saying that 81 pounds Of corn will pro.

requires about 81 pounds Of corn for its

TIE ANTARCTIC REGIONS.

A lecture was delivered in the City
hall, Glasgow, on Thursday night by
Sir WyviIle Thomson on the condition of
the antartic regions. Sir William Thorn
son presided. Sir WyvilIe Thomson said
he intended to direct attention to some
of the peculiarities in the physical condi-
tiOns Of the antartic regions, SO as to put
him in better position to contrast them
with those of the arctic regions On COM
ing near the area Of the icebergs in the
southern hemisphere, the bottom OF the
sea was found to consist OF clay mixed
with very fine particles OF gravel, and in
many cases mixed with large pebbles
and sometimes with large masses Of
stone. There was no doubt that all
those deposits were due to icebergs, the
matter falling to the bottom as they
melted. The bergs they saw to the south
and breaking down and melting little
further to the north were prismatic
blocks riven from the edge of the great
antartic ice sheet. The qualification of
the icebergs, he believed, was due to sue
Cessive aCCUmulatiOns OF snow upon a
nearly level surface. Taking the area
within the pafalleI 70 south, they had |
not evidence that the 100000 square
miles were continuous land the pre-
sumption would seem to be that the area
was greatly broken up, or at all events
was rendered less compact ut the places
where the warm currents were diverted
TO the southwark. The curious question
arose, would they ever be able to reach
the south pole He thought the an
swer must be unhesitatingly in the mega
tive. ROss's sOuthermOst point was up
wards of 700, and Graham land 200
miles from the south pole. The remain
der appeared to be a perpendicular cliff
of ice $50 TO 250 feet in height, without
shelter, kept in motion by the gales, and
a great portion Of it subject to high
winds and inccssant falls of snow. They
had not learnt that the north pole, il not
actually inaccessible, was much more diff
tcult of access than was imagined, and
they could only anticipate disasters a
hundred times multiplied should the
Iouth pole become the goal of rivalry {
among the natiOns.-Sootsman.

OPIUM H-IBIT.

We have some startling inquiries ant
statements on this subject. The use O

the reports often heard be true. For some
time it was spoken of as a secret but
gradually the truth has come out, until
in these days it is quite frequently the
case that "such and such an one are
"opium eaters" In China, the emperor
attempted, years ago, to break it up in
his elOminions, but the British govern
ment made war on the egots of that mon-
arch, and compelled him to admit large
quantities of it into his dominions.
In the east tits very much used as a
means of intOxicatiOn, and for which Pur'

was about three o'clock on Wednesday
morning. Nothing further was found
