Wellman'a Map, Showing Frlthjof Nansen Land, Where Andree's Body Was
Found.
trrfr"'d by tie National Geosraphlc

FKUMJuF NANS F.N I.ANP (for
merly Fran Josef Land) has.
after a third of a century, Riven
up the body of August Andree,
relieved to have bivn lost forever In
the Arctic Ice.
Tlic Swedish explorer disappeared
in his balloon In 1 ;", north of Spits
bergen cUe to the place at which
Nobiie's dirigible later disappeared.
Explorers wore at first hopeful that
he had drifted eastward to Fran
Josef Land. Walter Wellman. assist
ed by the National Geographic society,
led an expedition to Franz Josef Land
the following year and thought It like
ly that he would find Andree at Cape
Flora, on one of the southernmost of
'he Islands which was known by An
dree io !e a headquarters and a fre
quent point ot cali fVr JJl''':rSrJr
dree was not at Cnpe Flora, however,
and co trace of hlpi or bis buUoon
was ever found In Frani Josef Land
until a few weeks ago.
Although 'he islanjj nr desolate
aJ '.rl-Ti'iantled and lave never been
Inhabited, It Is possible for men to
eit there, even through the w'n.Vp,
t, il.e history of Arctic exploration
piows. The laitd was discovered ae
ihlei; tally In 17.1 by an Autro-Hun-rlan
expedition bent on findinx ti e
l.orthea-t passage. Their ship. run. -lit
In the he. dr:f:ed to the southern ex
tremity of the Island croup, nnd the
crew wlnvred in her fast In the Ice.

