Madame NOrdfca's Husband Has Not
Been Seen Since He Sailed.
In the Topics About Town" column of
the Philadelphia Press of today is the fol-
lowing:
The exploit of Professor Andree in at
tempting to reach the north pole by bal
loon was the subject Of discussion recently
in gathering of theatrical people. Refer
ence was made to several aeronauts who
had sailed away on aerial voyages from
which they had never returned. which re-
called to one of those present the circum-
stances connected with the disappearance
Of Frederick Cover, the husband Of Nine.
Nordica, the opera singer. Mr.. Cover was
in balloon and, for all anybody knows
to the contrary. he is still up there. At
any rate there is no record of his having
come down. no trace Of either man or bal
loon ever having been found. The person
who remembered the affair told the story
about as follows:
1.-The married life of Mr.. and Mrs. Cover
was not happy. Mr.. Cover made a great
stock, and it was said that his fortune
amounted to $2.OO0.OO0 After a bitter quar-
rel Mrs Cover decided to bring an action
for divorce. Her husband converted all of
his property into cash and then went up
in a balloon, leaving no clue to the where
abouts of his money that his wife could
find. The affair was very mysterious. Had
Mr.. Cover met with accident it is
thought that at least the wreck of the bal
loon would have been found somewhere on
the face of the earth. 1t has been sus-
pected for years that his balloon ascension
was merely a ruse to avoid the scandal of
a divorce and the necessity of paying all
mony to his wife, and that he descended
in an out-of-the-way place, where he de-
stroyed the balloon. Those who knew him
best have always been convinced that he
is still in the land of the living and is en-
joying himself under an assumed name.

GOVERNMENT ARMOR PLANT.
Preliminary Steps to Ascertain til
Cost.

preliminary Steps to Ascertain the
Cost.
Secretary Long has taken preliminary
steps toward the creation Of a board of
naval officers to ascertain the cost of a
government armor plant. Two members
of the board have been selected-Commo-
dore Howell, commandant at the League
Island navy yard, and Captain Mccormick
Of the Norfolk navy yard. These officers
rank high as experts upon the subject OF
armor. The field Of work of the board will
be extensive. 1t must not only ascertain
the cost of modern armor plant. but must
also take into account the propriety, or
rather the necessity, Of establishing in con-
nectlon with 1t complete plant for the
production of steel ingots, a very large
undertaking. The experts are OF the opin-
ION now that 1t is probably necessary in
making armor to begin with the ingot at
the very moment it is forged and before it
has cooled Cnce. I his is done in the best
practice, and, If it should he held to be abb
solutely nee tessary, the government will
be obliged to establish steel plant along
side its armor plant If it embarks in the
business of armor making. The board is
to report to Congress at its next session.
