Wellman an 0hioan.
Mr. WeIlman was born at Mentor.
O.. on Nov. 3. 1888. After receiving
public school education he established
a weekly paper at Sutton. Neb., when
fourteen years old. When twenty-oue
ne founded the Cincinnati Evening
Post. In 1854 Mr.. Wellman was made
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cagO Herald, now the Record Herald.
in which field he rapidly made ma
tional reputation. He gained an espe-
clal reputation as political fore
caster. 4 man who can be an accu-
rate political prophet has no mean
ability.
Wellman's work as an explorer be-
gan In 1892. when he located the exact
spot where Christopher Columbus first
set foot on American soil and erected
n monument to commemorate 1t. Two
years later he began arctic exploration
and went. TO 81 degrees north. Five
years later he explored Franz Josef
Land and went to 50 degrees. On this
expedition be narrowly escaped death
and suffered an injury that left him
lame for life
1t was not until 1906 that Wellman
began his aeronautical attempts at the
pole. Building in Paris large bal
loon. which was afterward to be en-
larCed and remOdeled into the Amer
lea. he transported IT to Spitzbergen,
from which point he planned to start
his fight The dirigible was found to
be defective. however, and was taken
back to Paris and rebuilt Again in
1907 the attempt was made. only to end
in failure Two years later he renew
ed the effort and failed once more.
Then Peary discovered the pole. and
that chapter was over.
Speaking of Peary. he tried twenty
three years before reaching the pole.
Following his example. Walter Well

Nearly Collided With Ship.

Suddenly the skipper heard the chug
of machinery and saw the lights of
vessel, but these lights were not where
any well regulated lights should be.
They were eighty feet aloft. Behind
and above them he could make out
black mass bearing down upon him.
and a collision between this strange
heavenly visitor and his masts, which
extended more a hundred feet on high,
seemed inevitable. Suddenly the rud-
der of the aerial craft was thrown
over hard, the black mass veered, and
the disaster was averted.
But, as for that skipper, there GER
tainly was never a more excited one
who sailed any of the seven seas. To
have missed smashing into another
ship by so narrow a margin would
have been sufficiently startling, but to
Craze craft that sailed eighty feet in
the air was enough to make respect
able seafaring man as dotty as the
Ancient Mariner. Other captains have
beheld the Flying Dutchman and have
looked upon the sea serpent when
both the ocean and the grog ran high,
but perhaps never since men went
down to the sea in ships was an hon
est sailor so habbergasted as the skip
per who was so nearly run down by
Wellman's America.
Taken for all in all, II was a great
cruise. Certainly the world has never
seen its like before. but may behold
many OF the kind in the days that are

life to achieve it, perhaps he has been

The Davenport University Extension
society is entering upon it's 22d year
with course of lectures quite as at
tractive and instructive, as any in the
history of the society which in the past
has set a high mark for intellectual
entertainment. The lectures are to be
delivered by Alfred H. Brown, NJ. A,
a man of high standing in the educa-
tlonal world
In these lectures are considered six
masterpieces of modern drama which
have particular bearing upon social
and moral problems confronting sOci-
ETY. and individuals today. The story
of each play is told in clear outline;
the characters and situations are de-
scribed and analysed; and the ethical,
social, and philosophtc questions IN
volved in the action are discussed.
A great drama is a clearly focused
picture of human conditions, dealing
with some theme of importance, and
enabling the spectator to see the infiu-
ence of general laws upon particular
lives. 1t is the aim in this course of
lectures to discover these general laws

alive, therefore, with interest and they
are vital in theme and treatment. A
previous knowledge of the plays is not
essential: nevertheless, some acquatnt-
ance with them will enhance the value
of the lectures.

Last Word From Wireless.

After the great dirigible had disap-
peared in the fog at S:35 on Saturday
morning messages from her wireless
sputtered their way to the shore bat
teries or to nearby ships all through
Saturday and up to noon Of Sunday.
The last heard of her she was off Nan
tuCket, having made about one-siXth
of the journey across the Atlantic.
Then to a query If all was well with
her the answer came family. Yes"
followed by q still fainter "Goodby."
Then for nearly forty-eight hours the
world was held in suspense. During
that time there was a constant bonn
bardment Of wireless messages from
shore and sea trying to locate her.
The tension was increased by the re-
port that there had been a severe cleo
trical storm off Sable island which
might have overtaken the venturous
new ship and her crew. Not until
Tuesday afternoon was the suspense
broken. when from the sea eastward
of Norfolk Va. hundreds OF miles

was flashed the message that Wellman
and his crew had been rescued, like
wise the cat.

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine of the
air for the outward protection and
healthy condition of the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the Cuticle has been left to an in
ward source-the blood. 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fibrous tissues are all preserved
in a healthfu1 state because of con-
slant nutriment supplied by the blood.
It is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with hunors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec-
tions. The hu1nors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
Culation direct to the skin, and their
irritating or infanmatory effect re-
mains until the blood is cleansed.
