Antarctic Exploring Expedition.

Herr Borchgrevinck, of the steamec Southern Cros3, with the returning^ Antarctic expedition equipped by Sir George Newnes has arrived at Stewaurt& ; Island, and leaves for Australia and England by the Mokoia. The bbjec&^vri of the expedition have been accomplished, but there is still a mine of scientific wealth to explore in those regions. Herr Borchgrevinck looks well and vigorous, but still feels the strain of the responsibilities of his leadership. The party endured many hardships. Nicolas Hansen, the Zoologist of the expedition, was the only loss made. Borcbgrovinck says he was a valuable man. A feature of the book the leader is going home to write will be photographic reproductions. A kinematograph machine was also used with success.

Borchgrevinck says that the ice has only been broken, preparing the ways for work of great value by future expeditions. The sledge dogs from Siberia, and Greenland nearly all survived, and are on board the Southern Cr?ss for return to their own lands. Borchgrevinck thinks there is still a chance that Andree, the aeronaut lives among the Esquimaux of Greenland. Herr Borchgrevinck states that the BOUth magnetic pole was located after a «ledge journey in latitude 78deg somin. Wade's Worm Fig?, the wonderful Worm Worriers, never fail for adults or children.
