ingenuity and untiring patience Here.

rows are produced.
They select a pair Of grayish birds
and keep them in a white cage in a
white room where they are attended by
a person dressed in white. The men
tai effect on series of generations Of
birds results in completely white birds.
They breed the domestic cock with
enormously long tails after the same
principle They first select a bird with
a good tail, giving him very high

they drag the tail downward, carrying

persuaded him to accompany him to
the sacristy. where he was detained I'M
til the court officials could be notified
of the escapade.
At the time It was considered a for
tunate ending to what might have been
a tragedy OF the most serious kind. Has
the monarch been recognized by the
public there is little doubt that riot
would have followed At the time it
was the popular belief in Bavaria
among the masses that Louis had been
put out of the way by Bismarck and
that Otto's reputed insanity was a fic-
ton devised for the purpose of keep
ing him under restraint because he
would not comply with Prussias de-
mands. 1t was more than ten years
before this erroneous impression died
out. All this time the Bavarian pro-
letariat was firmly convinced that Luit-
pold. the regent, was a creature of
Bismarck. and during that period his
statues. busts and even pictures We're
constantly being mutilated and de-
faced
Now, however. the tide has turned
in the regents favor. It became known
in the course of time that he had been
offered the crown by Germany, with
the consent of Austria and other pow
ers, but had declined resoluteIy even
to take the matter into consideration
If he had been trying to make himself
the most popular man in the kingdom
Luitpold could not have hit on any
thing more successful II declining
/ the proffered crown of his incura bly,
I demented nephew he acted in strict
conformity with the win Of the masses
Of the Bavarian people. So strong is
monarchical and legitimist sentiment
among them that they would prefer a
iunatic on the throne rather than any
interference with the Bavarian line
of succession.
That was not the only means BY
which Luitpold, already past the prime
OF life when he was made admins
traitor OF the Bavarian state, endeared
himself to his countrymen. When he
was called to the head of the govern
ment the finances of the kingdom were
I IN a deplorable condition. When King
Louis was so mysterfousIy drowned it
( was found that his debts amounted to
a colossal sum. Had Otto been sane
and in a condition to fulfill the duties
OF ruler the nation would have been
called on to assume the liabilities of
/ Louis IL, which would have added
greatly to the burdens Of an already
/ overtaxed people. There would also
4 nave been the heavy expense incidental

poid's first acts on accepting the re-
I gency was TO decline any additional

A wonderful instrument IS the edo
phone which is used to photograph
sounds. BY its aid has been demon
strated the fact that every note of mu-
sic has its visible form. Certain high
" pitched voices. when recorded by
the instrument, produced figures eN-
actly ike trees. while others gave i'm
pressions resembling flowers and TO-
Iiage. Other notes still produced
grotesque shapes suggestive Of natural
objects. Very curious was the picture
produced by recording three notes Of
music through the apparatus. Il was
precisely like a tree growing beside q
sheet Of water.

Or the North Pole

os The possibilities Sfr. Wellman and
mis- associates have made an exhaustive
study of all the known facts bearing
upon the winds of the arctic. They
have mapped out ten airship journeys
10 the pole based on actual experiences
in the arctic. These show the posi-
biIity of reaching the pole in from
. to 152 hours from Spitzbergen.
On Danes island. at the north of
Sp5tzbergen, there is a house built by
an Englishman named Arnold Pike
about fifteen years ago Wellman
made this his base in his polar expe-
dition Of 1894. and on June ; Major
Jersey, who accompanies the expedi-
ton on behalf of the United States
government, sailed in the Frithjof from
Tromso for Danes island with the ma
terial for establishing the base He
carried headquarters houses and ma
chine shops in sections and gas appa-
ratus and all necessary appliances. He
also took with him enough material in
sections to build a great shed 200 feet
in length, rs feet in breadth and IS
feet in height This was bolted to-
gether and covered with canvas. and
in this Enclosure the mammoth balloon
is being set up and inflated.
The airship will demand $4,000 Gu
bic feet of hydrogen to make it sufh-
GENTLY buoyant to last ten days or
more. On that account it was neces-
sary to transport a hundred tons of
sulphuric acid and sixty-five tons of
iron shavings, all carefully selected, to
the Spitzbergen base. The expert en-
gineer who was associated with Count
Zeppelin in his aerial tests was chosen
to superintend the imitation
One of the most interesting features

So, as the matter stands. It is not
probable that there will be any change
in the administration of the affairs OF
Bavaria during the lifetime of the re-
gent. He is aged, and. although his
health is good. it is likely that his de-
mentea royal nephew will survive him.
The king is in fairly robust physical
condition, and he may even live
through another regency.
When the story of the present is
written. the historian viii have an ex-
ceilent opportunity to make a promi-
nent figure of this same Luitpold Of
Bavaria. 1t is not every generation
that furnishes man who is so loyal
to the traditions of his country and so
confornable to the wishes OF his fell
lows that he will not accept q crown
that is almost thrust upon him.

