Frozen Eggs in he Klondfke.


A man at Seattle, Washington, has
made neat little fortune out of frozen
eggs, which he took to the Klondike.
Hearing that eggs in that region were
selling at 81 each, he determined to
supply the demand. So he bought L.
TAB dozen of eggs, broke them into cans
and had the cans sealed and then froz-
en-. He packed them in ice and started
for the Klondike. When on the trail
In Alaska man stole a can of eggs.
He was arrested and taken before a
magistrate, who compelled him to pay
to the egg-man a fine of $1,11O. In
attempting to float down Thirty-mile
river his raft upset and his companion
and dogs were precipitated into the
stream. Fortunately the bags of eggs
foated, and he was enabled to get them
all by repeatedly plunging into the icy
water and bringing out his sacks. His
clothes were frozen, but he was able
to thaw them out at hut near there.
He was offered SO per dozen for his
eggs and took the offer, realizing a.
sum of 1921, which, in addition to
the $1,11O he had obtained from the
man that stole one can, made him the
neat sum of 1921. Who can beat this
for an egg story?

exploring the pole would be tried. The
balloon was to start from Spitzbergcn,
where the imitation was to be effected.
The estimated cost amounted to $780,
OOO kroner, about $4,000. A national
subscription was opened, which was
completed in few days by generous
donors. The king of Sweden, wishing
to show the interest taken by him in
the expedition, gave 10000 kroner.
Others made up the sum.
i Having settled the financial aspect of
the question, Andree made several
Journeys all over Europe, in order to
enter into personal communication
With foreign scientific celebrities and
gain their views as to this enterprise
He visited, one by one, the aeronautic-
al establishments, procuring at, the
same time samples of the tissues en-
ployed and obtaining the opinions of
various constructors. Thereupon, on
his return to Stockholm, he carefully
tested the samples which he had
brought and gave the preference to
Chinese pongee silk, cemented together
in double, three-fold and four-fold
layers with varnish. This tissue was
advocated by Lachambre, the French
expert, to whom Andree entrusted the
construction of the balloon. The con
structlon was to reach a total circum-
ference of nearly $50 feet, a diameter
OF over 20 feet and a conical forma-
ton at the base. The upper part was

For making up the envelope 600
pieces of pongee silk of best quality,
each being from II to 10 metres. long

used. All these pieces, after being &C.
mented together were again tried be-
fore being used. The trials were made
by means of a Perreaux dynamometer,

had entrusted the task of testing the
materials used for the construction
of the balloon. NS,t..

which promises better success in ex-
IRENE penetration than any means
hitherto employed. Expeditions by
land or sea have not succeeded in PEN
etrating sufficiently far north to make
their ultimate reaching of the pole
itself at all likely. If the point itself

Andree. has suggested.
His plan suggested itself to him at
least ten years ago, when he had not
yet completed his twenty fifth year.
He was then chief engineer Of the gov
eminent patent Office in Sweden and q
professor in the Swedish Technical
School. He had been experimenting
in aeronautics for four or five wears.
and had succeeded in reducing several
theories for the control Of balloon
to practice. He suggested his plan FOR
polar exploration to the Swedish Acad-
envy of Scientists, and it was approved
by them and their assistance prom
1sed. It was this assistance that ult1-
mately secured the expedition.
Several Of his early ascents were at
tended by perilous adventures. They
were once attended by shipwreck on
the Baltic. Once they carried him
from Gothenburg over the Baltic. AZ
ter having crossed over the whole Of
Sweden, the reefs around the Isle Of
Goeland placed the greatest difficulties
in the way of his landing. This near

ceived the assurance Of the Academy
of Natural Sciences that his project for

Where IS aesess
Andree 5 Balloon?


Where is Herr Andree and the two
intrepid companions with whom he
set out over year ago in search Of
the north pole? Are they alive and
well in some distant and inaccessible
region, from which it is impossible at
present to communicate with the civ
ll1zed world? Are they still founder
ing hopelessly about in the ice-felds Of
the arctic, seeking, as hansen sought
Tor fifteen months, some outlet, some
escape? Or have they yielded up their
lives as have SO many brave explorers
before them in search of that evasive
Wlll-o'-the-wisp? How close were they
able to approach the pole?
Surely, no attempt to reach the pole
ever seemed better assured of a sue
cessful return. Setting out in a bal
loon, which Andree had conclusively
proven could under ordinary conditions
be directed at will, even at a low alti-
tude, they had superior chance of
returning safely to Sweden or some
other northern country. Whether
they reached the pole or not was a.
question which no one could settle. de-
pending entirely upon unknown atmos-
pheric conditions =. prevailing there.
However, they seem to have missed
their chance and to have become be-
leaguered in the frozen north. with
out any means of return, even if they
have not already yielded up their lives.
Starting from Spitzbergen on the
18th day of July, 1897, they were
equipped with food but for two months.
Herr Andree expected to land safely in
Alaska or Siberia after crossing the
polar region. If everything favored
his efforts, he would reach and cross
the pole in three days from his start
ing and land in either North Asia or
Alaska within week. Should he land
in some isolated district it might take
him, according to his calculations. a
fortnight more to reach point whence
he could communicate with Europe.
That he should be gone longer than
two months he never for an instant
considered.
It is plainly evident that his failure
to. be heard from means some mishap
to the balloon. Had he descended in
some unfavorable locality he could, ii
egress proved too difficult to be at
tanned, again begin an aerial flight
which would land him more advanta-
geously. Evidently, then, his balloon
has been impaired or rendered entirely
useless. 1t depends upon the locality
in which this accident occurred wheth-
er he is today alive or has shared the
fate of exploring predecessors. -. =,
Whatever the fate of Andree, he has

