BY Airship to the Pole.

In his article BY Airship to the North
Pole, in the June McClure's, Walter
Wellman, the celebrated arctic explorer,
tells of his plans, of the expendition
which he commands, and of his huge
airship, America in which he will
make an air line dash for the North Pole
this summer. No more daring plan has
ever been undertaken, and visionary rs
the scheme sounds at first, Wellman's
remarkable article leaves one with the
Impression that he has "a good chance of
success.
Az early rs 1894, Wellman says, he
began to think of seeking the North Pole
through the air but his scheme finally
began to take shape on the last day of
the year 1907, when an editor gave him
an order to build an airship and with
it go find the North Pole" One month
from the day that the order was given a
contract was made in Paris for the build.

fully equipped, with motors and ma.

1t was hoped by Wellman that he
might be able to make his voyage last
summer, but the airship was not de-
livered until the middle of last June
Everything was shipped by rail to from

HALF A LOAF, THEN.
Brookland Will Have Two-Room
Building, Not Four.

AS result of public hearing given a
delegation of colored citizens from Brook
land. at the District building today. the
long-standing controversy over the selec-
ton of school site for the colored chill
dren of that suburb may soon be settled.
Congress, at it's last session. appropriated
$500 for the erection of four-room
school building for colored children in
Brookland. Since then every tentative site
has been protested by the white residents,
members of the Brookland Citizens Asso-
citation.
At the hearing today Engineer Commits
soner Morrow suggested that Congress be
asked for authority to use the appropra-
ton for the construction of two-room
school building. as the appropriation Is not
sufficient to purchase desirable site and
build a first-class schoolhouse of four
rooms.
The half-dozen colored residents of
Brookland who attended the hearing read
lily agreed that this solution would be sat
isfactory to them. Those who addressed
the meeting were A. J. Farley, B. F. Pet
way and Austin Gray. The proposed site
upon which to erect this 'two-room build
ing is on the Bunker Hill road near Otis

WILD AFRICAN SILK.
Quantities of Cocoons Found by New
Yorker in Dark Continent.

According to Consul c. E Eager OF Bar
men. Germany. an important discovery was
made a few months ago by German resi-
dent OF New York, who has just finished
an exploration of the region surrounding
the east African lakes. The consul writes:
"A wild silk has been found by the trav-
eler which is not only of importance to the
silk trade. but will also be Of interest to
scientists as well. To the latter chiefly
that 1t may bring the source of the silk
of the ancient races nearer to its final So
luton. The discoverer of this silk has Sc
cured concessions from both the Englis
and German colonial authorities.
Il am informed that there is every likeli-
hood that the cocoons can be unwound in
a single thread If proper care be taken in
the process. which enhances the value Of
the silk. Experiments to this end have
not as yet been concluded. Besides the
coons, these caterpillars give with each
spinning large quantity of superior
terial for spun silk or schappe. The cocoons
are inclosed in numbers of from so to 500 or
more In thick covering or nest. the ma
teriai of which consists of pure silk fiber.
and being available In large quantities,
might influence the schappe market to
large extent as soon as operations are
started on a sufficient scale.
"A most important and valuable fact in
regard to this silk Is that II can be
bleached to a very fine white which is con-
trary to other well known wild silks, among
which Tussah silk Is the best known. The
African lake regions seem to be a promis-
ing land for silk culture. there being
abundance OF the trees. the leaves of which
the caterpillar prefers for Its food"

enterprise has been launched on Vancouver

carloads of the bivalves. known to the trade
as 'spat.' purchased In South Norwalk,

have been laid out according to their age
In square beds fifty by fifty feet. Though
the bulk of the oysters planted will have to
remain In the sea bed for two Or three
years. a large quantity will be dug up for
the market In September and 1t is expected
that sufficient demand for this catch will
be found in British Columbia 1t is calcu-
lated to supply. later on. the markets as
far east as Winnipeg and Chicago.
AT present the market here is supplied
with the Olympia oysters. large beds Of
which are under cultivation at Olympia,
Grays Harbor and Willapa. Wash. The
American manager of the new concern was
for seventeen years engaged in oyster cul-
ture on the coast of Massachusetts,, and re-
CARDS the Pacific coast as well suited for
the cultivation of the eastern oyster as
are the Atlantic coast beds"

dealer in premium trading stamps at %
West 42d street. made an assignment yes
terday to Edward J. Larkin Morris H.
Elvidge is president and Frederick j.
Nichols secretary and treasurer They
started the business in March, 1906, and
incorporated it in November 1908, under
New York laws with a capital stock Of
$2jO.OO0 The plan was to make deals with
cigar dealers to use coupon stamps, which
the company was to redeem for various
articles.
John T. Booth. attorney for the assignee
said yesterday that the cause OF the assign
ment was the failure of the Independent
cigar dealers to cooperate with the COM
pany against the trust, to keep the coupon
stamps in circulation. He could give no
figures at present as to assets and liabili-
ties The principal liability will probably
be to those who bought the stamps from
the company and the holders of the unre-
deemed stamps.
