WOVLD HARNESS AVRORA BOREALIS.

Evelyn B. Baldwin, who expects to plant the Stars and Stripes on the North Pole, sails for Norway to join the ships America and Frithjof, which have been fitted out by William Zieg- , ler, the wealthy ex-Arctic explorer, j who will supply funds to the amount .

of $1,500,000. The above illustration shows now electricity may be extracted from the Aurora Borealis, according to the theory of Mr. Baldwin. From close observation of the Aurora Borealis, he believes that it is a great force, which can be placed in control

of human ingenuity. He believes that this force is electrical and that the polar regions hold great reservoirs of it, which could be utilized in the propulsion of machinery and the working of dynamos. The America is to carry the expedition.
