The island is ninety miles long from east to west. We steamed along close in by the shore, working our way through tli« ice. At the settlements were reaened, aud each one that was visited presented the same dreary scene of death and desola­ tion. Not a sign of life was to be seen anywhere. Not a solitary dog or rut was to be found about any of the rude lmt-s; but in front of the houses, in a ghastly row, lay the dead bodies of those who had Buccumbed to the terrible hunger. They had lain there for fifteen months, and we were probably the first to look Their clothes had rotted off from fifty to twenty-five blows.

But, iike most of their race, they were improvident and made no provision for sijwB'i a winter. The cold set in early and tinned without interruption. The flrbercurv was forty degrees below zero „ fi»r weeks at a time. The cold and vio­ lent storms psevented them from going out on the ice to catch walrus and seals-- their main dependence for food in the winter. Their scant stock of meat was soon exhausted; they were many miles from Siberia, and could not have reached it alive in the face of the fitter winter. At the northwest end of the island we found a settlement^ about 250 people. These had suffered severely from the famine, only about one-half the original colony having survived. They had a larger stock of provisions than their un­ fortunate neighbors, and thus escaped complete annihilation. The customs of tjie natives are savage and brutal.

The bodies are seldom buried; they are cast to the dogs, who devour them. At this place also we- liad new evidence of some native peculiarities --the ease with which they could see at a great distance with the naked eye, and the marvellous way in which news was transmitted from the most distant points. A native will describe the dress and ap­ pearance of a man who is approaching at a great distance. A white man, even a sharp-eyed sailor, can just make out that it is a human figure. So, if any­ thing occurs on the coast--if a piece of wreck comes ashore--the full particulars will be known a thousand miles from the Are There Ulaclcrs on th© Surface of the Moon ? This is a question which had long puzzled the inhabitants, especially of Northern countries ; for the orb was al­ ways regarded as a cold body. In fact, some of the more untutored of the au- cients supposed the moon to be an im­ mense sheet or globe of transparent ice fixed in space, and only made visible by the departure of the sun below the hori­ zon. They suppled the surroundings of the moon to be so cold as to prevent it from thawing for all time. Now, if it is true that the moon is a dead star, as we are told, there are no glaciers upon it. If, on the other hand, the moon is not a dead star, it may have glaciers on its surface. It has been shown in a previous article that there is one side of the surface of the moon which we never see, but the probability is that the unseen side has the same con­ formation and geological appearance (such as extinct volcanoes, dried-up oceans, etc.) as the side which we can see and which astronomers study through powerful telescopes. After all, however, the moon may be an orb of perpetual cold, and, even if it contained glaciers on its surface similar to those on the earth, their ac­ tion would not create heat. In this con­ nection it may lie remarked that Prof. Marks, of Philadelphia, stated at a re­ cent meeting of the Franklin Institute that he had made some calculations of the maximum speed at svliich locomo­ tives could be driven before the centri­ fugal Tmae on the tires of the driving wheels would become so great as to cause them to burn. These calculations, which, however, were approximate only, showed that the limit of speed was in the neighborhood of 150 miles per hour. Now, some of the glaciers move only about an inch in a day, some even less. Dr. H. J. Klein, who two years ago announced a new crater in the moon, has a brief article in La Nature, in which he gave reasons for believing that the moon is not dead. He has re­ cently examined drawings of the neigh­ borhood of the new crater, which con­ firm the theory of recent changes on the lunar surface, and cites also other draw­ ings in further proof thereof. Prof. Klein adds that he announced the new depression near Hyginus as a crater, from analogy. It is a crater funnel, and even one of the largest. Toward the south there is a shallow spoon-shaped hollow, which terminates in a second small crater. * In full sunlight, when the j interior of the large hollow of the crater I is no longer in shadows the spoon- i shaped hollo^' may still be seen as a j gray spot. By the use of high telescopic j powers it is remarked that the environs ) of the new crat; r appear to be fissured ! iu a bewildering manner.

Those ancient nations did not know food science, but they knew the value of good and nourishing things, and gave them the place of honor which they de­ served. Cabbages were thought of grits, or oatmeal eaten twice a day with j highly by ancient nations, and the Egyj: plenty of meat and vegetables at break- i tians gave the cabbage the honor of°iet- fast and a supper of brown biscuit, with ' ting it precede all their other dishes; sweet-meats, cheese and cream, or coffee j they called it a divine dish.

