Upon the return Of President Roose-

eminent White steamers resumed ser
vice at Oyster Bay, the summer cap

last year. making the first trip to saga
more Hill at I'm the morning, and the
list trip aft5- midnight.
There is but little time during the
day when the cars are not engaged on
scTne official mission. Last season the
two cars went through the four months
season with a record of never having
missed a trip and never having been

The record made last year by White
steamers insured their being chosen for
the work again this year and the offers
made by numerous other manufacturers
received but scant consideration.
This is distinctly the touring season

first tour of the Automobile Club OF
America, now about completed, and the

" been made concerning it. The roads.
particularly through the eastern Soc
ton OF the country, are alive with tour

Explorer Baldwin Would Use Portahss
Houses and Ice FIoes.
What is pronounced by experts to be
the best plan for north polar research
is the novel one proposed by Evelyn
Briggs Baldwin.
~ am soon to lay this plan in detail
before the Harvard union at Cam
bridge" said the explorer recently at
New York, "but I'll tell you this much
now:
"Give me a cargo Of logs, another of
casks partly filed with emergency sup
plies and a single vessel specially con-
structed, and we can go from Boring
strait to the pole and right across the
Arctic ocean. Scatter the logs, portable
houses, casks, etc., upon a group of
heavy ice foes surrounding the ship,
shifting the supplies If necessary by
means of windlasses. motors or dogs,
and We'll succeed. A single crew can
manage the three cargoes.
"Had the Jeanette expedition adopt
ed this plan it would have won. In
my support Rear Admiral Melville
stated to me that small house erect
ed on the ice at the beginning Of the
drift of the Jeanette having been
blown away before it had been fas-
tened down was found two years later
less than two miles from the ship, thus
proving that the ship and ice proceed
Just as a balloon moves with the at
mosphere in which it floats.
''With portable studios and laborato-
ries our artists and scientists may
work in tranquility. With balloons we
will view wide belt Of territory and,
as did the Baldwin, iegler expedition,
frequently dispatch messages home
ward. With our logs as fuel We'll bar
becue the walrus, seal and polar bear
With the casks as emptied we'll form
fotilla filled with duplicates of our
collections.
"'Good scheme, said Admiral Schley
the other day."

The Modern Carrier.


There is something at home that keeps
crying,
With the funniest kind of a squeak.
In a bundle by mamma it's lying,
And they just let me in for peek
When 1 ask them to tell how they caught
it
The nurse walks me out by the ear
And she says that an aeroplane brought
it.
But know that a stork left me here.
I have looked all around for some traces,
But 1 can't find the least bit of proof
So s'pose it was due other places
And just dropped him down on our
roof.
And, though nurse and most all of the
others
Declare that it's true, it looks queer
For an airship to peddle new brothers
When 1 know that a stork brought me
here.
Well, 1 guess that I'll have to believe it,
Because they all say it is so,
But twas mean in the fellow to leave 1t
And never let any one know.
My, II seems like the funniest thing! II
Perplexes. for how can it be
That the aeroplane fellow should bring II
When the stork is the one that brought
me?

Pie With Knives.

George Washington, John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and
James Monroe, the first five presi-
dents, each ate pie with his knife. 1t
was not until John Quincy Adams en-
tered the White House that the substi-

to have occurred to any citizen Of
America "He contracted the habit
while in France" said Mrs. Adams in
an apologize tone to some of her
guests, land he finds it difficult to
break himself Of it since we returned
home" So the first great general of
the American army, the sturdy patriot
Of Massachusetts, the author of the
Declaration of independence, the chief
advocate of the federal constitution
and the originator of the Monroe doc
