perencc, aud have been found completely
su ceptible of remedy. So far as crystali-
zalion took place, and in many instances it
was abundant, the sugar has proved Of ex-
ceIent quality, free even in it's raw state,
from any bad taste, and OF pure and
sparkling white when refined. Old and
extensive dealers have pronounced it in
both states capable of successful competi-
ton with any sugars in the market. The
best result obtained from the beets Of 1888,
was lbs Of sugar from IA lbs of dry beet
Representing 100 lbs Of green, and 81
lbs of mOlaSses. In this instance the beels
had been dried without much injury except
a degree of discoloration. The grain was
strong and brilliant but the color deep. 1t
was deemed best to leave a considerable
portion Of the provision dried beet of 1888
and 1889 untouched, until an enlargement
of the apparatus should enable us to work
it up with more ease and economy. The
quantity Of sugar which we have drained
and cured, is 800 pounds. There remains
in crystalizers and moulds, not cured, and
some of it not sufficiently grained, 1000
lbs. more, and 1000 lbs. of moasses.

Arctic Regional late number of the
London Foreign Quarterly Review makes
known for the first time to English readers
some of the particulars of the Russian E.
plorllg Expedition TO the North Arc,lc
Ocean. 1t was conducted by land-that is,
by land conveyances, sledges and dogs,
over the ice, and often a considerable dis
lance from the shore, under the charge Of
Lieutenant Van Wranzel, and occupied
nearly five years, amidst the severest hard
SHIPS. The su1erings of the party from
cod, even in the mild season, were very
distressing AS sign of the severity of
the cold, it is stated that IN one of their
night encampments, muffled up and pro-
tccted by extra clothing and furs, ice was
formed between their stocking on their feet,
from the vapor thrown off by the skin;
chronometers were useless, the drop of oil
within the works could not be kept fluid by
any precautlon, in a temperature often 40
degrees below zero of Reaumur. The re-
TO of Reaumur is The freezing point, or
81 of Fahrenheit-but each degree of
Reaumur is equal to II of Fahrenheit, so
that 40 degrees below the freezing point of
Reaumur is So degrees below the zero of
Fahrenheit. ....-
The result Of the expedition may be ge-
nerally stated as having traced the boun-
darles of Asia, in their highest northern
attitudes, and connected with the English
discoveries and examination, as demonstra-
ting a continuous sea or eXpanse of water
OF indefinite extent bounding the continents
on the north and entirely round the world
The problem remaining to be solved is,
whether there be in still higher northern
attitudes, beyond the belt Of ice which skirts
their coast, Polar continent or large bo-
dy Of land. 1t has been found in all lati-
tudes, that beyond comparatively small
distance from the coast, the Polar sea is
always open and free from ice. This dis
lance rare y exceeds sixteen English miles,
and the concurrent report Of the natives of
these frozen regions, of different tribes in
the high Siberian, as we'll as in the Anne
rcan ATTITUDES, lead to the impression that
there is land, and inhabited land, not ma
ny miles across this water, and around the
poles of the earth

particularly noticed in the accounts of Van
WranzeFs expedition. 1t is the prodigious
quantity Of the bones of the mammoth
which are found. The farther north, the

moth bones. For eight years Siberian
traders have been conveying them away
by ship loads, and they are still apparently
undiminished. The like phenomenon of
the existence in this inhospitabe cline, of
immense multitudes Of these herbiverous
warm-blooded animals, appears along the
whole northern coast Of America and Asia

The atmospheric Raizray Carriages.
1t is upwards Of a year and a half since
we described the experiments made by Mr.
Ciegg, in the borough Oh the mode Of pro-
pelling carriages by means of exha listing
pipe or tube with which the carriages
were connected, and then exhausting the
atmospheric air, and, as it were, forcing
the carriages and train along, and thus
superseding the necessity Of gas or any
other power for the conveyance of train
along a rail or train-road.
These experiments were verv success
full; indeed so successful, that few persons
had any doubt about the ultimate success
of the principle of the invention.
On Thursday, the experiments were ex-
hibited on a large scale, on railroad
which connects or is intended to connect,
the line of the Birmingham, the Bristol,
and the Thames junction lines, common
cling within short distance of Shepherds
Bush, and running in westerly direction
for about three quarters of mile.
The carriage put in motion, with the
persons on it, did not weigh much less
than II tons, but it travelled with great
ease at the rate Of % miles an hour. The
exhausted pipe or tube laid down, which
was not the propell;ng agent, but the
means of its development, was about nine
inches in diameter. The engine by which
it was exhausted-namely pump, worked
by steam, rendered it fit for the operations
required, in about two minutes and half,
and from the index, that is quicksilver en-
ployed at the termeni, it was ascertained
that the operation was performed simulta-
neously at both ends of the line.
There was no noise, no smoke, land what
is better, no danger of explosion, or of a
power which could not be governed. In
short, the experiment was as successful as
its warmest well-wishers could expect,and
showed that the agency of steam is not a
sine qua non on q railroad.
Without going into the minute history of
railroads, it may be as we'll to say. that
this power can be applied TO any railroad