High Heels and Tight Shoes.


Many reasons have been given TO,
the preference shown by women gener-
ally for high heels, One is that the
practice adds height to the body; an
other that it adds gracefulness to the
carriage. To the latter we take ex-
ception, for it may do so as long as the
wearers stand still, but when they
move about it imparts what can best
be described as a wabbling motion,
which is the reverse of graceful. Tight
shoes, again, are worn with the object
of making the feet look small, but, as
matter of fact, the better shape
foot is the smaller it will look, but in
the disproportionately small foot there
is always involved an awkward gait.
The foot of tall woman should be
larger than the foot of a small wom-
an. The foot in length should be
the length of the ulna, bone in the
forearm, which extends from pro-
tuberance in the outer portion of the
wrist to the elbow. Of course, the
ulna is longer in tall people, and to be
graceful the foot should be also. Many
people may. be surprised that the foot
should be as long as the forearm, and
might be inclined to dispute the fact
unless proved by demonstration. Big
women sometimes pinch their feet in
tight shoes because they are ashamed
to have them in proportion to their
bodies, and thus in time they deform
them until they are out of all proper
ton to the body, and sometimes in the
direction they do not intend. -

to do his bidding. From two to four
quarts Of water each day was his COM

drank more than a pint was hard
task. However, she had set out in
quest of health, and if it could be

a little strange that the thing which

to everyday life. The invalids who
visit those places drink all the water

suits come from some of its properties.
Sheer nonsense! It is simply very

manufacture step BY step, then exam
ined minutely all the parts and de-

quite in accordance with the desires
expressed by Andree. This examina-
ton was thoroughly satisfactory.
e Andree Immediately prepared to de-
part for spitzbergen. IN the ship
Fran, in which Nansen recently re-,
turned from his northern expedition,
he sailed, carrying the balloon and
the appurtenaRces for Initiating IT..
Arriving at Spitzbergen, a shed was
erected to protect the balloon during
imitation, and the work began. This
was. completed in a trife over a fort.
night, and the expedition was ready.
to sail by July 1.
The wind, which had been favor
able during the greater part of June,
turned and blew dead from the north.
At first it was supposed this would
delay the departure but few days.
AS it persistentiy continued and in
creased in velocity and was attended
by frequent storms, impatience gave
way to anxiety. Still matters grew
worse rather than better. and after
waiting for thirty days for favor
able turn, it was decided to postpone
the departure owing to the extreme
lateness Of the season, and the entire
party, sadly discouraged and disheart-
ened, returned to Europe. 49,
Early in May last year Andree made
his preparations for a second effort.
BY June LIST everything was in order,
and again. the party sailed for their
rendezvous. Arriving about June Is,
imitation again began and proceeded
until completed a week later. Then
very careful examination was made
OF the balloon, and it was found that
several small leaks had been sprung.
These were readily mended, and the
huge structure was pronounced strong
er than it had originally been. So it
seemed. Then, on July 4, Andree an
nounced himself ready to embark.
Between June 1 and July 4 neither
snow nor rain had fallen. At noon
on the latter day heavy storm set
in and lasted for two days. 1t looked
like a repetition of the i'll fortune
of the previous year. On July 8. how
ever, the storm shifted, and a strong
south wind set in. Andree waited
two days longer, and then, on July
II, gave the order to cut loose the
balloon. rtt'.
An affecting scene preceded the en-
trance of the brave trio into the car.
Particularly was the departure of Herr
Strinberg pathetic. He was tortured
by a parting from his fancee, whom
he knew not whether he should ever
see again. Herr Frankel was sur
rounded, too, by loving friends, and
all three hesitated to take the final
step. At last, however, Andree gave
the word, and the trio entered the
car. The knife of the attendants soon
cut loose the last thread that held
the three to the earth.
The high structure moved slowly,
rising to the height of perhaps 300
yards. Then it answered to the wind
blowing from the south and started
it's long flight north.
At first as it started off it sank
rapidly, seeming to intend, plunge
into the sea. Guided by the firm
hand of Andree, however, the sail and
