messages. With the balloons he will take 400 small buoys, in the interior of which the messages will be placed. These buoys are spherical in shape, about three inches in diameter, and are made of copper and cork. There is 8 small weight on one side, to act as small metal flag on the other. This flag or pennant rises about ten inches above the buoy, and it's purpose is to attract attention. On the pennant these letters are stamped: Baldwin Zeigler, 1901" When one of these bal looms is to be sent up ten of the buoys are attached to it by long cord, one under the other. By an ingenious de vice each buoy will automatically re- lease itself the moment it comes in con tact with ice or water and will float away. The buoys weigh about ten pounds each, and the release of that much weight on the the descent of the balloon will cause it to rise in the air again and drift for another long dis tance. In this way the ten buoys, each with message inside denoting the lat
 itude and longitude of the ship when sent up, will be distributed over wide area. Evelyn Baldwin has sailed from New York for Tromsoe, Norway. The expedition steamer America is now at Dundee, Scotland, being fitted out, and is expected to reach Tromsoe by the time MT. Baldwin gets there. The sup ply steamer Frithjof is now at From soc, and as soon as MT. Baldwin arrives the two steamers will proceed to Franz Josef Land. The start for the pole will be made from there the latter part of July. The expedition will consist of 40 men, Is Siberian ponies and 400 dogs.

sell out for 12 years, and at the end of Is years the author lost no less than $6,OOO through his publications. The strongest man, however, is the man who can wait, and Herbert Spen- cer waited. The scientific method of studying human life began to find willing pupils, not only among scien- lists, but also among young students of philosophy at the universities and workingmen, who gave up their even- ings to the study of technical or so- cial sciences. Few books of philos- ophy have enjoyed so wide a popu- larity or sale as the Data of Ethics, ' where flowing and persuasive argu- ment delight and enchant the reader. Spencer's life, says the Detroit Free Press, has been in some measure a contradiction of the theory of hered- ity. Born and bred in an atmosphere of Methodism and democratic poli- tics. he has been the arch-apostle of individualism, and is going down to the grave an agnostic. But the spirit of the pure home life of his early days has remained with him. His sense of justice, his love of truth, are as keen as his desire to know.
 His great life work, "A System of Synthetic Philosophy" is perhaps the greatest scientific literary undertake ing ever accomplished by a single man. It's ten volumes have occupied MT. Spencer's life for practically 40 years.
 '. Ill health joined hands with poverty in fighting against the progress of the tremendous work MT. Spencer had taken upon himself, and break down followed breakdown. But at last he was able to write "Finis" to volume ten, and to record his "satis- faction in the consciousness that losses, discouragements and shattered health have not prevented me from fulfilling the purpose of my life"

Dr. Ira c. Remsen, the new presi- dent of Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore, has been a member of the

When Dr. Gilman started out to build up a faculty Dr. Remsen was the first man to whom he rendered a chair. For 25 years he has been the confidant and adviser of Dr. Gilman, and he is regarded by both students and faculty as a thor ough scholar and an able educator.

Few persons, even those who are in the postal service, know that United States mail is carried in the oldest sail ing vessel in the water to-day, and that the vessel has been a pirate ship and a slayer. Its name is the, Vigilant, and it carries the mails from St. Croix to St. Thomas in the West Indies. In speed itfompares favorably with many steamboats which carry the mails, and it can distance anything that is pro- pelled bS wind in any postal service.

PINE NEEDLE TRUST.
A New Oregon Industry Which
 Promises to Pay We'll.
Originated by a German from the Forests of Thuringfa-Lenves Far nish Medicinal Oil and
 Fiber for Pillows.

The utilization of the pine needles of the yellow Oregon pine, botanical ly Pinus Ponderosa, is becoming an industry of considerable importance on the Pacific coast. Fifty years ago it was discovered that the extracts and products of the long, slender leaves of the pine possessed real effi- cacy in complaints of a pulmonary character. It is claimed that insom- mia yields to the influence of the pun gent odor, and asthmatics have found real relief in partaking of the oil and in sleeping upon pillows stuffed with the elastic and fragrant fiber manufactured from the interior sub stance of the pine leaves. The il- limitable forests of yellow pine abounding in the state of Oregon, with their accessibility to through lines of transportation, suggested to German from the forests of Thurin- gia the transfer of a lucrative busi- ness to the Pacific coast. In Ger many the leaves never exceed two inches in length, while in Oregon they often exceed 30 inches, and av- craze 20 In the former country the forest laws are extremely strict and often prohibitive, obliging the maker of the product to use the dried leaves that have fallen to the ground and thus insuring an inferior and less eff. fective quality of goods. In the west. ern state denuding the yellow pine of it's leaves has been encouraged, the expert of tke forestry commis- sion having pronounced the process as beneficial. A tally kept of the weight gathered from certain num- Der of trees indicated, according to the Scientific American, that the crop taken in April weighed $50 pounds, while that of the same trees in Oc- tober yielded ITS pounds. Two crops are gathered yearly. the later one

HIS LIFE WORK DONE
Herbert Spencer, Greatest Philoso-
 pher of Our Genera tion.
Has Been Poorly Paid for His Unri- valed Contributions to the Worlds Best Thought = His Deep
 Love of Truth.

