region.
The earliest Arctic explorers found in the
little Spitzbergen Archipelago it is

herds of reindeer upturning the snow with
their hoofs and noses to get at the lichens on
which they feed. Many reindeer live as
far north as Littleton Island, and several
scores of them were killed by the Hayes and
Polaris expeditions. Musk oxen, or their
traces have been found along the shores of
the great frozen sea as far north as eXplOr-
ers. have attained. Lockwood, far North of
the supposed limit Of animal life, found
traces Of this wonderful quadruped, which
grows fat on the tender shoots of the Arctic
willow, and plows up the snow for moss
and lichens.
Of all parts of the earth, the Antarctic
regions alone are comparatively destitute of
life. Few species of living things in the
vegetable or animal kingdom can endure
the rigor of the South Polar regions. No
terrestrial quadruped inhabits the land with
in the Antarctic circle, and whales and
seals are the only mammals that enter its
area. Summer in the Arctic regions, with
its abundant life on land and in the air and
sea, presents an animated and cheerful
scene compared with the utter desolation
that reigns perpetuallyin Antarctic waters.

but old ties and old habits were too strong
to be broken, and they preferred ontinuing
in the home which was endeared to them
by long association, and in the society of the
peaceful fraternity to which they belonged.
Elizabeth's life was one of continued hap
piness. Harry, true to his resolution, never
had another secret from her; he never
again, in fact, was placed in such a situa,,
ton as to render concealment desirable, and
their intercourse with each other remained
as frank and unclouded as such intercourse
should always be, to ensure true confidence
and perfect happiness in welded life.
In due time Harry became his uncle's
successor; and to see him now, as he walks
in dignifed manner down the street, no
one, looking at his portly figure in it's broad
cloth suit, his gold-headed cane, his gold
trimmed spectacles, and the stately way in
which he responds to the greetings of his
numerous friends, would believe that this
respectable, wealthy and Influential elderly
gentleman had ever, in his youthful days,
perpetrated the atrocity of appearing before
the public as one Of a negro minstrel
troupe.

THE WASTE PLACES OF THE WORLD.

The Russian explorer, Prejevalsky, said
after his recent journey in Northern Thibet
that an enormous amount OF animal life
was supported by the scanty herbage grow
ing on these bleak, half sterile plains that
form the highest plateau in the world, some
$4,000 feet above the sea. He said that the
wild yaks there must number millions, and
that full grown yak weighs from 600 to
1900 pounds. Natures chemistry evolves
these great masses of flesh from the poor
herbage of regiou so lofty that its lakes
are frozen over until nearly June, though
they are 600 miles nearer the equator than
we are.
Explorers tell us that not only does ami
NAL life abound but that man can live in
some of the most desolate parts of the globe.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the Sahara
desert is merely a useless sandy waste.
Much Of it lacks not so much cultlVable
land as industrious hands to make the vast
expanse of withered GASES blossom again.
The Musselman sect known as the Senou-
slams has for years been digging wells, irri-
eating the land and turning many hundreds
of barren acres into gardens. TWenty-four
years ago it planted its headquarters in the
desert near the western border of Egypt,
built reservoirs, began plantations, erected
converts, and now a population of 5000 peO-
pie live at Jarabub, where the soil has been
restored to fertility by their labors. There
are large areas in the Sahara that need on
ly rain or irrigation to cover them with
verdure. Through these regions pass the
caravan routes, along which the $4,000 cam
els engaged in the Saharan commerce carry
their burdens.
Mr.. Anderson, the civil engineer, who
last year completed sixteen years of explo-
ratiOns in South Africa between the Orange
and Zambezi Rivers, says that the rain that
falls for a few weeks every year in the great
region known as the Kalahara desert COW
ers the blackened verdureless plain with
splendid vegetation. Game is abundant
there, especially lions, leopards and ostrich
es, and he has counted in this desert tWen-
ty-two lions in a troup, and has seen 200 os.
triches in one flock. Beasts and birds find
sustenance in this region where only few
Bushman hunters live. Far Northeast of

