Tho Fathorland cherishes the confident hope that tne laurels ot the arctic, for which gallant men ot all nations hare struggled and died, will itnally tall to the conqueror ot tho air. The Kaiser takes an Intense per soual Interest In aerolcgtcal research, a branch of science In which great things are expected from the Zcppelln-HerKtsell expedition. The expedition Is to be conducted under tho personal supervision ot Count Zeppelin and his meteorological expert. Trot. Ton Hergcsoll, the cele brated Strasburg aerologtst. The Count has been rebuffed so long by heart less futo and Trot. Ton Ilergesell Is so conserratlTo a scientist that they disclaim any official Intention of attempting to And the pole. They aver that their expedition Is designed exclusively to "Investigate the unknown regions ot the arctic" and to make a series of scientific explorations and measurements In the polar latitudes. That la a sufficiently ample program, however, to comprehend the finding ot the pole which everybody In the know understands full well Is the real obejctlve ot the expedition. The SOOmllo route from Cross Day over Spitsbergen to the pole Is easily within the radius of action of Zeppelin's airships. Zeppelin II. accom plished a considerably greater task In Its famous Whitsuntide voyago across Germany six weeks ago. The reaching ot the pole will depend wholly upon the strength ot the wind, As Zeppelin's ships, however, have amply demon strated their ability to resist the wind, the Zeppelln-Herxesell expedition will proceed under Incomparably more favorable conditions than any of their predecessors In search of the pole. Andree, for example, was com pelled to adhere to certain wind directions. He was driven from his course and undoubtedly drowned. The new expedition will certainly have to reckon with storms lu the arctic regions, but cllmatlo perils will not threaten It In summer The snow danger Is also unimportant, but the rays ot the sun will provide difficulties, for the sun Is constantly In the heavens and In the pure atmosphore throws off rays ot stupendous degree. In the unexplored polar districts landings from airships will be possible only on Ice floes, which are, however, ndniir ably suited for the purpose. Tho reascent from these floes Is purely a bal loon engineering problem. Kog. that arch enemy of the aeronaut In all latitude, Is a frequent phenomenon In the polar regions In the summer, Nansen, during his three years' voyage In the Kram, found an average ot twenty foggy days In July and sixteen In August. On the other hand, the polar fog Is never so thick, but It leaves the surface ot the Ice visible from an airship, and Is therefore an obstacle that causes Count Zeppelin and l'rof llrgvsell few qualms, A technical difficulty ot considerably greater seriousness lies In the fact that the Ordinary astronomical equipment, to speak only of the magnet In the mariner's compass, becomes absolutely useless In the neighborhood of the pole This will make It necessary, as Wellman discovered, for the airship voyage to be carried out only a short distance above the ground, so that some sort ot control may be kept by simple observation ot the direction and speed ot the flight.

