Sheer persistency will eventually win the flRht to rencu the North pole. This must ho n,pnrcnt to every person who has noted the extent to which each succeslve expkr InK expedition ban Murpnssed Its prcdcien bom In niaRnltUdo nml equipment. All the preparation!", however, which have boon malo Tor nny previous dash to the Arctic appear lnInlflcnnt In romparl-on with the sel ever entered the Arctic rcas bcttir constructed than the America to withstand the perils peculiar to seas of Ice. The fnmoim Norwegian sealer, tho Krlthjof, will ficcompany the America, carrying suppllen and provisions as far north as Kranz Josef Land, where Mr. Haldwln proposes to es tablish his base (if operations. Itnldu In'n i:ierJeniT. The perionallty of tho man who Is In command of tho latest polar Invading force Is such as to Inspire confidence, and his achievements. In tho past would ap pear to fit hint for this supremo ordeal. Mr. Haldwln was boru In n federal camp during the civil war and when a mere boy made a trip on foot and by bicycle over all parts of Europe and tho greater pa"t of the t'nltcd States, winding up with the pioneer wheel trip ever made through Yel lowstono park. As noted, ho was with 1'enry In the Arctic in 1S93, and all ar rangements had boon made for him to Jolu tho lll-fatcil Andree In tho lattcr's bal loon expedition, but at tho last moment he was forced to remain behind. It being found that thero was less room In tho oar ''' '''"' KVEl.YN IlHIOflS BALDWIN. plans made for the expedition which will lcavo Now York City In Juno of tho piesent year. This rnturprUe, which Is known nlll elally as tho Ilaldwln-Zlegler expedition, Is under tho direction of Kvelyn 11, Hald wln, a man who for mnro than a decadn lias been engaged almost exclusively In Arctic work, and Is Ilnanced by William Kloglcr, tho linking powder magnate, who has announced his Intention to expend $1,000,000 If necessary In his effort to lloat tho stars and strlpcn (list at the North Pole. Tho routo selected by Mr. Haldwln Is ono never trnvornod before. There is a largo territory in Kranz Josef Land, lying be tween the British channel and the Austrian sound, called by Mr. Haldwln the "inter channel route," which has never been charted. This Includes the regions to tl:e north and northeast of Ciowu Prince Hu dolph Land. It la tho explorer's Intention to cross this territory, making a complete geographical chart of It, und then to make his dash for tho polo from tho farther most northern point In this region. Although Mr. Haldwln accompanied tho Peary expedition of 1S93 and Is thu.i thor oughly familiar with tho theories of his chief llval In tho race for tho Pole, ho Is by no means In sympathy with many of them. Kor Instance, Lieutenant Peary has always contended that a Polar exploring party should bo made up of tho fewest pos slblo persons In order that tho danger of accident and delay, duo to sickness, might bo reduced to n minimum. The young American who now seeks to light his way through tho region of perpetual snow and Ico takes his stand that, within reasonable bounds, there Is strength In union. I:K-unIvi- TriiiiNiiirt Servlee. In pursuance of this polity tho Haldwln Zlcgjer party will have tho most exten sive transport train over carried on such ft voynge. For molug tho supplies ami ifpparatus there will bo employed 100 Eskimo dogs and fifteen Siberian ponies, and, Just to Indlcato tho manner In which tho comfort of bcastB as well as men 1st to bo looked after, It may bo noted that fifty tons of specially prepared dog food Is Included In tho list of equipment. In the exploring party proper there will bo soiiui thirty men, ulthough It tho sailors and other men aboard tho vessels bo In cluded In the enumeration tho totnl will probably exceed ecvcnty-Ilvo persons. Tho explorer, however, will allow to accom pany him only tho h&rdlest men. Each member of tho party understands that ho will bo expected to Jo rough work from beginning to end and that tho Journey Is not to bo legarded ns In nny sonse a pleas tiro excursion. It Is significant that nl most of the men who will accompany Mr. Haldwln aro sturdy young Americans of exceptional energy. This coming Invasion of the frozen north will bo made with two vessels. Tho steamer America, which Is to carry tho exploring party and Is now being refitted at Dundee, Scotland, for ono of tho most arduous tasks over Imposed upon a vessel, la 157 feet lu length, 'J9 feet beam aud 10 feet lu depth. Tho America was formerly tho crack whaler of tho Dundee licet and haB seen exciting Bcrvlco In tho Arctic regions. Sho Is a three-masted Balling vessel with aux iliary steam power, driving a single screw. nnd Is, of course, of wooden construction, hlnco no experienced explorer would think of taking a steel craft into the Ice padc, .This vessel, lately rcehrlstened In honor of Explorer imidwin'H nativo land, car rled tho Swedish expedition under Prof. Koltoff to Orcenlnnd last year, and it may bo asserled with continence that nq ves than had been anticipated. Pushing northward after this disappoint mcnt Jlr. Haldwln spent tho season study ing Arctic conditions, and In 1S9S-09 he went to Franz Josef Land as n member of tho Wollmau Arctic expedition. He spent