CAUGHT In THE ice.
Congressman Sulzer Tells of His
Arctic Experience.

Chicago, Sept. ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Seattle, Washington,
says:
Congressman William Sulzer of
New York last night told of his ex-
perience while cruising for three days
in a gasoline boat among the ice foes
off the coast of Siberia in danger of
being crushed at almost any minute.
He says he and his three compan-
ions owe their lives to the sagacity of
an Eskimo whom they took along as
a guide. Incidentally he learned
good deal of Arctic lore in these three
days. When finally rift in the
grinding of the polar pack showed
them the way to clear water he felt
much better.
I'VE crossed the Behring straits in
a gasoline boat owned by two fur
traders said Mr.. Sulzer land visited
a number of Eskimo villages above
East Cape. Aside from the two
traders a friend of mine, and an
Eskimo guide named Sigussa. no 9TH
ers were in the boat. We had easy
sailing, stopping at intervals to see the
tribe villages. until we reached Cape
Serdez. We anchored off windward
shore on September 1 and prepared to
spend the night, lying perhaps ten
miles to seward. That night the ice
came in, and for three days we had to
fight our way out through the pack"

SUCCESSFUL DIRIGIBLE BALLOON
Zeppelin's Machine Made Up and Down
Flights With Ease

Constance, Baden, Sept. 27.--Count
Ferdinand Zeppelin, the German aero
naut, has made the most successful
aerial voyage hitherto achieved in any
dirigible balloon. He spent four hours
and II minutes in the air. completely
circumnavigating the lake of Constance
and passing over five different states
The speed of the airship is estimated
to have been at least SO miles an hour
When both motors were in operation it
easily outdistanced the numerous
steamers laden with observers that fol-
lowed on the lake.
Count Zeppelin, who is SO years of
age, was in command of the airship
He had with him two assistants and a
crew of seven men to run the motors
The airship executed the most di-
verse evolutions with the greatest ease
1t paraded back and forth before the
windows of the royal castle at Fried
richshafen, making the turns on a very
small radius, and coming down the
homeward stretch it assembled or de-
scended at the will of the pilot, at
times almost dipping into the water
and then rising to a height of 600 feet
The balloon used is on a rigid frame
420 feet long 1t holds 1000 cubic
metres of gas
Count Zeppelin was enthusiastic over
his work, and intends to make another
ascent tomorrow.

of the 18th chapter of the gospel ac-
cording to st. Luke, Render the ac-
count Of thy stewardship. for thou
canst be no longer steward"
THE one thing" he said, "the one
sentence which above all others
would say to you, a sentence as yet
unlearned in London and New York
and which If adopted, will cleanse the
life of both sides of the Atlantic is
life is a stewardship and not an own
ership. All the evils in the world are
due to the neglect of the Christian
principle that we are here only as
custodians of what we have. be it
wealth or anything else, founded upon
the fact that Christ died to redeem
man and again place him in fair
standing"
