WILKES LAND SEEKER
Philadelphian Plans Expedition to
Region Around South Pole.
HOPES TO GO IN SEPTEMBER
Dr. Henry E. Wetherill, Traveler and
Inventor, Says It Is America's Duty
to Substantiate Claim to Vast Terri
tory Lying Within Antarctic Circle.
Now that the north pule has beeu
I discovered the question is arising .li
the uiluds of explorers. What of the
south pole?
Among those who are planning to go
south is Dr. Henr.v E. Wetherill of
Philadelphia, a surgeou and inspector
of rifle practice in the Pennsylvania
' naval reserves, once n companion of
Commander Peary In arctic travel and
an inventor of scientific Instruments.
Pr. Wetherill Is preparing to explore
the region surrounding the south polo
known a* Wilkes Land, which, he
said recently, was the most fascinat
ing field for the explorer today. "It Is
? \ ast territory," he explained, "lying
wholly withiu the antarctic circle and
In vastness can be said to be at least
twice the size of the United States.
Commander Wilkes of the United
States navy discovered It, approaching
from the south of Australia In 1840.
Lieutenant Shackleton crossed a sec
tion of tills land on his recent dash to
ward the south pole, entering upon it,
as well as I can understand, from a
point somewhat to the southward of
South America.
Fertile Field For Explorers.
"This great waste affords a fertile
field for the explorer because it Is
laud and upon It there is a chance
of discovering Interesting conditions.
There is a comparatively small amount
of laud in the north polar regions,
which makes that territory of less im
portance, to tny way of thinking, than
this region surrounding the south
pole."
Dr. Wetherill pointed out the fact
tliat It had been a question in the
minds of some as to whether Com
mander Wilkes actually discovered this
continent which l>ears his name, and
he thinks that since the north pole has
been discovered it is the duty of Amer
icans to send an expedition south to
substantiate the American claim and
In a way to vindicate Wilkes.
"Such a plan," said Dr. Wetherill,
"has been taking shape in the minds
of certain members of American scien
tific societies for years, but now the
matter seems to be taking definite
form. Edwin Swift Raich, a member
of the Philadelphia Philosophical so
ciety and a leading authority on south
polar conditions, has applied to the
Philadelphia Geographical soriety, and,
I think, to two other societies as well,
for support in bringing the question
to the attention of congress during the
coming term. I understand that con
gress will be asked to appropriate
money for the expedition, which I
should think would require about $300,
000."
Would Take Three Ships.
? Dr. Wetherill has made formal ap
plication for the command of the ex
pedition should one be formed, and
!n the meantime he Is going ahead with
his plans, believing that the funds will
be forthcoming. He would take three
small ships, to be built after the model
of the magnet survey ship Carnegie,
of the auxiliary type. One of these
would be used as a supply ship, a sec
ond for cruising at sea out of danger
of the Ice fields, but within call by
wireless In case anything should hap
pen to the third ship, which he would
personally command and which would
be used for the actual work of ex
ploration.
Dr. Wetherill has l>ecn for years In
terested In Inventing Instruments for
scientific use. IIo has recently Invent
ed a patent sextant, also a table for
taking Greenwich time by what he
calls a lunar declination? that Is, to
determine longitude by an observation
of tho moon.
He explained that lunar observations
for longitude were made In the past,
but the task was one of such complex
ity that few navigators were equal to
It. He has devised a simplified meth
od which he considers to be one of
his most importaut contributions to
the science of navigation. By the use
of this table, he said, longitude could
be determined by a lunar observation
In fifteen minutes.
The Stellar Sextant.
The new sextant which Dr. Wetherill
has invented contains. Instead of two
reflectors of the old type, only one re
flector. which makes it of especial
value lu polar work, due to the fact
that a star can be much more readily
observed through It. Dr. Wetherill not
only devised this Instrument, but he
actually built It, using, he said, tho
model of an old quadrant. Because of
Its service to navigation by the stare
he has named It the stellar sextant.
Dr. Wetherill has traveled extensive
ly. He accompanied Dr. Henry O.
Bryant when the latter went to Green
land In 1894 to try to find the where
abouts of the naturalists BJorllng and
Kalestanius, who were lost In the
north. On that trip Peary and party.
Including Dr. Frederick A. Cook, were
Brought out of the arctic.
Rugged of appearance and enthusi
astic. Dr. Wetherill has the typical ex
plorer's personality. He Is looking for
ward keenly to the forthcoming ex
pedition, which he believes he will
command. The proper time to start
for Wilkes Land, he said, would be
aext September.
Her Vocal Selection.
A weddlug was recently held which
was of the fashionable kind, and
j there were ull sorts of preparations
; and frills. Among the "features" was
j a soug by. a baritone Ringer of con
siderable locnl reuown, and Just what
he was to wurble was a uiutter of con
siderable discussion.
A little sister six years old of the
bride took much Interest In the pro
gram. "Sis," she said, "I want to sing
at your wedding."
"No, denr; you can't sing," was the
rejoinder.
"But I can, and 1 want to," she
pleaded.
"What would you slngV" her father
asked her.
"'Heaven, Look With Pity!"' was
her rejoinder, and her father hasn't
| got over It yet.?Kansas City Journal.
Ladies Firitl
"Scratch a southerner and you find
a knightly soul" might be said to be
one of the morals of the Chicago Itec
ord-Herald story below. The second
moral Is reasonably obvious:
"What Is the reason," begau the Ir
ritated traveler from the north, "that
the trains In this part of the country
are always behind time? 1 have nev
er seen one yet that ran according to
Its schedule."
"Thnt, suh." replied the dlgulfled
Georgian, "Is a mattah that Is easily
explained. It Is due to southern
chivalry, suh."
"Southern chivalry! Where does
that come In?"
"You see, suh, the trains are always
late In this country because they wait
for the ladies, God bless them!"
The Patient Man.
Mr. Heupeck hnd hesitated a long
while about doing this bold thing, but
he felt that now was the time or
never. "Dear," he said, In a very
timid voice, "1 wish you wouldn't call
me 'Leo* any more."
"Why not?" demanded his wife ex
plosively. " 'Leo1 is your given name."
"I know, my dear, but It makes my
friends laugh when you call me that.
I was thinking you might call me
'Job,' Just for a pet name."? Catholic

perlonce with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
1 was affllctcd with kidney trouble
and finally 1 became so bad off that
I was obliged to give . up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. Tho unnatural condition of
tho kidney secrolions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid

gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
