large as # §1 bill. He thinks the govern- ment should increase the size of bills in proportion, to the-sum they represent, cven if it was necessary that a $100 bill should be as large as a horse blanket. If the gov- ernment persists in paying them partly in bills, they uld like to see the change made. But silver dollars are what the In- dians want, even should they receive them in such quantities that they would have to be transported“to their agencies in wagons. LIGHT .OF ‘HE - DIAMOND. an Important New Prop- erty of the Stone. From the London Tid Bits. An expert in gems has lately called at- tention te a property in the diamond’ which has not hitherto been fully appreciated. In a paper by Robert Boyle, published in the trensactions of the Royal Society, men- tion is made of a diamond tbat became phospgarescent simply by heat of the hand, absorbed light on being held near a candle and emitted light on being briskly rubbed. The.gbservations of Kunz, the gem expef confirm BoYleg’s statement that diamonds be@ome phosphorescent in the dark after exposure ‘te’ the sunlight or electric light, but they also show that all diamonis emit light by being rubbed on wool, th or meta! ‘This property is an important one, as it wil enable the non-expert to distin- guish between the true diamond and other ard stone, as weil as paste, none of whjch exhibit’ this phenomenon. This property is evidently not-eleciric, as is clearly shown by its being visible when the gem is rubbed on metal: oe The Twjn's Complaint.