REMEMBERED KiNDNEss.-S years
ago, a young tradesman, having incautious-
Iy given the CASH for bill Of considerable
amount just before he began business, found
himself awkwardly situated; for the bill
was bad one, and soon after it was re-
turned. By this transaction he lost almost
all his ready money, at the precise time
when he most needed it; to such straits was
he driven, that he was arrested three times
in one day. The last time he felt very
dlsplrlted; it seemed as if all his exertions
were useless; prison and ruin stared him
IN the face. In this dilemma he was uc-
costed by kind hearted friend whom he
knew. She inquired what had happened
to make him look so miserable. lie told
her that he was quite cut up for that he
was arrested FOR fifteen pounds, when he
had but five pounds and hall-guinea in
the world.
ooh, never mind,' said she, Eve are do
ing pretty we'll; sit down with the officer.
while run and fetch the ten pounds YOU
want
Away she ran, and in a short time re-
turned with the money, thus extricatng
the young tradcsman from his difficulty.
The sudden changes of this uncertain
world often raise one up, and pull down
another when least expected. In little
time after. the kind hearted woman lost
her husband, who died leaving her very
poorly provided for; but the steady assist
ance she had given TO the young tradesman
had secured her n friend who never became
unmindful Of the service she had rendered
him.
Had it not been for that ten pounds
said he, Il might have been ruined forever;
for had been cast into prison that time,
there would have been little prospect of my
holding up my head AFTER
The tradesman abundantly prospered,
and the poor widow and her daughters are
at this present time, living rent free, in
house which is his property, receiving
those attentions which are as creditablc 20

dote:
The writer was surveying London from
the cupola of st. Paul's. 1t was a gloomy
day, the fog rolled up its heavy curtains
in limited radius, so that the thousand
spires of the metropolis were shut from
the circumference embraced by the eye.
AS he looked around, he was aware of an
other spectator, standing by his side, who
accosted him-''Well, | guess this ere is
pretty great place, from what can see!''
Our tourist took him at once for fellow
counfryman. YES" he replied, with af-
tectedignorance. "You EngIishmcn ought

Ipdiaa MinnteneSs. For acuteness Of

the class Of Indians whose wonderful pow
ers of reasoning are described below, ex-
tracted from Thatcher's Indian Traits:
Sowing partly to his organization, doubt
less as well as to his mode Of living from
his childhood up, the senses of the Indian
are extremely acute. 1t is related in mo-
dern times, that q hunter belonging TO one
of the western tribes, on his return homo
to his hut one day, discovered his venison
which had been hung up to dry, had been
stolen. After taking observations on the
spot, he set offin pursuit Of the thief, whom
he tracked through the woods. Having
gone a little distance he met some persons,
of whom he inquired if they had seen q lit
tie old Uhite nlan,with short gan, accom-
panied by small dog, with short taiP
They replied in the affirmative; and upon
the Indian assuring them that the man thus
described had stolen his venlson, they de-
sired to be informed how he was able TO
give so minute descriI ton of a person ne
had never seen? The thief know is a
little man, by his having made pile OF
stones to stand upon in order 10 reach the
vcnison, from the height hung 1t, stand

that he is a white man, know by his turn

Indian never does; his gun | know 10 be

rubbing the bark Of the tree on which it
leaned; that the dog is small, | know by
his tracks; and that he has short tail,
discovered by the mark it made in the dust

gum 10 the well; she got out and gave her
directions, and then slipped away up to
the bungalow, and stationed herself close
to the door against the wall. The bearers,
in obedience to her directions, commenced
crying out, as if expostulating with their
mistress, ard then detaching a large heavy
stone, two Of them plunged it into the wa
ter, after which they set up a howl Of la
mentation. Now the little doctor, notwth-
standing his nonchalance, was hot quite at
ease when he heard his wife express her
determination. Re knew her to be very
ententoc. and he remained on the watch.
He heard the heavy plunge, followed up
by the shrieks Of the palanqujn bearers.
Sc Good God" cried he. is it possible 2"

were standing by the we'll. AS soon as he
had passed, his wife hasted in doors, lock-
cd and made all fast, and shortly after
wards appeared at the window from which
her husband had addressed her. The doc
tor discovered the ruSe when it was too
late. 1t was now his turn 10 expostulate,
but how could he hope FOR mercy, render
ing none? The lady was laconic and de-
clded. CAT least then throw me my
clotnes," said the doctor. ''Not even your
slippers to protect you from the scorpions
and centipedes," replied the lady, shutting
the "jealousle." At daylight, when the
officers were riding their Arabians, they
discovered the poor little doctor pacing the
veranda up and down IN the chill Of the
morning with nothing but his shirt to pro-
tect him. Thus were the tables turned,
but whether this ruse Of the well, ended

doctor conformed,l have never since heard.
