to reach the north pole by means Of
an airship, has sailed from New York
city for Paris. where he viii begin the

his arctic trip to perfection.

been taken for granted that Mr..
Wellman, being journalist, and
therefore having only general
knowledge of things important" never
has undertaken specialization.
AS matter of fact, this Washing
ton correspondent who is willing to
face the dangers of voyage north
ward in a flying machine" has for
years made study of all those things
concerning which knowledge for his
undertaking is necessary.
Just before leaving Washington for
New York, Mr.. Wellman said:
Il wish to speak modestly OF it, but
for years I have made study of the
whole subject of aeronautics and Of
all those things which are an aid to
aeronautics. 1t is my belief that the

other strange things, says the Mime

and summonses contributed by unsuc-
cessful hackers Of his mounts. tails
mans, sermons and tracts for his spir-

JAPAN NOW REACHING OUT

Trade,

Consul Britain, of K ehl, Germany.
ticle in q German newspaper the Jap=
anese government has recently grant
ed a subsidy TO q Japanese-South
American steamship fine, which plies
between Japan and Buenos Ayres, Ar
gentina. The object of this is to in
wheat from Argentina, which products
are chiefly needed and desired fol
Japan's army and marines. An Eng
fish newspaper also reports on sim
lar matter and remarks:
THE scheme which has been under
consideration for some time for the
emigration of Japanese worlSmen to
Brazil and the creation for that pur-
pose of a direct Japanese steamship
service to Santos and Rio Janeiro is
about to be realized. Two special
commissioners of the Japanese gov
eminent are now examining on the
spot the proposal of establishing a
Japanese bank at Rio Janeiro."
The same English newspaper also
reports that "a syndicate of several
banks and commercial firms in Bremen
has, In connection with the shipping
firm of Horn, OF Schleswig and Lu-
beck, formed new steamship com.
pany under the name of the Roland
line, to carry on direct service be-
tween Bremen and the west coast of

by the old method, taking into con-
sideration the difficulties of sledging
over the rough sea ice, the distances
to be travelled, and the short season
for their travelling.
ut is my belief that with the de.
velopment of mechanics and of the
arts, especially with reference to the
navigation of the air, the time has
come when the pole may be reached"
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 a
startling piece of news.
The pole is the center of an un-
known country" said Mr. WelIman;
country OF which it is mans duty
to learn something IL he can. The
mere fact that no new land is 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
tiers in il, or from the duty which at
taches to the work of exploration"
Wellman is in the prime of life and
in perfect health. He says he will
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 a 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 rejo.n the FAM
lily circle.
Twice before has Mr.. Wellman said
good-by to his family TO separate him
self for months from it's 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 sufficient return for their time of
waiting and anxiety.
In Paris arrangements will be made
for the building OF an airship OF double

1t will be built to carry five men, S..
