t TJIR CITIZKN, FRIDAY, JANUAHV 21, 1010. REPORTS TRACE OF ANDREEJ ARCTIC Missionary Tells of Eskimo Tribe Which Had Rope and Instruments SAY THE EXPLORERS STARVED Another Story It that Andree Party was Killed In Fight and Balloon Belied Came Out of the Sky In a "White House." Winnipeg, Man. Bishop Pascal, who has charge of the Diocese of Prince Albert, which embraces the sub-Arctic country to the north of that city, brings back with him a story of the finding of traces of the balloon In which S. A. Andrce, the Swedish explorer, attempted to drift across to the North Pole. One of his missionaries reported to him that while working among the Eskimos of the Arctic region ho mot a tribe which had some of the plundor of the party with thom. These na tives had In their possession a quanti ty of rope of a quality which they could not get In barter from the ships which enter the Arctic sea. When questioned the Eskimos told that many years before they had come across two white men who came down out of the sky In a "white house." These men had aftorward starved to death and the natives had seized upon the balloon, the cordage of which they converted to their own uses. Bishop Pascal Instructed the missionary to return and get further details. This Is the second story of this kind which has come out of the frozen north. A Hudson Bay factor has the same report in a somewhat different form. His story Is confirmed from the London office of the company, where it was sent in official dis patches. According to the factor, an Indian arrived at his post on the up per Churchill In 1900 from an extend ed trapping and trading trip along the borders of the Arctic ocean in North ern Canada. The Indian told of hav ing met a party of Eskimos who had with them a number of brass insiru ments of different shapes, a quantity of metal fittings, which they had util ized in making hunting gear; several cooking utensils and much cordage and fine waterproof cloth. He had en tered Into communication with thom and learned something of where thej got their strange treasures. Several years before they had been hunting on one of the islands of the Arctic Ocean, and one day they be held a peculiar apparition in the sky. It resembled a huge "oomiak," or woman's boat. When it finally landed three men stepped out. They started to approach the natives, who were in a state of terror and made a hostile demonstration. One of the white men fired a gun and a fight followed, in which the natives were victorious, killing all three of the wanderers. The Eskimos stated to the Indian that they had not intended killing the three white men, but that in their terror they made signals for them not to approach. One of the whites, not understanding, took these signals as a sign of hostility and opened fire. FISH EATS OFF OWNER'S HAND. Pickerel Trained to Perform a Num ber of Aquatic Tricks. Superior, Wis. Police Sergeant O'Brien has at his home a large aquarium In which he has a pickerel a foot and a half long that Is said to have been taught, among other things, to eat out of the hand, to jump through hoops and to do other tricks.

TISIl THAT IS XOT AFUAID. Tike Parted nt n Stan's Hand An other Hit ii Fisherman's Arm. The boldness of a pike Is very ex traordinary, writes an angler. I havo seen one follow a halt within a foot of the spot where I havo been standing; and tho head kcopor of Richmond Park, England, assured mc that ho was once washing his hand at tho side of a boat In' tho great pond In that park when a pike made a dart at it and he had but Just time to withdraw it. A gentleman now residing at Woy b rid go In Surrey informed mo that walking one day by the sldo of the IUvor Woy near that town hd saw a large pike In a shallow creek. He immediately pulled off his coat, tuck ed his shirt sleeves and went Into tho wator to Intercept the return of the fish to tho river and to endeavor to throw it upon tho bank by get ting his hands under it. During this attempt the plko, find ing he could not make his escape, seized one of the arms of the gcntlo man and lacerated It so much that the wound is still very visible. Random Shots. I shot an arrow into the air, it fell In the distance, I knew not where, till a neighbor said that It killed his calf, and I had to pay him six and a half (JC.50). I bought some poison to slay some rats, and a neighbor swore it killed his cats; and, rather than argue across tho fence, I paid him for Joliars and fifty cents ($4.50). One night I set sailing a toy balloon, and hoped it would soar till it reached the moon; but the candle fell out on a farmer's Btraw, and he said I must settle or go to law. And that Is the way with the random shot; it never hits In tho proper spot; and tho Joke you spring, that you think so smart, may leave a wound In some fellow's heart. Em poria (Kan.) Gazette, Where the "Good 1nns" Were. One of the mottoes which, though good, are rarely applied, is "A place for everything and evorything.in Its place." A writer In tho Dundee Ad vertiser tells of a London cab-driver who seemed to think that affairs were ordered after this pattern. As ho sung down the Strand, an Ameri can sitting beside him asked him to point out the spots of interest. "Right you are, sir!" agreed the driver, touching his hat. "There's Luggit 'ill, where they 'ang "em." A little later, "There's Parliament 'ouses, where thoy make the laws wot does It, across the way. An' thero's Westminster Habbey, where they burled tho good 'uns wot didn't get 'anged!" One TliinR He Could Not Have. Although there was no sort of toy which could be bought and for which Harold had expressed a desire that was not in his possessions, he still had his unsatisfied longings. "I know what I wish 1 was, mother," he said one day, when his ownbig brother had gone away and the lit tle boy across the street was ill. "Yes, dear," said his mother. "Perhaps you can be it, Harold; mother will help you. Is it to play soldier?" "No, indeed!" asld Harold, scorn fully. "I Just wish I was two little dogs, so I could play together." Important Personage. A King's coachman Is a personage of no small importance. Certainly tho coachman to her late Majesty Queen Victoria had a befitting sense of the dignity and rcspopclblllty of his position. On the occasion of the Jubilee of 1SS7 he was asked if ho was driving any of the royal and Imperial guests at that time quartered In Buckingham Palace. "No, sir," was his reply. "I am the Queen's coachman; I don't. drive the riffraff." London Chronicle. Cliine.su Pirates. Piracy Is no new thing In the wa ters around Hong Kong.

