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?” WHOLESALE / CANCELLATION Of Insurance Policies Covering Staten Island Warehouses.

If T was as green as you I'd be worltln’ In de City Hall, See? Omnibus!” 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. Following the Flag. 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 bany Drug Co. Prices, 50c and $1.00.

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.
