ELEVATORS PLAY LAST TRUMP.

Superior Grain Men Test Laws Com
stitUtion.Ezty in Federal Court.
Attorneys for the elevator interests OPP
posed to the Wisconsin grain la,t are
preparing to test its constitutionality as
amended. The suit will be in the form
of an application for an Injunction
against the commission. The real ques-
ton viii be whether OF not the new law
allows the elevators to operate as pri-
yate houses. The amendments to the
law make the elevators owned by rail-
roads public as the property of a public
service corporation. If the decision is
against the elevators it is said that they
will give up the ship" 1t will be about
their last trump.

.WE[[MAN MAKING READY
FOR HIS DASH TO n. POLE

IrOmSOe, Norway, June 26.-FOr the
second time within a dozen years Wal
ter Wellman, the American explorer,
is here completing preparations for a
dash into the polar region. which lies
at the very gates of this far northern
town. II all goes well another week
or SO will see the little party of in
trepid Americans ready for their air.
ship flight over the Arctic seas with
the North Pole as their goal.
The NOrwegians are taking the
keenest interest in the Wellman ex-
petition. Aerial navigation is new
to them, but Arctic exploration is not.
They view the American adventure
kindly enough, but at the same time
the Norwegians are true to their idol,
and their idol in Arctic work, naturally
enough, is the gallant Dr. hansen. The
popularity of DR.. hansen is very great
among his countrymen, and they look
upon Mr.. Wellman as dangerous
competitor of their favorite in the race
for the pole. The vast majority, how
ever, unite in the sentiment that if a
Norwegian cannot have the honor of
winning the pole then may it be an
American.
Mr.. Wellman is putting the finishing
touches to his preparations with the
same feeling that he began the work.
He has the same faith in the FEAST
bility of his plans. while at the same
time he appreciates all the difficulties
and dangers of the project.
Two problems are uppermost in his
project. First, the vertical stability
of his airship. as affected by heat, cold
and precipitation, and controlled by
guide rope and ballast; second, the
possibility of successful anchorage
during high winds. A balloon is neces-
sarily very delicately balanced in
strument. A ray of sunshine, puff
of cold or warm wind, a touch of
damp mist. causes the balloon to rise
or fall. 1t is most essential in a pro-
tracted voyage to keep the balloon
at an even height. This the heavy
guide rope does. Trailing along the
ground or in the sea. it keeps the bal
loon down. since. when the airship
has a tendency to rise, it has to lift

POLE DURING THREE CENTURIES.

more and more of the weight of the
rope. On the other hand, as the bal
loon descends, it is relieved of the
weight. The guide rope is also of
some service in steering the unstable
craft, and for this purpose Andree
used several ropes.
According to Mr.. Wellman's plans
his airship is at no time to be out of
touch with the surface of the earth. A
smooth, tapering line of steel is to
drag its lower end over the ice. keep
the ship at fairly stable height Q50
to $50 feet. and maintain. under ordi-
nary conditions, the vertical stability
of the craft. Then there are other
factors involved in the problem of
vertical stability. There may be an
accumulation of frost, snow, sleet or
moisture upon the airship amounting
to several hundreds of pounds in an
hour or so. In operation the motor is
consuming fuel at the rate, perhaps.
of 800 to 1000 pounds in twenty-four
hours. The airship may loose a con-
siderable part of its ascencional force
through cold and loss of gas at the
very time when, instead of dropping
weight to correspond through con-
sumption of gasoline, it is actually
gaining weight through accumulation
of frost and snow. Again. the reverse
may be true-a considerable gain of
volume and lift force at the very time
the motors are rapidly reducing the
weight of the cargo.
The possibility of successful anchor
age is another serious problem. In
case the ship at anchor were to be
attacked by wind exceeding the ire
mendous velocity of fifty miles an
hour, the envelope probably would be
ruptured and the whole thing collapse
in ruin. In such an event the aerial
part of the voyage would come to an
end, because the gas would escape
and the huge envelope would soon
come tumbling down upon the ice.
There would then be nothing to do
but to continue the journey by means
of sledging over the ice with ice
motors, the fuel unconsumed by the
engines of the airship being available
for this purpose.
