IL was $500: now II is 5000. For plumbing
II was $500: now II Is $4,000. For electric

Arranging Floral Pieces.

When arranging floral pieces in
which wire frames, covered with lead
foil and filled with moss, form the ba-
sis Of the work, It is hard to get the
surface closely covered, and the edges
hidden. I have found wire hair-plns
used as staples for fastening flowers
and foliage into position the greatest
help OF anything I have ever tried.
The pins pierce the foil and enter the
moss, easily. and so make Il possible
TO quickly staple vines. foliage or
flowers around the edge OF the frame
or into vacant spots over the face OF
the piece. Then, too, a flower or leaf
often persists in standing up when it
should lie fiat, and, when this hap
pens, hair-pin put across the stem

and holds IT there.

The "MechanicaI Dog"

While it is unnecessary to point out
that, without the utmost confidence in
the efficiency and staying" powers of
the airship, the promoters OF this
epoch-making expedition would not
undertake it. yet this confidence has
not been of the blind sort that has
caused them to hurl caution to the
winds. Two supplemental provisions
have been made for insuring the sue
cess of the expedition and the lives
or the explorers. The most important
of these is the motor, sledge which
is to be carried in the car of the air
ship and which, it is confidently be-
lieved, will prove of the utmost value
in the event of accident to the airship
at any stage of the voyage. There are
two Of these sledges, propelled by gas
oline motors. They have six-horse-
power each. The motor is mounted on
runners. like those of the ordinary
sled, and the power is transmitted by
chain to a large front wheel which
has breadth enough to serve the pur-
pose Of a snowshOe and the periphery
of which is studded with projecting
spikes to furnish the gripping power

that they can be knocked down and
assembled quickly and when such OBJ
stacles are met as they cannot over

hauled by the explorers over the hard
places.

Eskimo dog has been the traction

THE ACCESSORIES OF THE
WELLMAN POLAR EXPEDITION
Some of the Wonders of Science That Are to Be Used
in the Attempt to Reash The Pole.

What may be called the accessories
or the equipment OF the Wellman
polar expedition are by no means
least in poiut Of interest in the novel
undertaking TO reach the north pole
in an airship. The way in which the
explorer has utilized the latest sci
entific discoveries and inventions in
his coming battle with the elements
OF the north form one of the most
interesting chapters in the story Of
preparation. With the exception of
the airship itself the wireless tele-
graph and the motor sledge, or. as
Mr.. Wellman calls it, the mechanical
dog" stand out as of peculiar interest.
Should Mr.. Wellman and his com
panions be successful in reaching the
pole the wireless telegraph instrument
is expected to inform the world OF

on that important point Of the worlds
surface within a few minutes after it

ABOUT CLIMBING PLANTS.
Picturesque Arches Covered by Creep
ers-The Variety of the Latter
The Ramblers.

A length of straight garden can be
broken up and made picturesque by
series OF archways, which may soon
be covered by creepers. Some are
evergreen creepers, such as Irish ivy,
jessamine and variegated ivy. In
planting ivies large plants should be
obtained, the lengthy growths OF
which can be trained to give an i'm
mediate effect, and when this is &C.
complished it is there for good. AL.
though all plant growths prefer wood
work TO entwine itself upon. an iron
framework can be made by uniting a
series of pipe arches, the construc-
ton of which is we'll known to all,
by horizontal bars, thus making con-
tinuous arch, which can easily be
covered with the wistaria by careful
ly tying in the young shoots, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. In the early sum
mer when it bursts into leaf and bios
som it presents a gorgeous sight of
lavender flowers and pretty light
green fern-like leaves. 1t may also
be trained up a window on a wire lat
tice, adding beauty TO the scene and
sweet perfume TO the house. This
climbing plant is no trouble, once it
obtains a hold Of the ground, grows
very rapidly quickly covering the

wireless telegraph apparatus that
forms an important part OF the i'm
pedimenta of the expedition. The
wireless telegraph service. like the air
ship, while not having been brought
to the highest stage OF perfection or
certainty OF successful operation,
nevertheless has become commercially
practicable and reasonably reliable.
Recent tests at sea have heightened
the possible communication distance
TO more than 1000 miles without re-
lay. A complete wireless outfit forms
part of the expeditions apparatus,
and one OF the five men who will
make the trip in the airship is an
expert wireless telegraph operator and

station. In its present use at sea
there are often atmospheric disturb
ances which temporarily destroy the
usefulness Of the wireless apparatus.
but these periods have been brief. It
is believed thoroughly by the experts
in wireless telegraphy that nothing
short Of a catastrophe which wrecks
the ship and renders all apparatus
useless will prevent the publishing
daily Of dispatches from the explor-
ers sailing poleward in the monster
airship. As the magnetic pole OF the
earth has been found 200 miles from
the mathematical pole. on the coast
of North America, it is reasonably
certain that at the mathematical pole
there will be encountered no magnetic
disturbances which will destroy the
usefulness Of the wireless apparatus.
