A third report has been received from
rhe Nordenskjold Artic Expedition, dated
August 9th, at the mouth of the Lena,
August 9th, the expedition left Dickson e
| Harbor, and August 18th it passed Cape
Sterlegof, the farthest point ever reached
by vessel. The voyage now became very
difficult, the maps proved utterly deficient,
numerous islands we've met with not set
down in the maps, and the coast line was
in various places drawn fifty miles wrong.
Snow storms and dense mists set in, and at
times the ice blocks closed SO firmly around
the vessels that all progress was stopped.
Nevertheless, the voyage did not lack in
points of great charm especially was the
passage through Tairnyr Sound enchant-
ing. The sea was nearly clear of ice, and
the dark-green waters lay as smooth as
glass. The midnight sun hung low over
the horizon. and all the cliffs and castles of
ice stood colored blue, purple and crimson
white. Over this scene lay stiffness
which sent a mans voice miles and miles
and miles away, and the scratch of the
bears walking over the ice blocks was heard
far off. August 10Th the expedition pass
ed Cape Tscheljuskin, the northermost
pofnT or Asia, and Uho high snon-elad oiiaf
was saluted with five shots. In this Bay
of Tscheljuskin the vessels anchored.
Some hunting was done, and mound Of
stones was btlilt in which was deDOsited a
chest containing report of the progress of
the expedition. Then following the belt
of ice which here surrounds the coast of
the continent, the vessels arrived on Au-
gust 9th in the mouth of the Lena. One
of them ran mp the river to Jakootsk, and
thus the expedition continued eastward
toward the Strait of Behring, land within
two months We hope to be in Japan"

THE ANGELS SONG.

1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
TIE touch their harps of gold;
"Peace on earth, goodwill to men
From Heaven ALI gracious King"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloyen skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurl'd,
And still their heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world.
Above its ead and lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing.
And DER its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
But with the woe of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolrd
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring;
Oh! hush the noise, We men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who TOLD along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels singl
For 10! the days are Fastening on
The prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age OF gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing!

GARY's DISCOVERY. - The Boston
Transcript gives this terse statement of
Gary's discovery in magnetism: "The ex-
istence of natural line,' at which there is
self change of polarity in an induced
magnet; that is, that straight piece of
iron placed across the poles of magnet,
and near to their end, changes its polarity
while in the magnetic field, and before it
comes into contact with the magnet, actual
contact being guarded against This self
change of polarity of Gary's is effected by a
motion of lever through a distance of less
than an eighth of an inch: the change of
polarity necessary to keep up the electric
current in the present electric light ma
chimes is effected by entire revolutions; SO
that the economy of Gary's process of gen.
Grating electricity is as the difference be-
tween minute arc and an entire circle"

cd of making hole in plate glass: Make a
circle of clay or cement rather larger than
the intended hole; pour some kerosene into
the cell thus made, ignite it,place the plate
upon moderately hard support, and with
stick rather smaller than the hole requir-
ed, and hammer, strike rather smart

which may be smoothed with file. Cold

CONSUMPTION.
A CHANGE IN THE POPULAR BELIEF RE-
GARDING ITS DURABILITY.

The popular belief IN the incurability of
consumption, says the New York Times,
now seems to be on the road to complete
overthrow. This change in sentiment has
not been brought about by any new method
IN treatment, nor has there been any per-
ceptible enlargement in the number of
those now living who can claim that they
have had and have recovered from this dis
ease; but the evidence upon which the re-
vision of opinion is based is even more con-
elusive than that which could by any posi-
bility be obtained from any of these two
sources. 1t is simply this, that post NOR
tenn examinations have revealed The fact
that pulmonary phthisis is a complaint of
much greater frequency than has been COM
monty supposed, and that multitudes of
people have had the disease, and have been
practically cure of it, who have never SO
| much as suspected the cause of their ILL
ness. In series of examinations made
some time since at the hospital at Edin-
burg, it was found that the lungs of no less
than one-third of those who died when over
40 years of age were in a condition that
could be accounted for in no other way
than by the supposition that at some period
in their lives consumption had existed, and
had afterward been checked or cured. Por-
tions of the lungs had been destroyed, but
the cavities formed had been healed by con-
traction and adhesion of their walls, or the
dlsintegrated substance had been shut in
by the formation of fibrous tissue. In the
records of post mortem examinations at
Salpetriere Hospital, at Paris, similar ex-
perience is found, except that in this case
the age is advanced to 60 years and over,
and of this class, more than one-half were
shown to have suffered from consumption
at some period of their lives. There may
be nothing new in this to well informed
medical men, but to the on-professional
reader this information can not fail to be
reassuring. The disease is to great ex
tent hereditary, and there are probably
thousands of people in this country who
now and then are visited by the gloomy
thought that they are at any time to fall
victims to the deadly Inheritance. If these
can be made to believe that they have al
ready passed through the ordeal, suppo-
sition which, in the majority Of cases, would
probably be true one, no slight addition
will be made to the sum total of human
happiness.
