MeLEAW, Edge Hill, Ont, It is known that several species of birds live and breed in regions far to the north of any point reached by exâ€" plorers. They are seen migrating toâ€" ward the pole, their flocks vanishing inâ€" to the unknown beyond. Obviously, they can not lay their eggs or rear their young on ice floes or bergs, and so it must be taken for granted that they find bare land suitable for the purpose. The rosy gull, most beautiful of all its fleetwinged tribe, gpends summern and winter within the mysterious and unexplored area. Its species is actually restricted to that area, only occasional specimens being seen outside of _ it, driven to the southward by storms. Only once has a flock of rosy gulls been seen; it passed Point Barrow, the most northerly point of Alaska. oPEN WATER ' there must be all the year around else' the rosy gull would starve. _ Doubtâ€" less the bird skirts the ice fields ini winter, looking for fish. Two species of | sandpipers breed in the _ unexplored | area. The same may be said of at least one species of goose. Every spring brant | are seen from _ Point Barrow, flyâ€" | ing northward, whither no human beâ€" | ing lhas yet been able to follow. _ | There must be no small extent of land ina region that exclusively mainâ€" tains a whole species of animals. . _if there be a polar continent there is no reason for picturing it as devoid of animals or vegetable life. In its surrounding waters are plenty of fishes doubtless, as well as numerous species of crustaceans, in its bays seals disâ€" The man who is lucky enough to disâ€" | cover the North Polie may well feel | somewhat discouraged if he finds a lot | of people living there. Yet why notf | The climate can not be so dreadfully | severe; it is certainly not nearly so cold | as north latitude 63 degrees. On that | coldest latitude is situated the town of | Werkojansk, in Sibperia. _ And just here | may as well be told | port themselves, perhaps, and possibly | walrus are nol ahseutl.) As ‘ggs the flora, there is apt to be as much of it as is found on Spitzbergenâ€"that is to say, plenty of mosses and lichens, with even a iew flowering plants, such as the yellow Arctic poppy. * e ts The most interesting question about the North Pole is as to whether huâ€" man beings are to be found in its viâ€" cinity. Such a notion is not so abâ€" surd as might be imagined. Froin deâ€" cade to decade bold expiorers have venâ€" tured farther and farther toward the northern extremity of the earth‘s axâ€" is, but however high the point reached people have always been _ discovered dwullin? there. A short time ago Nanâ€" sen outlined the north coast of Greenâ€" land, proving it to be an island. Yet at the north of the island he came across a colony »f 279 Esquimaux purâ€" suing a contented and {fairly prosperâ€" ous existencé by means of hunting and fishing. j 4. That the North Pole is situated on land seems to be almost a certainty. There is land bare of ice in that part of the world, and clear water too. Good and scientilic reasons lie back of these assumptions. That the region in quesâ€" tion is inhabited by various animals is an undisputed fact. It can not be asâ€" serted with confidence that human beâ€" ings do not live there. A REMAIIKABLE STORY that rests on the authority of . Capt. Herendeen, formerly engaged in the Arciic whaling service, and now emâ€" ployed in the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington. The event he describes occurred in the winter of 1885, which he spent at Point Barrow. t t . There is an Esquimau village at Point Barrow, and also a whaling station. One day tnere was a great commotion, Capt. Herendeen saw half the people of the village running, evidently much exâ€" cited. They came to him and told him that three strangeâ€"looking men had been seen on the ice off the point. They were dressed peculiarlyâ€"not in deet skins, but in a white fur, which was supposed to be that of the polar bear They acted as if very tired, and it was noticed that they had no guns. _ This last point was particularly surprising, as nobody in that part of the world ever goes without a gun. Now, the Esquimaux are proverbial for their hosâ€" pitality and amiability toward strangâ€" ers, and they were astonish»d _ when the three men took fright on â€" seeing them and ran away over the ice to the northward. â€" This was what had causâ€" ed the excitement. ; 3t The old notion of a palaeocrystic sea, or sea of ancient and never melting ice The Esquimaux declared positively that the three men were not of their people. Their dress and actions made this a certainty. If so, whence did they come? The only tenable theory seemed to be that they had drifted on an ico floe from an unknown land far to the north, the existence of which was asâ€" serted by a tradition among the Esâ€" quimaux. â€" They say that some of their people were once carried away by a storm and reached this land, subseâ€" quently returning. _ One of the natives was so confident of the truth of the story that he begged Capt. Herendeen to secure for him a passage on _ a northâ€"bound whaler, in order that he n,nfht go with the ship as far as posâ€" sible, and then leave it to complete the adventurous journey in his little boat. Gen. Greely, the famous Arctic exâ€" plorer, believes that the North Pole reâ€" gion is A CONTINENT. He says that immense masses of landâ€" made ice are seen floating southward through Kane Sea and Smith Sound under such circumstances as render it certain that they must come from a land area far to the north,. _ The very size of the berfs proves that the land area must be of great extent. On one occasion he saw in Smith Sound such a floe?m that was 800 feet thick, and that must have required something like 2400 yegi_'b 7f76_r7 iâ€"tvs‘_ ffiafi;fi A Certainty That the Pole is Situated on Landâ€"Birds May be Scen Flying Northâ€" ward Every Spring â€"Scientific Answers to Intcresting Questions.

