SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION
THE USE OF AEROPLANES. SIR DOUGLAS MAWSON STILL DOUBTFUL. (Uuixru Tress Association —By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) ('•Times" Cables.) LONDON, March 7. Generally speaking aeroplanes cannot supersede the old methods of exploration, said Sir Douglas Mawson, who has not yet decided whether to employ them. It might happen that certain regions would not be worth exploration. Aircraft might disclose this, rendering long sleigh journeys unnecessary. The Discovery is now lying at West India dock, London. iShe sails in June but Sir Douglas Mawson does not propose to go to Australia aboard her, and is joining her later. The scientific staff is likely to number thirteen. The Discovery’s crew will total twenty-six. Hobart is the most likely point of departure southward.
