A PHENOMENON ExPLAiNED.--Thep phenome-
non sometimes seen at sea, the image of an in
veried ship in the air, although 10 vessel is 10 be
discovered from the deck or mast head, is caus
ed by a reiraction of the suns rays acting up
on peculiar state of the atmosphere. When
the phenomenon is observed, ship is always
within the distance of few miles, although it
may be d great distance below the curve of the
horizon. A Acaptain, when navig ating the Green.
land seas, saw the inverted image Of ship in
the air, and so perfectly was the image traced,
that npon close examination of it he discovered
il to be the reflection of his fathers ship, which
he subsequently learned was at hat moment II
miles below the horizon, and thirty miles dlstan,
The cause Of the image appearing in an invert
ed position was, that the stratum of air neares,
the earth's surface was less dense at the time
and is so in mos, Of those cases, and that imme
diately above it, the refraclive power of the s!ra
TEN was greater that The lower. In former time,
this phenomenon led to hc supersttious notior
of the Flying Dutchman.

Search for Sir John Franklin.

Several expeditions are still abroad, actively
engaged in the laudable efforts to discover Sir
John Franklin and bis gallant crew either living
or dead. The hope Of success is, however, every
day becoming more feeble. 1t is now feared that
the noble navigator has perished. Captain M

"Because have" she promptly replied.
"But how do you know you have soul ?"
:" Because do know" she answered again.
1t was chd's reason; but the philosopher
could hardly have given better.
"Wel, then, said he, after momont's con-
sideration. it. you know you have soul, can
you tell me what your soul is ?"
"Why,"s said she, 81 AN six years old, and
don't you suppose that know what my soul is p
"Perhaps you do; if you will tell me, shall
find out whether you do or not"
"Then you think don't know" she replied
'but do it is my think"
. "Your think !" said the philosopher, astonish'
ed in his turn "who told you so?
"Nobody. should be ashamed if | did not

The philosopher had puzzled his brain great
deal about the soul, but he could not have given
