Tromsoe, Norway, June 23.—For the
second t^me within a dozen years Wai
ter Wellman, the American explorer,
is here completing preparations for a
dash Into the Polar region, which lies
at the very gates of this far northern
town. If all goes well another week or
so will see the little party of intrepid
Americans ready for their airship
flight over the Arctic seas with the
North Pole as their goal.
The Norwegians are taking the
keenest Interest in the Wellman expe
dition. Aerial navigation is new to
them, but Arctic exploration is not.
They view the American adventure
kindly enough, but at the same time,
the Norwegians are true to their Idol,
and their idol in Arctic work, .naturally
enough, is the gallant Dr. Nansen.
The popularity of Dr. Nansen is very
great among his countrymen, and they
look upon Mr. Wellman as a dangerous
competitor of their favorite in the
race for the pole. The vast majority,
however, unite in the sentiment that
if a Norwegian cannot have the honor
of winning the pole then may it be an
American.
Mr. Wellman is putting the finishing
touches to his preparations with the
same feeling that he began the work.
He has the same faith in the feasibil
ity of his plans, while at the same time
he appreciates all the difficulties and
dangers of the project.
Two problems are uppermost in his
project. First, the vertical stability of
his airship, as affected by heat, cold
and precipitation, and controlled by
guide rope and ballast: Becond, the
possibility of successful anchorage
during high winds. A balloon fs nec
essarily a very delicately balanced in
strument. A ray of sunshine, a puff of
cold or warm wind, a touch of damp
mist, causes the balloon to rise or fall.
It is most essential in a protracted
voyage to keep the balloon at an even
height. This the heavy guide rope
does. Trailing along tho ground or In
the sea, it keeps the balloon down,
since, when the airship has a tendency
to rise, it has to lift more and more of
the weight of the rope. On the other
hand, as the balloon descends, it is
relieved of the weight. The guide rope
is also of some service in steering the
unstable craft, and for this purpose
Andree used Beveral ropes.
According to Mr. Wellman’s plans
his airship is at no time to be out of
touch with the surface of the earth. A
smooth, tapering line of steel is' to
drag its lower end over the ice, keep
the ship at a fairly stable height (150
to 250 feet), and maintain, under ordi
nary conditions, the vertical stability
of the craft. Then there are other
factors involved in the problem of ver
tical stability. There may be an ac
cumulation of frost, snow, sleet or
moisture upon the airship amounting
to several hundreds of pounds in an
hour or so. In operation the motor is
consuming fuel at the rate, perhaps, of
800 to 1,000 pounds In twenty-four
hours. The airship may lose a con
siderable part of its ascensional force
through cold and Iosb of gas at the
very time when, instead of dropping
weight to correspond through . con
sumption of gasoline, it is ai
gaining weight through accumulation
of frost and snow. Again, the reverse
may be true—a considerable gain of
volume and lift force at the very time
the motors are rapidly reducing the
weight of the cargo.
The possibility of successful anchor
age is another serious problem. In
case the ship at anchor were to be at
tacked by a wind exceeding the tre
mendous velocity of fifty miles an
hour, the envelope probably would be
ruptured and the whole thing collapse
in ruin. In such an event the aerial
part of the voyage would come to an
end, because the gas would escape and
the huge - envelope would soon come
tumbling down upon the ice. There
would then be nothing to do but to
continue the journey by means of
sledging over the ice with ice motors,
the fuel unconsuiped by the engines
of the airship being available for this
purpose,
IN tHE RUSH
LUNCH ROOM.
Uncle Silas Weatlierby of Vermont
entered one of the quick lunch rooms
of the lower town during the noon
rush, and after cautiously hanging his
old brown hat on the nearest peg and
depositing his voluminous umbrella
behind a chair, seated himself at one
of the numerous tables, says tho New
York Press. Everybody was shouting
and gesticulating, and waving slices
of pie and cups of coffee in the air,
but no one seemed to notice Uncle
Silas. Presently an ox-shouldered
waiter with a wet apron tied over a
crimson sweater shot down the aisle
between tho tables and bellowed back
toward the kitchen:
"I say One in' the dark! Chokers!
North Poles for two!”
. Uncle Silas dropped the paper nap
kin he was trying to tuck under ills
carroty whiskers and looked up in as
tonishment. \
“Is—is this here an eating place?”
he gasped.
The big waiter grinned.
“Sure t’ing,” he replied. “What did
yer t’ink it was—a shooting gallery?'
“N-no, but I didn’t understand ex
actly what you were saying. What in
tarnation is ‘One in the dark'?’
“Why, black coffee. When a mutt
has been out wld de fizz for a while
he wants black coffee, and de blacker
de better, see?”
But ‘chockers’l What in the world
are they?'
“Soda crackers. When a guy gets
to making too much money he gets
one of dese here billionaire stomachs
and can’t eat nothin’ but crackers and
milk. Sometimes he can't eat nuttlri 1
but de crackers. North Poles? Oh,
that means two cones of Ice cream on
saucers. Say, where are you from,
Pop?”
“Vermont.”
“I t’ought so. Well, sit real quiet
and 1111 bring out yer maple sugar as
soon as I spill dese ducks a few orders
before dey start a riot.”
And the big waiter made a slide for
the rear, while Uncle Silas toyed with
his paper napkin and pondered over
the ways of the quick-eating city man.
Presently the big waiter was back.
“Dutch gunboat!" he thundered,
“Snakes!”
Uncle Silas jumped out of his chair,
“Where?” he gasped.,
“Where's what?” demanded the
waiter, tilting his tray.
“The -snakes.”
“Back to the maple trees. Snakes
are buns; thedb buns that go round
and round. See?"
“And the Dutch gunboat?”
“Why, dat’s a limburger sandwich.
Shy, get wise!”
The big waiter wheeled around, and,
makihg a megaphone of his hand,
“One bath, Jimmy, one bath!”
Uncle Silas squinted his eyes and
looked up inquiringly.
“Did you say one bath, young man?”
he i asked innocently. "Why, do peo
ple take baths in this lunch room?”

