SCIENCE'S DEBT TO MISSION

Scarcely any Of the sciences can
Claim that they have not been in
.debted to missionaries for valuable
facts.E The science of philology,
ethnology, geography, and zoology
have, however, received more aid
from them than any others. An
exchange makes the following re-
marks in reference to this subject:
ITO DR.. Livingstone, the distin-
.guished missionary explorer, is the
world indebted for the most d of it's
knowledge of the interior of Africa;
and it now appears that the first
discoveries of the sources of the Nile
were made by missionaries. The
Church Missionary Society. in East
Africa, in order to acquaint them
selves with %he native tribe, made
exploring tours into the interior, in
one of which they discovered snow
mountain, and after time another.
The statements which they sent to
England were at first received with
incredulity and ridicule. After some
time. they reported that the natives
declared there was a great inland
sea; when the Royal Geographical
Society sent cut an expedition,
which resulted in famous discoveries.

Sir Samuel Baker, of the great lakes,

and the Albert Nyanza, and the
sources of the great river Egypt"
! DR.. Kane received valuable aid
and counsel from the Moravian mis-
sionaries on the coast of Greenland,
in his celebrated Arctic explorations.
The Catholic priests who penetrated
the wilds of America, intent upon
the conversion of the savages, con-
tributed largely to the early knowl-
edge of the geography of the Ameri-
can continent, and the information
given by missionaries in China and
Japan has been the origin Of negotia-
tons which have resulted in the
opening of the ports of those coun-
tries to commerce and civilization. =

FIREFLIES.

In the warm summer evenings,
when the birds have ceased their
songs and the bees their labors, and
twilight is cran9ing to the darkness
ofnight, the firefies, who have been
quiet during the day, come forth and
play hide-and-seek with their flash
ings and fadings and many of our
young readers have Joined them in
the sport at some time or other, and
probably found greater satisfaction in
it than did the 4irefies. But they
have not had the fun all to them
selves. Little Indians in South
America, dusky and scantily clothed,
and young Siamese in the eastern
hemisphere, with no clothing at all.
have enjoyed the same sport, and
with. much larger frefies than our
native species.
And fun is not the only thing that
can be obtained from firefies. In
Sonth America the Inaians catch
a number of them and use them as a
lantern to light their path when
travelling by night. They also i'm

Tha sad news of the death of the
seventeen Norwegian, whalers, fro
zen in at Spitzberg Islands, has now
been confirmed. beyond a doubt. On
the 18th of September last year six
Norwegian ships, with their crews
Of together ffty-seven men, were
frozen in on the Northeastern coast
Of the Spitzbergs, at Gray Hook and
Welcome Point, eighteen and TWEEN
ty-taur English miles respectively
ffom the winter quarters of the Swe-
dish polar expedition, at Mosel Bay.
Their provisions being calculated to
last only up to the. first of Decem-
Der, they applied to Professor Nor
denskiold for assistance, an were
allowed by him to dispose of the
house and stores accumulated at Is
lord, Consequently seventeen men,
with two small open boats; left Gray
Hook on the 18th off October, crossing
the ice westward, until they found
open water, and finally reached Isf-
jord in their boats, on the 14th of
October. The remaining forty-one
men prepared themselves to pass the
winter either in their own ships at
Gray Look or with the Swedish ex-
lpedltion at Mosel Bay, when happi-
ly, in the first days of November, a
heavy storm broke the ice, and made
their escape possible. Thirty-nine
men were thus able to reach the
Norwegian port of Tromsoe. Only
two, the cid captain, Mattilar, and
his cook, would not abandon their
ship, which was not insured, and
have now been found dead in boat,
probably on their way to Mosel Bay.

ice. a.-g j.., sauwoa g ag "

we see that wrong is self-destructive,
