WELLMAN,s PRESENT PROSPECTS.

Having taken one load of freight to Spitzber.
gen for Mr.. Wellman, the FrithjOf has gone
back to TrOmSoe, on the coast of Norway, for
the explorer and his flying machine. The cap
tain Of Mr.. Wellman's ship reports having en-
cOuntered heavy pack ice during his recent
voyage and i'll the press dispatches which
mention the matter unfavOrable opinions are
expressed regarding the one now to be under
taken.
Tromsoe lies a little below the 10th parallel
of latitude Low Island, in the Spitzbergen
Archipelago, Mr. WellmanS immediate deStina-
ton, is just above the SOth parallel and is al
most due north Of TrOmsOe They are only
about six hundred and fifty miles apart and
under favorable circumstances the distance
could be traversed in five or six days by vessel
propelled by steam. The delay due to the ne
cessity for wedging path through floating ice,
however, must add greatly to the time required
to reach Low Island In 1901, when Mr.. Bald
win went to Franz Josef Land in the America
the FrithjOf was his tender and it deposited
certain supplies for him without much trouble
Two years later Mr. Ziegler's secretary tried to
make the same voyage in the FrithjOf to re-
lieve Mr.. Fiala, Mr.. Baldwins successor but
he could not effect a landing though he made
two attempts. The rescue of 1904 was effected
with another vessel, the Terra Nova, possibly
a stOuter ship and equipped with more power

cilitated by reduction in the density of the
ice barrier. AT any rate, if the Frithjof has
been able to land material in Spitzbergen once
this season, there is every reason to think that
she will be able to do so again. and certainly
without more delay than before
Several months ago it was announced that Mr.
Wellman intended to get away from Tromsoe
about June 20 He is apparently a fortnight
behind time, therefore. Yet. unless he should
be seriously retarded in his progress during
the next two or three weeks there would be
no occasion to worry about his success When
he once sets foot on Low Island he must de
vote himself to two tasks. His airship should
be put together and it ought to be carefully
tested. Mr.. Wellman's plan allows ten davs
for the trip from Spitzbergen to the Pole and
back. 1t is all important. then. that he should
learn before he departs If the gas bag of his
ship will retain its buOyancy for that period
of time II his gas generating plant is ready
when he arrives and if he does not need more
than four days to prepare for the experiment
he may be able to satisfy himself as to the eff
cheney Of his equipment within two weeks from
the day he lands. He might spend two more
weeks on the way to Spitzbergen and vet be
ready for the final venture soon after August /.
Probably August 10 would not be too late for
a start if he had first demonstrated the trust
worthiness Of his airship. The eXpediencv Of
a pOstponement until next year has been kent
steadily in view, but to assume at present that
it will be necessary is premature, to say the
least.

ton of the Southern Pacific track was two hun-
dred feet below sea level A rise of fifty feet
might take year or two. but when II had been
attained it would cause a great deal of mischief.
How much shifting of the route in order TO
reach higher ground has already been regarded
as essential does not clearly appear. but the
change is probably not great. While. however.
the lateral shifting of the track might be small
not more than two or three miles. perhaps-the
section whose grade was thus raised might be
forty OF fifty miles long.
Perhaps because of the great expense OF such
an undertaking, the railroad company's advisers
recommended last year that an attempt be made
to control the evil at its source. or. in other
words 70 keep the Colorado within Its banks
Efforts of that kind have thus far proved abor-
tive, and the correspondent of Engineering
News points out the reason of the failure. 1t
was proposed TO construct a canal into which the
stream might be diverted, but the velocity of the
water was exceedingly variable When the How
was swift the sides would be eaten away, for
the banks were composed of alluvial soil. When
the current slackened there would be a great de
poslt of sediment, and the canal would become
chozed. Then the water would go back to its
original channel and find the leaks which adj
mitted It to the Salton basin. Some of the diff
culties of keeping the canal open have been
overcome and it is hoped that the last will be
removed when new "head works" for the canal,
having foundation on bed rock. are provided.
If these should be completed this year and pro-
duce the expected effect the SaltOn Sea would
presumably begin TO shrink soon after the eff
cheney of the canal had been insured.

FREAKS OF THE sAL7ov SEA

The report that the necessity has arisen for
the fifth time within few months for shifting
the tracks of the Southern Pacific to avoid inun-
datiOn from the Saton Sea brings into fresh
notice peculiarly complicated engineering prob
lem. In Southern California, near the Arizona
boundary, is a shallow basin eighty or one hun
dred miles in length and twenty miles OF more
in width at the broadest part II extends from
the southeast to the northwest and the railroad
skirts its eastern, northeastern, edge A
large area there lies below the level of the
sea and tempts the Colorado River TO break
through its banks and invade the region instead
OF flowing straight down TO the Gulf of Califor-
mia. Partly because OF evaporation, which takes
place at rapid rate and partly because the
whole discharge Of the river does not enter the
basin, the depression is never filed Even to-day
not more than One-seventh or one-eighth of the
area is under water. Still less was covered
when the Southern Pacific was constructed. and
II was then deemed safe TO lay rails at a level
only slightly higher than that of the so-called
Salton Sea, but below that of the ocean proper
So gentle is the slope of the bottom OF the BASIN
however, that rise Of single foot results in an
alarming lateral spread. and the tendency OF the
water having been upward for more than
year, the engineers OF the railroad company
have been greatly disturbed by the threatening
prospect.
Measurements by the United States Geological
Survey showed that the SaltOn Sea was 253 feet
below the level OF the Gulf Of California a short
time ago. and a correspondent OF Engineering
News recently asserted that considerable por-

PRETTY GOOD FOR A WOMAN.

From The Womans Home Companion.
One day a couple Of my friends sitting on
the river bank when they heard the cry OF a frog
IN distress. Following the direction from which the
sound came. they discovered snake in the act OF
swallowing the frog.
Just then another frog evidently attracted by the
distressing cries OF its mate in Jeopardy, hoped
up to the scene Of action. For a moment it sat
blinking at the enemy, then leaped forward seized
the snake by the neck and tugged II into the river
The water quickly poured between the snake s

IL promptly did, and tho liberated frog swan away
