the wind. If it is placed in any other
relation to the balloon the latter will
at once swing around so as to be in a
| line with the wind.
In this way balloon may be steered
as high as 80 degrees from the direction
of the wind. and Herr Andree had said
that he had accomplished this highest
degree.
Herr Andree and his coexplorers sailed
away from Amsterdam Island, Spitzber-
gen, on July II. 1897. Herr Andree was
then forty-three years old. He was n
Swede. He was an engineer by profess
sion and chief examiner of the royal pat
ent Office in Sweden. He was unmarried,
but left an aged mother behind him in
Gothenberg
Twenty-Five years have elapsed since
Herr Andree first conceived the ides Of
ballooning to the North Pole, forming
even at that time an impression that the
trade winds blew with regularity at GER
tain times of the year. In 1876 his first
intention of getting to the Pole took
hold of him. But at that time he was
a young man and lacked the influence
and command of financial assistance,
without which such All enterprise as he
contemplated, costly as it must neces-
sarily prove, would be impossible. So he
did nothing but think over his project un-
til 1892, when he made his first expert
ment with balloons.
He used small balloon and was fair
ly successful in number of ascensions.
The great journey upon which he had
set his heart, however, was the one to
the North Pole, for which he needed
about $4,000. Alfred Noble, the dyna-
mite invt,tor, who died some years ago, |
gave Herr Andree s15, 900; King Oscar of
Sweden and Norway added $1,000. and /
Baron Oscar Dickson, a wealthy Swede,
deeply interested in all that concerned
Arctic exploration, contributed like
sum
The balloon in which Andree made his |
first ascension was 10 feet high. or 81
feet from the cap to the bottom of the
car, and cost $40, ,0Oo 1t was this airship.

DID The FATED NNDPEE
FIND THE NORTH DOLE?

HE search now in progress IL
northern Manitoba for relies OF
Andree's fatal balloon expedition
may settle the question as to
whether the unfortunate explorer dis
covered the North Pole.
Whatever the outcome of the search,
the fact that the three men were killed
by savage Eskimos, as told by the
Rev. Richard Farier. an Anglican min
lister in charge of Fort Churchill, the
northernmost port of the Hudson I,ay
Company, is proof that Herr Andree's
trip was successful in two very import
ant particulars.
He has demonstrated to the scientific
world that there is straight and sure
aerial course from Spitzbergen to the
North Pole, which, il further pursued.
will land an aeronaut in America.
He has also solved one of the Import
ant and heretofore vague problems Of
aerial navigation-the method Of steer
ing q balloon out Of the course of the
air currents.
Herr Andree has sacrificed his life, to-
gether with his two companions, Nils
Strindberg and Knut Hjalmar Ferdin-
and ,Frankel, but in doing SO he has
given to the world what will probably
prove the most startingly conclusive
combination OF facts ever learned in
connection with an attempt to reach this
much sought and most mysterious part
Of our planet.
Before Herr AndrA set sail on his
hazardous undertaking five years ago,
he expressed the belief tAat high above
the yexed surface winds was steady
gale blowing at a rate of about fifteen
miles an hour straight toward the North
Pole. He had been a balloonist for a
number OF years and a student of the
upper currents.
Furthermore Herr Andree believed
that this current would enable him to
cover the seven hundred miles setween
Spitzbergen and the Pole in two days,
and carry him over to Bering Strait in
six. The last news received from him,
dated two days after starting, was dis
patched by carrier pigeon. This re-
port of latitude and longitude showed |
that be had gone in a north northeast |
erly direction about $50 miles, or at the |
rate of three miles an hour. II there |
had been no calms intervening there |
after and no deviation from a straight
course, that speed would have taken him
to Eastern Siberia in about month or
Six weeks.
No better proof could have been given
In substantiation of his theory than
on the day his car first rose from Spitz-
bergen Island. When his balloon was
cut away it swung wildly about like a
carrier pigeon sighting it's course. AS
1t, reached the higher levels it settled
down to a steady posture and then
sailed almost due north. maintaining
this course without turn unit! out of
sight.

THE GREATER GLORY OF EASTER


The world ID splendid with the
gleams Of rhe Easter light Commerce
and literature and art have joined
hands with religion to make the fes-
tivai notable.
The world is quick to see that there
are large profits in every appeal to the
religious emotion. Jew and gentle,
beliver and unbeliver. are all keenly
alive to the comercial possibilities Of
the celebration.
The coming of spring adds to the ex-
ternal beauty of the Easter season.
Earth puts on her new robes, and her
children follow the example. Easter
has come to be the brightest and
gladest festival Of the Christian year.
There is deeper reason for the Eas-
ter glory than this surface light and
joy. The Christians Easter is the
celebration Of day on which a
miracle did not happen. The miracle
Of Easter could not happen. For the
miracle would have been that death
and the grave could hold the Lord of
life, and the Easter would be impos-
sible He went to his passion and his
death unmoved for himself. 1t was
the sin of the world in his thought
and on his heart which made a. burden
none other could have borne.
But the great yearning Of the love
OF Christ was that no sin, however
great, might be held sufficient to
keep the sinner from God. And Eas-
ter is the divine answer to that de-
sire. The Growing crime of the ages
was the putting to death of Jesus.
No oher sin of men could be so black
as that. He prayed at last: For
give them" He himself forgave them.
And on the resurrection morning he
came back from death not simply be-
cause he could not be holden of death
Suppose he had gone straight to the
glory on high? But he came lack.
Back to the Jerusalem that had
spurned him; hack to the men who de-
rided him; back to the soldiers who
buffeted him; back to the priests who
accused him; back to the disciples who
fled from him; back. that is to the
sinful, willful, wandering, hopeless
world. bringing to it the power Of an
endless life.
The coming back of Jesus Christ
was indeed miracle, but II was a
miracle of grace. 1t was the testimony
of divine love that even the crucifxion
had not made an impassaIble gulf be-
twten men and God.
Easter is the assurance that there is
forgiveness for all sin, and the new
life for all sinners.
Easter Is the growing evidence of
chIslisrity, not becIuse Christ rose
