For Andree.

For Andree.
In the Century, in the second of his
papers on the search for Andree, Jonas
Stadling gives a vivid impression Of
the pains and perlls Of dog-sleddlng in
Siberia.
"To the music Of yelling natives and
bowling dogs our picturesque caravan
started at a frightful speed, some of
the dogs every now and then slipping
on the smooth spots of the ice and
sprawllng on their sides or backs while
being dragged along by the others.
Ahead were seen masses Of heaped-up
ice. was asking myself, How shall
we get over theseP when In a mo-
ment we were in the midst of them,
the drivers yelling out their COM
mands: TO the leftp TO the rightg
Straight onr while the dog-leaders
at the head of the packs, pricklng up
their ears to catch the commands OF
their masters, turned now to the left,
now to the right, between the hum
mocks. while the sledges jumped and
danced over the huge blocks. Gasp
ing for breath, my feet ba in
the air to prevent my legs from get
ting broken, could hardly tell how
this 'mountaln-pass' was cleared. Soon
the whole caravan was on smooth ice
again, and then a new chain of ice
mountains rose in front of us, toward
which the dogs rushed, until a sharp
voice in front yelled, Stop! Stopp A
sledge had been smashed and the load
scattered about. l became nervous,
but the natives, as tranquil as If moth
ing had happened, repaired the sledge,
making a hole here and there by
means of a primitive drill, and tying
together the broken parts with thongs
Of leather, while other natives with
axes and iron-polnted poles cut out a
way between the ice-hummocks, and
after a little more than half an hour
the caravan was again on its way.
Toward noon we were swept by
heavy snowstorm, but the ice became
smoother, and the dogs ran onward
with great speed Only once we took
a short rest, sitting down in a circle on
the ice and RECALLING ourselves with
frozen fish, which the dogs shared. In
places where the wind had swept away
the snow, the crystallized salt, precipi-
tated from the Ice by the cold, made
the sleighlng very heavy. AS we
neared the mainland in the afternoon
the snowstorm ceased. To the south
east and south extended a mountain
chain, STOPPING abruptly to the sea, di-
minishing in height to the west"

Tree. Planted by Blue JAYS.

An Old-time Arizona woodchopper
says the blue jays have planted thou
sands of the trees now growing all
over Arizona. He says these birds
have a habit of burying small seed in
the ground with their beaks, and that
they frequent plnOn trees and bury
large numbers Of the small pine nuts in
the ground, many Of which sprout and
grow. He was walking through the
pines with an Eastern gentleman a
short time ago when one Of these birds
few from the tree to the ground, stuck
his bill into the earth and quickly flew
away. When told what had happened
the Eastern man was skeptical, but the
two went to the spot and, with knif0
blade, dug out a sound pine nut from a
depth of about an inch and a half,

busily, now extracting nectar from a
vine or flower, now apparently weav-
ing or spinning a substance about the
little whitish speck beneath the thistle

dangling from the vine. And these
sacs of the weblike substance are
hung to the vines and flower In all con-
ceiyable shapes. Some are seemingly
attached to the branch by silken coil

These sacs are, for the most part,

can be seen slowly and gradually drag

here in this 'palace" is where the Wis

with n lead pipe coil and is covered

bench and two chairs, are hundreds

pillars.
And so E. Billy Markalon lives to-
day among his butterflies and caterpil-
lars, overcoming nature by merely pro-
viding climatic conditions to suit her
whims. And when the caterpillar be-
comes the butterfly he places it in the
other wing Of the butterfly hatchery,
there to remain until needed. With
an invisible sllken cord noosed about
the head and body Of the full-grown
butterfly, Mr.. Markaon can deftly fas-
ten the live creature in the hair Of the
society belle and leave the large, beau
itful wings of the butterfly such per-
feet freedom in their use that with each
step of the pretty miss the imprisoned
insect will flop and hutter its wings
and the new attention bestowed upon
her will make the wearer's gentle
heart leap and futter joyously.

A Garrison of one.

DumbartOn Castle, the most historic
Scottish military fortress next to Edln.
burgh Castle, has fallen on evil days.
says the London Graphic. The WaI
Office has withdrawn its one soldier,
the last Of the garrison. 1t is under
stood that the castle is to be handed
over to the custody Of the Dumbarton
Town Council, For many hundreds of
years 1t lodged a military garrison,
and contained thousands of ancient
and modern weapons. Among these
was the "Wallace Sword" about six
feet in length, but, to the general in.
dignatiOn, this famous weapon has
been removed to Stirling Castle. The
fortress was visited by Queen Victoria
in 1S49, in the course of her journey

A Funeral Trolley Car.

Baltimore has a number Of fine sub.
urban cemeteries, all of which are
reached by some division Of the street
railway lines, and the company found
by putting in a few crossovers they
could take car from any part of the
city to any one of the burying grounds.
1t was therefore decided to offer cars
for the transportation Of funeral par.
ties, says the Street Railway Review.
The company built special car well
adapted for the purpose. The car is
divided into two compartments, the
smaller OF which has running Its full
length another compartment or vault
in which the casket is carried. A
heavy plate glass door hinged to swing
downward gives access to the vault
from the outside. When casket is to
be placed in the car, the shelf is drawn
out, the casket lifted upon 1t, and the
shelf is then pushed back in place. The
larger compartment has twelve cross
seats in the centre aisle, giving a seat
ing capacity of twenty-four; the small
er compartment has four seats. Heavy
black curtains divide this section into
two private compartments for the i'm
mediate family Of the deceased. Flo
raj contributions are piled upon the top
of the vault, and can be seen from the
street. The car is finished inside and
out with black enamel with nickel
plated fixtures The car has been
named Dolores" meaning sorrow and
1t is rented at from $40 to $50 for each
interment.

How De Wet Handles His Command.


A British officer who was a prisoner
with General de Wet for several days
after the Reddersburg disaster gives Il

Of the way in which he moved his COM
mand about, some of the marches last
ing more than twenty-four hours with
out more than one or two hours rest.
Every Boer was mounted and nearly
every one was accompanied by his
katiir boy, who was mounted, and led
one or more horses. besides carrying
spare ammunition and sometimes a
rife. The Kafirs attended to the in
spanning and outspanning Of the trains
OF Cape carts and wagons, while the
Beers looked after the security OF the
laager. The guns with General de
Wet were under the charge OF Ger.
man, who was well up to his business.
The marches were made straight htacross
