but they cheerfully responded to the extra
strain.
"Seventy-two knotsp' shouted the tutor
''That's pretty fair record. Work them
up gradually to eighty"
The geese, as yet unsuspecting the ca
pacity of the new leader, kept on right
cheerfully, although couple in the far rear
had begun to lag a little behind. The
"Aeropole" now imperceptibly increased
her speed. The leaders responded easily,
yet one could notice sense of surprise in
the way they craned their heads from ono
side to another. They were now going at
the rate of 80 miles an hour.
Three more birds dropped out, leaving II.
These began to wonder and to work. The
passengers could now notice 3 grieved ex-
preston stealing over the faces of the two
leaders. They began to utter plaintive
"Honks! which were not hard of interpre-
tation. They cried, as if in plain English,
Hold up! hold up!"
The men were now becoming excited The
exact speed of the wild goose has never
been precisely ascertained; but it has been
credited with 100 miles an hour. Three
more dropped out as the wind-gauge read IS.

Sterne with enthusiasm. "I'll bet on The

ingenious. Kasper, the leading part In all

of workmanship. 1t would detract from his
glory if the other occupants of the stage

cannot only nod and shake his head and
raise his right arm so that it forms an angle
with the body or is elevated above the head,
but he can also dance, fold his hands or

THE MID-AIR RACE WITH WILD GEESE.

They looked at those slender bits of wood,
so innocent, so destructive, and so friendly.
The petroleum heater was not vet lighted,
nor was the cooker These had not been
designed to light by electricity. And now,
the sacrifice of even one match to this
necessary work took moment of resolution
belongs struggle with his last match on
board the steam launch "Juniata," !" in 1873,
occurred to Sergeant Willtwig's mind.
A matchless exhibition is defeated ex-
pedition. How start without the means of
warmth to explore the polar regions, where
the invisible sphinx protects her ice-bound
mystery? What is the worth of tons of
coal or food in those secret places where the
mercurial Thermometer freezes, without the
magic spark that shall convert inert masses
into energy?
The chief knew this, and yet the brave
explorer, trusting to his courage and good
fortune, to his star and to his indomitable
will, preferred to brave the worst rather
than delay his enterprise. To an airship
subject to "writ'' delay might mean
fustration of the entire scheme.
"What shall we do, gentlemen" asked
the Sergeant soberly. "Let me explain.
More polar expeditions have been wrecked
through uncongeniality and disobedience
than through starvation or cold. 1 am
as though you were nv subordinates on a
man-of-war. But shall frequently consult
with you, as in the present instance. In
such cases, the opinion of the majority
shall rule. We left Chicago at L. Chicago
lies about on the 42d latitude; that is, she is
situated about ., $50 miNs from our destina-
tion. We are travelling at the rate of 200
miles an hour"
The tutor now rose and consulted the
thermometer, the result of which he noted
down. They all looked at him question
ingly.
"How fast?" asked Professor Wilder from
the engine-room, only few feet away.
fShe marks 1914 miles an hour. We ara
now travelling swifter than man or bird has
ever travelled before" he added solemnly.
The Sergeant did not answer; he was i'm
mersed in gigantic calculations
"Look-by Jovei A racei See!" Jack
Hardy, who had been peering out of the
window, made motion to the rest.
They rushed to the window and exclaimed
in wonder. Far below them, a thousand
feet or more, shone the large Lake Michi-
gan. So great was it that it seemed like an
ocean. Ahead and to the westward could
be family distinguished the connecting
waters of Lake Superior. But beside them
and following the airship was large flock
of birds By their frightened aHonI.
honkr' they were easily distinguished.
Prof. Wilder had reduced the "Aeropole"
to one-quarter speed, and the geese easily
kept pace with this new wonder. The birds
inspected it. They pecked at it They
gibed at it. Then, apparently coming to
the conclusion that this was some new
leader, they formed behind the airship in
capital A.
The men had now gone to the stern win
dow, commenting on this unique aerial
sight.
'tNow, put on a little more steam! I'll
bet on the birdsp' cried Royal The Gwo
leading geese were only 80 feet behind, and
one could almost note their eager, tense ex-
preston. A touch, and the air vessel shot