thieo or four months last year In Kurope making Investigations bearing upon his present project, and probably no other expedition has had plaus so carefully mapped out to tho minutest detail In ad vance. Mr. Baldwin's chief concern now Is to beat out Lieutenant Peary and Cap tain Sverdrup, who aro In commaul of two separate expeditions which are forging to the polo by what la known ns tho "Green land routo," n different course from that which will be followed by the Haldwln party. As Indicative of tho determination of the man, It may bo noted that Mr, Baldwin's plans contemplate a voyage to the Antarctic Bhould the northern goal bu leached by another cm his party has taken up the race, nnd with this possible con tlngency in view tho equipment of tho two ships has. been made ample for a most ex tended voyage. Thero will bo stored in tho holds of tho Haldwln vessels moro than 72,1)00 crys talllied eggs and fully 400,000 rations of coffee. This cofteo Is of a now brand, Japanese preparation known ns "kato," and It has been prepared In the tablet form, n tablet no larger than a cough lozenge affording a delicious cup of coffee. Prac tically all tho food taken will be of the concentrated variety, and Immense quantl ties of condensed milk will also be stored away In tho floating larders. Mr. Baldwin expects that his men will shoot cnougl seals, bears aud birds to provide a fair pro portion of fresh meat, but ho Is not rely ing upon this snurco of supply to nny eon- sldorablo extant. Dried nnd tinned meat Is to bo carr.led In large quantities and the new form of r.itlon with uhlpli Mm Itnltml StateB War department recently mado ex-' pcrlments will bo employed to sonio extent Deslccnted potatoes and a great varloty of cauued fruits will servo to ward off tho dread scurvy which often attacks crows forced to subsist on an exclusively meat diet. 1 iIiiiiciihp I'nek (if IIiik. The immense pack of dogs which will accompany the Baldwln-Zlegler party con stitutes ono of Its most novel features. Tho 400 nnlmala a dozen times as many as Nansen had all picked for their qualifica tions as bcastB of burden, have ulready been purchased In Siberia and will bo ready to Join tbo expedition when tho America reaches tho Norwegian rendezvous. That these canines can bo utilized to Im mense advantage) may bo Inferred from tho fact that a good dog team will travel from tlfty to sixty miles n day, a team of flvo dogs ftequontly moving from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds, tho load being strapped to a sled perhaps soven or eight feet In length. Tho scientific sldo of tho expedition Is likely to prove very Important. Although tho projectors have been somewhat rotlcent regarding this portion of their plans, It Is understood that several eminent scientists will accompany tho party, and not only Is thero hope of gaining much Information re garding tho unoxplored region to bo traversed, but there Is also reason to ex pect that much additional data will bo secured bearing upon the Arctic region In general. Thousands upon thousands of dollars have been expended fcr an equip ment of Instruments of tho most modern and most cxpenslvo character, nnd how complete will bo this phase of tho enter prise may bo Imagined from tho fact that arrangements have been mado to employ telephones and electric searchlights In sig naling operations. Tho astronomical program uhlch has been mapped out Includes tho .determination of latitude and longitude by numerous metheds, as well as Investigations along Hues not usually taken up. .Magnetic and hydro graphic work will, of course, have consider nblo attention, and Mr. Haldwln anticipates that his experience of several years In weather bureau work will enable hlni to se cure meteorological data of value. A spe cialty will bo made of photographic work. A photographer Is to accompany tho party, and it Is the Intention to have the camera record Arctic conditions nnd phenomena much more completely than on any previous occasion. folptiflfle 1'roKrniu. Explorer Baldwin has ono hobby which he will carry out If possible during the present voyage. This Is to erect and live In the northernmost house In the world. With this end In view the equipment of tho party In cludes a portable houfe somewhat on tho order of tho unique structure which Count von Waldrrseo carried with him to China, The structure which Is to bo tuken Into the Arctic, howtver, has been elaborately planned with rcfereuee to tho exclusion of cold. Great quantities of tho material which formed the roofs of the buildings at the Omaha exposition lire also being put aboard the vetsel In order to provide sheds nnd windbreaks for the dogs and to shelter the men when making observations of various kinds. Tho same precautions which distinguish other phases of tho enterprise characterize tbo preparation of clothing for tbo men. KurH will bo used, Mr. Baldwin believing that nature's bestowal of this covering on animals Indicates to mankind tho source of the best defense ngalnst extreme cold. Furs will, however, bo supplemented In all cases by woolen underwear, and all tho fur, whether designed for clothing or Bleeping bags, has been specially selected and treated wjth exceptional care.

