PROF. ANDRES
BODY FOUND?
Remains Of Explorer Discovered
on Coast Of Labrador.
TRIED FOR POLE IN BALBOA

Report Says An American Skipper
Discovered Cross Bearing the
Name ANDRE" and Beneath 1t
Found a Body and Box OF Docu-
ments-lll-Fate Expedition Of Three
Men In Balloon Left On July II,
1897.
Copenhagen. Nov. 12.-There Is rea-
son to believe that the body of Pro
fessor 5. 4. Andre, the Arctic explorer,
who in 1897 made an attempt 10 reach
the North Pole in a balloon. has been
found on the coast of Labrador.
A letter received here from the cap
tain OF the Danish steamer lnga. dated
Labrador. Sept 80, reports that Cap
tain Chalker, skipper Of the American
schooner Pelops. of Conception bay.
New Foundland. discovered In north
ern Labrador a cross bearing the name
Andre" and that beneath this cross
he found a body and box OF docu-
ments.
The letter from the captain OF the
Inga was sent from Indian Side. Lab
rador and states that the schooner
Pelops arrived there from Cape Mug
ford. Northern Labrador. Captain
Chalker reported that he went inland
at that place. and about a quarter OF
mile from shore came upon a sim
pie wooden cross. on which was in
scribed the name Andre
He dug under the cross and found
human remains and box containing
papers. Captain Chalker said that he
removed the cross, but he refused to
say whether or not the papers were in
his possession.
The place whore the cross was dis
covered is an absolute 'sert and is
rarely visited. even by he Eskimos.
What became Of Andres companions.
If the discovered remains prove to be
his. is problematical. but light prob
ably will be thrown upon their fate by
an examination Of the papers.
Captain Chalker is a half caste Es-
kimo. who took part in the landing OF
the Pcary expedition in Greenland.
The expedition TO discover the North
Pole. organized by Professor 5. A
Andre a Swedish explorer. left Danes
island. Spitzbergen. in a balloon the
afternoon of July II. 1897. Professor
Andre was accompanied by two cam
panions. Strindberg and Fracnkcl He
was prepared to drop messages re-
lating his progress. and various such
communications were discovered the
three months following his departure.
No authentic news. however. concern
ing the fate of the balloon or its occu-
pants was ever received.
In September. 1899. buoy marked

cher attached. was picked up on King

Twice it was reported that Andres

which were surging through his par

ought TO be committed to a hospital
for treatment. His family, II is said,
were about to make arrangements TO

Fear the "Callao Painter"

Naval officers who have made the
cruise from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific
at this time OF the year are speculat-
ing as to the effect of what is known
as the "Callao painter" upon the ships
of the United States battleship fleet
during their stay at Callao. The Cal
lao painter" is n peculiar condition of
the water in the harbor at times,
caused by the presence of sulphurated
hydrogen due to sewer gas and other
causes. Ships painted white. as arc
those of Admiral Evans fleet, have
been known to turn dirty brown or
grayish black within two days after
anchoring in the harbor of Callao, the
change being attributed to the effects
OF the mysterious "Callao painter,
and that despite the most persistent
scrubbing Whether admiral Evans
ships are fatcd to encounter the
painter" and thus lose their gleam-
ing Wilderness time alone can tell. but
If they do there will be unmistakable
manifestations of disgust on the part
of the bluejackets, to whom the clean.
Illness OF the fleet is matter of the
keenest pride.

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be SO anxious to know of its nature
as TO hear of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half century ago, it is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which affiict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, ImpOverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not SO obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
Is accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, of n nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.
