A New Arctic Expedition.

We clip the following from an ex-
ch ange, which puts us to thinking
again. We have read everything we
could get on the subject and racked
our brain to discover, If possible,
common sense reason for the vast ex-
penditure of life and property in these
expeditions; but thus far our search
has been in vain. We have all the
while supposed that other people
knew all about it; consequently, we
kept quiet; lest we should expose our
ignorance. But it now seems that
other people are precisely in the same
fix; and it also appears from the fol-
lowing article that the very parties
who are interested in the enterprise
are not sa isfied that there is any
sense in it. The article is as follows:
There Is reason to expect better results from
the English expedition which will start for
the Arctic regions in the coming summer
than ere obtained from any Uf its predecess-
ors. Certainly, no exploring expedition for
FOlar seas before fiefed out has hal so much
money lavished upon it as tn $, and none has
been so vel nted TO profit by the accumu-
laed experience of the world in reference 10
Arctic explorations. The pal els relating to
the expedition have just been laid before Par
Lament, ana We are in possession for he first
time of all the particulars. Mr.. Disla.li short.
iy AFTER his accession to power last year Off
ciaily Informed the Admiralty that the Gov
ernment had resolved TO send an expedition
to explore the Arctic country and, If possible,
reach the pole. Since that time preparations
have been actively going Oh. A board of ma
val officers, experienced in Arctic navigation,
was formed FOR consultation g eat care was
exercised in the selection of a commanding
omcer. The SubinOrdinate officers scientific
assistants and crew have been picked from a
host al volunteers, the selection In each case
being decided by the physical and mental fit
ness oi the candidate for the special ork in
volved in Arctic neutrality-suspicious. in
this perilous labor being largely taken into
account. The advice of eminent men in all
departments OF science, as to the advantages
that may be derived from successful exaini-
natin Of the Polar regions has been invoke ed.
And to crown all, Parliament has made the
generous allowance OF nearly half a million
OF dollars 10 fit out the enterprise, and will
maintain IL on the same liberal scale.
The only advantage that we have
been able to discover is dependent en-
tirely upon the correctness of a theory
set forth by some modern philosopher
(his name we have forgotten) to the
effect that the accumulation of ice at
the North Pole was depressing that
end of the earth, and that it will even
tually become so heavy that the earth
will tip over and spill us all out. II
this theory should be favorably re-
ceived by the expedition, as We have
no doubt it will, we would respect
fully advise them, while up there, to
determine accurately the ratio of ac-
cumulation of ice and calculate pre-
cisely when the tipping of the earth
will take place, and advise us at once,
that we may prepare for the great
flop. The English Parliament car
send US check for this advice.

Scientific Phenomena.

SCIENCE deals with an apparent
world and the true reality of nature
remains beyond its grasp. "Phenom-
ena" is only learned word for zap
pearances," and when it is said "we
only know phenomena" we simply
mean, our observation extends only
to Appearances. 1t has been we'll said
that "Science wins It's triumphs in a
fairy land, and in fulfilling one vision
teaches us to recognize another"
Great discoveries and leaders in sci.
ence who are not tainted with egot-
ism, always bid us observe to how
small depth our knowledge reaches,
and how profound mystery hides
itself behind all they can teach us.
Professor OWEN says: "The ablest en-
deavors to penetrate to the beginning
of things do but carry us, when most
successful, few steps nearer that be-
ginning, and then leave us on the
verge of bOundless ocean of unknown
TRUTH" And Prof. FARADA says: ave
are not as yet permitted to see the
source Of physical power" Sir J.
HERsCHEL: "How far we may ever
be able to attain a knowledge of the
ultimate and inward process of nature
in the production of phenomena, we
have no means of knowing" Not.
withstanding all the vain boasting of
mans dominion over nature, they see
nothing beyond the show of things;
they catch the shadow, but they cam
not grasp the substance. We may,
indeed, like the physiognomist, ''deci-
pher something Of nature from her
countenance, but we cannot see the
workings of her inmost heart" Such
men feel the awe which the conscious
ness of something above sense and
above thought inspires, and they STEP
as timidly as one on the brink of q
deep, dark gulf. Truly, the problem
is dark and we only peer into a mys-
terious, fathomless gulf, when gazing
into nature beyond the region to
which our sense can carry us. That
gulf, however shadowy and mysteri.
Gus, is not a region of vacuity, but an
existence real. Though science does
not reveal to our senses the realities ol
L
that shadowy land, 1t points to it as un.
erring as the needle does to the pole. II
points us to the source of life anG
power, but meyer reaches it. For ex.
ample, the scientist can trace effect
back to cause, as in the telegraph; the
magnet attracts the needle, and he i,
ready to say, at is the power of mag
netism;" but by further pursuit hi
finds it is galvanism that attracts, ant
but one step farther he discovers that
galvanism is the effect of chemica
action, and this chemical affinity
refers him to something still be.
yond, and that to something else
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-04-13

