two months he never for an instant
considered.
It is plainly evident that his failure
to be heard from means some mishap
ito the balloon. Had he descended in
some unfavorable locality he could, if
egress proved too difficult to be at
..tained, again begin an aerial flight
which would land him more advanta-
geously. Evidently, then, his balloon
has been impaired or rendered entirely
useless. It 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
suggested a means Of polar exploration
which promises better success in ex-
treme 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
lis ito be traversed, 1t evidently must
jbe done by some aerial means such as
iAndree has suggested. sfs
i His plan suggested itself to him at
least ten years ag when he had not
yet completed h ,stwenty-ffth year.
He was then chic engineer Of the gov
ernment patent Office in Sweden and a
professor in the Swedish Technical
School He had been experimenting
in aeronautics for four or FIVE years,
and had succeeded in reducing several
theories for the control Of a balloon
to practice. He suggested his plan for
polar exploration to the Swedish Acad-
emy Of Scientists, and It was approved
.Iby them and their assistance prom.

and brass placed inside. % i
~ The roof Of the car was a disk or.
cover likewise Of basket work, con-
vex in order to prevent any accumula-
tion of water. Cross pieces of wood
were fixed inside the roof in order to
support the occupant when making OBJ
servations. Above the flattened part
the cylindrical part Of the car was
fitted with two square windows with
glass panes, and the bottom of the
car had two square openings closed
by wooden trap doors. The whole
was covered with tarpau!in.
The aeronauts expected to spend
most Of their time on the roof making
observations. The = base of the car
was fitted with sleeping apartments
where they could rest or take shelter
from severe storms, or retire for their
stores of provisions. y.
The balloon was completed in April,
1896, and tried on May 3: Andree's
experts: who had. followed up the
manufacture step by step, then exam
ined minutely. all the parts and de-
clared the material to be faultless and
quite in accordance with the desires
expressed by Andree.. This examina-
ton was thoroughly satisfactory: -
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 appurtenances for initiating it.
Arriving at Spitzbergen, a shed was
erected to protect the balloon during
inf1ation,> and the work began. This
was completed in a trifie over a fort
night, and the expedition was ready
to sail by July i. H.. ..,-
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 a few days.
AS it persistently 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

lateness of the season, and the entire

slider it as the result Of malnutuition,
either from an insuficiency of food or
lack of some required chemical ingrea-
lent. In sheep it is seen most often n
winter, when food is scarce or lacks
variety; in lambs it happens ordinarily,
according to Friedberger and FrohneT,
when the milk-giving ewes are fed'too
sparingly and where there is a def
cheney of milk, or if its chemical COM
position is poor. It is said that in such
cases the trouble has been cured D5'
furnishing the lambs with cows milk;
while in spring it disappears under the:
influence of a change of diet. or greens
grass. We incline to the opinion that
both imitation and lack of needed nu--
trients produce the wool-eating habit:
as habit acquired by the young lamb
from accidentally getting wool locks
into it's mouth when sucking an udder
that has not been denuded OF its wool
tags by the attentive shepherd. We
think, too, that lambs suck the wool at
first just as young calves do each 9TH
er's ears, and that they gradually learn
to eat the wool in this way, and later
on may develop wool balls in their
stomachs and succumb to their pres
ence. When lambs become confirmed
wool eaters, digestive troubles appear;
they lose flesh, their growth is retaro-
ed; they become constipated and may
die of Inflammation. Treatment lndl-

About ChurninS.

When butter is salted in the churn
and allowed to stand two to four hours

room at the right temperature before
working, or when the butter is twice

grain is we'll preserved, says write:
in Farmers Advocate. When worked
twice the butter should be worked the
first time just enough to incorporate
the salt, be allowed to stand two Or
four hours in a room whose tempera-
ture is between 81 and SIS degrees, and.
worked sufficiently the second time to
make the color even. Either of these.
methods of sailing and working butter
entails more work than sailing and
working the butter all at once, and:
though both are excellent methods, yet
it is quite safe, and more speedy, to,
adopt the method of sailing on the
worker and completing the working ofi
the butter at the same time, if proper
conditions as to temperature, ETC., are
observed. However, I would advise.
the adoption of either the method Of.
sailing in the churn or the twice
working method if troubled with mot
tied butter or if you cannot control the
weather. They are especially safe
methods for beginners. Practice daily,
examining sample Of the butter If
the previous day as to color, etc. Do
not mistake curdy specks in the butter
for mottles. q They will not dissolve
with the heat if placed between the
fingers, and are caused by the. cream
being overripe and not strained into
the churn. - &.4 5S #

The members of the Wichita
Girls Bachelor Club have
pledged themselves to marry
none but Gen. Funston's brave
boys of the Twentieth Kansas
Volunteers. AS the Kansas heroes
have expressed no desire to marry
the Wichita girls the clubs sudden
determination to accept them as
husbands whether they want to or
not, may prove little embarras
sing. Since the announcement has
been made that the Wichita girls
have made up their minds to capture
the whole regiment it is feared that
the gallant fellows will re-enlist for
further service in the Philippines.
II is claimed that the boys, know
ing the belligerent proPensities OF
the Wichita article, prefer to con

render to the gay daughters of the

The Hunter Canal.
Abbeville Meridional.

Abbeviile M~ridional.
July the fourth was fitt;ngly
chosen by Capt. S. S. Hunter of
Shreveport, who has been securing
the right of way and making suve> S
preparatory to locating 4 definite
route for the canal for the past
three mounths, as the occasion to
break dirt on his huge irrigating
canal. The work was begun on
Vermilion river, ten miles north of
Abbevlle, in this parish, and where
the pumping plant will be located.
This canal will be built from the
Vermilion river, running ten miles
west, thence five miles south, and
again five miles west making in all
twenty miles main canal. In addi
ton to the main canal there will
be numerous laterals running out
along its route. This canal will be
200 feet wide and will have a
capacity of irrigating 1000 arces
of rice land. This will be one Of
the largest irrlgating canals in the
world. There are at present force
Of hands with a hundred and thirty
mules at work throwing up the
levees, and tram of ten carloads
of mules and scrapers are in transit,
from Shreveport and will arrive at
the canal the early par: Of next week.
While it is to be regretted that the
route first selected, starting from
the bayou at Adam Boudreaux's
place, has been abandoned, we are
glad to know there is chance of
some of our local people taking up
the project and building a canal
westward from that point.
