across the Arctic ocean. Scatter the logs, port

expedition adopted this plan II would have
won. In support of my plan Rear Admiral Mel
vile stated to me that small house erected
on the ice at the beginning OF the drift of the
Jeanette having blown away before II had
been fastened down, was found two years later
less than two miles from the ship, thus proving
that the ship and Ice proceed just as balloon
moves with the atmosphere in which IL floats.

Discovery OF the nortn pole will doubtless be
made within the ifetimes of many citizens of
to-day. Anyhow that is what the scientists de-
clare They say the mere discovery of the
pole is simple 1t is the conquering of the de-
tails which must be surmounted that require
the thought and efforts.
Most novel of all plans TO plant the American
flag or for that matter any other country's
flag on top of the pole is that which some
time ago was proposed by Evelyn Briggs Bald
win, who is now working out details of his
scheme.
This intrepid explorer aims to float to the
pole and take plenty of time getting there He
laid out the plan in detail before the Harvard
union at Cambridge, Mass. some time ago and
while some blase persons were skeptical, 9th
ers said they liked the plan.
Here's the way Mr.. Baldwin would do 1t:

So Mr.. Wellman went way up north far
away from Sweden and after spending a long
time in the construction of his aerial pole
finder, he set sail in his airshp in a snowstorm
The snow was thick high up in that cold eli
mate and II got into the pilots eyes. Conse-
quently the expedition was abandoned for the
time
Next June however, Mr., Wellman will again
set sail for the pole with the assurance that
his machine will perform at least part of the
journey satisfactorily. On ethereal subjects
Wellman has become an expert lie has also
had real polar experience. Mr. Wellman not
long ago declared that his airship is, for his
own purpose Of finding the pole, more efficient
than that of Count Zeppelin, which can sail
all day long without dropping to earth for
more gasoline
Commodore Peary is to-day scrutinizng arc
tic regions for signs of the location of the pole.
He will go far north as is possible his
polar ship Theodore Roosevelt, and dogs and
sledges will take him the rest of the distance,
1t will be several years. probably, before the
real fruits of this expedition become known to
newspaper readers of America.

The reason the north pole is said to be play
ing hide and seek is said to be this:

east Hence centrifugal forces tend TO pull
the regions OF the equator outward thus Civ

rubber is best; II shows the hattening better
than hard rubber. Push a nail through the
ball, making II an axis and then tie strings In
each end of the nail Hold the strings in yoDr
right hand and twirl them over your head
During the twrling you notice that the ball
becomes hatter at each end and bulges slightly

MORSE MANSION TO
GO UNDER HAMMER

New York, May 26.-The announce
ment is made that the Charles w.
Morse mansion at 72s Fifth ave-. is to
be sold under the a%uctioneer's hammer
on Jun 10. Creditors nave more than
$4,000 0 in claims against the residence
having obtained a court order authoriz-
ing the disposal of the property to the
highest bidder.
This means that Mrs. Morse, Wife Of
the former ice king, will be dispos-
sessed. unless friends of the imprisoned
capitalist come to her aid and raise
more than half a million dollars to
save the remnant OF what was five
years ago n of the greatest fortunes
in America. The house is the last rem
nant Of his fortune. which once reached
$40, 0oO. 900. She said that she knew
nothing about a sale and had made no
plans to leave. Her friends said she
would fight for her home to the last
ditch.
The house, a fve-story structure on
the west side Of the venue, adjoins
the residence of Harry Payne Whit
ney, and is one of the show places Of
the famous "Millionaire's Row"