thoroughly Galiie. but in that instance
1t seemed not at all inappropriate. No
similar expedition yet undertaken has
been prefaced by such an exhaustive
attention to preliminary detail Every
thing that promises to contribute to-
ward the success of the undertaking
f, has been supplied and every preeau-
ton against the reliability Of peril
has been taken
Mr.. Wellman is a veteran Of too
many hazardous commissions to per
nit sentiment to dominate him for
even a moment. He accepted the con-
CALCULATIONS of his French well wishers
with a heartiness born Of the camara-
derie Of the occasion. but his enthusi-
assn was tempered by a moderation
which showed that he had not lost
sight of the possibilities.

lures the constructor has not been 50
fortunate. His work is good. but not
perfect, requiring slight changes at
Spitzbergen, where we shall complete
the machine. I still have faith in the
success Of the machinery
The giant airship in which the Well
man party will make its final dash for
the pole is the largest ever constructed.
It will lift a car of steel, three motors
with a total Of eighty horsepower. a
steel boat. motor sledges. five men,
food for seventy-fve days. instru-
ments. tools and nearly two and a half
tons of gasoline for the motors. It's

pected to travel at the rats of twelve

the north pole. Here during this month
of July thirty-hve scientists, engineers,

initiating the balloon and making the
preparation for the flight which these
daring men decline to regard as peril
ous. 1t has been estimated with the
greatest precision that the supply Of

OF the expedition is the plan to main
tain wireless communication with the
habitable world during the entire jour-
ney. The first station is at Hammer
fest. Norway which is in touch with the
Atlantic cable Station No. is at the
headquarters on Dane island. Station

when a message is sent the wire is I'M

perhaps fifty yards from the car.
It will be remembered that the
scheme of Commander Peary. who is
now in the arctic. contemplated the
spending of the winter on the shores OF
the polar sea and a dash across the
frozen waste on sledges in the early
spring. Although this plan may have
been carried out with perfect success,
it will not be possible to hear from
the Peary party until September. II
the Wellman expedition should be sue
cessful it viii be heard from almost
Immediately.
But Mr. Wellman has declared re-
peatedly that he viii not launch his
aerial Cargantua until all the condi-
tions are favorable This month Will
be spent in imitation and trials, and il
everything is propitious the start for
the pole will be made some time this
year. If he does not succeed the first
year he will return to his base and
await more favorable opportunity.
The expedition is designed for a three
years campaign.
From which one might infer that Mr.
Wellman is not oversanguine as to the
success of the other arctic party.

varia. will be deposed
within few months and that the
prince regent viii be crowned. There
is no doubt that the matter has been
discussed for some time in influential
Bavarian circles. When Prince Regent
Luitpold was in Vienna recently he
took part in a discussion as to the ad-
visibility of ending the absurdity of
Bavaria being ruled in the name of an
insane monarch Such a move would
require a change in the Bavarian con
stitution. and it is understood that
Luitpold is not in favor of the scheme.
although Germany and Austria advo-
cate it strongly.
Only once since his accession to the
throne OF Bavaria have his subjects
obtained a heeting glimpse of their
sovereign. That was nineteen years
ago. soon after he became king. That
one public appearance of the royal Ba-
varian was purely accidental Ever
since the tragic end of his elder broth
or in the waters of Lake Staremberg
he had been in such a state of paretic
jmbecihty as to make it necessary that
he should be kept not merely under
restraint, but in the strictest secIu-
sion.
Not to mince matters. King Otto OF
Bavaria has been Imprisoned for TWEEN
ty years in his palace of Furstenried
which is guarded by picked soldiers
and surrounded by wall so lofty thai
the public cannot obtain even a glimpse
of the grounds. His sole public ap-
pearance was pitiful affair Man

Do You Open Your Mouth

Like a Young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you
Or. do you want to know something of the
composition and character of that which
YOU take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
now -a-days insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
Dr. Pierce believes they have perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. Sohe
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper, what his medicines are made of
and yerifies it under oath. This he feels
he can well afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure of woman's peculiar weak
nesses, irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging down pain or distress in
lower abdominal or pelvice region, accom-
panied, ofttimes, with facilitating
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp-
toms of weakness, DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is most efficient remedy
1t is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system OF
the eXpecJant lnotneI iui oapy cViihS'
thus rendering childbirth safe and com
paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre-
scription" is most potent. strengthening
tonic to the general system and to the
organs distinctly feminine in particular,
1t is also soothing and invigorating
nervine and cures nervous exhaustion,
nervous prostration, neuralgia; hysteria;
spasms, chorea or st. Vitus's dance, and
other distressing nervous symptoms at
tendant upon functional and organic dis
eases of the distinctly feminine organs,
A host of medical authorities of all the
several schools of practice, recommend
each of the several ingredients of which
rFavorite Prescription" is made for the
cure of the diseases for which it is claimed
to be a cure. You may read what they
say for yourself by sending postal card
