Thu Polar Sea

Arctic travellers are all united in one opin.
ion, says an English writer, that birds have
told us of regions beyond the frozen seas OF
the North, where, from some cause or other,
the climate is mllder, and the ocean or soil
more generous. This has been held by many
navigators, and each succeeding explorer has
confirmed the wonderful story. When Kane
in his small brig penetrated, under unusually
favorable circumstances, TO the cighteth de-
gree of latitude, he dispatched Mr.. Merton
with the sledges TO reconnolter, and that able
man found, after many battles with the ice,
that at the eighty second degree the lcebergs
and icehoats over which he had been travel
ing became weaker, the surface rotten, and the
snOw.drifts softer until the dogs, terror strick-
en- refused 10 advance, and with much trouble
and danger they made their escape TO the
coast. Mr.. Merton then reflected that great
black line he had seen was open water far
away to the NORTH and the unwonted appear
ance of wild fowl which had been strangers
alongthe dreary icepacks to the south, con.
vinced him of the accuracy Of his belief.
But the aquatic birds were here in thous-
ands and they seemed to be more numerous
in the distant mysterious North. The brent
goose, the cider and the king duck were so
who accompanied the expedition killed two
with single rifle ball. Here we find curl.
Gus clew that the birds have given us to the
mysterious north pole. From where this was
seen to the north pole is about 4SO nautical
miles; and it may be that milder climates,
shut out by mountains Of ice-ranges, hide
what would fill US with wonder. Brent geese,
which seemed to have prevailed IN vast throngs,
and may be known by their wedge.shaped
: flights, live on marine plants and mollusca.
They are not often seen inland, unless flying
from one estuary to another, and their pres
ence In these high ATTITUDES is sure indica.
ton of an open sea and feeding grounds quite
unknown further south on the dreary ice re-
gions that have so long batilcd explorers.

women May be Masters In Chancery.

We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Schu.
chardt, daughter Of Ex-Governor Dougherty,
the woman Master in Chanccry of Union
county, has at last won her case. Judge Har.
ker, of the Circuit Court, paid her the compli.
ment of saying that she was the most compe.
tent Master in his circuit, but held that as she
was woman she could not legally hold the
office. She appealed to the Appellate Court,
composed of Judges Casey, Baker and Wall,
and they, without giving any reason, or writ
ing an opinion, affirmed the judgment of
Judge Harker. Mrs. Schuchardt again ap.
pealed and took the case to the Supreme Court,
and on last Tuesday that court, by Judge Schol.
field, reversed the judgments OF The two courts
below and held that woman could hold the
office of Master In Chancery. One by one the
old rules of law which prevent woman from
standing side by side upon an equality with
man, are being removed by the liberal enact
ments of the law.makIng power and construc.

The La Sale Press: Smelling zinc ore by
means of coal gas instead Of applying the fire d-
rect, appears to be the most approved method
now in use. The Illinois Zinc Company several
years ago adopted this method in portion Of
their furnaces and at the Matthiessen Il Hegeier
works they have also used the process for some
time on very extensive scale. At present there
is in course of erection another new and very
large furnace for smelling ores, which is to be
heated by gas also. 1t is claimed that a given
quantity of coal used in this way will produce
over twice as much heat for smelling purposes
as by the old process"

An Illinois woman was unwilling, on mar.
rylng second time, to give up the alimuny
which she had been receiving from her first
husband from whom she had been divorced
She brought suit to compel the continuance
Of payments, but the Supreme Court decided
against her. Treating almony," said Judge
Scott, "as the equivalent of that obligation for
support which arises IN favor of the wife out
of the marriage contract, and which Is lost
when tina. contract Is annulled by the decree,
she obtains the same obligation tor support by
a second marriage. 1t is unreasonable that
she should have the equivalent of an o5llga.
ton for support by way Of allmony from q
former husband and an obligation from pres
ent husband for an adequate support at the
same time"

Cough and the Students.

An amusing story 10 told OF John B. Cough
when he went to address the students on tenn
ance. A few evenings before an eminent
was to have delivered lecture at Oxford
A. gland) on THE Evils of Tobacco" The
boys got into the hall an hour beforehand each
with what DR.. Carroll drolly emphasized as a
I'd lege pipe" IN his mouth. The tire for
ii lecture arrived, but if the lecturer did it
VI never discOvered-he was not visible
Il bugh the fog. The students sent word to
M. Cough when he came that they wouldn't
have any temperance, and advised him not to
persist IN lecturinP. But he went to the hall
For twenty minutes he spoke Ia pantomime
amid the deatening cat.calls of the boys
Finally he stepped forward, demanded Brit
sh fair play, and offered to whip every one of
he five hundred singly. This offer was loud.
cheered and promptly accepted, and a big,
ixfoot athlete was sent unon the stage.
ough, who is little man, cked off as the
Jig fellow approached, and blamed: my
Friends, you evidently misunderstood me. This
