CENTURIES ago there were fiourishing
colonies or Northmen on the eastern
shores Of Greenland. These suddenly
disappeared about 800 yeors ago. 1t has
been supposed THAT the black death kill
ed the settlers, and for many years past
the country has been rendered inaccessi-
BILE by thick layers of ice, the glaciers
having moved forward enough to cover
once fertile districts. Efforts at explo-
ration have beeH unsuccessful, but the
Rev. J. Brodbeck, a Moravian MISSION
airy, last summer discovered beautiful
plain and the ruins of Morse settlements.
The walls of stone houses are still to be
discovered up as high as the eighty
third degree of latitude. At one time
there were 10 villages and twelve
churches in region where now all is
desolation. Mr.. Brodbeek's discovery is
to be followed by further investigations,
and one of the most stubborn mysteries
tuf history is likely to be solved.

Winters That You Read AbOnt.

Scientific American.
The following statistics of the good
old winters are curious. In 40S the
Black Sea was entirely frozen over. In
76I, not only the Black Sea, but the
Straits of the Dardanelles, were frozen
over; and snow in some places rose so
feet high. In s22 the great rivers of
Europe-the Danube and Elbe, etc
were so hard frozon as to bear heavy
wagons for month. In $50 the Adri-
attic was frozen the crops totally failed,
and famine and pestilence closed the
year.. In 1867 the most Of the travellers
were frozen to death on the road. In
1135 the Po was frozen from Cremona
to tie sea the wine casks we're burst,
and even the trees split by the action of
the frost with immense noise. In 1886
the Danube was frozen to the bottom,
and remained long in that state. In
1916 the crops wholly failed in Germa-
ny; wheat, which some years before sold
III GtlSldDu dG OLA oullluSo IuO qudA VOL {,
rose to go. In 1889 the crops failed in
Scotland, and such famine ensued that
the poor were reduced to feed on grass,
and many perished miserably in the
fields. The successive winters of 1882
'S2, 's3 were uncommonly severe. 1t
once showed forty days without inter
ruption. In 146s the wine distri ributed to
the soldiers in Flanders was cut with
hatchets. :. In 1884 the winter was ex-
cessively cold. Most of the hollies were
killed. Coaches drove along the Thames,
the ice of which was II inches thick. In
100 occurred a cold winter. The frosts
penetrated three yards into the ground.
In 1715 booths were erected and fairs
held on the Thames. In 1744 and 1745
the strongest ale in England, exposed to
the air, was covered in less than, fifteen
minutes with ice an eighth of inch
thick. In 1909, and again in 1922, the
winters were remarkably cold. In 1914
there was fair on the frozen Thames.
