Tromsoe. Island Of Tromsoe. Fin
mark, Norway. July 16.-The steamer
Svensksund, which has arrived here
from Spitzbergen. reports that Herr
Andree, the aeronaut, ascended in his
balloon on Sunday afternoon at half
past two. The ascent was made un-
der favorable circumstances. The wind
was good and all was well.
The whole scientific world Is watch
ing with interest the daring attempt
which will be made by s. A. Andree to
reach the pole in a balloon. His idea
sounds like a fairy tale, but scientists
believe in its practicability, and men
OF great reputation have provided
money for his trip.
DIR. s. A. Andree, a celebrated Swed-
ish aeronaut, and the chief engineer
OF the Stockholm patent Office, tried to
make a balloon voyage across the Arc
uc regions last July, but failed on ac
count Of adverse winds and defects in
his airship. With better equipment
now and profiting by experience, he
mas confidence that he can at least sur
vey from above the North Pole and its
surroundings. He argues that his
method of exploration will be easier,
safer and surer than attempting to
penetrate the ice-bOund country in any
other way.
For twenty years he has been plan
ming such an expedition, and finally en-
listed the financial support of the
swedish Academy of Science, as well
as the more or less active interest Of
the International Geographical Con
gress and other organized bodies.
The voyage to the pole he thinks will
last from thirty to forty hours. though
favorable winds may expedite it. even
reduce ii to five or six hours. His de-
sire is to spend thirty days in cruising
about the central polar basin, taking a
complete survey of 1t. With fair
wind of average velocity he calcu-
lates that he can travel about 12O00
miles in thirty days.
He intends to make the return jour
ney towards the inhabited parts of
North America or northern Siberia.
The Canadian and Russian govern
ments have requested the people in
those parts to keep a watch for the
balloon, report its course and render
assistance If practicable.
The new balloon IL seventy five feet
in height and has a capacity of 112,OO0
cubic feet of gas Andree expects to
be able to hover in the air at an alti-
tude of about 1 900 feet for thirty days
If necessary. The balloon carries a
sail of 800 square feet and has other
appliances for steering.
Danes Island. the point of depar-
ture. at the northwest extremity of
SpitZbergen. is in north latitude 79.40,
about, and east longitude 1890. about.

APPLES AS MEDICINE.
They Contain Ingredients of Great ssrvlc

The German analysts say that the apple
contains larger percentage Of phosphorus
than any other fruit or vegetable, This
phosphorus is admirably adapted for re-
newing the essential nervous matter, lithl-
Gin. OF the brain and spinal cord. 1t Is.
perhaps, for the same reason that the old
Scandinavian traditions represent the apple
as the food of the gods. who, when they felt
themselves growing feeble and infirm. re-
sorted to this, fruit for renewing their
powers Of mind and body: Also the acids
OF the apple are Of signal service for men
of sedentary habits. whose livers are slug
gish In action. these acids serving to elm
mate from the body noxious matters which

or bring about jaundice, skin eruptions and
other allied troubles. Some such experi-

apple sauce with roast pork, rich goose and
like dishes.

of vegetable substances for the stomach to

In the Hotel des Invalides of Paris an
apple poultiee is used commonly for In
