To Find the North Pole

An expedition is being planned in
Norway for the discovery of the
north magnetic pole, if indeed such a
spot exists, for it has been suggest
ed that what is called the magnetic
pole may not be definite point, but
considerable area over which the
needle would stand vertically There
is also a question as to the absolute
fixity in position of the magnetic
pole. Capt. r. Amundsen is to COM
mand the expedition, and the ship
Gjoa has been purchased for its use.
The start is to be made in the spring

He has suffered for some time with
whatsome peoplewould call "ricketts'

He used a few boxes of Dodd's Kid

Malaria, etc., and in short time was
completely restored to vigorous, good
health. He is very grateful to Dodd's

CHAPTER XIV.


"Aren't you joking, Waffle 90 asked
Guy, whose credulity was sorely taxed
by the judges statement.
"This is altogether too serious a
matter to joke about. Concord can
spare Keever just as well as not, but
it's big loss to have the records and
the courthouse stolen. I guess We'll
have to tally one for Harmony this
innnigs." /
"This explains what Vlandingham
said to Pinchbeck," said Guy, refec-
lively
"What was that?"
"Why, that fools build courthouses
and wise men occupy them.''
"That's about what it amounts to.
Harmony has the laugh on us now,
and if you run this thing to earth,
I'll bet you find Vlandingham's daugh-
ter at the other end of it. She's the
only one in Harmony who'd be able to
hatch up such scheme" r.-~
Guy remembered how he had seen
Miss Betty in the courthouse, tape
line in her hand, jotting down some
thing in a notebook. It flashed over
him, Just then, that she had been TAX
ing measurements with the view Of
consummating this coup. /
'"How was it done, judge?" queried
Guy. - -.
sEasy enough. The Harmony folks
manufactured, a pair of long axles and
swung each one between a couple of
low, broad-tired wheels. There was
a storm last night, if you remember,
and thatwas exactly what the other
side wanted. The noise of the thun-
der and the wind, and the rain
drowned out the commotion they
made, so that no one in this town
heard them-unlessi it was Keever and
they very soon took care of him, I'll
guarantee. After they had lifted the
courthouse with jackscrews, they slid
the wheels under it, front and rear,
and then ahitched several teams of
horses TO it and hauled it away. You
can see the tracks Of the wheels where

FUTURE OF FLYING MACHINE.
1t In Not Likely That the Cherished
Dreams of Enthusiasts Will
Ever BE Realized

Edison agrees with Hiram Maxim
and Prof. Langley, OF the Smithsonian
Institution, that the really successful
navigation of the air will come with
the building OF flying machines which
depend on thelr power for buoyancy,
not on gas reservoirs of any kind. San
| tos-Dumont is so far in accord with
these eminent students of the problem
he has tried so we'll to solve, that: he
balloons as his nirships have succeed
ed one another and placed more and
more reliance on the motors he uses
for speed and steering.
It says little against the possibilities
If aerial navigation, observes the Cleve-
land Leader, that one very promising
experimenter in the same field where
Santos-Dumont has won renown has
just been dashed to pieces by the burst
ing of his airship while several hun
dred feet above the streets of Paris.
Such deadly accidents are likely in the
early stages of any successful device
| for locomotion on land or sea, as well
as in the air. 1t is to be expected tina t
great discovery will always be paid
for in blood. That seems to be the
law of life.
But the point in regard to flying ma
chimes which appears to constitute an
insurmountableSb barrier to their lasting
success is that they differ totally from
any other machine or appliance which
man has used in practical travel, as to
their destruction if forced to stop while
| in the element they are designed for.
The ideal flying machine would resem-
BILE ship, of great speed and power,
which could not be kept off the bottom
of the sea when it stopped moving.
| But how many persons would ever
ride on a boat which must sink if it
ceased to make Roadway? If it meant
destruction for the engines of steam
ship to stop, would steam have made
the least impression, in peaceful travel
and in the transportation of freight.
upon the sailing vessels with which
steamers compete? In war or for sport
ventures might have been made with
steam craft, but in the course of nor
NAL traffic nothing would have been
done with any type of vessel sure to
sink if it's machinery stopped.
That is a very good reason for be-
lieving that the dreams of wholesale
navigation of the air by flying ma.
chimes, which have been cherished in
many lands for more than a century,
will always remain fancies rather than
solid facts.

s.,
said he, cas- I am leaving Concord on
business appertaining to the county
seat"
'What name?'' inquired the new
hand.
"Herbert."
"Wait! Stop! don't think you can
have that horse!" cried the hostler,
who was familiar with Guys name if
not with his face.
But Guy was well away by this time
and gave no heed to Herkimer's sum-
mons.
There were two roads leading to
Amityville. The shortest road paral-
leled the railroad track and led directly
through Harmony. In order to follow
this route it would have been necessary
for Guy to traverse the main street of
Concord and bear west from the depot.
Ne did not care to do this, or to run
the risk of being halted in Harmony,
so he debouched southwark along the
other road and angled toward Amity-
Vile by way of Lake Elizabeth.
This latter course had been the one
taken by the men who had spirited
away the courthouse and Guy saw,
stretching out before him, the broad,
deep wheel marks of the gigantic truck
which had been improvised by the Har-
monyites.
When near Lake Elizabeth he sud-
denly glimpsed half dozen horsemen
galloping rapidly toward him. It was
too late to beat a retreat, or to gain
unnoticed the friendly shelter of the
trees on the bank of the lake. He had
been so deep in his, thoughts that the
horsemen were within short quarter
of a mile: of him before he discovered
their approach. II. q. II.
