DICKENS Thus far no writer has succeeded
in drawing so large prcuniary profit from the
exercise of his talents rs CHARLES DICKENS.
His last romance, Bleak House, which ap-
peared in monthly numbers, had so wide
circulation IN that form, that it became n
valuable medium of advertising, so that before
its close the few pages of the tale were com.
pletely lost in sheets of advertisements which
are stitched to them. The lowest price for
such an advertisements was 81 sterling and
many were paid for at the rate Of e. and &c
From this, there is nothing improbable in the
supposion, that in addition to the large sum
received for the tale, its author gained some
200 by hls advertising sheets The House
hold Words produce an income of about
$4,000, though Dickens, having put it entirely
IN the hands of an assistant editor, has nothing
to do with il hoy nd furnishing weekly
article. Trough his talent alone, he has raised
himself from the position of newspaper
reporter to that Of n literary Crnsus. At hi,
dinner, says a German writer, at which the
highest aristocracy Is glad to be present, h
equals them in wealth, and furnishes an intel
lectua banquet OF wit ard wisdom, which they
the highest and most refined circles, canno
initiate.

The FATE OF FRANKLIN. Alta recent meet
ing of the Royal Geographical Society, Sir
Roderick Murchison in the Chair, Capt lngle-
field, in answer to question addressed to him,
stated his belief that SIR Edward BelcheIw who
was in Wellington Channel at last accounts J
would be acquainted with the operations and
unsuccessful results of the other expeditions
by means of his exploring parties. His opin-
ION was that Franklin has passed up Yelling
ton Channel, penetrating beyond the distance
of eighty degrees. and reached some land more
moderate in its climate than that further south.
and where he would be likely to find an
abundant supply OF deer and musk oxen. If
the ships had been lost he thought some traces
Of the wrecks would have drited on to the
shores of SpiiAborgen. lie had never entirely
given up the idea that the two ships seen on
an iceberg in 1851 were Franklin's and that
their crews might have escaped in boats to
Spizbergen 1t was curious that the Norwegian
Fishermen who froquented that island, had for
the last two or three years been finding REIN
deer with their ears split roaming on lt.and the
most likely way of accounting for this, is by
supposlng that some English sailors lodged on
its northern shores. There was an instance of
four Russians having subsisted on the north
coast for six years, though they had but single
muskct and Il few necessary articles. He could
not ronopncc the hope that apt. Kennedy, in
the Isabel, which was now at Val paraisO, about
to 90 up Behring's Straits,might he enabled to
come back by Spizbergen and Nova Hembla.
Ifhe had such mild season as Barentz met with
in 1906 he might be enabled to do this, accom-
plishlng also the examination of the Siberian
coast in single season.
Capt ,echcy remarked that the sea be-
tween Spltzbergen and Nova Zembla mad never
yet been penetrated and ho thought there was
little ground for the belief that it would not be
frozen at the pole. A hope was expressed that
another expedition would be ordered to proceed
for the purpose of exploring the seas around
Spitzb crgen.
