SPRCIAL Despatours TO THe EXAMINER

Something Wrong Somewhere. Orrawa, Aug. 10. Maritime Province riflemen who have expressed surprise at the high scores in the League matches, by the 53rd team of Sherbrooke will be interested in the re-

sult of the recent match over the same ranges. Atthe annual meeting of the Sherbrook Rifle Association when six men of 55rd league team who won the prize

last, average 77 points per man, or twelve points less than the whole ten appear to have averaged in last two matches. The charge of the Halifax competitors as to crooked work in other places is a reflection on the honor of all Canadian riflemen, and as such must sooner or later be investigated by the Minister of Militia.

Arctic Discovery. |

(The Empire.)

Dr. Nansen has inspired sufficient en- | thusiasm in favor of his new plan of Arctic | discovery to obtain a grant of $55,000 from | the Norwegian parliament-—a sum which | he considers ample for his purpose, as he | intends to accomplish his voyage with a crew of but twenty men in a vessel of only 170 tons. The proposed expedition is en- dorsed§by several respectable authorities, | amongst them M. Mohn, of the Meteoro- logical Institute of Christiania; Mr. | Reotzman, of the Paris Geographical So- ciety, and M. Jacobsen. The little vessel that is to dare the terrible north is to be constructed so that it cannot be crushed by the ice,jbut it nipped will simply be forced up out of the water to ride on the moving floes. With this boat the intrepid explorer will allow the poleward currents to carry him almost anywhere they will.

Heretofore polar explorers have chosen |

almost entirely the route up Baffin’s Bay | and Smith’s Sound, or the more easterly | passage by way of Franz Josef land. But} the drift of the currents in which the un- fortunate Jeannette was carried from the northern Siberian waters, the length and height of the waves in that part of the Arctic basin and the supposed effect of the immense outflow of the great Siberian rivers have given color to the hypothesis that a yeneral drift of the ocean pours to- wards Greenland across the polar basin. There is nothing in the discoveries of pre- vious explorers to contradict this hypo- thesis, or to indicate that the sea of ancient ice—the paleecrystic sea of Sir George Nares —does not occupy a very circumscribed area on the American side of the pole. Further very strong support of Dr. Nan- sen’s plan is found in the fact that several articles abandoned on the ice when the Jeannette sank north of Siberia were found three yearslaternearJ ulianshaab on the west coast Of Greenland. They had been carried clear accross the Polar ocean on a piece of ice. Of course, whether the piece floated accross the pole and down Smith’s Sound, or made its way through the tortuous ice- encumbered passages of the Canadian artic archipelago, can only be conjectured, and there remains room for fearing that Dr. Nanson will simply accomplish an easterly passage to the Atlantic instead of a voyage to the poll itself.

The expedition intends to sail in February, 1892, and may be absent five years. Under an experienced Artic explorer such as Nansen, a crew fimiliar with Arctic life, and n vessel equipped for almost al! conceivable difficulties, there is much hope that the vessel will return to Europe safely. If it does, and whether or not it reaches the pole, the route to be traversed is so new that Dr. Nansen can scarcely fail to bring back with him experiences and discoveries of an inter- esting and perhaps of a valuable character. The pluck of the commander in daring an utterly unknown region commands admir- ation, and the wisdom shown in fitting out the enterprise secures for the expedi'ion the heartiest wishes for its success.
