THE GULF STREAM AND OCEAN
MOUNTAINS.

In recent lecture of Prof. BAcHE, OF
the Coast Survey, he stated that the diff
Guilty in correctly noting deep sea sound
ings had been overcome. He said:
They had found that the bottom of the
Atlantic ocean was traversed by a range
of mountains similar to those some dis
tanee back from the coast, and that the
Gulf Stream pursued its way over the
tops of these, and had an evident connec-
ton with them.
In the gorges of these ranges they
have found bands Of cold water evilenIly
from the polar regions. As far south
as latitude 29 degrees the register indi
Gated, at great depths, water at only two
degrees above the freezing point. These
polar streams seemed to be pursuing a
course from northeast to southwest,
and in a directly contrary direction to
the bands of warm water which form the
main feature Of the gulf stream. How
far this knowledge of the bands Of cold
water might be made available 10 com
merce he would not now pretend to say.

naces will be built, and this regionis des-
tined to become one Of the most impor-
tant iron manufacturing regions in the
United States.
Our road is now located from Ashta-
bula Harbor to New Lisbon, a distance
Of eighty-four miles. Measures are in
progress for an extension to, the Ohio
river at Wellsyille, distance of fourteen
miles, also passing over rich coal and
mineral region; and it is also designedito
connect our road with the Cincinnati,
Maysville and Pittsburgh R. R. at New
Market, in Harrison county, of the line
of the Steubenville and Indiana r. R.
Both these proposed connections will, no
doubt, be made within a short period
The A. and N. L. R. R. has been COM
pared with the Reading R. R. in Pennsyl.
vania. That road was constructed for
freighting coal, is but few miles longer
than ours, and cost over eighteen mil
lions Of dollars. Ours, it is estimated,
will cost about one million, or but lit.
tie over. We extract from the Pittsburgh
Journal the following statistics of the
Reading K. R.: Length, SO miles; cost
s18, ,464. 900; cost per mile, sl92, 800

ceipts per mile per year. s44. .7Oe; rate
Of receipts per cent. on cost % 24-100
We see nc reason why our road should
not do as large coal freighting bushes;
as that road. And viewing the immense
market to be supplied, the inexhaus
tible quantities of coal on the line of oul
road, the rich agricultural country i
traverses, the important connections o.
our road and its proposed extensions

THE DISTANCE OF THE SUN FROM
THE EARTH INCREASING.

The German journals have given some
tables which proves that the distance be
tween the earth and the sun is incIeas-
ing annually, and argue from it that the
increasing humidity of our summers and
the loss of fertility by the earth, are to
be attributed solely to this circumstance
No credit has heretofore been given to
traditions of ancient Egyptians and Chi
nese, according to which these people
formerly said the suns disc was almost
foul times as large as we now see it. for
they estimated the apparent diameter of
the sun as double of what it is seen in
our day.
II, however, we pay attention to the
continued diminution of the apparent d.
ameter of the sun, according to the best
observation of several centuries, we must
suppose that the ancients were not mis-
taken in the estimates they have trans
mitted to US.
in the course Of six thousand years
from the present time, they assume that
the distance viii be SO great that only an
eighth part of the warmth we now enjoy
fiom the sun will be communicated to the
earth, and it will be covered with eter-
nal ice in the same manner as we now
see the plains Of the north, where the
elephant formerly lived. and have nsith-
er spring or autumn.

IN HOW COLD WEATHER CAN AMI.
NAL LIFE BE SUSTAINEDf

While we are waiting for DR.. Kane's
official report Of his last expedition to the
Arctic ocean, there are some scientific
results, the publication of which we may
be permitted to anticipate. The first
of these is the conditions of animal and
vegetable life in high northern lati-
tude.
DR.. Kane's party succeeded in reach.
ing latitude 80 degrees, higher north
ern point upon the coast of Greenland
than had yet been attained by any previ-
Gus navigator. He found inhabiting this
inhospitable region the Esquimaux Indian
the reindeer, and many varieties of the
floral world, principally of the Alpine
species. The latter were numerous and
diminutive. How far north the human
race and animals exist, is not known; but
DR.. Kane's observations clearly establish
the fact, that the extreme cold of latitude
go degrees is not the limit to their north
ern migration.
The habits Of the Esquimaux are Pc
culiar. They are essentially a migra-
tory people, and, with sledges drawn by
dogs, undertake journeys of hundreds of
miles in extent, depending for their sub
sistence upon such nourishment as
chance throws in their way. This the
little party under DR.. Kane found TO be
sufficiently abundant to meet their own
wants.
During the whole cruise they were
never seriously in want of food but on
one occasion, nearing Melville bay
Here, fortunately, fine fat seal pre-
sented itself, stretched at length on the
ice. A boat was manned to 60 in pur-
suit of it, and DR.. Kane describes the
excitement Of the chase as so intense,
that one of the most experienced gun
ners of the party could hardly COM
mand himself sufficiently to fire at it un-
til the boat had neared within few
yards, and it was in very act of esca-
ping.
The temperature at which the explo-
rations were conducted, was between 10
and 80 degrees below zero. So intense
was this cold, that the alcoholic ther.
mometers failed to indicate accurately
the temperature, and even chloriform
and the essential oils, which resist low
temperatures, became thick and turbid.
1t was only by careful observation and
comparison of many instruments, that
they were enabled to attain 10 any ac-
curacy in regard to the extent of the
cold.
An opportunity has thus been given of
testing the ability of the human body to
resist temperature of seventy degrees
below zero, for several months together.
The Doctor and his party were enabled
to do this by an immense consumption of
animal food, the ordinary daily allow
ance to each manbeing six or eightducks.
or an equivalent in several pounds of the
fat seal.
Shortly after the discovery Of the
compound nature of the atmosphere by
Priestly, Crawford broachcd the theory
