witnesses of monumental record, craven

and no game Of any kind, On April 10Th
another fearful gale Set In. The sea wash
ed over the foe on which they were, driv-
ing huge fragments Of Ice upon It which
threatened TO crush them. All night lney
were compelled to hold the boat on the
Ice with lines, and with difficulty kept It
from being washed away. Next morning
they got on piece Of dry ice, and felt as
If rescued from the jaws OF death. On
April 81 all their provisions but ten bis
cults were gone, They concluded that
alter all their proVidentlal escapes they
were going TO perish by famine at last
Hope had almost deserted them. Sud-
denly one Of tho Esquimaux made a sig-
nal for all 10 lie flat on the ice. A bear
was seen approaching looking out Tor
seals. Hans and Joe got their rifles. How
eagerly all watched the bear, hoping he
would come within range. Suddenly the
crack Of the two rifles was heard and the
bear fell dead. What cry Of Joy from
the poor starving voyagers How Gag
erly they drag him on the ice and proceed
TO get ready such supper as they had
not enjoyed Tor weeks They were now
revealing In abundance.
RESCUE.
On the 2sih April, there were leads OF
open water around them, and they took to
their boat, working westward towards tho
nearest land. In the afternoon they saw
In the distance the smoke oil q steamer,
but tho weather became thick and they
lost sight of her. Next morning they saw
her again, but at q considerable distance;
they set their Colors, hoisted black blan.
ket on two OARS, and eagerly pushed to-
wards her. All In vain; the steamers
crew did not see them, and in the evening
abe disappeared. Hope began to die with.
In them. But next morning at 8 o'clock,
the fog lighted, and 10, within three miles
Of them lay large steamer Soon alter
they were seen, the steamer bore down
upon them, their suheIiDgs were ended,
and they were soon snug on board the tt.
gress, where they met with every kind
ness and attention. They were pickedup
near Grady harbor, in latitude So degrees.
Not one OF them had been at all seriously
III; and when washed and their clothing
changed no one could have told that they
had been fortnight ct sea. Captain Ty.
SOD preserved excellent discipline during
tho%hole perilous VOyOgc, and all be-
haved remarkably well.
PROSPECTS OF THE PoLAIIs.
10 regard to the Polaris the opinion
among them Is that she is no danger. She
has abundance Of stores, and in all proba-
bilily will get clear of the ice this summer.
There is fear, l regret to say, that the
ships papers and oil tho records OF the
voyage are'logt. They were on the small
fragment Of the foe that broke off with
the ship when she took the water; and
whether those on board managed to re-
cover Them II Is impossible TO say.

DIPPING THE HAND INTO MOLTEN
IRoN.-The thing has been done over and
over again, observed DR.. Carpenter in a
recent lecture, that a man has gone and
held his hand in stream of molten iron,
and has done it without the least injury;
all that is required is to have his hand
moist, and if his hand is dry, he has
only to dip it in water, and he may hold
his hand for certain time in that stream
of molten iron, without receiving any
injury whatever. This was exhibited
publicly at meeting of the British AS
sociation at Ipswich many years ago. 1t
is one of the miracles of science, so to
speak. They are perfectly credible to
scientific men, because they know the
principle upon which it happens, and that
principle is familiar to you all, that if
you throw drop Of water upon hot iron,
the water retains its spherical form and
does not spread upon it and wet it. Va
por is brought to that condition by intense
heat, that it forms n sort of film, or at
mosphere, between the hand and the hot
iron, and for time the atmosphere is not
too hot to be perfectly bearable. There
are n number of these miracles of science
which we believe, however incredible at
first sight they may appear, because they
can be brought to the test of experience
and can be at any time reproduced under
the necessary conditions. Houdin, the
conjurer, in his very interesting autobiog-
raphy-a little book l would really rec
ommend to any of you who are interested
in the study of the workings of the mind.
Houdin tells you that he himself tried this
experiment after good deal of persua-
sion and he says that the sensation of
emersing his hand in this molten metal
was like handling liquid velvet.

GOLD SANDS OF THE SEA.

These gold-bearing sands are known to
exist along our northern coast for dis
tance of over two hundred miles, reaching
from the 4lst to the 44th degree of lati-
tude. Trinidad Bay, on the southern
limit, and the Umpqua river, on the
northern limit, have been proved to be
within the belt containing these beach
sands in paying quantity. The black
sand, in diminished deposits and richness,
extends much further along the coast.
Very rich deposits are said to exist on the
coast north of Vancouver Island, in Brit
ish Columbia, and similar deposits are
found also, on the coast of Lower Calitor-
MIA. The first discovery was made at
Gold Bluff, which commences about TWEEN
ty miles north of Trinidad Bay, and ex-
tends fifteen or twenty miles along the
coast northward, to the mouth of Klam-
ath River. The next important locality
whore mining operations have been carri-
ed on is the mouth of Rogue River, IN
Oregon. Next comes Port Oxford still
further north is WHISKY Run, near Coos
Bay, where considerable mining has been
done, and whore the ancient ocean beach
was discovered, situated one hundred and
ninety feet above the present sea-level
and two or three miles distant from and
parallel with the present beach. At this
point, rs we'll rs at the others named, the
rich sands are found to extend continu-
ously along the beach for many miles,
some places being richer than others, as
is always the case in placer deposits. At
Gold Bluff, the deposit extends fully ff-
teen miles along the beach. Doubtless,
it is continuous along the entire coast we
have described being under the water at
these points whore the shore is rocky,
and unfavorabe for retaining the sand so
rs to form dry beach. This region
may therefore, be appropriately called
"The Gold Coast of the Pacific"
Concerning the distance these deposits
extend along the bed of the ocean, sea-
ward, but little is known. Soundings
have been made for distance of twelve
miles outward from Gold Bluff, which
resulted in finding the auriferous sands to
continue the entire distance, and seom-
ingly Of uniform richness. AT other points
they have been found to extend as far
from shore as explorations have been car
ried, with very limited facilities. The
belief is general among tho miners, that
the sands arc richer short distance out,
below the water limo, than they are at or
above it; and so far as tests have been
made, the belief seems well l-founded.
The beach sloping gently down under the
water, and the black iron-sand and gold
being very heavy, they would naturally
be carried thore by tho laws Of gravita-
tion, under the action of the advancing
and receding waves.-OUerland Mon,hty
for May.
