Arctic ExpIora ion.

Arctic exploration is not a ev thing.
It begins with Sebastian Cabot, who
discovered Newfoundland and landed
at Labrador. Henry Hddsop found and
gave his name to the great bay which is
one OF the most striking features OF
British America There q mutinous
crew put him in an open boat with a
few faithful adherents and left him to
his fate. Vitus Behring, the Danish
explorer, who found that Kamschatka
did not connect with japan, succeeded
one hundred years ago in pushing
his ship through the straits that
bears his name but his vessel
was wrecked, and he died
on q desolate island. Captain Cook
reached these straits thirty-three years
afterward, but was forced blck by the
ice to die on the Sandwich Islands,
Ross and Parry made few discoveries,
but at a terrible expense OF suffering and
risk of life. The story of Sir John
Franklin is familiar household tale
how he set out in the Erebus and the
Terror with 1873 picked men, and all
perished; and eight expeditions were
sent out to find and relieve him at great
COstJ Uub uO IoGuInps Aho OliunOtA ga
pedition, sent out by Henry Grinnell
and George Peabody in 1858, under the
heroic Kaue, was more fortunate than its
predecessors, and brought back the ac-
counts of the Open Polar sea which
have stimulated the ambition and curi-
osity of hundreds of navigators since.
But, though Kane lived to return, he
died of the effects of the exposure. Sir
Hugh Willoughby and his crew starved
to death, and Barentz, the Dutch ex
plorer, perished in the same way. These
are only a small fraction of the human
sacrifices to that Arctic idol whose icy
affairs are covered with the debris of
wrecked ships and the bleached bones
of brave and devoted men, sent up into
the jaws of destruction to discover moth

Moisture and Peach Raising.

Observations in this and foreign coun
tries show that peach trees attain their
largest size, live the greatest number of
years, are freest from disease, and pro-
duce the largest amount of fruit when
planted on land lying quite near body
of water. The most favorable position
for a peach orchard is lying east OF the
water. as the prevailing winds favor the
the Delaware peninsula, which COM
prises the State OF Delaware and the
eastern portion of Maryland and Vir'
ginia, constitutes the finest peach.grow-
ing region in this country. 1t has water
on two sides of it, and though the
ground is often dry the air very seldom
is. The trees planted there attain a
healthy growth, live many years and are
generally productive. Peach growing
has been popular on this peninsula for a
period of over 200 years. Most of the
islands on the Atlantic cost that have q
good soil produce fine peaches. Michi-
gan is a great peach-gro wing State, not
withstanding its high latitude. 1t is
nearly surrounded by water and con-
tains very large number of lakes, riy-
ers and small streams. Good peaches
are raised on both shores of the lower
great lakes. The banks of the Ohio
river are very favorable for peachrais-
ing. Peaches can be raised ir most
parts of the country that lie south of
the forty-second degree ncrth latitude,
while the soil contains most OF its origi-
nal fertility, but the trees will not
generally remain healthy or be produc-
tive after the soil becomes impover-
ished, if the climate is quite dry. The
peach contains lar ger proportion OF
moisture than any of the large fruits

Gardens on the Roofs.

A suggestion made by us long ago
has been adopted in the plan for the
elegant cooperative apartment house
which is to be erected this season at the
northwest corner OF Madison avenue
and Fifty second street by eight Gsso-
ciates, among them being Mr.. Fletcher
Harper and other we'll known gentle
men. A summer garden is to be erected
on the roof, which is to be tiled and
provided with fountain to sprinkle the
tiles and keep them cool in the warpest
weather. The building is to be of ths
first GLASS, as may be inferred from its
cost, $3.50, 600 Its dimensions are to
be seventy six by ninety-five feet, and it
will be nine stories high. The extent
of its roof will be sufficient for large
garden, and its elevation will make it
delightful as an observatory, while the
growth of leaves and flowers will make
It charming resort at all times for the
occupants Of the structure. There is
no reason why the roofs OF New York
should remain barren and the people
whom they shelter be without the com
fort of a spot where they can az any
time look npon the growth and bloom

A Lapland SnowstOrm.

and the mercury approached zero. he
says:
"The fine snow few so thickly that al
times the atmosphere became almost
dark. 1 could not even see my own
animal. The fine snow dust
was getting through the open
spaces of the mask into my eyes.
The small particles then adhered to
each other, gathering on my mustache,
eyebrows, eyelashes and hair, and at
last forming a mask of ice which blind
ed me. Every few minutes l had to
break this that it should not become 80
thick that I would not be able to see.
The ice was scarcely removed when 1t
would form again, causing ne great
pain whenever l broke it. Suddenly

what appeared to be figures of
reindeer and men. They wei standing
still, afraid to move farther, and my
animal stopped in their midst. l shall

How Character Grows.

Many people seem to forget that
character grows ; that it is not some
thing to put on ready-made with
womanhood or manhood but day by
day, here little and there little, grows
with the growth, and strengthens with
the strength, until good or bad, It
becomes almost q coat Of mail.

reliable, conscientious. yet clear
headed and energetic. When DO you
suppose be developed all these admiFa-
BILE qualities2 Whom he was 9

the morning, works, plays, studies, and
we will tell you just what kind Of a man
he will make. The boy that is too late
at breakfast, late at school, stands
poor chance of being prompt man.
TIE boy who neglects his duties, be
they ever so small, and then excuses
himself by saying. "I forgot; didn't

and the boy who finds pleasure in the
suffering Of weaker things will never be

while every performance was so systematical-

as did the lyrical strains of David when

He'll Fire Rock.

At meeting of the San Francisco Micro

State Mineralogist, read the following In
teresting paper: "Some time since ID. b.
Huntley, of the Geological Corps of the
Tenth Census IF the United States, brought
to the State Mining Bureau q mineral, with
the statement that it had shown certain Pc
culiaritiee which led the miners to call 1t by
the rather startling name of He'll fire rock.
The property known to mineralogists as
phosphorescence is not confined to one min
eral specious, nor is it very uncommon.
But in this specimen it is 30 strangely mark.
ed that there is some excuse for the refusal
on the part of some of the miners to work in
the mine. When striking their picks into
this formation flashes Of light were seen,
which they regarded with superstitious
alarm. The locality in detail is Shenandoah
mine, Snakecreek district, Wasatch County,
Utah. 1 ,.f ltf
"a chemical examination shows this min
eral to be an impure dolomite. It is inter-
esting, not only from its remarkable phos-
phorescence when rubbed with any hard
substance In the dark, but from its besuti.

scope and the ease with which It can be re-

| crushing it between the fingers. In Cleve'
lands Mineralogy we find 1t stated that
some varieties of dolomite are phosphoresc
ent in the dark, either by friction or when
thrown on shovel which had been allowed
to cool just before the point of redness."
The lights being turned down, Mr.. Hank
produced the phosplorescence beautifully
by scratching the specimen with knife
blade. 1t was of bright reddish yellow O
orange color, and it was clearly seen how
miner could be agitated by striking such in
fernal material in his subterranean walks.
