WALTER WELLMAN HOME.
festeFday-Hc Is still on
CrutcheS,

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Walter Wellman,
the Arctic explorer who recently returned
from a journey of exploration in Franz
Josef Land, arrived IN this city to-day
on the s'eans hip Umbria. He was accom-
panied from England by his wife. This af-
ternoon Mr.. and Mrs Wellman took a train
Tor their home in Washington. The severe
injuries the explorer received from fall
IN an ice creVasse still kept him upon
crutches and he had to be assisted from the
ship by his wife and u friend.
Mr.. Wellman left Tromsoe. Norway, in
June OF last year for the purpose of eX-
plorinS Franz Josef Land. His progress
was arrested by the accident in which his
right leg was injured. When asked to-day
about the accident he said:
When once sledge dogs get stuck with
their load i'll rough ice they are more OBJ
5tinate than mules and you have got TO
aelp them out yourself. On March 20, my
dogs got stuck in rough ice and | got out
OF the sled, took of their harness and put
it around my chest and shoulders, intend
ing to do my own teaming until the dogs
became more tractable. AS | was walk
ing along head down and hauling my Sled
put my foot into crack in the ice
eighteen inches deep and covered with
snow as TO be hidden. My right leg went
down the creyasse, scraping the shinbone
and otherwise injuring the limb.
For eight consecutive days 1 walked
across the ice thus injured, and then fell
exhausted in the snow. My companions
helped i,el bed me up, put me on a sledge and
headquarters house at Cape Tegethofr,
where remained in bed, crippled. from
Aprii to July !. In August, went to
London for surgical treatment I live in
the hope that ] am not permanently Grip
pied"
Mr. Wellman was also asked if he had
any hope or expectation that Professor
Andree's attempt TO reach the pole in q
palloon had been successful.
1t IS my conviction" he said, that Pro-
fessor Andree's airship, shortly after it's
ascent, was driven to the eastward and
southwark and destroyed in its descent by
contact with ice when falling into Barentz
sea, Which Is TO the eastward of SpitZberg-
en-, Tor there was plenty of ice in that sea
in July two years ago
Two days after his ascent Professor
Andree released two homing pigeons with
a message to the effect that his balloon
was going eastward and southwark which
would bring him over Barentz sea. If the
!lfting power of his gas had become ex-
hausted and he was forced to descend
his car would drag and his buoys stores
and supplies would be scattered broadcast.
his airship demolished and he and his two
companions destroyed. / have no hope of
hearing of any OF them again.

| making. This method had already been
| seized upon by numerous municipalities
| which have sold the space on certain pub
lie buildings to advertisers. as the panels
| of city railway cars are dispensed of in
| the United States.
'.As the railway stations, gendarmeries
| custom houses, entrepots, barracks, and
| numerous Other public buildings, as well
as the packages in which several kinds OF
| monopoly goods are sold. are entirely under
| the control f the government, It is evil
dent that it has advertising facilities at
/ its command which entirely eclipse in ex-
tent and vame anything that private ad-
vertisers can offer The value of these
may be greatly enhanced by legal re-
strtctiOns upon the owner of private prop
erty. preventing the sale of space for
similar purposes.
The latest device of this sort-or per-
haps one should say the first govern
| mental enterprise In this fields the lettre
annonces. or advertising postpaid letter
sheet One-half of the sheet, of ordinary
letter-size paper and rather poor quality,
| is devoted to advertising except a space
Of about 4i2x5i5 inches, reserved for the
| address. on which IS printed a 15-centime
postage samp. The letter Is written on
the other half of the sheet. which is then
ingeniousy folded and held by a gummed
flap. The whole thing is sold for 10 CEN
times; that Is. two-thirds of the price of
single letter postage, or exactly the same
as postal card. BY this means the pur-
chaser Saves one-third the postage and gets
his paper and envelope for nothing
"Nomnally the scheme is worked by
corpordion-'SOciete Anonyme'-but as II
sells pcstage stamps at one-third off and
has its wares for sale at the postofices
and government tobacco shops IL is prac-
tically q government enterprise. The new
system will evidently take the place Of the
postage card. but the receipts from the
advertising will enable the government to
make substantial profit out of the
projec.'
