The GREELY CoLoNy.-In connection with
the gift of the Alert by the British govern
ment, and the proposed Greedy relief expedi-
tion, these facts in regard to the Greely col
ony are of interest: Lieut.. A. W. Gleason
of the Fifth United States Cavalry acting
signal officer, with Lieuts F. F. Kislingsbury
aud James b. Lockwood and 10 non-commis-
stoned officers and men, were landed by the
Proteus at Lady Franllin bay, and establish
ed at Discovery harbor one of the IL polar
stations which the leading governments of the
world had agreed to maintain within the Arc
tic zone to make Simultaneous scientific OBJ
servations. The party was one of the best
equipped that ever went north and il had am
pie supplies for two years, while the region
was found to be plentifully supplied with
game. Tho supplies were probably exhaust
ed year ago, unless made to last longer by
the procuring of fish and game. Lieut.. Gree
ly, the commander of the station, is native
of Massachusetts,, entered the army during
the war OF the rebellion as a private, was bre-

Few people have an adequate idea of the
bigness of Texas. The western and north
western part of the state, being but sparsely
settled, comprises but one Congressional dis
trict, which contains about 122, 600 square
miles-equal to the entire area of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and Ohio. More than this, the state
could also swallow New York, Pennsylvania
and Indiana, and still have II, 900 square miles
left unoccupied. 1t is larger than the whole
of France, and larger than England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales combined.

George Adams Of wolverhampton, Eng,
lately found himself in Liverpool sans sous,
and determined TO get home by a new and
original method Of cheating the railroad COM
pany. He procured two stout pieces Of rope,
which he fastened to the axles Of the carriage
leaving moose vt the end Of each. Into one
moose he put his legs while he inserted his
shoulders into the other. In this position he
hung when the train started. The train was
an express, and did not stop until Crowe was
reached, which is about 20 miles from Liver
pool. He was rather uncomfortable when
the train began TO move but when it got into
full swing, he had real torture aud when he
reached Orowe he was nearly dead with
fright. Here he was taken into custody. To
the magistrate who adjudicated on the case,
he explained that his sensations when sway.
ing to and fro we're something awful, and the
effect Of the sleepers as they rushed past him
nearly robbed him Of reason, and he Twas
afraid that every moment the rope would slip
from his shoulders and hang him" The mag
istrate decided that he had had enough pun
ishment, and, remsrking that he was not like
ly to repeat the experiment, sent him about
his business.

TIE PANAMA CANAL. The actual situation
of affairs upon this canal, according to the
Revue Scientifque, is as follows: Out OF the
80, 900, 600 cubic metres of material that must
be excavated, only $500, 900 had been remov-
ed up to the 18th of October last, at which
date more than 10, 600 workmen were employ
ed but it is expected that, now the bad sea
son is over, 100000 cubic metres will be
taken out per month, while the working force
will be increased to -, 900. The port at Co.
Ion is almost finished. We may still hope,
adds the writer, that 1889 will see the inaugu-
ration of the Panama canal.

The last subject for which / claim admis-
sion TO the magic circle of the liberal arts is
natural science. All the subjects which the
sixteenth century decided were liberal, and
all the subjects which / have hitherto dis
cussed are. studied in books but natural sci
ence is to be studied not in books. but in
things The student of language, letters,
philosophy, mathematics history, or politi-
cal economy reads books or listens to the
words of his teacher. The student of natur-
al science scrutinizes, touches, weighs, meas
ures, analyses, directs and watches things.
BY these exercises his powers of observation
and Judgment are trained, and he acquires
the precious habit of observing the appear
ances, transformations and processes of ma
ture. Like the hunter and the artist, he has
open eyes and an educated judgment in see
ing. He is at home in some large tract OF
of natures domain. Finally he acquires the
scientific method Of study IN the held where
that method was originally perfected l
maintain that the young science which has al
ready given to all sciences new and better
spirit and method deserves to be admitted
with all possible honors to the circle OF the
liberal arts, and that a study fitted to train
faculties of tho highest value, both to the in
dividual and to society, which are not trained
by the studies now chiefly pursued in youth
ought to be admitted on terms OF perfect
equality to the academic curriculum.
The wise men of the fifteenth century took
the best intellectual and moral materials ex-

lures, metaphysics. mathematics and syste-
matte theology, and made of them the sub

"Voices Of the street" in the Pioneer
Press talks about new steam pow that
is being made in Chicago by II speculative
Dakota genius, who thinks the solution Of
the future Of bonanza farming is tho use
Of steam, which, if it succeeds as ma
chine, will, like enough, give the north,
west a revival Of interest in the big farms.
The problcm with traction engines has al
ways been to make them propcl their own
weight over soft plowcd ground and
have strength enough left for anything
else. This new idea is to have light
ondless framework Of planks passing over
and under the engines wheels, so that
the weight will be distributed over thirty
or forty square feet Of roadway ON the
ground all the time. 1t is good deal
like lifting one $ self by the boot straps,
but is plausible enough to work from.
