ARCTIC DISCOVERIES.

The voyage Of the British exploring
ship Challenge, in the Arctic Seas has
been productive of important results,
inasmuch as it has proved the worth
lessness Of many previous discoveries.
The chief object accomplished by sue
cessiye tours in these frozen regions
seems to be a great dispersion Of money
ana destruction Of life, and the expo
sion Of the theories based upon the OBJ
servatiors OF previous navigators. The
ship Challenge reports that the CONT
nent discovered by Capt. Wilkes does
not exist What information. with re-
gard to hitherto-Unknown seas or lands
the Challenge has brought back for
some subsequent explorer to refute,
our Gdviccs do not state. Franklin,
Ross, kcilett, Kane and others, have
reported land where their fol-
lowers sailed IN an open sea, or they
located water where those coming after
them walked dry-shod. The unusual
refractIon in those cold regions often
brings objects INTO view by Il mirage,

NOTATION ANONG SArAGES.

All the North American Indian Ian
guages confirm Grimrl's conclusion
that al names for numbers nre derived
from the fingers. Two methods are
recognizable. One is strictly decimal,
the ten fingers being the base Of the
system. This is the most common, but
among some tribes, the Eskimo of
Hudson's Bay, for instance, both fin
gers and toes aye required, twenty being
called " NAH" The Darien Indians
count twenty as one man. and-t repre-
sent five men they have to count one
hundred. There seems to be IN in
ability aIuong some OF these tribes to
double up before the entire basal num-
Der has been counted. Thus III Green
land, the natives cannot represent a
mar by exhibiting the ten fingers
twice, which would make twenty, but
the fingers having been counted, they
have to transfer the enumeration to the
toes before "a man " is represented.
The Dakota and Crow Indians count
ten on the fingers, this being the base
OF their systim, and each tine the
count is finished they keep tally by
bending one finger down. Fifty-three
tribes have the decimal system. Very
few have the system of twenty, and one
the Abipones of Paraguay-can
count only to four, to which final figure
they gave the name "ostrich toes

1.-THE TWO ~

SO far as pure air is concerned, some
hints are given by Canon Kingsley which
may be useful even to the poor, or to
employers who care for the poor. He
describes what he calls "the two
breaths," and their effects. The two
are, of course, the breath you take in
which sis, Drought to be, pure air, CON-
posed, ON the whole, of oxygen and nitro
gen, with a minute portion of carbonic
acid'-andthe breath you give out, which
SIS an impure air, to which has been ad-
ded, among other matters which Will not
support life, an excess of carbonic acid"
He then points out that this carbonic
acid gas, when warm, is lighter than the
air, and ascends and, when at the same
temperature as common air, is heavier
than that air, and descends, lying along
the floor, lust as it lies often in the
bottom of old wellsor old brewers vats.
as a stratum OF poison, killing occasion
ally the men who descend into it."
Hence a word of a~dInonition is addressed
to those who think nothing of sleeping
on the floor and hence, as "the poo-
are o apt. in times of distress, to pawn
their bedsteads and keep their BEDS"
the friends of the poor are entreated
never to let this happen, and to keep
the bedstead, whatever else may go, to
save the sleeper from the carbonic acid
on the floor ChamSers' Journal.

EADRANAUT.
The grand conglomerate hills OF Araby,
THAT stand enpanoplied III utmost thought.
With dazzling rar1parts front the Indian sea,
DOVE there in Hadramaut.
The sunshine Elnashes in the doors Of morn
And leaves them open there the vibrant calr
OF life nagnloquent peryades forlorn
The giant :ronds of palm.
The cockGtoo upon the upas screams;
The armadiIlo fiuctuates DER the hill:
And like : ls=, incarnadined i'll dreams.
Al crimsouiy i thrill,
There nave iconoclasts no powFrt to harm,
So, folded grandly in translucent mist,
: let the light stream down my jasper arm.
And ~ MY opal list.