Among the many delicacies provided for our tables at this season of tho year we find tho spring chicken ono of tho most temptlug on the bill of fare, but how oftcu our anticipations meet with disappoint meut when the dish Is set before us; In stead of a tender, delicate morsel, wo havo a dried and tasteless bit of bone and shreds. Fried chicken Is a dish which may bo or dercd at any season of the year, but If ono wishes to fully enjoy It they should wall until tho season will permit the chickens to bo grown by natural methods. Open air and sunsbluo mean as much to tho young chick ns to growing plants. Well might tho southern housewife boast of tho superiority of this dish over that frequently found nbovo Mason and Dixon's lino. Tho southern cook's method of cook lng differed greatly from that of tho north crn cook. A well-known northern woman who lived south for years had an old-time colored mammy for cook, and sho conso quently reveled In "delicious fried chicken nnd beaten biscuit" until sho unexpectedly discovered "Mammy Jano" In tho act of wringing tho chickens' necks, preparatory for frying for breakfast. Tho chicken be ing killed in this expeditions manner, wns quickly stripped of feathers, drawn and quartered and plumped Into tho pan of hot fat boforo tho animal heat was out of tho flesh; consequently the meat was tender, pink nnd Juicy with crisp brown crust and delicious flavor. Madam do cidedly objected to this modo of proccduro, considering It rather barbarous, and com manded that this plan should not ho adopted again. Mammy Jano promised, but with nn ominous shako of tho turbaned head predicted that "MIssub would find n dtffunce." And "missus" certainly did, to her regrot. Chicken a la Marengo Most railroad travelers havo becomo so familiar with this title, tho too frequent acquaintance has bred weariness If not contempt; but when tho dish Is properly prepared, "that Is another story." An In tercstlng account Is given of Its origin, which was, like many other good things In tho culinary line, distinctly French, This Is how It camo about: On the evo of tho bnttlo of Marengo tho first consul was very hungry aftor tho tumult of the day and a fowl was ordored hastily prepared. Tbo fowl was procured, but no butter was to bo had. Thero wns plenty of oil, howover bo tho cook, pouring a generous quantity or this in his saucepan, placed therein tho "fowl," a clovo of garlic and other nvallablo seasonings, salt, cayenno and In all probability truffles nnd tarragon, addc a llttlo white wlno and served up hot with a garnish of mushrooms. It Is said that this dish proved to bo tho second conquest o tho day, as tho first consul found It most ngrocable to his palate, and ever since this has been a favorite dish with all lovers o good cheer. Tho "Improvement" to this method Is tho addition of half a pint of Spanish sauce. Mushroom liquor or sauco may bo ndded also, and Madeira wlno genorally used. Tho dish Is garnished with croutons of fried bread and fried egg around tho edge. For Spanish Sauce Brown to getner an eighth of a pound of butter and four level tablespoons of flour, stirring constantly to keep perfectly smooth. When a nice brown pour In half pint or gooi stock or broth; stir and cook until smooth; then simmer gently until reduced scmowhat; season with salt and pepper nnd llttlo onion Juice, unless garlic has been added to tho chicken.
