In HhrpefS TOR SEPTEMBER, Dr. CnafcOt,
chief Of the French South Polar expcdi-
ton. tells Interestingly of how he pre-
pared to meet the winter at Wandel ISL
and:
The work of installing ourselves in
winter quarters began at once. The boat
was locked along u rocky cliff covered
with Ice. in q little harbor which looked
as If 1t were cut to order. Ilawsers and
chains wsrc attached to blocks of granite
from the ships Prov and stern. The Prov
was aground. and the ~taffrail of the stern
was protected by a girdle of casks. The
port, which opens toward the northeast. is
exposed to the heavy winds of this region,
which bring iii the storms and great guam
titles of ice from the open sea. We also
built a dam across the harbor by means Of
n raft and anchor-chain. which, held up
about a metre from the surface, was sub
jeCted from time to time to considerable
pressure. This dam had the double adj
vantage of Offering resistance to the big
blocks of ice coming from the sea and of
keeping in the harbor smaller fragments
of ice. which then served as a kind of
buffer. But even so. we had to endure at
times shocks from blocks OF Ice weighing
several tons, which as they were brought
IN by the storms, struck out ship like
b~attering-rams.
After accommodating the country the
station was quickly completed. 1t was
necessary to take advantage of the sun
Light, for inclement days were numerous.
AS early as the 18th of March lamps had
TO be lit at Z o'clock. We quilt a road with
hard blocks of snow to make our access
to land more easy. The portable house
wa put up in the valley. against the hill.
AT one side a shed was built; then a large
ditch dug in the ice and covered with
canvas served as our food-dock. The pro-
visions were stored there in snow houses.
for the ship was liable at any time to be
crushed by the ice. On this account 1t
was prudent to unload as many of the
provisions as possible. Two snow houses
built after the Eskimo fashion served as
slaughter houses. Here seals, %penguins
and cormorants were prepared. The choice
bits OF meat went to the storehouse."

DUMONT'S NEW BALLOON.
Novelty of Apparatus Is in Canvas
Covering of Frame-Trials
Point to Success.

Paris,-M Santos-DumOn is eXplor-
Ing a new field OF science and invention,
an addition to his steerable balloon,
which he hopes will carry it safely from
Paris to Monte Carlo with or without
suspicious breezes, The novelty consists
of a canvas covering for the wooden
frame on which the motor rests.
The frame usually is 50 to 20 feet long
ana ten feet in diameter, All this space
covered by canvas will make an addi-
tional balloon, which will be filled with
heated air by means Of a special heating
apparatus. The heated air. it is as
sumed, will add to the stability and dur
ability OF the balloon The first trials,
at St. Cloud, were entirely satisfactory,
and great hopes are entertained for the
success of the new invention.

TREES CARRY MESSAGES.
Maj. squier of the Signal Corps
Makes Important Discovery in
Wireless Telegraphy.

San Franciscu.-Mai George O.
Squier, of the United States signal corps,
has made an important discovery in
wireless telegraphy, He has found that
trees may serve the purpose Of mar
roni's metallic f~eelers, or a~utennae, as
they are called, and that tree trunks,
while serving as masts or towers, also
serve as wires to bring the electro-mag-
netic currents down to the earth,
The healthier the tree the better it
serves as a conductor for the highly os-
ciIlating currents. The leaves of trees
or Of plants behave precisely as If they
were made OF metal, and they will trans
init these oscillations from the ground
surrounding them through their leaves.
At Fort Mason Ma, Squier attached
his Geographic apparatus to the trees
and communicated with the wireless
station on Alcatra2 island. about two
miles distant,
The major claims great advantages
for this system of tree telegraphy in
army field operations over any high
mast. tower, or balloon system. Mai
SQuipr found that vegetation was slim
ulatcd by u moderate amount of elec-
triCity and was killed by heavy shocks,

STRANGE TRIP OF WHEAT.

New York.-By an unusual condition
of affairs a large importation OF wheat
arrived at this port the other day in the
British steamer Princess, The amount
was 10000 bushels, but it was not foy-
eign-raised wheat. but came originally
from Oregon. 1t was sold by the grain
firm Of McLaren 4 Muir to -four mills OF
this city and is nov brought back from
Antwerp for manufacture here into
flour,
This is the first time in the history OF
the grain trade exported wheat has been
brought back f0y any other purpose than
ia meet the ~exigeucies of a corner in that
commodity and the reimportation at
this time is due to the small cropt OF
wheat in this country this year and the
high price now obtaining for II. no

high rates for transportation Of wheat

A NEW-STYLE cASKET.
An Innovation Which Does Away
with the Uncomfortable
Appearing Coffin.

1t is not so much what you pay for,
nor what you pay, but what you get
that needs your attention in the selec-
ton of a casket, for the genius of tho
twentieth century has been just as busy
in the way Of funeral furnishings as in
other lines, until to-day the styles OF
Baskets are quite different from what
they were fifty years ago and changing
every day.
This is especially true in Metallic
Caskets, the old style heavy cast iron
goods having given away to the more
up-to-date copper Innings which are
neatly fitted into the b.st grades OF
vanished or cloth covered work.
One of the latest designs as recently
brought out by the National Casket Co.,
is what is designated as q Couch
Casket, which has the appearance Of
a comfortable couch when open, yet re-
tains all the requisite outlines Of the
best styles in regular casket work when
closed.

MACARONi WHEAT BEST.
Colorado Farmers, After Tests, Find
They Can Raise the Cereal
without Irrigation.

Denver MacaroEi wheat for Colorado
farmers. II needs no irrigation.
That Is the slogan raised by the state
horticultural college, which is now en-
gagged in a campaign TO show the wheat
raisers Of the state that this variety
is not only a mere hardy and a better
grain than the ordinary sorts, but that
il Is also much more prolific under dis
couragiug conditions.
Walter II, DIN. Of the department Of
agronomy and Prof. W. l.. Carlyle, also
of the college, are enthusiastic about it.
Mr.. DIN reports that within the last few
months the college has made extensive
tests OF the maCarOnt. or durum wheat,
and that it has been found to be better
in all ways for practical use than the
common spring or winter wheat now
raised ON the farms of Colorado. Lndi-
lidual tests were made Of Colorado
spring wheat, Kansas hard winter
wheat. durum wheat and %Pillsbury's

also showed that the durum wheat CEN
taius a larger percentage Of both sugar
and gluten than do The Common sorts,
making 1t therefore mor paiatabIe and
more digcstlDle when eaten in bread.
Tests on various farms in Colorado
have also shown that this wheat can be
raised more adyantageously than can
amy other variety known.
