puttering Report Upon the Property .! the
Qiiipas PiutUtkM and Investment Co.
The report of the committee of busi
ness men sent to Mexico to investigate
the property of the Chiapas Rubber
Plantation and Investment Company
has just been made pnblio. The docu
ment is an interesting one and gives
valuable data concerning the enterprise
conducted hi the compuiy named.
The property of the company consists
of a plantation of 34.000 acres of the
choicest rubber land of Mexico, upon
which over TOO. 000 vioroas young
irnbber trees now thrive. On the plan
tation also are numerous mahogany
tees, some of which are of pi editions
fro win. thus demonstrating the rich
oess of the soil. The property is lo
cated in the department 01 Palenque,
trate of Chiapas, and it is unquestion
ably adapted to the productions of rub
ber and the growth of hardwood timber
trees of great variety.

in their fifth year, and may be safely
tapped the year following. Nurseries
have been established lor tne propa
gation of rubber trees, and all are
thriving. A large force of men are
employed in building roads, planting
trees and developing the property.
Managing Director J. W. Ellsworth i
now on the property, and his careful
attention to the flairs of the company
has received the marmest commenda
tion of the directorate. The committee
pronounces the proposition of the Chi

ment Company to produce rubber for
sale by cultivating the trees in large
numbers as a feasible and practicable
enterprise. The only trouble thus far
encountered has been the scarcity of
labor, bat plana for overcoming this

It is now nearly four years since S. A.
Andree, the Swedish aeronaut, in his
balloon rose In air on Amsterdam isl
and and confidently set out for the
north pole. To him was attracted at
once the hopeful and the anxious notice
of both the scientific and the unscien

tific in every country.
.,ni.,rriiv .Lirinir attempt ever con
ceived of In aeronautics and It abso
lutely eclipsed all previous enterprises
conducted in ships and looking to the
discovery of the north pole.
Mr Andree had been known as an aer
onaut' for twenty years, but he was
somethius more than tbat. He was a
theoretical mechanic, whose theories
were believed to be more sound than
anv other niau's In Sweden. He was
Indeed more than a theorist he had
accurate knowledge of the practical
arts and inventions of bis time. So
well were his knowledge and abilities
known that the Swedish government
appointed him chief engineer of the

