REACH HEIGHT OF 10000 FEET.
Prince OF Monaco on Attic Expedition
Went up In The Air"

PARISH 4.-The French Academy
of Sciences has received from the
Prince of Monaco report on the chief
features of his scientific campaign in
the artic last year. Nine nationalities
were represented among the scientists
on board the two vessels, the Princess
Alice and the Qvedford. The most diff
ficult work was the geodetic survey of
the hitherto uneXplored mountain re-
gion of Spitzbergen. Under the guild
ance of Captain Issachen, who was with
Sverdrup on the Fran expedition, a
party of seven Norwegians and one
Frenchman covered 1900 miles over the
interior, glaciers, camping, between
crevasses without other resources than
those carried by their dog train. The
party obtained a complete chart of the
region. which is covered with glaciers,
only the SUBMITS of the mountains
showing above the ice. The meteorolog-
ical experiments were especially inter-
esting.
Pilot balloons dispatched from the
Princess Alice explored the atmosphere
up to the hitherto unattained height of
80, 900 feet. The air was so rare that
the tiny balloons, which only measure
three feet in diameter, could be follow
ed with the naked eye for distance of
II miles. During the photographic re-
searches in Cross Bay, icebergs of eX-
ceptional dimensions were observed.
Their circumference was as much as
1900 feet net and their height so. Drs.
Porter and Richard made some inter-
esting experiments relative to the blood
of polar animals, and some instructive
landscapes were painted by Mr.. Tinay-
re, who worked in the interior of SpitZ-
bergen as far north as 80 degrees.

Litigation Over Sullivan Estate
Nice for Tome Readers.
LEGAL TRIBE MAKES THOUSANDS
STILL THE ESTATE OF MAN WHO
DIED SEVEN YEARS AGO IS
ABLE TO PAY.

SEATTLE, Feb. 4.-That the John
Sullivan estate litigation has been the
richest plum ever handed to the law
yers of Seattle in the matter of fees,
commissions, to-, is made evident by
the final report of Terrence O'Brien,
administrator of the estate, which was
filed yesterday in the probate court.
During the seven years since the
death of Sullivan, there have been paid
to various lawyers and to the admins
traitor himself, the sum of $39,5OO. and
this does not include any fee for the
firm of Hughes. McMicken, Duval &
Ramsay. which has acted as attorney
for the administration during the past
three years, or for the administrators
fees and commissions since 1908.
When these are allowed probably sew
eral thousand dollars more will be
taken from the estate. These eX
penses are merely those of the long
fight for Sullivan's estate, most of
which have finally been awarded to
another Seattle firm, Piles, Howe &
Farrell.
According to O'Brien's report the
estate is today valued at $923,424. "a.
Of this sum the Sullivan building on
First avenue is worth $55O.OOO and ad-
joining property, 100000. The bal
anCe is in scattered property and cash.
Mr.. OBren reports that since assum-
ing charge of the estate he has spent
$3.50, SSSS9.
The law firm of Pratt and Riddle re-
ceived $4,000 for services as attorneys
for the administration, J. J. McCafferty
received $4,000 for the same work, and
Hughes McMicken. Dovel & Ramsay.
have a large fee due them for similar
work. The receiver himself has been
allowed by some of the six judges
through whose hands the estate mas
passed, fees totaling $4,000. but has
not collected all of them, although the
majority he has taken out of the es-
tate.
The costs of the estate have included
trips to Ireland by lawyers and admin
istrator to take testimony in the legal
fight for the money, and frequent
trials and appeals to the supreme
court.
In spite of these things, the Value
of the estate has increased from $642,-
600 to $923,424.34.
February q has been set by Judge
Albertson for the date of final hearing
of the administrators report. Wheh
Judge Albertson, who has recently
taken over the probate department OF
the superior court, signed the order fix
ing this date he became the sixth judge
who has taken part in the long contest
for Sullivan's money, which has not
vet been settled.

LARGEST ME1EoR|TE KNOWN
Bio Stone Falls On Farm OF Dutch
Farmer in Oregon, Sinking
Fifteen Feet.

SALEM Ore, Feb. A meteOric
stone has fallen in the adjoining coun-
tv of Linn. twenty-five miles from Sa-
lem. which. if the dimensions are re-
ported correctly, is the largest me-
teorite in existence. The report says
that the metorite made a mole in the
ground fifteen feet in diameter ana
sank ten feet into the ground. Inc
Dutch farmer on whose place it fell
did not realize that the stone possessed
any particular interest or value ana as
it was in his barnyard he filled up the
hole so his cattle would not 1all lhto
it. A party of men will drive out from
Albany and examine the find.
The second largest meteorite known
to be in existence previous to this
was found three years ago in Clack-
amas county, thirty miles north OF
this city, by a farmer named Ellis

That tetanus should have de'eiope0
