I need not go into ail the scientific details to state that the the rezular ‘ating north or northwest on the ‘each of winter to x a milder climate and ison the ve and its mouth is miles up stream ‘n opening, much warmer than it is 600 In high latitudes the inkabi- tants commonly speak of the south as being colder, and they migrate north at the approach of winter to seek a warmer climate. Captain Hoss in high latitudes speaks of the Arctic sea as calm and clear of iee, while all the south was a wide belt of ice, and that currents of air from the north were warm and melied the ice. Captain Parry makes frequent mention of warm currents of air coming from the north earth. Dr. Kane also claims that in the far horth the climate is warmer. All Arctic ex- plorers state that above and beyond 68 deg. to ‘70 deg. north latitude there is a milder climate than ata lower dewree. Large herds of deer, white bear, foxes and other ani habit of migrating north in all hi the approach of winter. Those that live on the northern side of the verge go north and those on the southern side travel south in winter. When there is a warm winter in England it is unusndlly cold in Spitzbergen, because the winds passing over the iee-bound verge fall on Spitzbergen cold and lower its temperature, while winds blowing from the north or from the i r fall on the island warm, but after ing over the cold verge they lower greatly the temperature of England. THE OPEN POLAR SBA. It is certain that far to the north of the frozen rezions of the verge there is a milder climate and an open sea. And recent explorers all tes- tify that such is the fact, for they have gone where it is warms and where the water is not frozen. Captain Hoss states that In the polar rexions the horizon from north to south is very Innited. but that east and west it is greatly ex- tend The apex of the verge is in_ Lapland. about north; in the Fox islands, 56° north; in the Ural mountains, 58° north, and extends through the south part of Kamschatka.

The Gulf passes aronnd northern Europe and Asia ud to the south of Spitzbergen, but the current that washes the northern shores of the island is from the Arctic re floated f MMER AT THE POLES ther reason for the belief In a warm eli- maie in the Arctic regions is the fact that the wild geese at the latitude of 82°, where Dr. tered, were seen flying north at the : of winter, and in-tiie spring were seen to return with their young, and looking fat and sleek. They must have passed the winter in some warm rezion where the grass grows to subsist upon. The nest of the gray goose has t been found by man, and it must be in zion in the far northern extremities of jon. * Common re us that such must be the case. Soi of Dr. Kane's crew in his Arctic explorations traveled «es drawn by dogs to avery hich latitude, and discovered an open sea full of birds and hered creatures. The water was warm, and relling as though they came a ‘lon nd over an extensive sea. [need not 1 further on these points; the ancient idea that the poles of the earth are snow and ice capped is antiquated and unworty of beliet under the lights of modern science and Arctic travel and explorations. We talk of Columbus having discovered a new world when he found the West Indies and America. but what should we say if De Long penetrated the ice belt of the north and found 4 hew country, and perchance a new people in- habiting that country; and who knows bat the lost tribes of Israel are hid away behind that ice wall of the impenetrable north. A people may be there, with splendid cities, more civilized and enlightened than we. They y have more beautiful country than we. They have a highly cultivated land, finer roads, better houses, maznificent ships, and all that befits a more enlightened people. Or per- babited by humanity, but a far superior locality for man than on tie outside of t! ne ‘sphere. The all-wise Being may have reserved it for the settlement upon by man in this nineteenth century, when he vated by the various agencies of deducation. There may be on that le wide seas, grand rivers, noble inland mountains, vast areas of fe tiie, land, and the inner earth may produce spontaneously all the food necessary for man's subsistence and pleasure. Sickness and disease may be unknown in that superior clime. On that inner land may be the abode of huge and territic monsters that inhabit the land and water and fly through the air. In the pre- historic ages the outside surface of this earth which we now intigbit was the abode of animals and fish and birds of cigantic size; in that inner irface of the earth the anjmal and vegetable life may be of enormous proportions—far greater than that tiat geology brings to light.

