Countess Sophia Andrerona Tolstoi. wife
of the great Russian reformer and author
Is meek. mild woman, whose entire life
has been spent. since her marriage, In min
istering to the wants of her husband and
in rearing her offspring. The Tolstois have
had three children. and for these until
they were ten years old the countess has
made all the wearing apparel She acts as
secretary and critic to the count and chiefly
concerns herself with the table desires Of
her lord and master. Countess Tolstoi is
one of the most cultured women in all Eli
rope. When she was seventeen she re-
ceived diploma from the University of
MOSCOW. One year later she married the
count after romantic courtship which has
been reproduced word for word In that of
Levin and Kitty in Anna Karenina >
Among her manifold duties is that Of look

alties. and 1t is said not a penny escapes

inflated to its full capacity will carry the
buOyS upward not less than three miles,
and southerly air currents will watt them
on their several Journeys Generally they
will be released during the prevalence Of
winds from the north. The natural leak
age of gas will probably cause the balloon
to descend to the ice or water as the case
may be. in from eight to ten hours after it's
ascension. By ingenious arrangement
known as the liberat6r, the lowermoSt buoy
will be released from its attachment i'm
mediately upon contact with water or land
surface This release of it's weight Will
cause the balloon to rebound into the air
and it will then continue it's progress tor
about five hours. dropping again at In
tervals. until the very last buoy has been
deposited either in the polar current or in
the open waters. The carrying power Of
these balloons will insure the buoys being
placed where they will almost certainly be
picked up by arctic whaling and sealing
vessels or even by transatlantic liners
The recovery of these buoys will establish
much valuable data concerning the air and
sea currents of the arctic regions.
1t is impossible to calculate how far
south balloon may go before the las.
buoy will be released, but with the precau-
tionS We have taken for the protection OF
our messages and counting on the strong
winds from the northward which prevail,
We have every confidence that most of the
news We shall dispatch will became known
to the civilized world. and that, too long
before We who are left in the frozen north
shall have returned to tell our personal
stories of our experiences