THE CIIILD.-It should never be forgot
ten that the child some day will be a free
agent. If his whole life now is strapped
down and checked off, and labelled with
"orders" and 'warnings" and "take notice.
and "threats of penalties" he may obey
from fear and by force, but his will and his
power of self-control are weakened. Such
a character is usually most helpless before
temptations in after-life. We are too apt to
overlook the fact that it is not the present
urgency that is of the most Importance, at
ter all it is the building up of character
that it is to be the long, lasting. result OF

MIssOUR1's BURIED CITY.-The city Of
Moberly, Mo-, is stirred up over the discov-
cry of a wonderful buried city, which was
discovered at the bottom of coal shaft, $50
feet deep, which was being sunk near the
city. The account Of the discovery, which
comes from Saint Louis, says: A hard and
thick stratum of lava arches in the buried
city, the streets of which are regularly laid
out and inclosed by walls of stone, which
is cut and dressed in fairly good, although
rude, style Of masonry. a hall 81 by lO0
feet was discovered, wherein were stone
benches and tools Of all descriptions for
mechanical service. Further search dis
closed statues and images made of a cOmpO-
sition closely resembling bronze, lacking
lustre. A stone fountain was found, situa-
ted in wide court or street, and from it
stream Of perfectly pure water was flow
ing, which was found to be strongly impreg-
mated with lime. Lying beside the foun-
daton were portions of the skeleton Of q
human being. The bones Of the leg meas
ured, the femur four and one-half-feet, the
tiba four feet and three inches, showing
that when alive the figure was three times
the size of an ordinary man, and possessed
of a wonderful muscular power and quick
ness. The head bones had separated in two
places, the sagittal and the caronal suturis
found embrace bronze and flint knives,
stone and granite hammers, metal lic saws
of rude workmanship, but proved metal,
and others of similar character; they are
not so highly polished, nor so accurately
made as those now finished by our best me-
chanics, but they show skill and an evil
dence of an advanced civilization that are
very wonderful. The searching party spent
twelve hours in the depth, and only gave
up explorations because Of the oil in their
lamps being low. No end to the wonders of
the discovery was reached. The facts above
given are vouched for by Mr.. David Coates,
the Recorder of the city Of Moberly, and
Mr.. George Heating, City Marshal, who
were Of the exploring party.
CURIOUS EFFECTS OF DUsT.-If the at
mosphere were purely gaseous, and held
no minute foreign bodies in suspension, the
aspect of the sky would be utterly differ
ent from what it now is. The sun would
glare down directly with binding intensity,
and objects not in direct sunlight would be
in almost complete shadow. A room facing
north would be in something like darkness;
at least it would be only illuminated by re-
Election from Illuminated objects outside.

The Secretary of State, IN a commu-
nicatien to Congress, seeks to repel the
criticism that the participation of repre-
sentatwes of the United States in the
Congo conference at Berlin, conflicts
with the injunction of Washington in
his Farewell address, which had been
hitherto observed. He declares that
the government of the United States
only instructed delegates to attend the
conference on the understanding that
the conference was not to have plenipo-
Tertiary functions, that its objects
were to be,simply discussion and accord,
and that the United States would be
free to decline to ;aocept5the conclusions
OF the conference. The Secretary fur
ther declares that the United States
government has not, in taking part in
the conference, departed from its ira
ditional policy of avoiding ,entangling
alliances. and he ,subjoins some extracts
from dispatch lately received from
Minister Kasson, which go to bear out
his own state ments.

The locomotive buildings industry
has suffered with many others in the
past year. According to the American
Machinist during 1888 seven of the
largest builders turned out l,346
locomotives, while the same builders
during the past year turned out only
001. There are only sixteen locomotive
building shops in this country, and in
these shops, as near as can be learned
She total number of locomotives built
in 1884 was 1871, about 100 of which
were for expectation. The most trust
worthy figures show thai there are
1927 locomotives of all kinds belong
ing to railroads in North America. AS
the life of g locomotive is about twenty
five years, about 1859 locomotives
must be constructed every year to
maintain the stock.