A Story Con With the Steamer New Abandoned in Arctic Ice. From the Los Angeles Times. For more than eighteen months past a beau- tiful and accomplished young lady of this city— lovely and romance-inspiring footstool of the angels—has been in a constant state of hope and despair. The news received from the wan- dering Jeannette has sent gladness and sorrow to many a breast, but to the young lady in ques- tion it has created the most’ anxious fears. It seema that Miss was visiting friends in San Francisco during the winter of 1878-79. She met Lieut. Danenhower, of the U. 8. navy, anoble specinen of manhood. The lieutenant was smitten with the fair daughter of Los Angeles, Cal. They met often, and the sequel was soon evident in a desperate love affair. But the old, old saying, that true love never ran smooth was never more plainly illustrated than in this case. For several months there was not a happier pair in all San Francisco. This earthly bliss could not last long, how- ever. The lieutenant was under orders to sail with the ill-fated Jeannette. As the time drew near the aweet girl became sad and pensive, and it was a common thing for her to meet her lover with tearful eyes. She told him her fears. and pleaded with ail the eloquence Gaby Eacwn wa lovely maiden; but her lover had been ordered his honor would not permit him to break his word, even for the bei he worshiped. The devoted lovers parted, possibly never to meet again inthis world. This is the sad story told iu brief by the old coachman, who related fis tale with tears in his eyes. “Yes, sir,” said the oid fellow, “she has been a different girl ever since. They had only known one another a short time, but I don’t believe two. people ever loyed as did this devoted couple. Why, sir, her mother said that when the lieu- tenant came to bid her good-bye it took two of his brother officers to separate them when the moment of parting came. She fainted almost 8s soon as he was out of the house. When she revived she ordered a carriage and immediately’| epaired to the Cliff House. As soon as she ar- rived there she took a stand where she could get a good view of the Golden Gate. Neither com- mands nor coaxing could move her until she. was satisfied the vessel had passed out to sea. After returning to Los Angeles she led a retired life, having been convinced from the first that she would never see ler lover again. She has never failed to be up.by daylight since the Jeannette sailed in order to read the telegraphic news. That, sir, has been the only thing that has ever Interested her. When she gat the Times this morning and got the news from the Jeannette jaep might have heard her screams almost a mile on” ——_—_____-e-________ Making a Debut in Politics.

From the N. Y. Tribune. “That,” said the eccupant ofan up-town studio pointing to a blackened. charred hole in his old fashioned sofa, “‘that’——‘is the result of a cigar stub,” interrupted a friend. ‘No, sir,” replied the artist with dignity. ‘That is a case of sion pure spontaneous com- bustion.” While the artist was taking breath his visitors examined the hole. It was evidently a serious case of burning. On one arm a nearly circular spot five or six inches in diameter had been eaten through. The fire had burned through the outside cloth covering, through half an inch of curied hair, and through perhaps an inch or aninchand a half of solid wood. An intense heat had evidently been applied in this particu- lar spot, evidently by means of some substance that would retain heat and fire long enough to burn through the wood. This was the story that the artist told of a genuine case of spontaneous combustion. “The other afternoon I was engaged in stain- ing the wainscotting of my studio. I took a piece of cotton cloth to wipe the wookwork with, but as it was growing dark I used the cloth very little, not enouzh to soil it past using again. The preparation I had been using was a mixture of Prussian blue and black, boiled oil and turpentine. I thought I would use the cloth, which was only slightly stained with this preparation, again next day. So I rolled it up in a piece of burlap and left it on the arm of the sofa. Then I went out to dinner, and as the studio wasn’t quite ready for occupancy didn’t come back here until the next morning. When I entered I noticed no especial smell of smoke, but on going to get my piece of cloth I found it amass of charred tinder. A hole was burned through the burlap in which it had been wrapped, and the arm of the sofa was ed through as you see. Therefore I call this an undoubted case of spontaneous combustion. ‘This had hap- ned at night, and thesun could in no case ave reached the cloth.

In yesterday morning’s drawing ti Lo Astenishes His Stomach. One of the peculiarities of the latest United States style of feeding the noble redman is the fact that he is given government rations, and at the same time appropriations are made which are supposed to maintain him. Some- times a wild Indian, who doesn't know much about groceries and how to prepare them for food, comes in and draws his regular soldier rations in this way. For. instance, up in the Sitting Bull country,a while ago, an Indian came in from the warpath who had never seen any of the pale face style of food, and drew his rations. He made a light meal of unground coffee the first day, and as he over-ate and the coffee swelled in him, he had difficulty in but- toning his pants around the he had on hand. He felt very unhappy for a day or two, but laid it to the fact that he hadn’t exercised much, and the consequent ennii and indigestion resuiting therefrom. As soon as he succeeded in getting the interior department quieted down a little he tackled his ration of candles. These he decided to parboil, in order to ayoid trouble from indigestion. The dish was not so much of a glittering suecess as he had anticipated, and as he remorsely picked the candle wicking out of his teeth with a tent pin, he made some remarks that grated harshly on the esthetic ears of those who stood near. ofextremely potent vinegar to wash it d At first there was a feeling of surp stomach, which rapidly gave place to unavailing remorse.

