LITTLE LIGHT
ON EXPEDITION
Diaries of Explorers Are
Held by Scientist For
Future Reference

Examination Of the bodies Of Solo
mo August Andree and Nils Strind-
berg, resumed today by the Swedish
experts, Prof. Hedren and Prof. Lith-
berg. produced a variety of small
objects belonging TO the two men

died before Andree and was bur-
led by him on White island Strind--

The preserved body Of a very rare
Arctic bird. nautical tables and
charts, all belonging 10 Andree, were
found among the objects in the boat.

and note books. particularly those
found on Andree's body yesterday.
The diaries are being kept care
fully locked, and it is stated that
even the experts have not examined
them thoroughly. Mr.. Hoel. the
Norwegian scientist. said statements
about them we're based upon rumor
and guess work.
prof. Lithberg stated that all
members of the examining commits
sion had sworn silence on hen con-
tents. and that nobody else has been
permitted to get near the DOCKS.
The doors Of the room where they
are stored we're padlOcked and seal

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

Paul Kvale learned his politics at his
fathers knee. La Follettism has at
tracted him since early youth-"Old
Bob" has always been the nearest ap-
proach to his political ideal.
While his father lived the son was
his confidant. He managed all of his
political campaigns, substituted for him
as a speaker, looked after the mass of
details that every Representative finds
on his hands.
BY some queer quirk of fate young
Kvale had just completed an extensive
survey of his fathers district before
the latter died. He had visited every
important center, canvassed the needs
of his constituents and attended to
them in washington when the news of
his fathers death reached him.
So thorough had been his work, that
when he decided to seek the elder
Kvale's seat in Congress, he found II
unnecessary to wage an intensive cam
paign.
His election was due to the fact that
it was tacitly understood he would pur-
sue the course of his father.
AS the only Farmer-Laborite in the
House his position Is unique. He con-
trolls no patronage While he attends
meetings Of the Minnesota State dele
cation, he is absent at all party eau
cuses. On the floor of the House he
sits on either side, usually with the
Republicans for the reason that the
other Minnesotans are members of that
party.
He admits there have been times
when he felt like a sore thumb" in
the House, but he has had little or no
cause for embarrassment. He owes al
legtance to no one.

confess that 1t is impossible for
me to believe all that 1 read about
Daniel Douglas Home, that striking
character Of Scottish ancestry who be-
gan his mediumiStic career as a youth
In this country and who later astounded
and mystified London.
Particularly do his feats of levitation
seem incredible. I can visualize, but
cannot credit, for instance, a man
suspended without support several feet
outside Of a window five stories above
the ground. Yet reputable people have
said that Home accomplished this feat.
1t must have been uncomfortable to
spend much time in the company of a
person who did such unnatural stunts,
and strange things seemed always to be
happening when folks were in his COM
pany. For one thing, his dead wife
kept coming back to earth to pay him
visits. She was apt to reveal herself
to others than her husband.
There was that eery and awesome &C.
casion when she appeared to James
Ludovic Lindsay, the Earl Of Crawford,
statesman and scientist. This gentle
man has related in utter sincerity that
ne saw what appeared to be the ghost
OF the former Mrs. Home.
On a certain evening Crawford had

The earl was just doing OF to sleep
when this strange experience began. He
felt his pillow slipping from under his
head. He could discern what he thought

This action ceased. He then saw near
the foot Of the sofa the figure Of 9
woman, her side turned toward him and
he- face toward Home. The room was
half lighted by the moon and he could
see her features perfectly. A long wrap
fell from her shoulders.

he called to Home.

He paused and then calmly explained

Upon this the figure Of the woman
faded away. But Crawford was not done
with strange happenings. Looking down,
he saw on his knee steady flame OF
fire which he has described as about 9
inches high. He passed his hand
through the middle of the flame, but II

into Homes bed, settled on his head
and went out.
Crawford waited. Nothing more hap
pened. He puzzled over these strange
happenings. recalling again the face of
the unearthly visitor. He noted that
there were no curtains, blinds or shut
tiers over the windows; that the ground
outside was covered with snow, which
aided the rays OF bright moon, and
that these things had robbed the room

SPRINCTIME
By D. G. PEArTIE.

Brown and swift the Potomac rolled
along, making for the tioewater; very
bare were the branches, or just tingeo
with an eery greeny gold, in the river
woods. I heard no voice except the
phoebeS Song-phoebe, the early conner,
the gentle complainant, fresh from the
South.
I was tired and longing for Spring
to march more swiftly. In the dark,
soft ground, wet with the rivers over
flow, I saw the little Spring beauty all
around my feet. So frail and very
small and delicate in tint, how was it
able to reaSsure me? It gave a child
assurance. And If you think a child's
philosophy worth little, ask yourself
Why we should believe only the old and
sad. Under the little trees the carpet
of pink flowers was ripple of laughter.
The innocence of the world saw was
not gone.
The botanical name of this little
plant has always been Claytonia, and
1t commentaries the name Of one John
Clayton, clerk of the court of Matthews
County, Va, in the days of fat George !,
botanist and explorer and author OF
the first work on the natural history
of Virginian wild flowers. Those were
the fresh and merry days, when every
flower of the New World was new, too,
ana any one COulO GISCOFcE AlCW cpC-
cies. The amiable science of botany
in those days was in its promising
Springtide.
There is that other, better known
story of the greatest of American bot
anists, Asa Gray, who as boy received
little manual Of botany and all Win
ter long sat by the lamp, porting over
its pages, his career already decided in
his mind, though his father had thought
to make of him a tanner like himself.
his mother being no less certain he
must become a minister.
The harmonious mystery Of Latin
names, the probing of the delicate SYM
metry Of many sort of flowers, the habi-
tats in the book, mellif1uous phrases
like Gin cool mountain woods" lin
messy SOIL" ION limestone bogs," ION
open salt marshes" Gin ballast land
around docks and wharves"-all this
fired his young imagination. On the
first day of Spring he fed out to the
woods, picked the first flower he saw
and tracked it down in his manual to
the name Claytonia virginia., the
Spring beauty.