Many as have been the disastrous failures among marriages between rich American girls and European men ot title, none has been a c c o mpanlcd by more mental and physical m I . e r y than that ot Elea nor Patterson, of Chicago, and Count Otzyckl, ot Russian Poland. The shat tered romance be gan six years ago. Eleanor Patterson was the educated and sweet-faced daughter ot Robert W Patterson, pub lisher of the Chica go Tribune, and a sister ot Joseph Me dia Patterson, a TOtinr mllllonalrn OT"tM 01Z1CCKI widely known for Ills socialistic views. In 1903 she was in St. Petersburg on a visit to ber un cle, Robert S. McCorrolck, then ambas sador from the United States to Rus sia. There she met Count Oizyckl, a man twice her age, with a reputation as spendthrift and rake. The following year Count Qlzyckl came to Washington and renewed his acquaintance with Miss Patterson. Ills wooing was fast and furious and the slrl was carried away by his polished manner and the glitter ot his title. Despite all objection. In two weeks she married him. Her mother settled 120, 00 a year upon her and she and the count went to Vienna. Then the trou Me began. The count's extravagance nnd gambllns 'habits at the Austrian capital plunged him deeper In debt than before, and because of his dissi pations ho becamo the mock of Eu rope. In March, 190?. came the crisis. The countess Used-her husband with his wild habits and the nobleman knocked tier down with his fist. They separat ed and she went to London with her baby, the Countess Felicia, beginning an action for divorce In Paris, a suit which ultimately she won. In April, 1908, In connection with her suit, s&e crossed from London to Paris, leav ing the baby countess In charge of a nurse Just outside the Drltlsh capital. In the hope of stopping tho suit for divorce and of forcing more money from bis wife, the count made a rush trip to England, stole the baby and carried her to Vienna, where he se creted her In one of his castles Just outside the city. The countess was frantic over the loss of the child and employed detectives by the score to trace the baby. Once Felicia was lo cated the authorities Interposed so many barriers against the mother that the count had ample time to carry the little countess to a castle near SU Pe tersburg. Meanwhile Joseph Medlll McCormlck and another member ot the Patterson and McCormlck families were bringing every Influence to bear on the courts -of France and Russia to recover Fe licia legally. It was not until a secret compact, which never has been clearly explained, was entered Into with the Csar, mainly through the work ot for tser Ambassador McCormlck. that an NOTED W Glim AW HIM MMm fOMS l--A V-A-V. - SS M ANY nntlve and foreign critics of American civilisation have deplored tho spendthrift tendencies ot a certain class ot Amer ican women, with little dwelling on the reverse side of the picture the quiet, unoitentatlous giving away of millions of dollars annually by phllanthroplcally-lncllned members ot the sox. Foremost among the gifts made by women m tho United BtntiM Is tho endowment of Lelond Stanford, Jr.. University with S30.000.000 by Mrs. Lrland Stanford. This Institution was started In 1835, In mem ory of the only child ot Mr. and Mrs. Stanford, by Mr. Stanford. His will gave tho university J 2,500.000, and the $30,000,000 gift ot his widow disposed ot nearly the whole rcslduo ot tho estate. Mrs. Russell Sage probably Is the most prominent of living women philanthropists. She Is disposing of the JC3.000.000 that her husband acquired In fifty years at tho rate of about J8.000.000 n year. The Russell Sngo Foun- Troao. datlon, with an endowment of 110,000,000, is the largest single charity In the world. It Is Insured an annual income of about $100,000. Its work. In the words of Mrs. Sage's deed of gift, will be "to eradicate as far as possible the causes of poverty and Ignorance, rather than to relievo the sufferings ot those who nre poor and Ignorant" Miss Helen Gould's gifts likewise have been widely dis tributed She has spent morn than $10,000,000 of the fortune left her by Jay Oould. her father. Perhaps no methods of moneymaklng have been more widely con demned than those ot Jay Gould, but his daughter has shown how great blessings can como from the wise use of money. She has endowed schools and churches nnd has given largely for relief and aid work nmotig the sol diers and sailors of the United States army and navy. Mrs. Oliver II. P. Belmont, the first wife of William K. Vandcrbllt, gave $100,000 to the Nassau Hospital at Mlneota, L. I. Bbe has been actively Interested In diet kitchens for tho pcor of Now York. Mrs. Ilctmont Mas. sack. Intends, It Is said, to spend part In advancing the cause of woman suffrage, to which sho recently became a convert. Her daughter, the Duchess of Marlborough, formerly Consuelo Vanderbllt, Is also known for her philanthropies among the London poor Miss Olulln Moroslnl, daughter and heiress of the fa mous banker who passed away about a year ago, spends large sums In aiding children In New York, especially at Christmas time. Sho gives largely also to charitable Institutions. Mrs. Harold F. McCormlck of Chicago, formerly Miss Edith Rockefeller, had much to do with the direction of the charitable work done by her father, John O. Rockefeller, before sho was raarrjed, and is said to spend largely, though quietly, now In aid of many charities. There are countless others, less conspicuous than those named, whose spirit of giving Is manifested In widely varying forms, all testifying to tho American woman's appreciation of the fact that money Is most profitably spent when used for tho benefit ot others. rEASAI.'T AND THE DIAMOND.

Imperial decree compelled the count to give up the custody of tho girl. After recovering her daughter the countess hurried to Cherbourg and sailed for New York City. From New York the party hurried on to Chicago, where tne Countess Oizyckl and the little Coun tess Felicia will reside In future, pleased to have escaped from tho tolls of a nobleman lost to all sense of de cency. Muir o Mnbe n I'nnner, The foundation-stone of a nation's success Is revealed- In an article In AH Ireland Review. A friend of the author was In Denmark, and was as tonlshed at the amount of wealth got out of so poor a country by dairies and by farming. "No doubt," said he to a well-edu cated Dane, "tho children uro Instruct ed In the schools as to dairying and farming." "They are not," said the Dane, "but they are taught the old Danish poems (sagas) In tho schools. That makes good Danes of tho children, and then thoy become good farmers." V to Ilnte.

Having no capital save his muscles, he asked leave to dig, on shares, a claim on the Vaal River with which one prospector after another had become discouraged Antolne got a Kaffir boy to help. The yield was pitiful. Ho asked tho boy to stop work ln the center and try the side. When tho boy did not understand Antolne Impatiently drove his own pick In the place denlgnated. Suddenly (says one who knew him on that day) he wns spellbound at sight of a large stone a diamond. For some moments he could not move and could not speak. He feared It was an Illusion, like the mirage of water which appears to men long athlrst. He expected It to vanish If he winked an eyelnsh. Collecting his energien. he darted forward and clutched the stone. Such was the tumult within him that for two days he was unable to eat or do anything but laugh and cry!"

Tho Indiana station found that tho tMMt results were obtained by planting mkhI In May It has been shuwn that the greatest average yield ot both ears and stocks have been ot tnlncl when tho stalks stood about twelve or fourteen Inehen njwrt In tho rows. Thick Planting, hnwnver. re duces the site of the ears, nnd tho jwr rentage of grain, but thick planting has, In dry seasons, produced the heaviest yield ot stalks and the high est yield of ears. So fnr ns depth of cultivation Is concerned, the yields, when corn was cultivated one, two and three Inches, have been equal. In continuous corn culture heavy appli cations of fn-sh horse manure have not been profitable, but the effect of a very heavy application of manure has boen noticed for many years. There does not seem lo be much differ ence In yields duo to any particular Implement used, while hill and drill plnnllngs of corn have produced the samo average yields. Tho "cheeking" of corn Is still tho most popular and profitable mode of growing the corn at the least cost of labor.