EB little while a look of pain would come over the features of the noble child of the forest, and then he would Jump about 17 feet and try te kick a cloud out of the sky. Then he would sit down and think over his past life. It tuok about a week for him to get back to where he dared to get up another meal for himsel Then he fricasseed a couple of pounds of laundry soap and ate that.

When a gal-. lon or so ot agitated baking powder and vin- egar is sinzing its little song in the innermost recesses of an Indian, and this has been fol- lowed by a treatment of laundry soap, the stu- dent of iuman nature can finda wide field for observation in that locality.

From the London World. Alfred Count D’Orsay had a true feeling for art; for,as Mr. Henry Melton tells us in his “Hints on Hate,” the Count had, on the occa- sion of his first interview with him, “fourteen hats lying all ready for wear in his dressing- room.” The reason for this number of hats was that D’Orsay’s hats varied in dimensions to suit hiscoats. For his lighter cut-off riding-coat, he wore his hat smaller in all dimensions than for the thicker overcoats, especially that magnifi- cent sealskin coat first introduced by him. Although wearing a hat forevery coat D’Orsay had one distinctive character in allofthem In his equestrian portrait, by Grant, he appears in an elegantly proportioned hat, with a flowing rather than curly brim. His hats were also made somewhat remarkable by ribbed silk binding instead of being fastened by the ordin: buckle.

It will be recollected that hatters snddenly lowered, not their prices, but their crowns, and that this operation led to the detec. tion of the murderer Muller. Perhaps the Mul- ler trial hada baneful influence on the West- morland hat, as the execution of Mrs. Manning ruined the black satin trade; for hats have grown taller again. The Prince of Wales bas given vogue to an improved form of wideawake: but. still the stove-pipe holds its own, and the hats of many eminent Britons wonderful to*be- hold. Bating the extraordinary white, or rather tricolor, hat worn by the eccentric Joey Jones at Paris one year, there is nothing in the world of hats like that worn by Professor Owen, which for flatness of brim and rigidity of crown is un- rivalled. It looks as if, like the hats of the Lord Harrington just speken of, it was made thick and strong enough fo bear the test of being stood upon. Mr. Gladstone wears a hat whieh always appearsold and shape- less, like the gloves whieh he never succeeds in putting on properly; and Mr. Chamberlain puts ‘on the extreme top of his cranium a straight- brimmed object which looks as if the slightest breath of air would blow it off Mr. George Lane Fox’s inseparable stoye-pipe is as ample and as characteristic as the swallow-tailed coat and everything else about that famous M. F. H.; and the Duke of Beaufort is remarkable for the elegance of his gray black-banded telt. Lord Hartington is another ‘man with the white hat,” and wears it at a peculiar down-oyer-the- eyes, keep-your-distance angle.~ The late Lord Beaconsfield expressed nothing in the shape of his hat, but very much in the way he put it on at the end of a discourse. As he sat down the hat appeared almost to leap upon his head by some kind of invisible azency. Around lesser theaters than that of St. Stephen’s oddly shaped and worn hats may be found.» Mr. Irving has achieved the feat of getting his hat further down the back of his neck than would be deemed possible, just as Lord Hardwick at- tained an almost inconceivable pitch of glossi- ness. ——$——______ Homeless Girls Sleeping in Carw and Boxes, A Chicago exchange says: The Margaret Ful- ler society of this city is taking an interest in the question of providing a home for our work- ing girls.

THE FIRST GREAT AND SOUTH, HENRY. The palmy days of the American turf, it has been said, were between the years 1815 and 1845. Subsequent to that date the trotting horse began to monopolize public atteution, and the running stock of America was less in note and demand. Recently, when the flyers of Lorillard and Keene have crossed the water and won the Derby and St. Leger from the best blood of Oid England, and when running races again form part of the attraction at the best meetings of the country, it is interesting to turn back a page or two, and read of the events in which our grand- fathers took a keen interest.
