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 n theorist-he had
accurate knowledge of tie practical
arts and inventions of his time. SO
well were his knowledge and abilities
known that the Swedish government
appointed him chief engineer of the
patent Office. These facts, being gen
orally In possession of the world public,
strongly predisposed a 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.
1t was of French origin and first CON
ceived by Sivel, who In 1873 laid his
project before the French Society OF
Aerial Navigation. But Sivel lost his
life soon afterward In the accident to
the balloon Zenith. The project lay in
allegiance until 1890, when 1t was taken
up again by two Parislans-Hermite
and Besancon-who submitted a plan
that was carefully and scientifically
thought out to the minutest detail, but
the means could not be raised to carry
the plan into even experimental effect.
Mr.. Andree, however, carefully exam
lned it and compared his own with 1t
and studied the design for the balloon
that was not built.
Proudly and majestically the balloon
rose and Andree gazed with happy con
fidence on those who remained behind,
and then he and his comrades. waving
their caps. he cried out, Greetings at
home to Sweden"
80 Communicate with the World.

loon voyage on July IL, 1897, took will

The custom of keeping horseshoes
the time when in every home was the
picture of the patron saint. About the
head of the saint was the distinguished
halo, which was frequently made of
metal, sometimes the shape of horse
shoe. When anything happened to the
picture the halo was kept and remained
fastened to the door, in order that the
saints influence might still prevail.
AS the bit of metal was the most sub
stantial part of the picture 1t soon be-
this part only, and the horseshoe fol-
lowed logically as a prevention against
evil.

him twelve dispatch buoys, each con-
tanning sphere of cork twenty cent?
meters in diameter, coated with thick
coat of paint, partly blue and partly
yellow. At the upper portion was a
copper stopper inscribed with the
words, "Andree's Polar Expedition,
1896" and number. This stopper
closed a cavity cut In the cork, to re-
eeiye a tube in which documents or
messages from the explorers were to
be inclosed. The buoys were to be
thrown out at different points Of the
voyage of the balloon. A thirteenth,
larger than the others, was to be left
at that point of the route that should be
neaiest to the geographical pole that
could be reached by the balloon.
The explorer also took with him thir-
ty-two carrier pigeons. Some We're ex-
peeted to return to Danes Island,
where they had stayed for more than
a month, but 1t was feared they would
never return to Sweden, as from Spitz-
bergen alone they would have had to
travel a distance of nearly $500 lSilo-
meters in order to and their dove cote.
From the pole to Sweden would be
$500 meters. Such 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 a seal hunt
er to the west of Phipps Island, north
of Spitzbergen, killed carrier pigeon
which had come from Andree's balloon.
From the pigeon this message was
taken:

grees minutes east.-Good speed to-

The United States has sixty-fve Co
operative colonies.
1t will be shown by the new United
States that fully 100000 married
women are employed In factories.
Common laborers in Spain get from
80 to 40 cents per day in the larger
towns and from 20 to 80 cents In the
rural districts.
The only factory In the country that
turns out glass marbles has just been
built at Steubenville, oaio, and the
production will be 100000 per day.
Milwaukee's great crane, operated
by electric power cost $4,000 and can
| lift 200 tons. 1t has a slxty-five-foot
span, and will be operated on track
| fifty-six feet from the floor.
At Newport News, Va, during the
time constituting working day, 15,-
57S tons of coal were dumped from
the Chesapeake and Ohio coal piers
into the vessels waiting to receive 1t.
Perry made the first steel pens at
Birmingham in 1924, selling them at 90
cents apiece. The weekly output of
that city just now Is 20,O0O,000 and
some are sold for 5 cents n gross.
Two hundred unions connected with
the New York Workingmens Educa-
tional and Home Association have de-
cided to erect n labor temple. The sum
of $14 800 has been collected to pay for
the ground which will cost $4,000.
The new temple will have roof gar
den, 4 gymnasium and club rooms.
Typographical Union No. Q. OF New
York, was asked by Comptroller Coler
recently to submit to him an estimate
of the cost of u municipal printing
plant The union announced that the
plant would cost $205,000 and the
building for the plant about $25O,0
or 100000 for building and plant 10
gether.
OF the total exports Of the United
States In 1899, only 1878 per cent went
to the countries of the western hemi-
sphere, and of that only 200 per cent
went south of the equator. Although
we buy more of Brazll's great staples
coffee and rubber-than all Europe
combined, five other nations excel us In
exports to Brazilian markets.
South Carolina negroes have started
a new industry by the manipulating Of
phosphate rock. During the summer
they anchor boats on the Coosaw River,
which is from seventeen to twenty-five
feet deep, and dive for the fertilizing
rock, sometimes bringing up a frag-
ment weighing 100 pounds. The phos-
phate from the river bed is the most
valuable known.
