morning reading, and when he stepped
off the train here appeared in the
highest spirits.

have made him an ideal newspaper

Mr.. Wellman was born In Mentor,
Ohio. in 1858. At IA he began his
newspaper experience, establishing at
that age weekly paper in the little
town of Sutton, Neb In 1884 he be-
came the Washington correspondent
for the Chicago Herald, for which
paper he visited the West Indies in
1892 and located the landing place Of
Columbus, marking the spot with Il
huge stone monument. Ia 1894 he
made his first dash for the pole, reach
ing the latitude Of 81 degrees north
east of Spitzbergen. In 1898 he tried
the same facinating quest again, ,pene
trating as far as Franz Josef Land.
On both trips he had wonderful sue
cess in discovering new islands and
securing new scientific data which
have been of great value to the Ameri-
can Geographical Society. His volu-
miuOus writings for scientific <periodi-
calls and popular magazines have
shown the same incisive thought and
keen insight that have marked his
journalistic work.
