STORY OF FINDING
REMAINS OF MAJOR ANDRE

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, December IL.
-BishoI' Pascal, who has charge OF
the diocese of Prince Albert. which
embraces the subarctic country to the
north Of that city, brings back with
him story of the finding of traces of
the balloon in which S. A. Andree, the
Swedish explorer attempted to drift
across to the north pole.
One of his missionaries reported to
him that while working among the
Eskimos of the arctic region he met
a tribe which had some of the plumber
of the party with 1t. These natives
had in their possession a quantity OF
rope of quality which they could not
get in barter from the ships which
enter the Arctic sea.
WHITE MEN FROM THE SKY!
When questioned the Eslimos told
that many years before they had come
across two white men who came down
out of the sky in white house,
These men had afterward starved to
death and the natives had seized upon
the balloon, the cordage of which they
converted to their own uses. Bishop
Pascal instructed the missionary to re-
turn and get further details.
This is the second story of this kind
which has come out of the frozen
north. A Husdon Bay factor has the
same report in somewhat different
form. His story is confirmed from
the London Office of the company,
where it was sent n official dis
patches. According to the factor, an

GERMANY AFTER
HAWAII PINEAPPLE
CONSULAR REPORT FROM HAMBURG THAT IMPORTERS AN
NQUTRNG HOW TO GET PrNEAPPLEs DIRECT FROM THESE
LANDs-AsK THE CONSUL PUT THEM
PRODUCERS

The following appears in Wash
ington paper:
The most active new industry in
the Hawaiian Islands is the growing
of pineapples and their canning for
export. The same industry in Florida
is largely confined to supplying fresh
pineapples to the States northward.
Hawaii has been shipping practically
all its canned pineaIples to the Unit
ed States, their value in the fiscal
year 1907 having been $4,000, in
1908 $685., 900, and in 1909 $1,229 900.
The Hawaiian planters are still ex-
tending the growing of pineapples, and
the following report, from Consul
General Robert P. Skinner, of Ham
burg, indicates a new market outlet
for their output in Europe:
Responsible importers in Hamburg
have applied at this Office for the
addresses of first-class exporters OF
Hawaiian pineapples preserved in
their own juice, without strip, for
which, it is asserted, considerable
market already exists, and one which
can be greatly expanded whenever the
Hawaiian fruit packers make the di-
rect connections necessary to place
their product on sale at favorable
terms
It is known in this market that an
entirely satisfactory quality of pine
apple preserve is prepared in the Ha-
waiian Islands. Some shipments have
reached the Hamburg market via San
Francisco, through numerous middle
men, whereby the price has elevated
the product to such a level as to re-
strict can be found, prepared to ship
ducers can be found, prepared to ship

to German importers directly, it is
believed that the cost price, delivered,
could be reduced 20 to 30 per cent.
The fruit must be packed in CASES
of "a cans. of a gross weight of 2 IL
or pounds each, the contents being
canned in their own juice, and with
out strip. Only entire fruit, with the
core, should be shipped.
The duty on the canned fruit is rs
marks per 100 kilos ($17S5 per go
pounds) when imported from the Unit
ed States, and TO avoid the payment
of this high duty the goods are re-
ceived in the Hamburg free port and
there stored until purchasers are
found whereupon the contents of the
cans are emptied into barrels and. in
barrels, enter the customs zone upon
the payment of only 4 marks (SO,952)
per 100 kilos. 1t appears to be inn
possible to ship preserved pineapLles
in barrels over long distances.
If large quantities of Hawaiian pine
apples are to be sold in Hamburg the
price, delivered c. l. f.. should not ex-
coed 10 marks ($3.O94) per 100 kilos
German manufacturers of preserves
in sugar have expressed a demand for
fruit in its own juice of really good
qaulity, demand which is not cover
ed by the product now imported from
Singapore. A better grade of fruit ar
rives from GuadelouLe and Martini
que, but the production of these is
land is small and is absorbed chiefly
in France. The price, moreover, OF
preserved pineapples from the An
titles is so high that German manu-
facturers prefer to use fresh fruit.

Indian arrived at his post on the W.
per Churchill in 1900 from an extend
ed trapping and trading trip along the
borders of the Arctic ocean in north
ern Canada
STORY TOLD BY ESKIMOS.
The Indian told of having met a
party of Eskimos who had with them
a number of brass instruments of diff
ferent shapes, quantity of metal fi,-
tings, which they had utilized in max
ing hunting gear; several cooking
utensils and much cordage and fine
waterproof cloth. He had entered in
to communication with them and
learned something of where they go
their strange treasures.
Several years ago they had been
hunting on one of the islands of the
Arctic ocean, and one day they beheld
peculiar apparition in the sky. It
.resembled a huge "oomiak," or wom-
ans boat. When it finally landed three
men stepped out. They started to az
proach the natives, who were in
state of terror and made hostile DEM
onstration. One of the white men
fred a gun and a fight followed, in
which the natives were victorious,
killing all three of the wanderers.
The Eskfmos stated to the Indian
that they had not intended killing the
three white men, but that in their
terror they made signals for them not
to approach, took these signals as a
sign of hostility and opened fire.
