that Andree erected his balloon house in

The house was constructed by Ivan Sved-

When he made public his plans to reach
the pole a few years ago the story was
credited to some enterprising newspaper
man. In the first place Andree figured
| out that IL would cost $4,000 to make the
lattempt. His plans he confided to Baron
Nordenskjold. the celebrated Arctic eX-
plOrer, who in turn interested the king Of
Sweden. King Oscar subscribed the great
er part of the requisite sum out of state
funds, and this assured the attempt.
The next move was to secure the con-
struction of a balloon after Andrees plans.

| done by NJ Henri La Chambre, an eX-
periencsd aerOnautical engineer Of LOnd)n.
