London, and while th>.s he very nearly
became the victim of a dynamite plot.
While he was in one OF the upper rooms
at Paddington Station dynamite bomb
exploded in a cloakroom Immediately be-
meath the room occupied by him. and the
general opinion was that mis- escape from
death or serious injury was little short OF
miraculous.
In July. 1883, he was made a commander
Of the navy. and his next few years were
comparatively uneventful He was almost
constantly at sea-inGeed it is said that
of all the naval captains in the German
navy he IS the only one who has been con-
tinuously on board an irouclad as COM
ma nder since 1892. This statement will be
more clear If We supplement II by saying
that Prince Henry young as he Is. has
spent more than twenty years Of contfnu-
Gus service in the German navy
During many Of these years the public
outside Of Germany heard but little OF him
or Of his work. and IL was not until the
winter of 1897 that be really came. TO the
front in German affairs. At that time II
was announced that the Emperor intend
ed to send his brother 70 China, with the
object Of looking after the German inter-
ests in that country. This action on the
Emperor's part naturally aroused many
which was q that time devoting much at
tention 10 the relations existing between
the various European powers and China.
II Is no wonder therefore, that Prince
TTerrv's visit to China was regarded as
su event Of unusual significance He ar
lived at kiaochau in the spring Of 1885
a nd thence he went 10 Fehlng, Where q
briIlfsnt official reception awaited him.
THE attention of Americans was espe-
cfaIIy attracted toward him about this time

through those fifty-seven days of agony
after which he was able to get on Bis
feet again. He returned to the Unised
States with many boxes of geological
and archaeological specimens-a rich
harvest for the university with which
he is connected. on this trip he and his
companion travelled 1900 miles without
seeing a human being
Having recovered from his rheuma-
tism Professor Hatcher set out upon
his third trip to Patagonia on Decem-
Der 5 last He sailed from New York
with his assistants, Mr.. O. A Peterson
and Mr. Baruum Brown of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History Pro-
fesssor Hatcher took this time some
medicine for rheumatism He shipped
a wagon and four horses. which we're to
draw him and his party through part OF
the region he intended To explore.
The party landed at Sandy Point by
the Straits Of Magellan. They made
that place their base of supplies. The
three journeyed up Patagonia, along
the Atlantic coast, to the Santa Cruz
River. Then they went up the north
fork. the Rio Chico, about $50 miles. The
trio left the Rio Chico with faces
turned northward for 100 miles. They
next jourueyed west 100 miles 10 the
CCrdiIleraS-the snow covered Andes,
with peaks thousands Of feet above the
level of the sea. They were then 400 miles
from the AtIantlc coast ana tUO miles
from Sandy Point. their starting point
The party had Travelled between 1900
and 1900 miles, during which time they
had seen only a few human beings,
mostly TehueIche Indians, along the
Atlantic coast.
At the CordiIleras,. Professor Hatch
er. taking a saddle horse and a pack
mule and only a small quantity Of rice,
salt and pepper, bade his comrades
goodby for six weeks. he Journeyed
entirely alone during that time and vtr-
tually without any provisions.
Il did not want to be bothered" said
he. with provisions. I can kill enough
in a day TO last me for a month"
During the lonely Journey he trav-
ersed 500 miles and slept in his blanket
with the thermometer 10. Is and 20 de-
grees below zero most Of the time, and
with mountain lions and tiger cats
prowling around. He did not see the

He went alone. He reached New York
about a week ago and Immediately re-
joined his family in Princeton
The scientific value of Professor
Hatcher's expedition is said to be great,
but of that he viii not say a word He
and archaeological specimens he OBJ
tained are interesting. Nearly every
genus is represented by one or more
skeletons in forms hitherto only known
n fragments.
He considers that the all important
part Of the collection is some teeth
which belonged to mesozoic animals
No such teeth had ever been found be-
fCre in South America
Doubtless if you saw the man who
made this expedition success you
would never take him for a scientist or
a university professor unless you
talked with him. He is a diamond In
the rough. You might take him for an
intelligent backwoodsman or a typical
rawbOned Westerner-a man something
after the style of Daniel Boone He Is
a little above medium height, with
broad chest. and is slightly bald. His
chin is fairly large, and the frank ex-
preston Of his cOuntenance reveals his
sterling character. His words are few,
and his modesry approaches shyness.
The chances are that he will feel Un-
easy il you compliment him, and no
person can scarcely be more averse TO
being brought into public print than
this man who in the Interest OF science
was HELPLESS on his back in the snowy
wastes of Patagonia for nearly two
months without any medical aid and
with only one companion The world
loves such a man and the modesty
whtE is~cne Of the strongest supports
OF his character makes that affection
real and lasting.

duly so. For instance, they expect d
reasonable compensation for what they
do and for their products.
A quart of whisky will go further
than many dollars. Professor Hatcher
would have been able to save quite a
sum of money if he had taken a good
quantity OF whisky with him to Pata-
gOnia The Indians are not quarrel
some They are kind tG one another.
Parents treat their children with great
tenderness.
Il never saw any children whipped, -
said Professor Hatcher. Parents will
not take anything away from the chill
dreu unless the latter are perfectly will
ing 10 part with the articles. It cost ne
$10o in Argentine money to buy cradle
from an Indian. l had great difficulty
in obtaining it at that price
If you go TO them hungry they will
feed you. They live mostly on the
South American ostrich and the guam
AGO, or camel. The camel is their main
stay. The animal gives them food and
raiment. Their cooking is not as clean
as you may desire, but when you are
down there long you get used 70 it.
The guanaco is about the size Of a
yearIing colt, or half again as large as
the Virginia deer. Its fur has light
brown cOlCr, except in the belly and
TANKS, where 1t is beautifully white.
The Tehuelches make capas. or man
ties of the skin a-d fur of the camel.
They wear the mantles with the fur

