ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
THE USE OF THE GYRO COMPASS.
A great many methods of trans- portation have been resorted to) from time to time in conexion with the work of exploring the Arctic "terra incognita." The original explorers used such simple contri- vances as dog sleighs and snow hoops for the purposes of con- veyance, whilst their modern auc ccssors avalled themselves of motor sleighs, aeroplanes, dirigible air- Craft, and other recent inventions.

INTER-ISLAND AIR SERVICE.
The idea of employing submarines Pinkettes, or post free, 60 cents in connexion with Arctie explora- tion is really not quite so recent as most people might believe. A Ger
sclentlat, Dr. man
Anschutz Kaempfe, of Munleh, had worked out a detailed scheme in or before 1900. From 1900 to 1902 he made an extensive study of the condition of the Arctle Sea in the latitude of Eastern Spitsbergen, King Charles' Land and Franz Joseph Land. But his researches were ahead of actual developments, because no one could' forence at that time the enormous progress the submarine was des tined to make during the world war, An important objection to Dr. Anschutz's plans was that, without a suitable direction finder, no sub- marine could find his way under the fee, and that the magnetic compass the only kind then available--was of no use for that purpose.