strongly predlsiwsed a large part of
that public to believe that he would be
successful In his surpassing aeronautic
undertaking. Nor was the Idea of cross
ins 'o the pole in a balloon a new one.
DEPARTURE OF
It was of French origin and first con--elvd
by SlveU who In 1S73 laid his
project before the French Society of
Aerial Navigation. But S:ve! lost his
life soon afterward in the accident to
the balloon Zenith. The project lay la
abeyance until 10. when It was taken
up again by two Paris aus Herm te
and Besancon who submitted a plan
that was carefully and scientifically
thought out to the mlnntest detail, but
the means could not be raised to carry
tne plan Into even experimental effect.
Mr. Andree. however, carefully exam-
ned It ar.d compared bis own with It
ind studied the design for the balloon
that was not built.
I"roud!y and majestically the balloon
ose and Andree gazed with happy con
.ldence on those who remained behind,
and then he and his comrades, waving
their caps, be cried out, -Greetings at
home to Sweden."
To Communicate with the World.
Andree. when he started on his bal
loon voyage on July 11. in;7. took with
him twelve dispatch buoys, each con
taining a sphere of cork twenty centi
meters in diameter, coated with a thick
coat of paint, partly blue and partly
yellow. At the upper portion was a
eopier stopper Inscribed witu the
words. "Andree's Polar Expedition.
li." and a number. This stopper
closed a cavity cut In the cork, to re
ceive a tube In which documents or
messages from the explorers were to
he Inclosed. The buoys were to be
thrown out at different points of the
voyage of the balloon. A thirteenth
larger than the others, was to be left
at that point of the route that should be
nearest to the geographical pole tbat
could be reached by the balloon.
The explorer also took with him thir
ty-two carrier pigeons. Some were ex
pected to return to Dane's Island,
where they had stayed for more than
a month, but It was feared they would
never return to Sweden, as from Spltz
bergen alone they would have had to
travel n distance of nearly 2,'iOU kilo-
meters in ordi-r to find their dove cote.
From the pole to Sweden would be
3.S00 meters. Such a distance has, as
far as Is known, never been traversed
by carrier pigeons. After these means
of conveying messages had been ex
hausted Andree would naturally have
recourse to the familiar method of In
closure In bottles.
Three days after starting a seal hunt
er to the west of Phlpps Island, north
of Spltzbergen, killed a carrier pigeon
which had come from Andree's balloon.
From the pigeon this uiessnge was
takcu:
July 13 12:30 o'clock noon. latitude
S2 degrees 2 minutes, longitude Id de
grees & minutes east. Good speed to
ward the east; ten degrees to south.
AH well on board. This ! the third
pigeon tbat we have sent out.
ANDREE.
This dispatch Indicated that the bal
loon had only t-aveled a fifth of the
distance separating Spltzbergen. from
the pole, and that It was no longer go
ing toward the north, but toward the
east.
About July 22 of that year It was
learned from the captain of a vessel
that one of the crew had shot a pigeon
between North Cape and-Seven Islands,
on the north coast of Lapland, bearing
a message addressed to tne Aftenbla
det. Stockholm. It read:
Eighty-two degrees passed. Good
Journey. Northward. ANDREE.
From Kasnovarsk, whence a dispatch
stated that on Sept. 14 at 11 o'clock at
night, people In the village of Antzl
flrowskoje. In the district of Yeneseisk,
saw the Andree balloon for five mln-
utes.
It Is certain that Mr. Andree did not
.take sufficiently Into account all the
meteorological conditions. But at least
four learned professors did take them
into view on their comments at the
time on Xtr. Andree's daring venture.
Professor Bexold held that as the winds
at the pole cross one another a direct
passage could not be hoped for. He
argued that the distance the aeronaut
must travel would be extended from
3.400 kilometers (the distance In a di
rect line from Spltzbergen across the
polar region) to from 12.000 to 20,000
kilometers, and that the balloon could
not possibly keep afloat long enough for
that. But should this cot prove true,
the professor continued, be thought tt
very possible that Andree might sail
over the polar regions without knowing
It, since it is precisely In that part
THE EAGLE.
where the usual methods of navigation
are likely to be faulty and dlfflculty
would be experienced In determining
one's whereabouts. These difficulties.
b pointed out. consist not In the ab
sence of the mesns of help afforded by
the stars, but also In the fact tbat the
midnight sun, even if It be not veiled
for hours and days In a: 1st. alters Its
altitude so little that the exact moment
of noon, so Important for taking obser
vations, cannot be determined. The
rapid changes of longitude, moreover,
which the balloon must make would
render the operation of observation ad
ditionally difficult. Even should An
dree succeed In crossing the pole, an
extraordinary concatenation "of favor
able circumstances would. In Professor
Berson's opinion, be necessary to ren
der a safe landing possible.
Professor Neumayer, of the admlral
:y office, did not agree with those who
regarded Andree's venture as a pure
set of suicide, but be emphasized the
Impossibility of prognosticating In any
degree the direction the balloon
would follow. Though not r:iy!n?
tbat the voyage might be scientifically
useful, he failed to see bow Andree
could make the necessary meteorolog
ical observations at the time he should
believe himself to be crossing the pole.
Tedious Waitlne for News,
Definite news was expected to be re
ceived of Andree before he bad been
many days out. for. as has been stated,
be was prepared with supposedly relia
ble means of communicating with the
lower world, but days passed and no
news came. A mourn elapsed and still
no news of him out of which anything
much could be made. Then Andree's
friends and the scientists and the pub
lic began to feel great anxiety. Six
weeks elapsed and as nothing was
heard of the aeronaut that could be
credited, an expedition was sent out by
the Swedish Geographical and An
thropological Society In search of An-
PROI1AI1I.K FATE Or ANIIRK1
dree. This expedition renched the
neighborhood of the Lena delta, where
a most perilous portion of the Journey
lay before them. There they built a
boat and lu the necessarily frail craft
crossed the open sea to the mouth of
the Olenck and thence proleeded to the
new Siberian Islands, where. It was be
lieved, traces of the Andree expedition
might be found. But no traces were
found and the searchers made thlr
way back to Sweden as best they could.
Since then the search has In various
ways been continued, but all without
avail.
Imagined or faked reports of An
dree's safety and exact whereabouts
have from time to time been sent over
the world, whose effect has been to
keep alive In many people the hope that
he may yet be found alive. But the
opinion of the most Is that be was lost
but a few hours or possibly days after
his floating away from the sight of his
friends, and yet If such were the fact
it would seem strange that some Indis
putable evidence was not long ago dis
covered. But It la not so strange that
no evidence of the disaster has been
discovered, as would be Andree's sur
vival after all these years In the polat
region. And now again men of science
and meteorological observation are go
ing over the known facts and so long
after the almost certain catastrophe are
able satisfactorily to themselves to es
tablish that Andree was Ignorant or
dlsregardful of meteorological condi
tions and that he was more foolhardy
than any of his predecessors had been.
And this appears to be true enough.
SOUVENIR OF A TRAGEDY.
Lorarnette Presented to m Senator's
Wife by Booth.
The daughter of a United States Sen
ator has a lorgnette which was pre
sented to her mother by J. Wilkes
Booth. The story, which Is now print
ed for the first time. Is as follows:
Booth rented a room the night before
the assassination In the Washington
Hotel, where Henry Clay died. The
house was crowded with guests, and
the corridors after dinner were filled
with women of note and beauty. Booth,
who waa fond of admiration, commin
gled with the assemblage, and was pre
sented to many. He carried a hand
somely mounted lorgnette which a Sen
ator's wife complimented. She knew
the Booth family, Edwin Booth having
been a guest at her home. This fact
waa sufficient warrant for J. Wilkes
Booth to be unusually gracious, and
when the Senator's wife admired the
actor's lorgnette be begged the favor of
presenting It to her. The following
night occurred the tragedy. In the pre
liminary investigation which followed
the Senator's wife and another woman
who waa with her the evening she met
Booth were subjected to a most rigid
Inquiry as to Booth's manner.
The daughter of the Senator's wife,
now a prominent society woman of ber
home, tells this story In connection
with the Investigation:
"My poor mother waa questioned and
croaa-questioDed by a lawyer and a de
tective touching her meeting with
Booth. But she was unable to give
them any Information concerning
Booth's manner except tbat he waa gal
lant. Hard as they tried to learn any
thing from her, she could remember
nothing showing that Booth contem
plated crime, nothing Indicating that he
ever thought of such a thing. He wss
In a Jovial mood and spoke of some fu
ture events with confidence. I do not
think my mother ever quite recovered
from the effects of the incident. She
kept the lorgnette for some years, never
using It. however, and ntly she pre
sented It to me. I am not supersti
tious, but I bave never yet tried to ue
this lorgnette that something unusual
did not occur. The first night I carried

