THE Commissioner of Agriculture
entertains such serious appreheusions
In relation 70 the destruction of forests
that he recommends an appropriation Of
$4,000 for the prosecution OF inquiries in
regard to it. Many thoughtful people
share In his alarm, although when one
considers the vast and unexplored for
ests which still cover great portions OF
our continent, it would seem that a
dearth Of timber was an evil OF which
we at present need have very little fear,
In the Eastern and Middle States, how
ever, the subject is becoming one Of vital
Importance, for the scarcity Of timber is
not only being seriously felt, but the
influence of its absence upon the rain.
fall is also fully realized. These reasons
are undoubtedly sufficient to justify the
granting OF the appropriation asked for.

you that when those rascals began to

EUROPE AND ASIA CIRCUMNAyI
--..s.n GARLF

The persistent endeavors to reach the
North Pole by navigation through Baf-
dn's Bay into the Arctic Ocean are well
known to the public. The. fate Of Sir
John Franklin and his adventurous
Grew, the discoveries OF our own in
trepid DR.. Kane, and the recent explora-
tions of our fellow-townsmaD, Captain
Hail, have thrown peculiar and ro-
mantle interest around those ice-bound
regions which have so long detied the
energies and perseverance Of naviga-
tors ambitious to stand upon the polar
axis Of the earth.
Recent explorations Of the Arctic
Ocean to the northWard OF the conti-
nents OF Europe and Asia have at
tracted public attention to marked
degree. 1t is more than a year ago since
we took occasion In the columns of the
STAR to notice the voyage and explora-
tions OF Professor Vordepskiold, the
eminent Swedish scholar, in the Arctic
Ocean along the coasts of Nova Zembla
and Russian Siberia. The discoveries
Of Vordenskiold as reported on his re-
turn to Europe went far to establish the
reasonable certainty of practicable
route for commercial purposes from
the scandinavian peninsula eastward
through the Arctic Ocean to Behring's
Straits and the Pacific.
The important discoveries and obser-
Vations Of Prof. Vordenskiold have re-
now communicated by Captain Wig
gins recently returned to St. Petersburg
from voyage in the Arctic Ocean along
the coasts OF Siberia. Capt. Wiggins is
e an Englishman commanding a merchant
g vessel under the Russian flag. His ves-
Iel was small one of only forty tons
bnrthen, and capable of making explo-
:radons through rivers into the interior
OF the countries bordering on that Arctic
Ocean. 1t was on this account that his
: discoveries were considered OF the ut
most Importance; SO much so, indeed,
that public honors were shown him at
b.. Petersburg, where, on arrival, his
little vessel was visited by the Imperial
family OF the Car, the most distin-
5gpished OF the Russian nobility, and
great crowds of people.
r. Captain Virgins had penetrated into
the interior OF. Siberia through the two
great rivers, the Obi and the Yenessi,
both emptying Into the Arctic Ocean
through gulfs running deeply into the
country. Through the Yenessi he pro.
ceeded southwark towards the great
Lake BaikaL, until he g1ined a point a,
less than one hundred and fifty miles
