news came. A month elapsed and still
no news of him out Of which anything
much could be made. Then Andree's
lie began to feel great anxiety. Six
weeks elapsed and as nothing was
heard of the aeronaut that could be
credited. an expedition was sent out by
the Swedish Geographical and An
thropolOgical Society in search of An
dree. This expedition reached the
neighborhood of the Lena delta, where
a most perilous portion of the journey
lay before them. There they built
boat and In the necessarily frail craft
crossed the open sea to the mouth of
the Olenck and thence proceeded to the
new Siberian Islands, where, it was be-
lieved, traces of the Andree expedition
might be found. But no traces were
found and the searchers made. their
way back to Sweden as best they could
Since then the search has in various
ways been continued, but all without
avail
Imagined or faxed reports of An
have from time to time been sent over
the world. whose effect has been to
keep alive in many people the hope that
he may yet be found alive. But the
opinion of the most is that he was lost
but few hours or possibly days after
his floating away from the sight of his
friends, and yet if such We're the fact
it would seem strange that some indis-
putable evidence was not long ago dis
covered. But it is not so strange that
no evidence of the disaster has been
discovered, as would be Andree's sur
vival after all these years In the polar
region. And now again men of science
and meteorological observation are GO
ing over the known facts and SO long
after the almost certain catastrophe are
able satisfactorily to themselves to es-
tablish that Andree was ignorant or
disregardful of meteorological condi-
tions and that he was more foolhardy
than any Of his predecessors had been.
And this appears to be true enough

nearest to the geographical pole that
could be reached by the balloon.
The explorer also took with him thir.
ty-two carrier pigeons. Some were ex-
pected to return to Danes Island
where they had stayed for more than
month. but it was feared they would
never return to Sweden. as from Spitz.
bergen alone they would have had to
travel distance of nearly $500 kilo-
meters in order to find their dove cote.
From the pole to Sweden would be
1880 meters. Such a distance has. as
far as is known, never been traversed
by carrier pigeons. After these means
of conveying messages had been ex'
hausted Andree would naturally have
recourse to the familiar method of in
closure in bottles.
Three days after starting seal hunt

of Spitzbergen, killed a carrier pigeon
which had come from Andree's balloon.
From the pigeon this message was
taken:

grees minutes east.-Good speed to-
ward the east; ten degrees to south.

No News of the Missing Man During
xhe Past Four Years.

It Is now nearly four years since s. A.
Andree, the Swedish aeronaut, in his
balloon rose in air on Amsterdam ISL
and and confidently set out for the
north pole. TO him was attracted at
uhce the hopeful aud the anxious notice
Uf both the scientific and the unscien-
Mfic in every country. 1t was the most
wonderfully daring attempt ever con-
ceived Of in aeronautics and 1t abso-
tutely eclipsed all previous enterprises
conducted in ships and looking to the
discovery of the north pole.
Mr.. Andree had been known as an aer-
Onaut for twenty years, but he was
something more than that. He was a
theoretical mechanic, whose theories
were believed to be more sound than
any other mans in Sweden. He was
indeed more than theorist-he had
accurate knowledge of the practical
arts and inventions of his time. So
well We're his knowledge and abilities
known that the Swedish government
appointed him chief engineer of the
patent office These facts, being gen.
erally in possession of the world public,
strongly predisposed large part of
that public to believe that he would be
successful in his surprising aeronautic
undertaking. Nor was the idea of cross.
ing to the pole in balloon new one.

Victoria. This capital is an admiralty
coaling station, about thirty days tray-
ell from London.
Most of these islands rise deeply from
the sea. Those of the Aldabra group
and the islands of Mauritius and Re-
union are of volcanic origin. The Sey-
chelles proper are Of granite formation.
and from them to the west the sea deep
ems rapidly until soundings have been
taken from 5000 to 1900 feet.
Most peculiar of these island groups
are the Seychelles, with their towering
mountains, crowned with castellated
blocks of gray granite and even the
valleys studded with them. The noun
tains rise from 1900 to 5000 feet above
sea level and are sources of many of
the rapid streams that course through
the islands. The rainfall in year
NAV aggregate 100 inches or more, and
these wash down the granite fragments
from the hills. cutting gorges and can
yons in the rock formation. The rocks,
however, serve the purpose Of retain
ing the rich soil of the islands and most
of them are jungles of tropical vegeta-
ton.
/, It is land of ease and plenty. Gre
oles from Mauritius and Reunion ef-
fected a settlement of the main islands
about $50 years ago. In 1850 negroes
were imported as laborers from Mozam-
bioue. Europeans, Indians and Chinese
have followed until the population OF
the eighteen inhabited islands is about
10000 of all shades. most of them
speaking the French tongue, in spite of
the 100 years occupancy by the Brit.

broke this up, however, and for many
years the islands have been the home

The Britiah Government Offers the
Seychelles for Lease.
Somebody, having the price and being
SO disposed, may take a long term
lease on the site Of the Garden Of
Eden. The British government Of the
Seychelles In the Indian Ocean has
given notice that bids will be received
for periods Of nine, twenty-one and
thirty years on the islands of the Aida
bra group proper. the Cosmoledo group,
and the islands Of 4Astove and Assump-
ton. AS to just which one of the ISL

however, the man who takes the lease
must determine.
According to travellers almost any Of
these islands might easily fill the fanci-

China's Coal Fields.

China contains some of the richest
coal deposits in the world. Last fall
Prof. Drake, of Tien-tsin, visited the
coal fields in the province of Shansi,
which were examined by Baron Won
Richtofen in 1870, and found that they
are of immense extent. The coal area
is said to be greater than that of Penn
sylvania. and the anthracite coal alone
contained in these fields has been esti-
mated at 630,OOO,OOO tons. The Shansi
coal beds are SO thick and lie so uni
formly In horizontal position that the
practicability has been suggested of
running long lines Of railway tunnels
through the beds SO that the cars can
be loaded in the mines all ready for dis
tant transportation.