Now he says, 1t is neither of these
that produces the effect, but something
that embraces them all. And what
ever road the scientist persues IN the
investigation of power, or life force,
it is always found to occupy one
unalterable position, and with
this idea of unalterable power, the
world presents to us a double aspect;
1t is world of things perceived and
one unpercievable. There seems to
be nothing substantial in what we
perceive, for the most permanent OBJ
jects we look upon, vanish out of sight
and spring up around US in otler
forms; all things are undergoing the
strangest transformation. 1t appears
indeed Like a fairy world, where
strange and unknown existances
lurk." Reviewing nature by the light
of science, we feel ourselves separated
from the very reality of things, by an
impenetrable barrier, and yet concious
that we are in the very midst of it,
and though incomprehensible, we
know it is the only reality. All scien-
lists have acknowledge its existence
yet beyond their sphere; it most flies
from them when they seem most near
to approach it. Where everything
is hidden mystery is not, for total
darkness precludes mystery. Neither
is there mystery where the clear light
reveals all things. alt is when the
dawning light comes feebly on" a
feeling of vague mystery creeps over
US, it is then the baffeled sight gathers
indistinct outlines of object, and fan
tastic visions present themselves.
Thus by the light which science Gre
ates have mysteries been revealed by
which we are forced to recognize un-
known realities. We accept this re-
velation as the richest boon which
science has ever bestowed on the world.
Thus has science, in the language of
SIR j. HERsCHIL: "Opened out vista
after vista, which seems to lead on
ward to the point, where the material
blends with, and is lost in the Spirit
ual and Intellectual" Perhaps, science
may never penetrate beyond this
blending point, where the "material is
lost in the spiritual, but what has al
ready been accomplished bids us hope
that it may reach the blending point
from many different directions of
unexplored territory. The dreams of
our ancestors, which were considered
to be the fruit of wild immagina-
ton, were but prophecies, the fulfil
ment of which we have witnessed.
The Railroad locomotive outstrips
the Giant-killer with his seven-lea-
gued boots. ALLADEN by rubbing his
ring could not communicate with the
Genii at the end of the earth as rapidly
as we can Telegraph, and the Teles-
cope brings into view the actions of
distant friends equal to the magic
mirror. Seeing what has been accom-
plished and brought into practical re-
ality, may We not hope that all our
dreams may some day become reali-
ties? Our highest asperations are but
prophices of what is yet to be fulfilled.

BERLIN, April llth. : The North
German Gazette (semi-officiaD says:
"The article in the Berlin Post con-
tains much truth i'm one respect, but is
connected with such erroneous views
that we must contradict it. Our in
ternational relations are by no means
so unfavorable as therein reported.
While the reorganization of the
French army is disquieting, it does
not aid in the solid establishment of
French forces, but is undertaken for
obvious purposes. The Post overrates
the influence of Papal power and the
Jesuits in Italy and Austria. Their
power is happily insufficient to pro-
duce good understanding between
the sovereigns and nations concerned"
The Gazette thinks the same may be
said to regard in France.

The Value Of School Houses.

Men are always eager to invest
money in any paying enterprise. 1t
is the duty of every man to make all
the money he can, honestly. Thrift
lessness is a sin no less than profanity.
"Be diligent in business" is both a
Divine and commercial Injunction.
Money, honestly acquired and used. is
one of life's greatest blessings.
Wrongly employed, it becomes a
curse. He who makes the most money
legitimately and uses it for the good
of humanity as well as his own, is a
benefactor. Such q man is public
spirited. He rises superior to the
petty claims of self and into vital
sympathy with the broader claims of
community and theState. He invests
his money, not simply because it will
pay him a dividend, but because it
will also benefit others. A man
should always strive to so invest as
that he may obtain the largest divi-
dends in an honest way. That which
is worth more than it costs should
ever be an object to engage capital.
Business men understand this; hence
they prefer to invest money in the
United States than in Mexico, in Los
Angeles than in Acapulco. The herds
and fiOcks of ABRAHAM were worth
more OH the plains than the city
property Of LOT in Sodom, because
the surroundings of ABRAHAM were
essentially moral, while those Of LOT
were licentious and wicked. The in
trinsic value Of the soil of the Nile is
doubtless much greater than that of
New England. Yet the poorest acre
in the latter is worth more for per-
manent occupancy than the same
amount of the richest land in Egypt.
Capitalists know these things. In
proportion AS licentiousness and law
lessness prevail, insecurity to prop
erty prevails. On the contrary, in
proportion to the vigorous moral con-
science that prevails, security to prop
erty prevails. This is clear to all.
Thus history and observation teach
that property is much more valuable
in Christian than unchristian coun-
tries. The former invites and secures
capital, the latter never. The strong
est evidences of a moral civilization,
such civilization as alone secures
property and makes its possession
stable are school houses and churches.
These things always add to the intrin-
sic value of property and cause it to
increase; while it is fact that the
percentage of such increase always
overbalances the cost of such edifices,
because they prove a general good.
When our High-schOol was built
every town lot i'm Los Angeles ac-
quired value much more than it had
before. Then let other school houses
be built and let churches be built and
still greater value will be given to our
city property by the outlay of money
for such purposes.
