Berr Julius von Payer, of Vienna, an experienced' explorer who was ont of the leaders in the discovery of Franz Josef Land, thinks Andree may yet re turn via that country, although he is not very sanguine His theory is that Andree, after leaving Spitzbergen, ma have fallen into a strong air current which carried the balloon for several days toward the- northeast,, and then drove it in. a southeasterly direction. That, he believes would bring them to the east coast of Franz Josef Land. From that, place the little party would have, to -make its way over dangerous ice not always continuous, and with open &ea in places, to the coast of Si beria. But even when they arrived there if, indeed, they na ve been so f or- tunate their work would not be near ly over. It is still a long and difficult journey to reach the more inhabited parts; so that Herr yon Payer thinks there is not the least chance of the adventurers, supposing them to be alive, being heard of before next au tumn. Obviously, the route which he suggests as possible involves many grave contingencies.! The evidence, however, in favor of the supposed path of the balloon is of the slightest character. . It may not have taken that return course towar-.l the southeast, and, in any case, the Franz Joset group of islands is not so large- that an unmanageable apparatus like a- balloon might not- easily miss them all. If it did, and particularly if it were-involved in those variable drifts of which Nansen had experience, it might float about until from exhaus tion of its gas it settled down upon the sea. In this case, we think, the ex plorer' chance of reaching lan 3. though they had endeavored' to pro vide for this contingency, would not be. worth very much. Even if they have alighted on firm ground, and have saved their weapons and a fair supply of amr munition and without these they would have little- hope of imitating iNansen and surviving a winter in. Franz Josef Land there would still remain the journey to Siberia. Possibly, how ever, they would try for Spitzbergen, as Nansen would have done if he had not fallen in with the Jackson-Harm's- worth,' party. But a . second winter. with the imperfect appliances of xn- dree's expedition, would be a most for midable trial, unless they could man age to reach the horna from which they started in July, 1897, cr some other well-provisioned shelter elsewhere. That they should succeed in this or fall in with some tribe of Siberian na tives before the present winter has fully set in seems the one remaining hope. At present, no doubt, it would still be premature to call them lost, But we are inclined to share IJerr von Payer's opinion that until some one has succeeded in constructing . a balloon which can be steered like a ship the plan adopted by Andree is about the most desperate we--had almost said suicidal method of undertaking polar exploration yet devised.

To hold-down to a lecture platform a ight. ironi object by means of an elec-jro-magnet underneath, out of sight, ind thus appear to multiply its weight nany times over at. will to make it m possible even to lift the object in, j u est ion, providing- the magnet be pow erful enough is an old con jurer's trick which has served on many occasions to mystify the public, says Cassier's Maga zine. Its principle, however, has been ap plied to several more useful purposes, and one of these, of recent date, is em bodied in a magnetic chuck for mis cellaneous work, for surface grinding, principally, but adapted also for the planer or the lathe. The magnetic effect in this chuck is produced by an electro current circulat ing In a coil in the interior of the de vice, and, as this coil is wound, pref erably, for '110 volts, the needed cur rent can be taken from any regular electric lighting main in or about a shop. The coBenience of the device, especially for small work, is obvious. A magnetic holder for an" electric incandescent lamp is another electric shop convenience. The holder is sim ply a lamp socket containing a small electric magnet, which will make the whole contrivance stick to any piece of iron or steel with which it may be brought in contact. The coil through which the magnet is energized is within the base of the holder, and the lamp current supply ing the energy passes through it on its way to the lamp. THE PLATFORM WOMAN. Thla Noted Author Says She Bu Eves Been a. Blot Upon American Womanhood. The platform woman Dever has been a credit to, but ever a blot upon, Amer ican womanhood. I make this emphat ic statement from a personal knowl edge of the homes which these women leave behind when they 'go to their meetings, writes Edward Bok, in La dies Home Journal. I have seen the rooms of their homes left in wild dis order; I have seen their servants sit ting in idleness with work on every hand to do; I have seen the children neglected and left to their own devices; 1 have heard husbands speakin derison of the motives of their wives. No wom an in a happy American home can ever afford to listen to these parasites oi her sex. Fortunately, the platform woman's influence is steadily on the wane. She was never a power. She was never even picturesque. Her worst in jury was 'wrought upon certain weak women who-for the time she deluded. But even with them' she was soonJlFe garded with wonder rather than with interest; with suspicion rather than with confidence. Less and less has she been able to get listeners, and it is sig nificant that in places where the has spoken during the present season she has not been seen again. The disap pearance of the platform woman is a case of a blot being blotted out. TOOK HIS WIFE'S ADVICE. Bat the Ingenious Woman Did Hoi Know Where a Man Should Carry Bla Money. When the man whose haircut showed that his wife had peculiar notions as to the way a man should dress his hair quit giving advice, one of the listeners said, reports the New York Sun: "No man has more respect for a wom an than I have, but I shall never take the advice of my wife again about money matters. She insisted upon my hiding my salary, so if I should be held up the highwaymen wouldn't get it.'' I draw my stipend at 6ix p. m., and it is quite dark before I get home. She is a good hider in the house, but her talent in that line stops there. Now, she had the brilliant idea that I should put the envelope containing my money under the sweat band of my hat. Highway men would never look there, and would never rob a man of his hat. After she had made this suggestion about 40 times I accepted it. I went home as usual on the elevated. I had a slight attack of vertigo in the ear, and the man who always knows what to do said I needed fresh air, add threw up the window. In doing so he knocked off . . I went home bareheaded and VOGT OPERA HOUSE ALL THIS WEEK OBLE BKASATIC CO, Solo Band and Operatic Orchestra. WHAT THE "The Noble Company is the best visiting Tickets,. NOTICE.
