was also a very expensive affair. The

critics of Mr. Marconi's announcement.
When Mr.. Tesla made the sensational
statement about a year ago that he
had received some mysterious signals
which he believed to originate from
consciousness outside our planet alto
sether, Mr.. Marconi was careful to
warn the public that atmospheric elec-
tricity was quite able to produce all
the effects on which Mr.. Tesla was In
clined to base a new theory of "otheI

suggests a meteorological explanation

Very ancient though these remains
are, going back to the close of the

domesticated animal in western Eu-

those of haltered horses. Some of the

Admirars Reception to a King.

The fondness of navy officers for
telling Jokes at each others expense is
we'll known, and their yarns, like the
traditions of the Indians, are handed
down from one generation to the
next.
Years ago there was brusque old
admiral upon whom many stores were
told-in most cases true ones.
At one time, when the war ship of
which the admiral was in command
was off the coast of Portugal, the king
of that country expressed a desire to
visit an American man-of-war.
The admiral received the party with
great cordially, but, instead of ad-
dressing the royal visitor as your ma
jesty," he invariably called him
king"
1t was step this way, king" Look
out for your head, king" when show
ing him about the vessel and before
his majesty departed the admiral con-
vulsed all within hearing by saying,
Hospitality. King, come down to the
cabin and have a drink. "-Lippincott' s

OF Interest to Cooks.

So few cooks understand why veg
ctablcs should be cooked in boiling
sailed water; why meat should be
scared before roasting; why cereals
require long cooking; why yeast,
soda, cream Of tartar aud baking
powders are used TO raise bread ard
cake batters. They do know if they
combine certain ingredients, Ger
tain results follow, but they rarely
comprehend that too much or too
little material in teaspoon or meas
uring cup will ruin the combination.
The art Of cooking and seasoning
vegetables is lost one, Judging
from the flat, tasteless messcs often
served Meats are over done, un-
der done or burned, and fish is
sometimes a watery horror or q fried
nightmare, while cereals are lumpy
or pasty and toast is scorched.
How rare is a cup OF good tea or cof-
feel The first is boiled more often
than stepped, while the second is
muddy and rank in flavor. Now
there is only one right way to cook,
while there are countless wrong
ways, and it concerns the health Of
the nation that the right way should
be taught, line upon line, precept
upon precept, in season and out of
season Coed Housekeeping.

Motor Cars for the Pole.


Another Arctic expedition is be-
ing organized, the promoter being
Capt. Joseph E. Bernier, Canadian
sea captain. Capt. Bernier, who is
now in London, says his effort to
reach the North Pole will take at
least four years. His ship will be al
lowed to drift for three winters and
two summers. BY that time he ex-
poets to be within 100 or $50 miles
of the Pole, and final dash will
then be made to cross the ice.
Capt. Bernier has prepared plans
for q steel-sheathed ship 100 feet
long, 36 feet beam and ID feet deep,
The captain expects to heat his ship
partly by electricity and partly by
steam. A distilling apparatus will
be carried, so that pure water will
be always assured, and two electric
stoves for cooking purposes willlalso
be carried. The electric stoves will
also be used for keeping the vessel
thoroughly dry. Capt. Bernier de-
clares that dampness is the greatest
enemy of the Arctic explorer.
The ship will be fitted with com
plete system Of telephones, so that
communication between the wheel
houses, engine-room, crows nest
and cabins will always be possible.
A telescope pole fitted to the main
mast, which can thus be raised 20 a
height Of 200 feet, If necessary, will
permit of communication between
the ship and parties on shore.
BY means Of wireless telegraphy
Capt. Bernier thinks it will be pos
sible for him to send messages to
Dawson City, Alaska, during the
first winter in the ice, and tho sec
ond year he will eudcavor 10 com
municate with the world 10y wireless
biography TO either Dawson City or
Hammerfest, which latter port will
then be 200 miles distant
For the final dash 70 the Pole,
which Capt Bcrnier will make
across the ice, he expects to use two
especially designed fve-horse-pow
err motor cars, each capable Of hold
ing 1000 pounds. The motors can
be quickly converted into boats,
each holding several persons; and
this transformation Capt Bornicr
thinks viii be necessary ON portions
OF the return journey from the Pole
10 the ship.
Food stations will be established
% mile apart after Capt Bernicr
leaves the ice, thciood being intend
ed for the return journey to the
ship. 1t will consist OF condensed
uourishment packed in cylinders
and each cylinder marked By q flag,
so that its position can be readily
detected Fresh provisions for the
party while drifting north win be
taken by Capt Bernicr IL the shape
Of lambs, pigs aud other live stock
The expedition will carry a balloon
for the purpose Of observing the
condition Of the ice far ahead, and
likewise kites for ariel photography.
