Master Dudley Barton, aged thirteen,

the great air ship at the palace at the
present time. The balloon started in a
southerly direction and remained in
view for about twenty minutes, when
1t entered the clouds. Nothing more
was heard of the balloon until the Occu-
pants reached home at about 2 O'Clock
the next morning after having had a
most enjoyable and interesting trip.

and recrossed the Thames on no less
than five occasions. The highest alti-
tude attained was 5000 feet, at which
height the reflection of the sun on the
masses of white clouds below was
quite dazzling, and the clothes of the
aeronauts were covered with hoar frost.
At one time ii was feared they would
have to descend into the Thames, as the
wind had dropped almost to a dead
calm and the balloon hung continuous
~ for an hour over the river. At 8
o'clock, however, a little puff of wind
took them over Il marshy spot two
miles on the other side of Greenhithe,
and NJ Gaudron took immediate ad-
vantage of this and opened the valve.

somewhat rapid descent. These are

Early next July Commander Peary
expects to start for the north with a
swift ship and an American crew. His
plan is to establish winter quarters on
the north shore of Grantland. where
only APO nautical miles will stretch be-
tween him and the pole.
81 have already demonstrated" said
Commander Peary recently, that
can travel more than twice that dis
lance over the arctic ice. But the trou-
bic has been previously that 1 did not
have a ship that could take me there in
time. That is all need now. The rest
of the problem has been worked out in
practice.
IF can get the right kind of a ship
and if get the money know where
to get the ship-I can sail on July 1
and get to Cape Sabine by the end of
the month. l can stay there until Sep
TENDER, gathering walrus meat, native
helpers, dogs and whatever else need.
| can winter on the shores of Grant
land and have everything ready to
start for the pole at the first return Of
arctic daylight in February. That
would give me 100 to ITO days to reach
the pole and get back. All / ask is
ship that will take me the $50 miles
thaI lie between Cape Sabine and
Grani,and. know can reach the pole
from that point"
Commander Peary is tall and strong
~ made, with long face and a square,
determined chin. \ reddish mustache
shades his firm mouth. He is forty
seven years old, yet walks with the
spring of youth Notwithstanding that
he is minus seven toes that were fro
zen off during one of his journeys.
In his final attempt to reach the pole
the explorer will take with him only
men of tried experience in arctic work.
Eskimos will form the principal men,
bers of his sled dash. One man has al
ready been selected, Matthew Hansen,
who has been with Peary on all his ex-
petitions. Hansen is q mulatto, born
in Maryland. He has shown wonder
full grit under most trying conditions
and endurance equal to that of Peary
himself. On the last expedition, when
all the others quit. Hansen kept on the
march. and when Peary's feet were
frozen almost solid Hansen cared for
him and took him into camp Funds
for the coming expedition to the amount
Of $150,0o0 are expected from the Pea
~ Arctic club Of New York.

FAMOUS ARCTIC EXPLORER WHO
HOPES TO REACH THE POLE.

Baby-Mattheyv Hansen's Pluck.
Commander Robert E. Peary. Z. S. N,
who has announced his intention Of
making another attempt to reach the
north pole has already made six trips
to the frozen north and has spent over
twelve years altogether in the arctic
regions. Explorer Peary will start on
his seventh polar expedition next sum
mer. having been granted three years
leave of absence by the navy depart
ment for that purpose
When Mr.. Peary returned from his
last trip to the north it was decided
that his wife should accompany him if
he decided to make another trial. The
recent birth of q son has upset that
plan, and Mrs. Peary will remain at
home. She, however. continues to share
the belief of her husband that the dis
covery Of the north pole should be
made by an American and also thinks
that the discovery should be made by
her husband, who has already spent
many of the best years of his life in
the undertaking. Therefore she is will
ing that he should again brave the per-
lis of the north.
Commander Peary has said that he
found his wife a valuable helpmeet
on previous expeditions. Instead of be-
ing in the way she was ready for any
undertaking, doing her full share Of
the work and proving that she was as
capable of withstanding privations and
hardships as any member of the party.
1t was during the expedition Of 1898
that Marie Ahnighite Peary, ''the snow
baby was born. Her father and moth
er were living in Anniversary lodge,
north Greenland. in a degrees 40 min
utes north latitude, when the little one
came into existence. This was on Sept.
10, 1898. The baby's first six months
were spent in the lamplight, but later
when the long night of the arctic win
ter was over, she lived constantly in
the uninterrupted sunshine and grew
with great rapidity.
The snow baby was the wonder Of
the Eskimos, who travelled long dis
tances to see her. They could not be-
lieve that she was not made of snow
until they had touched her. A little

skill Is Necessary.

Here is a trick which will cause
amusement to young and old:
Get two balls about the size of bill
lard balls. Chalk circle three inches
in diameter on the tablecloth and Il
line about two feet off. Place one ball
in the center of the circle and balance
a penny fiat on the top of it.
The trick is to bowl from the line
with the remaining ball and try to
knock the penny out of the ring. Sim
pie as it sounds, you will find that 1t
takes n great deal of practice, for nine
times out of ten it drops inside.
The only way to do it is to bowl
very slowly, so that the ball knocks
the other one very slightly, and the
penny will roll out on top of the ball.

soft ball, and at the count of one, two,
three, they toss the ball over the wall
at the same time calling the name of
the opposite player who is expected to
catch it. If in the excitement the wrong
one catches the ball he or she goes on
