OCR Text	Show I That Balloon Expedition. A correspondent asks, "What time is I the balloon expedition to start for the north pole?" ' There is some donbt now felt as to j whether it will start at all. The men who intended to go are Frenchmen, bnt t the French Aeronautic society, which has been considering the matter, think that no good could possibly be accomplished, accom-plished, even if the voyagers were able to pass over the pole and get back alive. The preeexnt programme is that they will send np pilot balloons next summer from Spitzbergen, and if these show the direction direc-tion and force of winds to be favorable to the scheme the expedition will start in the summer of 1892.