SWEETHEARTS AND WIVES. SUMMER SMILES. TWO DREAMS TORONTO His home is a burrow in the ground. This he digs by first loosening the dirt with his pointed nose and then poking it back with his fore feet. When qlfis a pile is collected under him he kicks it away with his hind feet, while he conâ€" tinues digging with his nose and fore feet. At fixe end of his burrow, which is sometimes du% to quite a depth,he has a home, which may consist of three or four apartments. In the one farthâ€" est from the opening is always the bed, made of dry grass and leaves. _ One day with my dogs I was dig%ing out a badger, and when with my help he was at last killed (he is a good fightâ€" er and a hard biter) I turned to exâ€" amine his burrow. After a little more digging I found cuddled together,warm in their grass bed, two baby badgers. They were blind, like young puppies, and cried pitifuily when I picked them up. They were fat, rolyâ€"poly things, and would tumble over every minute when they tried to walk. Then they would cry, reminding one of a baby‘s first efforts at walking. _ _ i The badger has rather a long, pointâ€" ed nose. A white stripe runs from the nose through the center of the foreâ€" head and terminates at the nape of the neck. On either side of this stripe the face is black, while the body is a blackish gray, fading out on the unâ€" der side to a dirty, yellowish white. I wished very much to raise them for pets. We had at that time a mother dog with young puppies, and i1 took them to her kennel to try to persuade her to raise therm. At first she growled and acted cross, but after I had stroked and l;))ett.ed her awhile, telling her how much I wanted her to bringh them up for me with her puY‘pies, she allowed them to be put to tha teat, and Lleft delighted, thinking my plan a success, Next morning I burried out to see my Yets. Just before reaching the kennel saw the old dog some little distance away on the hillside with one of my badgers in her mouth. Hastily looking into the kennel I found never a badger there, and turning, ran after the dog. When I reached her she was just buryâ€" ing the little badger in a hole which she had dug in the side of the hill. A little way from her I noticed a pile of loose earth. This I du% into and found it to be the {ra.ve of my other badger. She had killed them both,and I was left to mourn their sad fate. A. L.

Early in the battle the Regent (Capâ€" tain Sir William Knivett), a ship of 2000 tons, singled out the Cordelier, *he largest ship in the French fleet. A desperale action ensued, and ended in a terrible catastrophe, â€"the Cordelier taking fire, blowing up, and causing a similar fate to her opponent. On board the Regent 700 men, and on board the Cordelier 900 men, perished. _ The gr::tch fleet made their escape into rest. + Shadow Buff.â€"This is a very amusâ€" ing game, it is called Shadow Buff, and is full of incident. A sheet is hung across one side of the room, and the player who takes the part of * Buff" sits [acing it at about a yard or so distant. lamp is placed on a table at the opposite side of the room, and the other players pass one by one beâ€" tween the lamp and the sheet, on which, of course, their shadows fall. From these shadows Buff is required to give the names of the individuals. The players may disguise themselves in any way they likeâ€"by sticking out their hair, altering their clothes, or improvising impossible collars. When the Buff guesses correctly, the fpla.yer detected becomes Buff, and Buff joins Many Words in One.â€"A game which commends itself to many children and which seems at first almost like magic, is called " Many Words in One," and is played thus: One of the company is asked to leave the room while the others settle upon some particular word which she must guess. Suppose the word to be " Apple;" she is called in and stops before the first child in row, who at once says " Arrow." She goes to the next, who says " Potato," the third says " Post," the fourth says " Lozenge," and the fifth " Eagle," each taking care to mention a word whose first letter is one t hat is found in the word " apple " and to say them in reguâ€" lar order. The guesser having heard all these words, pauses to think over their initial letters, and finds that,when put together, they are A, P, P, L, E, and compose the word " apple," which she immediately fronounoes; and it is then the turn of the one at the head of the row to go oubh while a word is proposed. "f most of the company are unacquainted with the play, the one at the head need not explain at first how ‘the word is guessed, but she had better tell her companions beforehand what words they are to say when the gfiuesaer comes in, and then they will e surprised at her guessing correctly, not thinking that it is from putting toâ€" gether the initial letters.
