WelIman's Airship Voyaue,

Walter Wellman's attempt to reach
the north pole by an airship voyage
while not disastrous was failure.
He says of the attempt: after the
steamer Express cast off the cable,
the balloon America did excellently
but an increasing wind soon gave us
a hard struggle, and the storm drove
us toward some high, jagged noun
tains near the coast where the air.
ship would have been destroyed if she
struck. The struggle with the wind
and snowstorm showed the power
of the airship, but the compass was
defective and the voyagers were com.
pletely lost in a snowstorm above the
Polar sea and threatened with de.
struction." Finally deciding to return
to the steamer, Wellman says the
airship circled three times in the
teeth of the wind We saw the Elk
press for moment, but Immediately
lost her again. We could have re-
turned to the Express If we could
have seen where to steer, but under
the circumstances the only thing pos
sible was to try to land. With this
idea we stopped the motor and let
the America drift over the glacier.
At the end of Foul bay we used a
trailer filed with provisions and a
brake rope. Both acted we'll and
dragged over an ice wall 100 feet
high without damaging the provis-
ions.
After crossing the glacier we open
ed the valve and landed half a mile
in shore. The landing was effected
so successfully that material weigh
ins nine tons descended three hun
dred feet and touched the ice with
no shock or damage whatever excent.

OF MICHIGAN
THE FOUR MYSTERIES OF GRAND
TRAVERSE NOT YET
SOLVED.
THE PROSECUTED WIDOW
Sister Mary's Disappearance, Perse-
cuted Family, Will on a Toad
stool and a Burned Mill.
Who Can Solve Them.

Every effort is being made to solve
four systeries which have agitated
the Grand Traverse region, but no
results have yet been obtained. The
first of these is the missing nun from
the Isadore convent On Friday, Au-
gust %, Sister Mary disappeared while
the priest in charge of the convent
and church was out fishing. An alarm
was sent out and every attempt has
been made to find her, detective
having been called upon the case
only to give it up. Tracks of the
woman have been found, bloodhound
is believed to have discovered her,
but still she is missing, successfully
eluding all the searching parties.

The kinqsIey Puzzle.

The third in the series was at
Kingsley. Clarence Workman, a far
mer, went after his cows as usual on
Sunday evening. Seeing something
white on toadstool, he went up to
1t and discovered a large, fresh toad
stool almost covered with writing. In
the fading light he discovered that
1t was a message from Joseph Allen,
who was not known here, saying that
the writer intended to commit sui
eide. The toadstool was his will, for
on 1t he gave to Ethel Thorn his
share Of his fathers estate, declaring
that she had driven him to the deed.
but he loved her No body could be
found and no trace of the writer. No
Ethel Thorn was known in the region,
and 1t was supposed that the name,
Joseph Allen, was signed by some
joker, but the toadstool also contained
the name of E. w. Allen, Of Grand
Rapids, uncle of the young man whose
name was signed. But Joseph Allen.
it was learned, was 5000 miles away
IN British Columbia, working as a
bookkeeper in a smelling plant.

twenty-five Killed.

A mistake in the sending of train
order caused ths death of 20 and in
jury of q passengers on the Quebec
express at White River Junction, VT.
Sunday morning The blame for the
wreck lies between the dispatcher at
Concord and the night operator at Ca
naan, small station near the juno
ton.
The mistake came in the confusing
of train numbers. The wrecked train
is No. 80. A Montreal train which was
scheduled to follow it 20 minutes later,
is No. "a. The latter was over an hour
late. But the conductor of a freight
train was handed dispatch at Canaan
stating that No. 80 was an hour and 10
minutes late.
This gave the freight plenty of time
to make a siding four miles away.
The freight went on and No. 80, which
was on time, crashed into it at full
speed near curve, neither engineer,
in the early morning mist, seeing the
others headlight until too late to do
anything.

The Wrecked Frieate's Bell.

Probably very few people are aware
that an old ships bell which for many
years has lain under the sea is sus-
pended in the underwriting room at
Lloyd's and is used to announce" the
arrival or other news received in re-
spect to overdue ships. This is the
bell of the frigate Lutine, wrecked
long ago off the Dutch coast. After
being under the water for years the
bell was saved and now, strangely
enough, is employed to inform under
writer's that something has been heard
of one Of those ships which by their
protracted passages are causing un-
easiness. Not every ship that is on the
overdue market is announced in this
manner. 1t is only when an under
writer has expressed to the committee
his desire for immediate information
in respect to this or that overdue YES
sci that the note of the old black bell
rings through the rooms. At the pres
ent time, says the Scotsman, there are
IL ships down on the list for announce
ment by the Lutine bell, but some Of
these are so hopelessly overdue that
it is practically certain nothing fur
Their will be heard of them. The big
steel bark Alsternixe, for instance,
heads the list. She was formerly the
British ship Lord Templemore and
was built at Belfast in 1892. This ship
has not been heard of since last No
vember, when she sailed from Callao
for Australia.

Who Fired the MiIIs2

The fourth and latest mystery lies
in the w. e. Williams mill fire.
which occurred Tuesday night, entail
ing loss Of $4,000. The fire occur
red in a dry kiln where hardwood
lumber was stored. There was no
fire there, it had rained for about a
week and had rained on the day of
the fire; In fact, fierce rainstorm
was raging when it was discovered,
so that precluded any possibility of
1T igniting from a locomotive spark.
Six months ago the mill was com
pletely destroyed and the origin of
the fire was never learned

The Invisible Stone Thrower.

The next mystery" to occupy the
attention of the people had its scene
at Williamsburg. Mrs. T. Bailey,
widow living with her two sons and
her daughter-in-law, is the victim. One
year ago her barn was burned from
unknown cause. Some time later some
one took thirty jars of fruit and four
pounds Of butter, as well as money
and other articles. About two weeks
ago, thieves again entered the house
taking more fruit, more autter and
even pie plates and cups and saucers
as well as all the money they could
find. Again there was no clue. A
week later the home was visited
again. The climax came on Sunday
night the Sth, when stones were
thrown through the windows and
search was made by the sons but
without discovery. At 6 a. m. while
the boys had retired for a little rest
more stones were thrown through the
windows, but they could not find the
thrower. Then guards were stationed
about the house for a night and while
the men were eating a lunch at a.
m. Mrs. Bailey was in the kitchen
making coffee and from time to time
nervously glanced behind her at a
side window. Sure enough, mans
hand was seen and at the same in
slant a revolver butt was thrust
through the glass and withdrawn.
This was the last seen of the in
truder.

Church of England, more than 5000
benefices have less than $1,000 year,
and of these 1,139 have under $500. In
order to assist the incumbents in
these livings, the Queen Victoria cler-
gy fund was started, and, as Lord
Cross showed at its tenth anniversary
a few days ago, it has done something
though of late the total has dwindled
to giving living wage to the poorer