Eye. Bangor, Me. After having Bpcnt more than sixty yean? and moro than $10,000 In hunting bears and studying tho ways of wild creatures, Urccnlcaf Davis of Mount Katahdln has begun to ralso tamo woodpeckers with the purpose of using thom to convert ordi nary rock maples Into the rare and costly wood known as bird's-eye maple. Mr. Davis Is more than eighty. It haB been Mr. Davis's belief that no creature should be kept In captiv ity moro than a month. Ho has two crows, one moro than thirty years old, which have stayed by him and never sought tho society of their kind. Two robins lived with him for three yeara. His great success, however, has been won with woodpeckers, of which ho now has nearly one hundred. Most of them are the red-headed sapsuckers, which pick round holes In tho bark of trees. Ho passed weeks In his grove watching the result of the wounds which the birds inflicted on the bark. As the scars healed he noticed that there was a bright red spot left on tho wood directly below tho wound. It occurred to him that as the mark ings of bird's eye-maple were due to red spots in the wood, and as nobody had ever been able to account for them, It was possible that this variety might owe Its origin to the work of woodpeckers. By mixing anta which ho sifts from the sand with a paste formed from elm bark boiled down to a thick bat ter he can smear the trunks of thrifty maples with such food as the wood peckers require, and while they are getting a meal from the bark their bills are boring new holes in the trees and transforming ordinary maple, worth no more than $12 a thousand feet, into bird's-eye maple that sells anywhere from ?50 to $60 a thousand. DOGS DRUNK ON AUTO FUMES. Pittsburg Curs Not Mad but Merely Exhilarated, Like Joy Riders. Pittsburg. The Pittsburg Police Department, after an exhaustive in vestigation, has decided that the al leged epidemic of hydrophobia among dogs here is little more or less than a plain case of drunkenness among the dogs drunkenness through the fumes of gasoline escaping from automobiles. Cnptain of Police Ford declares he has discovered the dogs became drunk Hko the chauffeurs who speed. Both get Intpxlcated, he oay3, on gasol'ne fumes. Tho Captain explains that there is a habit prevalent among chauffeurs of drinking gasoline. The fumes from this oil exhilarates the im biber and gives him nerve to clip curves and corners. The dog acquires the gasoline fume drunk habit through running after automobiles. The dog then gets into the same class as the gasoline exhilarated auto drinker and doe's wild and ungovernable things. The dogs are not mad; they're drunk, says the Captain. 161 FLIES AS EVIDENCE. Proof Insufficient, Judge Decides Case Against State. Sheboygan, Wis. How many flies must the State offer before it can se cure conviction if 1G1 flies found in a cheese vat are insufficient as evidence to convict a cheese factory owner of keeping unclean premises. This is a question which Stato Dairy Inspector E. L. Aldorhold is now asking. He recently brought proceed ings against a cheesemaker at Ply mouth, and when the case was called before a Justice, Mr. Alderhold drew from his pocket a little box and turn ed it over to tho court as exhibit A. Tho box contained 101 flies and Mr. Aldorhold swore that he picked them out of a cheese vat In the defendant's factory. After all the testimony had been taken and evidence presented tho Jus tice decided against the State. To add to Mr, Alderhold's humilia tion at losing after he believed he bad a clear case, the decision of tho Jus tice was lustily cheered by the towns people and farmers present. MARRIED MEN WANTED.

Cleveland Plain Dealer. Where Elephants are Stolen. To steal an elephant would seem to be wcllnlgli impossible. Uut the Urit lsh Consul reports that it is a com mon practice In Siam. There the huge quadrupeds aro employed in the teak forests and frequently disappear. Ono British firm last year bewailed tho loss of a dozen and reported that as many moro wcro stolen from their contrac tors. Another firm lost nine, only three of which were recovered. Aa tho average value of the elephants is about $1,000 a head, the consul natur ally enlarges on tho seriousness of 'he matter. What Is annoying about it Is that tho officials are indifferent iuiu it ono of tho missing creatures is recov ered at all it is only by means of a search party organized for tho purpose. Pinless Chinese. A member of the Chinese legation, clad in splendid pale hued silks, stood before the Casino at Newport. "Pins," he said, "cause untidy habits. We have no pins in China. The right way to fasten things is with buttons and buttonholes, or with loops and frogs. To fasten things with pins is to make use of an untidy makeshift.
