Eleven Years.

It is eleven years since the intrepid
Andree sailed away into the mystic
rious regions Of the frozen north. The
fate of him and Of his balloon remains
mystery which probably will never
be solved. In his day, SO recent as it
was. aeronautics was in its infancy.
Now, with airships that can remain
aloft for twelve hours, the feat he at
tempted is nearer possibility. One
message came from him after starting,
brought by carrier pigeon to the
whaler Aiken. It ran thus:

The birth recently Of d son and heir
to the Duke of Norfolk was treated in
England as an event Of almost national
Importance. The Duke OF Norfolk is
man Of mark in many ways. He il
the most important lay member Of the
Roman church in Great Britain and
acts to all intents and purposes when
occasion arises as British ambassador
to the Vatican. He is also the premier
peer Of Great Britain. and the birth of

Of Howard. which stands next to the

Writers are at their desks twice
