A novel scheme to teac h the north pole haa been devised by Prof. Xiasen of Chicago, whose purpose la to start himself up In a gigantic air-bag and to be blown northward over the Arctic Ice and enow. This huge bag, he thlnka, would roll over a amall cottage, aa an ordinary pneumatic tire rolla over a atone. Say H. N. Bnrnum, who de scribed this odd arrangement In Popu lar Mechanics: "Already an expert mental ball haa been constructed and tried on Lake Michigan. The ball la thirty-two feet long and twenty two- feet In dlumeter. Through the center runs a steel axle which Is held In place by numerous ropes, which radiate out like tiie spoke of a bicycle On the axle a boat la suspended In which the traveler alts. At one end la a window, and at the other end Ib a amall door that will Just admit of the body of a num. A contraction of about six Inches takes 'place every time one goes In or out. On the Inside there la a auction pumq to be used to replace the ulr that escapes and also to supply the necessary fresh air for the existence of the man. "The ball la made of heavy canvas, of a fine texture, the aeams being care fully aewed with silk and the outside treated with eeveral coata of water proof varnish. The ball I have Just de scribed waa built only for experimen tal purposes and short Journeys, The advantage being that it can travel over land and sea with equal ease, can roll over the rugged hills that obstruct the path or float peacefully on the surface of Hie water. The one he intends to construct for his Arctic expedition is to be much larger, being of dimensions one hundred and fifteen feet by seventy feet." Nissen Is quoted as suylng: ''Dur ing most of the three years that Dr. Nanaen has been In the Ice he looked for higher points In the pressure ridges In order to climb them to look for an other ice. He says: "On May 19 I climbed to the top of the highest ham mock I have ever mounted. 1 meas ured roughly and made it out to be about twenty-four feet above the Ice; but aa the latter waa considerably above the surface of the water, the height wna probably thirty feet." "Now give me this balloon filled with air to the pressure of one-half ounce NATURE SPARES .. The Stricksa Rom From Grief. What a fortunate provision of nature It Is, that deprives the rose of mental suffering; for hoar poignant would be ita grief to discover, in the height of its blooming glory, that a canker fed at ita heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance were doomed forever. Nature always spares tha suffering; she la a veritable store-house of pleasing rewards, for those who seek her aid. In the years gone by falling hair and grayness have east a gloom over tha lives of thousands of young women, but thanks to the in vestigations of aelenttsts the true cause of hair destruction is now known to be a germ or parasite that burrows into the hair follicles. Newbro's Herplclde absolutely destroys' this germ, thus permitting the hair to grow as na ture intended. Bold by leading drug gists. Bend 10o. in stamps for sample to una ierpioiae jo., Detroit.

" The cost of these experiments, Mr. Ilraun tells ua, has been borne entirely by Nissen, as has everything else per taining to his Invention. He haa al ready spent about $400 and expects to spend more before he haa gained suf ficient confidence among the people to back him up In hla Arctic expedition. Nissen is said to have refused tempting offers from managers of amusement enterprises, and to 1ms quite In earnest In hla plans. British Vessels Will Load Wheat for the United Kingdom. Balfour, fluthrle & Co. chartered the British ship Langdale yesterday to load wheat at Portland for the United Kingdom, paying the union rate of 27a 6d. The vessel is now In the orient, but Is expected to sail shortly for the Pacific coast. Within the past few days three ships have been engaged at the same figure to load at Portland for European ports, and during the coming week It Is ex pected that the list will be Increased. From the appearance of things the long deadlock has been broken and the ship owners' union la going to win its point. When the owners organized a short time ago and decided to raise rates from 20s to 27s 6d the statement was freely made by those who are In a po sition to keep posted on such matters that the advance was too high to per mit of any vessel being chartered. They prophesied that the union or combine would not hold together and that eventually the owners would be obliged to accept whatever rates they were of fered. The explanation was made that the chartering of ships is like any other line of business, depending solely upon the law of supply and demand. It was also argued that the French ship owners who had taken up with the or ganization Idea would soon become anxloua to earn the bounty which their government allows for every mile of distance their vessels traverse, and rather thun permit them to He idle, they would take whatever rates they could get. The charters which have been effected within the past few days show that these conclusions were ar rived at rather hastily. Had not the price of wheat in Liver pool advanced the exporters contend that It would not have been possible DISEASES for them to have paid such high char ter rates. In eorne quarters It is be lieved that freights will go even higher. The claim of the Tillamook Indians against the government has been al lowed and the Indiana will receive 135 000 some time thla fall or the coming winter. About 30,090 tons of caecara bark have been gathered this season in Ore gon and Washington with the indica tion that prices will be lower as the output Is far beyond the consumption of the article. 8uleida Prevented. The startling announcement that preventive of suicide had been discov ered will interest many, A run-down system, or despondency invariably pre cedes suicide and something haa been found that will prevent that condition which makes ' suicide likely. At the first thought of self-destruction take Electric Bitters. It being a great tonic and nervine will strengthen the nerves and build up the system.

I was afflicted with Tetter in bad shape It would appear in blotches as large as mj hand, a yellowish color, and scale off You can imagine how offensive it was For twelve years I was afflicted with thii trouble. At night it was a case of scratci snd many times no rest at all. Seeing tht good the medicine was doing a fnenc who was taking it for Eczema, I com menced it, and as a result the eruption be ran to dry up and disappear, and to-daj I am practically a well man. Only twe tiny spots are left on the elbow and shin, where once the whole body was affected. I have every confidence in the medicine, and feel sure that in a short time these two remaining spots will disappear. S. S. S. is certainly a great blood puri fier, and has done me a world of good. I am grateful for what it has accom plished, and trust that what I have said ill lead others who are similarly afflict d to take the remedy and obtain tht same good results that I have. 125 East Fifth Ave. John F.