Chinese Crnelty. A large and heavy plank of wood floated past Hankow; the people saw that it had a most picturesque appear­ ance; a fair damsel of 19, well dressed, was nailed on the plank so that she could move neither her hands nor feet. Beside her was the head of a Buddhist priest; attached oh the right-hand side of the plank some cakes and other eatables so fixed that she could bend her neck and j eat them, and 011 the left 3,000 copper ! cash, and inscribed below was: "This ! 3,000 cash is provided for her coffin when j she is dead," and a special inscription ' was written above her head, whosoever ! pities her and endeavors to save her life j they are guilty of "nan to >ju chong," \ which means, " If men save her they are '> thieves, and if women save her they are ] defamed. " The particulars are that this I young damsel belonged to a wealthy fain- 1 lly, and her two brothers are petty Man- 1 darins who, holding certain posts in small I yamans at a place about twenty miles ; from Hankow, used this cruel treatment i because she was guilty of criminal inter- j course with the beheaded priest whose j head was 011 the plank with her.

They ascribe to j it the fact that they could for six hundred years do without doctors, and Cato 1 actually maintained that cabbage cured all diseases.

" Ten thousand !" she screeched, and stopped. " Start her at tive thousand !" cried a converted stock-broker present. a photographer recently to have tlie por­ trait of his wife taken. While the ope­ rator was arranging the camera the hus­ band thought fit to give some advice to the companion of his life concerning her pose. "Think of something serious," lie said, "or else you will laugh and spoil it. Remember that your father is in prison, and that your brother has had to compound with his creditors; and try to imagine what would have become of vou if I had not taken pity upon you." GEORGE MITCHELL, an Ohio wife mur- derer, declared that his condemnation to ! death was just, and that lie would not 1 have it changed if he could. He spent ; the night before the day appointed for i the hanging in loud rejoicings that lie j was about to go to heaven ; but, when a i reprieve came, he shouted : " Blessed I be God; didn't I always tell you that j the Lord was on the side of a Christian man?" ___ CANADA consumes annually 120,000 j eordsof bark at home, and 106,374 cords are exported. It is authoritatively stated ! that 1,250,000 trees are already cut, and this right, that fifteen years more of the vandalism, i. e., destroying trees and not replanting, will wipe out the hejnlock forest entirely. Canada is thus killing the goose that the United States should "cherish." , This last seems to have held the place of honor, and was first introduced by the . Romans into Gaul or France, and then ; brought to Great Britain. Later the I green-leaved cabbage was introduced, j The Greeks were fond of aromatic- sea- j sonings---of oil, raisin wine, and almonds. They boiled or stewed the cabbage and ; setisoned it with cummin, ooriauder seed, 1 with oil, wine, and gravy, making rich 1 dishes of a vegetable, which we now l>oil ; in water, and reckon among the plainest 1 food Something like a remembrance of cooking cabbage among the old i Greeks has come down to the modern j Greeks, ^ for they stuff cabbage leaves i with dainty mince meat, and then stew : them with gravy.--Airs.

The Judge carefully explained to Janosz that lie might appeal to the Ober-Tribu- nal, should the sentence strike him is too severe.

Qnack Medicines and Their Mystery. Tlie tootliack remedy, which the lady in Westerly was nearly killed by swallow­ ing, was for external use, but there are patent medicines for exterual use, whose quieting or curative effects are expected to be of the five-ininute order, and which are therefore of the most powerful and, it may l>e, of the most dangerous nature ia certain conditions. People will resort to such things, and they will continue to be furnished so long as a market can be found for them, but it is suggested as one ! moans of lessening the risk and deleteri- i l'ons--Mesa. ous effect that a law be passed requiring the ingredients of patent medicines to be fmblished and sold with tlie bottles, so hat if a person has mind to hike opium or whisky, he will do it with a full knowl­ edge and not under tlie disguise of an anodvne or au invigorator. Half the at­ traction of quack medicines comes from their mystery, aud if this was removed some of"them would lie shunned and the greater part would at least be used more cautiously. Nothing can entirely pre­ vent the people from being preyed upon until they become wise, but the law may interfere agaiust the grosser and more dangerous forms of deceit.--Providence Journal. Midnight Sunshine. The spectacle of the sun shining at midnight attracts many foreigners iu Swedish Lapland during the month'of June. For six weeks there is scarcely any night in the North of Sweden ; the sun never sets, aud the soil, constantly heated, produces in a month and a half barley and otlier crops. At that time of the year the Laplanders pen up their reindeers and move their huts toward the cultivated iields.