Professor Hatcher and his compan-
ions sailed from Port GaHegos, which
is about thirty miles north of the
Straits of Ma ageIIan, in the latter part
of May They went to Buenos Ayres.
Then Professor Hatcher took trip up
the Parana River into Paragua where
he wished TO pursue an investigation.

and went over into Chilean Patagonia.
Some of the glaciers in the Cordtlleras,
he says. are so miles long The scenery
is magnificent.
One Of the grandest spectacles on the
Pacific Slope is Lake Puerrydon,
which is surrounded by luxurious vege-
tation- 1t is down deep below the vast
Andes and is only $50 feet above the
sea level.
Near Lake Puerrydon Professor
Hatcher found a natural amphitheater,
whose slopes were 5000 feet high. Seats
were carved in the rock as if the place
had been intended for some immense
amphitheater.
1t is impossible to cross the Andes
and see the Pacific Ocean, otherwise
Professor Hatcher would have tried it.
Besides, he did not wish to be longer
away from his comrades, who might
fear if he prolonged his journey that
something serious had befallen him
Professor Hatcher has an affection
for the TehueIche Indians, who live IN
the southern part, or what is known az
the Santa Cruz territory of Patagonia
Most of his explorations have been con-
fined to this territory. The Tehuelche
Indians comprise nearly all the popu-
Iation of the Santa Cruz section Of
Patagonia, which is as large in area as
New England. There are not more than
a thousand persons in the territory.
They live on the Atlantic coast The
furthest inland they go is about fifty or
sixty miles The central part and the
Pacific slope of Patagonia are uninhab-
tied.
The Tehuelche Indians are large and
powerful. being about six feet tall.
They have splendid dispositions, are
peaceful and fairly Industrious. The
women are more Industrious than the
men. The Indians are frank generous
and hospitable, though they are not un-

won renown in the field Of re
search. The soldier and sailor give up
their lives in patriotic duty. So, toe

One Of these intrepid men OF more

The second trip was taken between
November, 1897, and November, 1898
This was a journey Of most hazardous
experience for Professor Hatcher. He
~as fortunate in ever being able 10 re-
turn from it alive. For fifty-seven
days he was on his back in the SHOWS
of Patagonia, suffering from a violent
attack OF infiammatory rheumatism.
He was under a tent, wrapped in blan-
kets. He had only one companion, Mr..
A E. Colburn Of Washington, D. c..
There were no persons within many
miles. There were no medical supplies,
and Mr.. Colburn had no medical expe-
rience.

saying goes, had ito grin and bear it"

FFTCIAL and social circles in

IN the news that Prince Henry Of

EmDeror and commander Of the
German squadron In the Pacific, intends to

that he may thence 90 by rail 70 Wasnlng-
Ton in compliance with an invitation re-
Gently extended TO him by President Nc

The general opinion among those VINO
know the Prince is that he Will not lose
this opportunity 70 become acquainted
with the capftal city Of America, and they
are or this opinion because tney kno"
that, the Prince. though born seaman
and never so happy as when on board OF
his flagship is also a keen student Oh men
and manners and has from MS earnest
years at sea loved 70 take inland Journeys
whenever his professional duties permit
ted him TO do so.
Constant activity. indeed, is a marked
characteristic of Heinrich the Navigator,
as his own people love to call him Born
on August Il 1862 he entered the navy
while still lad and most OF his time
since then has been spent at sea. He rose
rapidly in his profession, and even as Tar
back a $ ten years ago thoughtful Germans
predicted that he would some day De tae
admiral Of the German navy.
Not only as all the world knows, is he
a distinguished seaman; he IS also
scholar Of no mean repute and mu-
sician of more than average ability On
questions OF state mis- views are almost
always considered sound. and in ali inter-
national questions that in any way affect
Germany's welfare no one takes deeper
interest than he.
In 1887 Prince Henry went a-wooing,
and a year later he took home to Berlin
a his wife Princess Irene, third daughter
Of the Grand Duke Louis OF Hesse and
Princess Alice OF England. The Prince
had seen a goodly portion OF the world
BY this time He knew his own country
well. and during 1888 and 1854 he spent
some time in Cuba and Bermuda
During the latter year he alzo visited

arising He added that the Irene on re-
turning met outside Manila Bay two
United States cruisers, which did not
speak her. and he said in conclusion that
the removal Of the women and children
was effected from motives Of humanity
and with a strict observance Of the rules
OF neutrality
Prince Henry recently succeeded Ad-
rniraI Won Diedrichs as commander Of the
fleet. d distinction TO which he is clearly
entitled in the opinion of those who know
how carefully he has looked after Ger
nany's interests in China That his
brother. the Emperor. is satisfied with MS
work is evident. and 1t is safe to say that
when he returns to Berlin he will receive
a right royal welcome not only from the
court but also from all classes OF the
people
Meanwhile let him be assured that he
will meet with an equally hearty welcome
II he should see fC 10 become President
McKinIey's guest at Washington. America
has always a hearty welcome for foreign
guests. and especially for those who are,
whether officially or not, the representa-
tives Of great and friendly nations.
