The Change of Climate In Europe.

| A Swedish paper, just received publishes an
interesting article under the heading why is
the climate Of Europe growing colder:" The
article states that in the bay of Komenok, near
Koma, in Greenland, fossil and very charac.
terstic remains of palm and other trees have
been discovered lately, which tend to show
that in these parts formerly rich vegetation
must have existed. But the ice period of ge-
ologists arrived, and, as q consequence of the
decreasing temperature, this fine vegetation
was covered with ice and snow The sinking
! in the temperature, which moved in q southcr-
ly direction, as can be proved by geological
data, that is, the discovery of fossil plants of
certain species, seems to be going on in our
daysalso. During the last few years the ice
has increased far toward the south; thus be.
tween Greenland and the Arctic Sea colossal
masses Of ice have accumulated. On European
coasts navigators now frequently find ice in
latitudes where it never existed before during
the summer months, and the cold reignng up
on the Scandinavian peninsula this summer re-
suits from the masses Of ice which are floating
in the region where the Gulf stream bends to-
ward our coasts. This is repitition of the OBJ
servations made in the cold summer of 1865
The unaccustOmed vicinity Of these masses of
ice has rendered the climate of Iceland so cold
that corn no longer ripens there, and the Ice
landerS in fear of a coming famine and icy
climate begin TO found new home in North
America.-N0tJft.

ORIGIN of Some Famous Legends.

Not among the different members OF the
great Aryan family only, are the germs OF many
of our best known stories discoverable They
seem to belong to humanity. Prof. Fiske, OF
| Harvard University, noticing how the will
lam Tell" legend 0or it is a legend, and that
which among the Welsh celebrates the death OF
Gelert's faithful hound, and a good many others,
besides, aIe found everywhere says: "We must
admit, then, that these fresde tales have been
handed down from parent to child for more
than hundred generations that the primitive
Aryan cottagcr as he took his evening meal OF
yava and slipped his fremented mead, listened
with his children to the stories Of Boots and
| Cinderella and the Master Thief in the days
when the squat Laplander was still master OF
Europe and the dark-skinned Sundra was as
vet unmoested in the Punjab." True; but may
we not go further, and say that finding these
tales or counterparts among Lulus and Mon
gols and Malays and red Indians, we must
either pronouncs them to be Inmate ideas or
else hold that man had invented them in the
old time when the difference between Ary-
ans and non-Aryans had not grown up? Sir
H. Rawlinson seems to prove, from the earliest
Assyrian remains, thaat, lin the beginning,
Hamite and Shemlte and Japhetian were all
one-that even what atterward became the
Aryan tongues were then "agglutinatiye," like
the red Indian Of today Some one, too, has

boot legs are devourcd by them with Il zest
and relish which fills the city-bred purp wi'h

ceiyed all that came until his back yard was
so full of them that they were falling over 'he

He telegraphed to that conductor to put OH

He thinks one yalicr dog can do all the bust,