fi ip crushed, wintered on shore, liiln;
.;.rt!y on bear and walrus meat. Well
t::tl and his companions spent the
wint.-r (.f i '-!: on shore, and the
e'::ier i edition wintered over In
r.'l'ie.
Crcup ef Many Island.
Its Austro - Hungarian di-eoverer
l.aitiid tiie land "I'ranz Joef I.aud"
tin'!-r the Impression tint it was a
hie land mass, perhaps even of cun
!:,ental sle. Later ephratinn d:
(IomiI that It Is u group of many Is
lands. Thirty of Ihe-e are ten miles
or more In b ni:th and the remainder
scores f tiiem are small. Seeral
i t the Islands are as much as ZO miles
long. The group lies slightly farther
north than Spitsbergen, and Its center
is as far east of King's bay as New
York Is east of I"'! roit. It Is as far
north of the Murtnan coast of Kus-la
and t lie i.orihern coast of Norway as
Chicago l north of New Orleans. It
Is ubout the same distance from the
North pole.
The land's name was recently
fhaicjetj to Frlibjof Nansen Land by
li ote of the KUNslati Asoeintloii of
S'-h-hcp. Tim l-laiid group's new
lame l appropriate beeiitiM? the Is
lands were the S'ene of one of tlie
tnor-t tlratnatic episodes In the life of
the late Frlthjof Nansen. The land
' whh h has boon named for him literal
iy saved his life and preserved I,) it)
fiT the valuable huinatiir.irinn career
that reached a ilitnax when he, In co
tperation iill Herbert Hoover, saved
the lives of millions of famine strick
en Itusslaiis.
Nansen took a small party on board
the specially constructed vessel I'ratn
Mid ntored the Ice Hoes olT northern
Siberia In lS'.Cl with the hope of drift
ing with the Ice acnes the North pole.
They drifted for it.'i months, locked In
(lie Ice, without sighting land and
without n single contact with the
world. Nansen and Ids crew were
believed to be lo: t.
When Nansen found that the Flam
was not drifting toward the pole, he
determined to dash, with a single com
panion, over the Ice to the top of the
world. Joliansen was picked to go
with liltn. They took three sledges,
ill! dogs and two kayaks (l-.skltno ca
noes). They did not attain their ob
jective, birt they made a new "farthest
north," S! d'grees and 12 mlnules.
Just miles south of the pole. From
their northernniofrt point the two men
1 timed pouth mid begun one of the
longest marches ever made over Arc
tic Ice. Finally they were reduced lu
two !.
After uuuijr liny they reached Eva
i
Island, one of the outlying Islands el
what Is now Frlthjof Nansen Land,
r.nihling a stone hut, they lived on
the Isolated Isle through the winter
subsisting chiefly on bear meat. Next
spring they started south for the main
Islands of the group. Nanscn's kayak
was attacked by a huge walrus that
drove Its tusks through the fragile
craft, but Nansen scrambled out on a !
enke of Ice as the tiny boat tilled with I
water, and they made their way to j
the southern Isiamu! j
There they met, to their great J- y.
Frederick Jackson, leader of an Fug j
Iish expedition. Although Jackson hd
met Nansen years before, he failed,
for the moment, to recognize In the
bearded, block-skinned, sooty-haired
wanderer th famous blond Norwegian
explorer. Ntsen nud Joliansen came
hoai on the English party's whaler;
tha Tram arrived a few days later.
Nansen, who had been given up foi
d'jd, received a tremendous welcome.
The sea between northern Spits
bergen and northern Frlthjof Nansen
I.nnd is usually packed with nn almost
, ... . . i. ; -
Unbroken expanse of Ice so that nivj
cation mmhwnrd Is cj'jotn pos- ti'
LYeti iiiQ iuti!7vr channels between
the Friihjof Nansen Islands. (Ire e(et
nally frozen, but the Inrger channels
become Ice free In summer. Iletween
southern Spitsbergen and the southern
Islands there Is often open water In
summer. Farther south, however, the
i'-e is usually packed, and this tK.tlng
barrier must be traversed by 'hips
steaming from Ha-sia ami Norway to
I'ri:hJ Nan-en Land.
Tc ause of its far tmrthe-n position
and the greater distance the Arctic
arm of the r.u'f stream must ibe.v to
reach it, Frithjof Nation Land Is '
marked by Antic conditions to a
greater extent than Spltsle-rgcn. It
has been called the world's "laost
characteristic polar land." Most of
the islands are plateaus less than
I.mki to. t hi'h. covered with domes
of Ice. At some points the black
basalt crags that form the edges of
the plateaus protrude from the white
b'e and snow. Coastal lowlands urn
of small extent save on two or three
of the westernmost Hands.
Vegetation and Animal Life.
Ti e vegetation of the few snow frei
spots Is scant, consisting only of lich
ens, nioses, and several grasses. The
animal life, too, Is meager for tint
most part, a few polar bears and few
er foxes on land; walruses and seals
In the water. The bird life is the rich
est. Croat (locks of little auks, dove
kles and other birds frequent the Is
lands from March to September.
There are no reindeer or bit res.
One Important hem for castaway t
is the existence of considerable quan
tities of driftwood along the shores
of the Inter-Island channels. This Is
evidently wood cast out Into the Arc
lie ocean by the great northward (low
ing rivers of Siberia such as the Obi
and the Yenisei.
Not only has former Frani Josef
Land become a memorial In Its en
tirety. Ilecause It Is divided, and sub
divided, lido numerous Islands, largo
and small, with numerous channels
and capes and headlands, It has de
manded Innumerable names.
The history of exploration In the Is
lands by men of various nationalities
Is In large part written on the map:
Ibillsh Channel, Alexandra Island,
Harmsworth Straits, Cambridge Jlay,
Vllc7.ck Island, Wnypreeht Sea, Crown
I'rime Iludolf Lund, I'ierpont Morgan
Strait. Vanderbilt Sound, Craliam I'.ell
Island, Whitney Sen. Austrluns, Eng
lish, Americans, Norwegians and Ital
ians have had a hand In seeking out
the secrets of this ley Island group.
One of the latest explorations In
Frlthjof Nansen Fund before the ex
pedition which found Atitlree's bdy
ihls summer was In ID'.'.i by a British
party which carried Into the region
the llrst modern radio equipment. The
party constantly checked Its time by
radio signals from the FIITel tower,
Paris, and listened to music and an
iiouncemeiits from LuuOou and other
stations, '