‘Aw, get out!” exploded the waiter.
'JL bath means a glass of water. If T
was as green as you I'd be worltln’ In

Uncle Silas picked up his hat and
his umbrella and started for the door.
“Where are yer going now?" de
manded the big waiter.
“I am going to get out of the way,”
replied Uncle Silas excitedly. “I
heard you say the omnibus was com
ing, and I was afraid I’d get run over.”
And the old man vanished toward
the street, while the big waiter hand
ed the omnibus a stack of used dishes
and dashed back to get another order.

When our soldiers went to Cuba and
the Philippines, health was the most
important consideration, Willis T.
Morgan, retired Commissary Sergeant
U. S. A., of Rural Route 1, Concord,
N. H., says: “I was two years in Cuba
and two years in the Philippines, and
being subject to colds, I took Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion, which kept me in perfect health.
And now, in New Hampshire, we find
it the best medicine in the world for
coughs, colds, bronchial troubles and
all lung diseases.” Guaranteed at Al

Mr. J. F. Pittman brought to The
Herald office Thursday a curiosity In
the shape of an egg. It was an ordi
nary hen.egg, except that on the small
end of it there was a hard, crustace-
oiis formation in the shape of an aliga-
. The shape of the formation is
exactly like an aligator or lizzard.
Mr. Pittman advanced a theory as to
how the hen came to lay such a mon
strosity, but we dassent tell it.
There is no need worrying along in
discomfort because of a disordered di
gestion. Get a bottle of KODOL FOR
DYSPEPSIA, and see what It will do
for you. Kodol not only digests what
you eat and gives that tired stomach a
needed rest, but is a corrective of the
greatest efficiency. Kodol relieves in
digestion, dyspepsia, palpitation of the
heart, flatulence, and sour stomach.
Kodol will make your stomach young
and healthy again. You will worry
Just In the proportion that your stom
ach worries you. Worry means the
loss of ability to do your best. Worry
is to be avoided at all times. Kodol
will take the worry out of your stom
ach. Sold by Albany Drug Co., Hfls-
