1T Is my belief that with the de-

The correspondent takes serious
and scientific view of his forthcom-
ing work, and his desire is to add
to the geographical knowledge OF the
world rather than to supply simply
startling piece Of news.
4The pole Is the center OF an un-
known country" said Mr.. Wclfman;
country Of Which it Is mans duty
to learn something IL he can. The
mere fact that no new land IL to be
opened to colonization, or to be util-
lied for mining or agricultural inter
ests. does not detract In my mind In
the least from the interest which CEN
ters in II, or from the duty which at

WelIman Is in the prime OF life and

undertake his Journey northward with
some fear. but with great hope. He
Is tireless worker, and those who
have labored in the same field OF jour
nalism with him In Washington and
In other cities know that he has ten
dency of purpose which is at all times
the admiration and sometimes the de-
spair Of others
1t might be said right here that the
pluck shown by Wellman Is not OF one
whit higher order than that shown
by his wife and five daughters The
Wellman family is devoted family.
and yet Mrs Wellman and her chill
dren have such absolute confidence in
the overcoming qualities OF the hus-
band and father that they have abiding
faith he will make his journey
through the air, over the fields of Ice
and snow, to the pole, and will make
his return in safety to rejoin the fam
lily circle.
Twice before has Mr.. Wellman said
good-by to his family to separate him
self for months from its members
with no means of communication. On
both occasions he penetrated the arc
tic wilderness, and while not reaching
the goal for which all explorers strive,
he brought back much to add to the
sum Of human knowledge, and this
need the wife and children considered
all suficient return for their time OF
waiting and anxiety.
In Paris arrangements will be made
for the building Of an airship Of double
the size and carrying capacity OF any
thing Of the kind hitherto constructed.
1t will be built to carry five men. 55,-
900 pounds Of gasoline. 500 pounds of
wireless apparatus, reserve motors and
food supplies for rs days.
