Tho Arctic Problems.

Captain Delaney, of the Arctic mail
steamer Kite, says Since we loft Main,
n vast body of prodigiously heavy field
ice has swept southward from Bailin's
Bay, through Davis's Straits, extending
eastward on the one hand toward the
shores of Greenland, and westward on
the other all along the coast of Labra-
dor. Between Independent Harbor and
Dumping there is a fleet of over 400
fishing vessels literally imprisoned in icy
walls and unable to effect an escape
either in northerly or southcrly direc-
ton. Tho Kite broke through tho ice-
nip pressing against the land only after
continuous ramming of the smaller foes
during twelve successive hours. When
leaving Battle Harbor to proceed on his
northerly course Captain Delaney ex-
pressed a decided opinion that he would
not be able to advance any further north
than Holton Harbor, which lies about
twenty-five miles South of Cape Harri-
son. Although tho Kite is Oh Arctic
whaling and sealing steamer she is not
fitted, even with all her enormous
strength, to cope with this terrible sen
OF tloc ice tlnt is now prccipitating itself
into the North Atlantic basin. Captain
Delaney describes rs continent of ice
the unbrokon, pallid, congealed ocean
that stretches away eastward from that
portion of the Labrador coast where the
four hundred vessels arc more complete
~ blockaded, than if they were detained
thore by hostile naval squadron at Bat
tie Harbor. The weather. is described
rs of absolute wintry coldness down to
the 25th ultimo. There was frost every
night sufficient to solilify congcalcd
water, and on several days previously
the atmosphere and water were so bit
terly ana intensely cold as to obstruct
the fishermen very materially in their
fishing operations.
Taking, thon, the two reliable reports
OF Captain Delaney into consideration,
the one written Mt Main and published
in the Herald of tho Goth of July, and
the other at Battle Harbor, separated,
too, in point Of time by M interval Of
somo fourteen days, we cannot but rca-
sonably conclude that condition of
things almost the very opposite of that
now cscribed obtains in the region Mt
present being traverscd by the Arctic
exploring steamer Proteus. Ice and
frost are the ruling phenomena observed
down to within one bare week of the pro-
sent date and rs far south as tho fifty
second parallel of north latitude, whilo
on the other hand, northward of Main
and below Cape Chudbcrgh, ice fields
formed the exception even as early as
the first weeks of June, and the atmos-
phere was of genial summer mildness.

Then up from out his little heart came yelling,

AS pierced the pcrfumed air of early morning,
Ascending even to the throne of Jove.

The song that marked the BIRDS Overwhelming

And vowed that he should ever wear O token,
That he had sympathized and sent relief.

Tho Yellow SVator Lily.

John James Audubon first discovered
the yellow water lily in Florida, and
mentioned it but none of tho botanists
of the time could ever find it, and it was
concluded that Audubon must have been
mistaken. A few years ago, however,
Mrs. Treat rcdiscovercd the plant in
Florida. Since then specimens of it
have been sent to various parts of the
world. 1t is, however, rare plant, and
until this summer has never been known
to bloom away from it's native home.
There is another specimen now in bloom
Mt the Kew Gardcns, London. In shape
this rnro flower resembles tho we'll.
known white water lily. 1t is smaller,
however. The blossom is of bright
canary yellow, measuring nearly two
inches in diameter. The leaves are very
beautiful. They arc heart-shaped and
variegated in color. The top is green,
aocked with purple, and the under side
is bright purple red."