Herbert Spencer, whose name will live in the world of thought as that of one of the nineteenth century's greatest thinkers, has recently passed his eighty-first birthday. After life time of self-sacrifce and privations, the great philosopher finds himself at the threshold of the grave almost as poor in worldly possessions as when he started the career that has brought him so much fame, but so little pecuniary recognition. There is something almost pathetic in the ife- work of a man like Herbert Spencer. The son of schoolmaster, MT. Spen- cer was educated very largely at home by his father, though he also went to 8 school. at Bath, England. the headmaster of which was his uncle. From 1887 to 1s46 he piled the profession of civil engineer, and for five years later acted as subeditor of the London Economist before he turned to the work with which his name will always be identified.
 It is as a popular philosopher that Herbert Spencer seems to hold his reputation, and yet one must read the account of his self-sacrifice and privation before one can realize the tremendous battle which the best known philosopher of this century found any readers at all. Social Statics," certainly rather unhandy book, took 14 years to sell, although the edition ran only to 750 copies. The Principles of Psychology" with a first edition of 75o copies, did not

Black Cat Brings HI Luck.

The evil influence of a black cat has brought to ashes the fine country residence of George Walradt, near Co., lumbus, Neb. The animal was a stray cat which the family had adopted for luck and had been fed and groomed until it's coat shone like velvet. After the family had left the supper table the impatient animal sprang upon the table, and in reaching for 8 juicy morse1 upset the kerosene lamp. Hard work on the part of the family and the neighbors resulted in saving part of the household goods. The
 building was burned to the ground with a loss of $5,0OO. The black mis- ehiaf maker has not been seen since.

 being always the largest. The leaves of the young trees are preferred, yielding better quality of oil, it is said, though this fact is Sasbted. The leaves are stripped from she trees by women and men who are hired for the purpose, and who are paid 25 cents a hundred pounds for the needles. Five hundred pounds is regarded as an average days work. The leaves are picked into sacks and hurriedly sent to the factory. Ex posture to the sun causes the leaves to wilt and impairs the quality of the product. In picking, the thickest punches of leaves are selected, and the scanty ones neglected. The vast quantity available, so far beyond any present demand, permits the picker to thus discriminate. The factory at which the essences and extracts of capacity for handling 2,0o0 pounds of leaves per day; but it is soon to be enlarged to about four times it's pres ent size.
 In the extraction of pine oil 2,OO0 pounds of green leaves are required to produce ten pounds of oil. The process is the ordinary one of dis tillation. In the manufacture of fiber the leaves pass through process of steaming, washing, drying, etc., 12 in all, occupying four days. Two quali- ties are produced, first and second. The first, from which no oil has been dis titled, is worth upon the market about ten cents per pound. The fiber is elastic and the staple only little shorter than the green leaf from which it was made, and with strength sufficient to enable it to be spun and woven into fabrics. Mixed with hair, the fiber makes an excellent mate rial for mattresses or pillows, and repose comes quickly when resting upon them. It is also used as par tial filling for cigars, imparting a flavor not the least disagreeabIe, and calming to the nerves. The oil ex- tracted gives an agreeable flavor to candies. Toilet soaps are made, strongly impregnated with essential oil of pine needles.
 The fiber itself, after curing, looks like slender shaving of some dark wood, retaining it's odor indefinitely. Insects abhor it on that account. It is said that the Oregon factory is the only one in the world outside of Germany. -...-

ERA OF COMBINATION
Community of Railroad Ownership

Two-Thirds of Entire Mileage Is Di- vided Into Nine Groups, All of Which Will Eventually Work
 i'm Perfect Harmony.

A map of the United States show ing the owners of two-thirds of it's railway mileage is given in the Com mon Carrier. This paper shows that owing to an understanding or agree ment, verbal or written, generally the latter, half a dozen financial leaders control two-thirds of the railway mileage of the United States and thus maintain rates. The article, as distracted in the Railway Digest, gives the names of seven or eight men who thus control 1OS, ,404 miles of road, and the table of roads, grouped as controlled, is given below. Says the latter paper:
 ''The writer further remarks that community of ownership will not mean low wages or high rates. Un- der private ownership men of ability will be well paid. It is the govern ment that pays modest salaries for responsibility. Railway owners be- lieve with Andrew Carnegie: There is no price too dear to pay for per fection.'"