Dreams
I.Inda could not tear her eyes from
the fascinating hat. Il was the lovll
est hat on the avenue, and she knew
how it would look on her. She heard
what I'.rlan said vaguely.
"I must have It." she cried gully
nd went Into the shop. He followed
It once, but she was already In one o(
the little gray booths before a mirror.
Hid h slim, undulating creature was
wringing the hat, smaller even at close
Iew than It bad been behind- plate
glass.
It was on Linda s dark bead Shi
wore a short fur coat, and her face
tipped the edge of the high Mat mole

rome back, nnd the look of weariness
that had been on her face when I'.rlan
met her was gone. The hat made her
bloom.
"I love It." she said, looking up at
Prlan, and then to the saleswomen.
"JtLlnlj I will wenr jt today and you

ihere was un embarrassing moment

toward the tall good looking young
man who had come in with Mrs. Itotb.

perhaps you had bettcY see tiiiidame."
"There Is nothing else." said Linda
tranquilly, ami left the shop.
She was exquisite onder her new
crown ol pale Jade, but I'.rlan was
looking at her face, pale again, with
Hps a little breathless. Something tin )
tieen wrong In the shop, but he could
not grasp the exact meaning of the
little scene. It was ridiculous, but It
was almost as If the woman had O' t
wanted to sell the hat to Linda.
Linda was glad to get away from
the shop. She bad been afraid for a
moment, but luckily the saleswottiai
had been a stupid person. Her ac
count was large, but she would send
them a check for something as soon as
her own money cume from Steven,
i'.y this time she was almost aggrieved
at the broker, as If he had been keep
Ing her Income from her purposely.
"You look so solemn," she cried
meeting lirlan's troubled eyes, "I don't
believe you like my new hat after all
Why didn't you tell me It was untie
coming?"
This was so artlllclal that they both
laughed, and the unpleasant moment
was forgotten.
"I wonder why I feel so Irrespon
slide when I am with you?" Linda
asked. Though she was so tall Mel
slight, their ejes were not nearly on
a level and she had to look up at him.
This gave her a peculiarly appealing
expression.
"If that Is so, I will keep you away
from the shops that sell diamonds." be
unswered. He was happy In spile of
bis gravity. A queer rushing happi
ness that made everything seem
chaotic. The people on the avenue,
the shops, the countless automobiles
were nothing but shadows to him. Ills
vision was tilled with Linda, a strange
woman he seemed to have known al
ways and far better than any one else
In the worhl Yet he realized he knew
nothing about her.
"Who was the charming girl you
danced with Inst night?" she ques
tloued. There was a tiny note ol
Jealousy In her voice. They had been
dancing together when she left the
restaurant with the senator.
F.rlan hesitated. "An old friend of
mine, Halsy Fentress."
Linda had heard of the Fen tresses.
So had everybody else. They were
rich enough to have their names In
the paper every day and that Is sotne
thing to be rich without being notorl
ous Is an achievement, and the Fen
tresses were Impeccable. She knew
that Simon Kent res, who had most ol
the money, was a secret power In
Washington; Converse hud often
spoken of him with envy, foi tils own
wealth wus a Utile thing In compar!
son. The memory of the young girl
face, blond, Inexperienced, with every
thing to give, sent a little shiver ol
unlD to her heart
"The heiress?" she said dully. "Yes,
I know,"
"She doesn't like to be called an
heiress," explained llrlait, "ami she's
a wonderful old pal. Ft like you to
meet her some lime."
I.Inda made a wry face unseen bj
him, "(ilrls bore me," she said Indif
ferently. "Palsy wouldn't," he blundered
"She's an Innocent child you'd be
amused by her old faahltuied notions.
She's very much against"
Linda recovered herself, lie had
said something about a decision.
"You wanted my opinion about some
thing." she said softly. "I'm afraid It
will be terribly worldly, hut I am like
that, you know," Her eyes challenged
him to discover anything old fashioned
ubout her.
Ills face lighted. "Pld you remem
ber that I said that I Are you sure
I won't bore you talking about my

"I Mb n 'n't be bored."
"Well, then, If you care enough to
bother." Ills clear, eager eyes aoughl
and found hers, holding them In spite
of a hundred stranger eyes that might
have been watching.
She did cure enough. She cared
enough lo listen to anything he hud in

dreamed.

Carbon monoxide polrotilng Is one
of the greatest dangers of modern
life. The gas, given off by almost
nil forms of combustion, has no smell

two symptoms have bii-n noted which
may be valuable.
First, there may be a slight swell

teries which one can feel beating In
the temples: second, there Is often a
slight weakness of the muscles In the

In treating a case the victim should
