Ice In the Arctic Regions.

The precise object of the Austrian
Polar expedition was not particularly
that of ceacbipg high latitudes, but of
exploring the large unknown sea north
of Siberia. For year and half the
explorers had constant opportunities
closely to observe the behavior and
formation of the packed ice. The phe-
nomenon is instructive, as it is the
same in the whole of the Arctic regions.
With the exception of land-ice, which
cllngs to the coasts and never reaches
far out into the sea, all ice-icebergs as
well rs tields-is in constant motion,
winter and summer; and this, as has
been shown, is through the influence
Of winds. The motion, however, is n
different one almost with every field,
aud thus certain pressure results
wherever two fields touch; this natural
ly leads to the breaking up of the fields,
and the contraction of the ice, during
sudden low temperature plays its part
in similar way. If one c Insiders the
great extent of fields. sometimes of
many miles, aud their enormous masses,
one can easily imagine the colossal
forces which are active in these phe-
nomena, and the greatness of their eff
1ects. When two fields meet, n combat
body to body ensues, often lasting only
a few minutes, but sometimes even for
days and weeks. The edges are then
turned up on both sides, upwards and
downwal DIS, an irregular wall of ice con-
sisting of wildly mixed blocks begins to
build itself, the pressure increas, S
more and more, masses of ice eight feet
long and broad are lifted thirty to forty
feet high, and then fall to make room
for others. At last one of the fields
begins to shift itself for some distance
underneath the other one; often they
separate for while, only to renew the
struggle. But the end Of it always is
that the intense cold unitcs them all
into one solid mass single field re.
suits from tho two, and the next storm:
or quick change of temperature cracks
the new field IN some other direction,
the pieces renewing the old struggle.
This is the origin of the ice-fieIds,
which are quite irregular above and
below, sometimes only consisting of
blocks that kave frozen together, and
filling up the Who'll. arctic region as So
called pack ice.

An Apparent Resurrection.

The following is related by tho
Augusta (Maine) Journal
:" A young mau in the town of Vas
salboro, IN this county, was suffering
IN the last stages of consumption, the
disease which had insidiouslv ard
stealthlly brought him to the yerc;, of
tho grave. For several weeks he had
been entirely PROSTATE and unable to
speak, even to articulate a SYLLABLE.
He became so oppressed for breath
that he compelled his attendants to
raise the windows in his room. put ont
the fires, and resort to every means to
obtain fresh air. On the 18Th inst. the
young man died. Friendly hands pre-
pared the poor, emeciated body for the
burial but, just us tho attending
trends were arranging the remains for
the casket, there appeared unmistaka-
pie evidences of returning life in what
mad seemed to them an inanimate mass
OF clay, and it was discovered that the
heart had begun again it's slow and
measured palpltati6ns, the pulse throb-
nea, ana the~young man arose from

those who stood appalled, in the death
chamber. There was no huskiness in
his voice, he appeared lively and active.
said he ielt not the slightest pain, but
to nse his own language, I feel inst rs
well % ever did," At his reauest the
neighbors were all called in, who crowd
ed the house for hours, declaring that
the recovery of the man was equal TO
any miracle recorded in the Scriptures.
He told this startled assemblage of his
friends and neighbors that, as he died
all things seemed dark, but only for an
instant !; his eyes suddenly opened to n
new world, the real heaven, which had
been SO many times in his thoughts and
nad given him so much comfort in his
last week of pain and sorrow. He stood
upon an eminencc which overlooked ;,
vast and beautiful plain; the magni6.
cent plain stretchc farther than his
enlarge d vision could penetrate. and
he described it in language which. to
his moral auditors seemed extravagant
III the extreme. But the revivified life
OF the young man was pot to continue
long Before night he again resigned
himself to death. The bony was kept
reasonable length of timo and buried
on Sunday last, the funeral being large.

Natural Resources of Egypt.

Egypt has bnt single natural re.
sOnrce-the Nile. There is no other
river in the country: nor has this one
branch or affluent between its mouth
and the Nubian desert. Besides the
almost shelterless date-paims, there a,e
no palms, the few wooded parks planted
by order of MehemetA Ali, the ornamental
trees of the cities, of which Cairo and
It's suburbs contain forty thousand, and
the mulberry trees raised for silk-worms,
scarcely deserving to be mentioned in
this connection. There is little or no
RAIN, the agriculture of the country
depending almost entirely upon the ir-
rlgating canals connected with the Nile
Egypt proper consists of Lower, Mid
die, and Upper Egypt. IT contains
l6O. .S66, 500 acres of area, and popula-
tion, in 1871, of 5,203, ,405. The arabic
area of Egypt is confined substantially
to the innndablo portion Of tho Valley
of tho Nile. AS the rivor closely hugs
the hills and palisades on it's right
bank, this area is nearly altogether on
tho left. In some places tho arabic
lands are eleven miles wide; in others
they dwindle to nero strip of bank.
For the most part, however, this area
extends westward from the river about
five to eight miles, where it is tcrm1n.
ated by the Libyan hills and degcrt.
Every year it is extended by the rise of
the river upon its own bed. This rise
was found to be, ut the close of the last
century, 1850 inches per century. If
the estimates worked by the khedive
and his relatives, or the mobiles of his
court, be deducted, there will not re-
main in Egypt over one. half an acre OF
arabic land to each narson opJ a,,an
if the land cultivated Mt present were
divided equally among all, there would