us late In arriving at the theater, and
when we got there we found the play

Five cents a day is the cost of living
among the Ilusklnltes, or members of
the socialist colony, which, after be
coming somewhat famous In Tennes
see, was transported to a site near
Wnycross. Ga., where It now flourishes.
Co-operation Is the secret of these re
markable economic conditions. By
combining exercising thrift, discre
tion and a good deal of self-denial the
5 cents daily expended purchases
enough to keep each Kuskinlte robust
and cheerful. The bill of fare that
results Is by no means palate-tickling,
but It Is adequate and hygienic, and
the Kusklultes say they like it. Any
one might, living in the open air and
exercising vigorously. In any case,
they are proud of having demonstrated
something. They are living on the
lowest dally expenditure tbat Is possi
ble, and that Is a triumph of a sort.
Here Is an outline of the fashion In
which this economic miracle Is accom
plished: All xirovlslons are Iniught at whole
sale and In large quantities. They are
then cooked In the community kitchen
and cooked, of course, by the colonists.
Soclnllsts do not employ servants.
When, cooked the food Is served in the
community dining room, where tables
are set for 300 persons.
Vegetables are the chief article of the
Kuskinlte diet, and as they are raised
by the community Itself they are abun
dant and cheap. In seasons when few
er vegetables are produced the da.'ly
cost of living Is Increased from 3 to 7
cents.
