10 White Island next summe to
look for further evidences Of the
Andree expedition.
DR.. Horn said 1t Is possible that
Frankels body might be found
there, buried in the ice. Many Of
the things which the Horn party
found were dug up from a depth
OF eighteen inches or more II Is
considered possible that FrankelS
body lies further down in the ice.
IL appeared today that something
happened very suddenly and unex-
pectedly TO bring down the balloon
on the ice when 10 was less than
500 miles from the North Pole 80
years ago.
While the diaries of Solomon
Auguste Andree, chief Of the expe-
ditiOn, still remains secret. 1t Is
known officially that one Of them
contains the information the bal
loon descended at 1890 D.. m. July
Is, 1897, just as hours after the
start from Danes Island, Spitz-
bergen.
Earlier on July 10, when the bal
loon. IL was presumed, was nearing
the end Of its second day out, its
occupants dispatched a carrier
pigeon containing the message:
Good journey northward, north
wind, las miles north and 45 miles
east OF the starting point"
There certainly was nothing In
the carrier pigeons message, which
was received soon afterward. TO in

Beiated Honors Paid
First British Aeronaut

In honor of James Sadler, the
first British aer0naut, a memorial
tablet has been erected at Oxford.
On October 4, 1874, he "did aston
ish the people by ascending into
the atmosphere with firmness and
intrepidity." His balloon was 10
feet in circumference, and car
ried small bra2ier, suspended un-
der the envelope, in order to main
tain heated air to give the power
of ascension. II shot up to a
height of 5000 feet. and was blown
northwest.
Unfortunately, Sadler dropped
the fork used to handle the fuel,
and it is said he avoided coming
down in a wood by using oars.
Eventually, after half an hours
flight, he had Travelled about six
miles. In his second flight he used
hydrogen, and in three minutes
was lost to sight in the clouds.
Twenty minutes later he came
down near Aylesbury, Il miles
away.
For % years Sadler worked as
q chemist, engineer, and inventor,
but when fifty-seven he returned TO
ballOOning. In 1914 he ascended
from Burlington house, Piccadilly,
before q huge crowd. Subsequently
however, he failed in an attempt
to cross from Ireland to England.

Pipe to Cure Pain

The shaman or doctor of the
Wiyot Indians wore pair of feath-
er busters draped on each side of
the head. and carried a bundle of
condor feathers. an elkhide belt and
a pipe.
Among the Wiyot, unlike the
modern custom, doctors were
chiefly women. Some of them di-
agnosed the ills of their tribespeo-
pie by dancing or singing, others
sucked out pain through their
magic pipes. The condor feathers
were pushed down the throat, much
as sword swallower would
handle O knife. A very complete
shaman's outfit which has passed
from one member of the tribe to
another for several generations,
has been recently acquired by the
Museum of Anthropology of the
University Of California.

Death By Sunshine

Sunshine, the great cure-all and
Iife-giver, is paradox in one case
at least. Through the medium of
the geranium it spells death TO in
sects.
Insects which are attracted by
the leaves of this beautiful plant
feast upon them and then drop par
alyzed and usually die. Where
the sun comes in is indicated by
the fact that the poison depends
upon the amount of exposure to
the sun of the plant, those of long
est exposure being deadliest.
This discovery has opened up a
new field in the study of insecti-
cides and experiments are being
pushed to determine what the
death-dealing agent may be.

Unerring Instinct Is
Natures Gift to Seal

Seals are possessed of most mar
Vicious instincts, says Gas Logic.
They know, for instance, exactly
where to bore the ice TO make their
bobbing holes and never waste
time or effort Oh ice too thick to be
penetrated. They have some mys-
teriOus way also of knowing the
width of a field of ice that must
either be swum under or passed
around
A mother seal will leave her
pup on an ice floe, slide off into
the water, travel for a great dis
tance and be gone for hours fish
ing. Meantime the ice foe, carried
by winds and currents, drifts far
also. Yet when quitting time"
comes the mother unerringly re-
turns to the right foe, comes up
through her own bObbing hole and
at once finds her waiting child.
Seals normally travel through the
water at about 20 miles an nour,
but on occasion will "bolt" for a
short time at rate of about 100
miles an hour. They cannot re-
main submerged without drowning
for more than about 20 minutes.
A mother seal among swarm
of seal pups" is said to be a
very curious sight. Many of the
pups" solicit her maternal atten-
tion, but she angrily repes them
all, finds her own baby and nurses
no other. The seal youngsters all
look precisely alike to man, but her
nose knows!

poor Place for Doctor

Many centuries after the time OF
the Greeks and the Romans cabbage
was still so highly thought OF as
n health giver that the story was
fold of a doctor going to settle in
Denmark, who, when he saw fields
OF cabbage everywhere, lost heart,
deciding that Denmark would be
q moor market for his services. But
an English writer Of half a CEN
tury ago recounted with apologies
Instances of the high regard In
which the vegetable has been held.
His age. said he, looked on all
members of the cabbage family as
hard to digest and affording little
nourishment.

Explaining Seasons Names

There is some doubt as to how
the names of the seasons orig
mated. Spring is from the Anglo
Saxon Spring" meaning "a source
of water, a springing, a rising or
leaping." probably in reference to
the coming out of young shoots at
this time of the year. Summer is
from the Sanskrit "sama," meaning
"year." Autumn is from the Latin
"autumnus'' perhaps connected
with "augere," past participle "auc-
tus." meaning increase" autumn
being the season Of produce. Win
ter is from the Gothic "wintris' !;
probably originally it meant the
"snowy time"

GAIN FOR BONDS IN 1880

Heavy financing by railroads. pub

the opinion of Frank j. Reynolds,
president Of Albert Frank e. Co. New
financing in 1880, In his opinion, will
again show many of the characteristics
of 1928 and 1924. but with the scope
OF domestic transactions probably

rules would apply and the old con-
servatism would again come into vogue
and that bonds would be re-recognized
as the only At investment securities.
OF course, If this is true 1t will initiate
against recovery in the stock market;
but is it true?
Stock Theory OF Investment,
The two principal arguments in favor
of the stock theory of investment are,
first. that stocks protect one against a
depreciating dollar. and, second. that
the equity represented by the stock is
constantly growing, whereas the interest
OF the bondholder in his security is
fixed by the principal amount thereof.
The first of these claims may be dis
missed from consideration In a cycle of
falling commodity prices, but the sec.
ond is not SO easy to dispose Of.
It is true that the owner of q COM
mon stock paying 5 per cent in divi-
dends Is better on than the owner of a
bond paying per cent in interest. as
Stunning that the stock is OF a company
with a favorable outlook and that a
substantial proportion of earnings Is
reinvested In the business The pro-
lection that generous diversification
gives against the mishaps common to
all investment makes q favorable COM
parlSon with the SAFETY OF PRINCIPAL
supposed to be secured by an invest
ment policy which confines purchases
| to bonds.
How far the fundamentals of the case
viii appeal to the investing public ur-
der present conditions Is q matter of
opinion, but the trend today is still IN
favor OF the stock and against the bond
There is nothing to show that there mas
been or will be wholesale desertion of
stocks for fixed Understanding secure
ties because Of the break In the mar
ket. Possibly there ought to be, but
what we are dealing with here is tine
straws which show which way the in
vestment wind Is blowing and SO give
some indication Of the future Of the
