When the MacMillan expedition aalts ta July it will carry tbe moat complete and mod- era equipment ever taken into tbe po lar regions. A Bel* mo graph and a com plete wlrdeea outfit will be Included and apparatua for electric lighting, electric cooking and electric beating also will be taken. It is proposed by members of tbe ex pedition to establish a seismograph sta tion at the home headquarters on tbe shore of Flagler bey. which will be In charge of Ensign Kltxbugb Green. U. S. N. Tbe object of tbe expedition Is to discover and explore the unknown area north of the present map of the arctic region* and. if conditions are fa vorable. to j>enetrote tbe Creeland lea cap When the expedition was first plan ned l>onntd R.

The theories of the coastal experts have It that within this region lies an undiscovered arctic continent or • ae ries of large islands, the whole nob greatly distant from Banks island. Prince Patrick l*land and Grant Land (tbe western limit of the Arctic archi pelago). while tradition among the Es kimos strengthens tbe theories In fix ing the southern edge of the unknown land not far north from Point Barrow and America.

MacMll\an has known the hardship* of the polar region* and ha* voyaged off the coast of labrador In an open cam*e studying the Eskimos of that country.

He hopes to grow fresh vegetables In hothouses by tbe aid of burning glasses which will be brought to focus on the sheltered plants during the sum mer season, when the tun Is visible. Scurvy ts-sine of tbe chief enemies he ex|»e<’ts to encounter, and he hopes that if he Is successful In raising fresh vegetables during the period while the suir Is up he will he able to hold at hay this grim visaged specter of the deep arctic silences. ’ Then. too. he may take with him a Great South liny scooter, the first of her genus to Invade the an tic circle. The scooter Is an amphibious craft native of the Orest South hay of Long Island. She I* .built like a boat, but equlpt>ed with runners on the bottom, and goes as well on the water ita on Ice On smooth Ice the scooter sails at the speed nf sixty miles an hour and In the water at the sttced of a regula tion sail boat. The trip MacMillan and six comrades will make la believed to be one of the most tiertlous that could have been se lected. The safety of the expedition depend* wholly upon the consistency and duration of the winter ice In tbe polar sea. and those who have spent much of their lives In the fa^ north have learned that polar sea Ice Is an uncertain quantity on which to pin life. Briefly/the plan of the expedition ta to push north.-with several stops for the last supplies, until Cape York. Greenland. Is reached about Aug. 1. From there the jaMrly will proceed to Flagler bay. Ellesmere Land, where tbs headquarters camp will be built The’ ship will return to New Yortt. and the seven members of the exyalee- ing party will set about preparing for the long, dark winter. Some of the party will then push north through the mountains of, Elles mere Laud luto Eureka sound* and through Nansen strait to Cape Thomas Hubbard, the point from which Peary saw the dim outline of Crocker Land northwestward across the indart Hamilton City.
