Our Little Knowledge of Greenland.

There are two questions in chief that
lend romance to Greenland, one of which
Is akin to the delightful, unsolved problem
of an open polar sea, the other having to
do with a chapter in the Icelandic settle
ment of America before Columbus, whose
opening passages we find in the Morse
chronicles. but whose sequel no man can
read. Nordenskjold has made two at
tempts to break through what he con-
siders a belt of thick ice surrounding a
central part of Greenland not glaciated
in the same way, If at all. He argues
that Greenland is comparatively fat, and
does not breed glaciers from a central
lofty ridge like the Alps; those glaciers
which produce icebergs for distribution
over the North Atlantic are in his view
phenomena local to the sea coasts; if we
could force the barrier of the inland ice,
whose outer edges are glacier like in
movement and effects, we should reach
the real Greenland, by no means a tropical
land, of course, but one capable of sup
porting the small but rich and quick
maturing fora of the Arctic circle, and, as
n necessary consequence, the living fauna
of such a region
The more romantic question is the old
one, What became of thc Icelandic settle
ments OF the east coast2 Access to that
coast by sea is almost always hindered by
foes and masses of icebergs; from tho
land side the inland ice blocks the way,
Esquimaux have not been slow to affirm
that descendants of the old Morse settlers
linger on that inaccessible spot, and love
to add that ghosts of early S-candinavians
haunt the glittering fields of hummock.
crevasse and underground river which
present such an impenetrable front to
hunters and explorers. The general
opinion is that the Norseman of the east
as well as the west coast dwindled and
merged with the Esquimaux from choice
or from necessity. Attempts have been
made to assign this or that trait of the
Esquimaux of Greenland to an infusion
of Morse blood. 1t is certain that during
the last few centuries Danes have inter.
married readily with the Esquimaux, and
that the children are remarkably more
handsome than their parents.-New York

GEOGRAPHY OF INTELLECT.
Ei=aia Growth Seems to- Depend Upon
Lane Surface and Climate.

O~bNhN SPoA
Lane Surface and Climate.
DR.. a. Conan Doyle has contributed an
article entitled 1.-The Geological Distribu-
ton of British Intellect" to The Nine
teenth Century. He takes the names
given in a popular biographical diction-
airy and in a book entitled Men of the
Time, gives the birthplace of each and
then adds up the number that belong to
each of the grand divisions of the United
Kingdom, to each country and to each
of the large cities. He finds tina the
proportion of celebrities to the entire
population of the four main divisions is
as follows: Scotland, one in 90, 600; Eng
land, one in 100000; Ireland, one in 49,
900; Wales, n in So, 900. London has
a celebrity for every 16, 600 inhabitants,
Dublin n in each s, 1900 and Edinburgh
one in I, 800.
An attempt is made to show that the
development of intellect depends largely
on the geological formation of a country,
climatic conditions, and other outward
circumstances. A pretty good showing
is made for the truth of the statement
that ''the very highest intellects appear
TO be developed in the peaceful atmos-
phere of country villages and the small
provincial towns" and for another state
ment that Emusic, poetry and art reach
their highest development in the south,
while theology, science and engineering
predominant in higher ~latitudes- Oh
servation shows hat the latter statement
is true of Europe as a whole Music
poetry and art have fioulished in ItaIy'
while theology, science and engineering
have predominated in Scotland. northern
Germany and the Observation-Disclosures.
An American geography of intellect
would show that nearly all our dis
tinguished thinkers, authors and scholars
were born within. sight of the White
mountains and within a distance of 100
miles of the Atlantic coast. Nearly all
our poetry has been written within This
territory. Half of our noted wits and
humorists were born in Maine. The lii
tie town of Concord, Mass. has produced
more men of the highest order of intel
1ect than all the southwestern states.
The south has produced several dis
.tinguished orators and soldiers. hut no

A coMIcAL OBJECT.

There stood beside her an old buck, a
most comical looking object, whose long
locks were Surmounted by q jaunty white
straw hat, and whose bony figure was
radiant in a red flannel miners shirt and
a pair of ragged gray trousers. He was
"a kind of a preacher" one of the Indians
said, and his loud vociferation and violent
gestures were the only eulogies which
were to console the mourners and do
honor to the virtues of the deceased. For
he was the only medicine man in this part
of California, and his death left the tribe
unprotected against the ravages of rheu-
matism and consumption. We could not
understand the Indian language, but q
sturdy farmers son by our side who has
picked up some of their vocabulary ans
lated for us what the preacher was say
ing: ''Injin doctor gone now; all Injins
die. Sick here, here, here pointing to
head, lungs and heart). Die, die, never
get well. Baby sick, no medicine, no get
any better, pretty soon die" Then the
mahalas, with their papooses on their
backs, walled louder, and the babies joined
in the cry, and tried in vain to fight away
the flies with their little fists. The
preacher talked on at intervals, describing
the restitution of the tribe. and the skill
and goodness of the departed doctor. Two
blind mahalas stood on the edge of the
grave, and every now and then had to be
held back from slipping into the hole.
Finally the preacher laid the dead mans
bow and arrows IN the coffin. Then a
roll of blankets was thrown in at the foot
of the coffin, and two large fur robes.
Some mistake was evidently made in the
selection of articles, for a loud voice of
v~ituperation broke out from the mon
%otonous Wailing, and a bed quilt, lined
with turkey red calico. was hurled by
that fierce old mahala with the short
skirts. over the heads of the crowd back
to the pile from which it had been taken.
The old boots, a leather hunting bag and
a pair of spring scales were laid in, and
then all was ready for the earth to be
shoveled in. The crowd did not disperse
until nearly nightfall, INC as long as we
could see in the twilight there were still
several black figures standing like SEN
tinels at the grave.-Cor. San Francisco

Bay Water.

Last Monday contract was enter
ed into between the Alpena city water
company and A. l.. Holmes, of Grand
Haven, for the purpose of extending
an inlet water pipe into Thunder Bay.
The pipe is to be of iron, 20 inches
in diameter, and is to extend over l.
500 feet from the pump house out in
to the bay. A pipe will also be laid
across the river, from Merchant street
to Third street, to connect the water
pipes laid in the street on each side
of the river. The work is to be COM
pleted by June LIST, 1888.
The water company will also erect
a strong crib out in the bay, at the
place where the inlet pipe ends, this
winter.
The work of laying the pipe will
commence in a week or two.

A tariff is a tax paid by the person
whs buys the goods imported. This
tax is paid to the government. The
tariff on imported goods, allows home
manufacturers to raise tho price of
their goods. The person who buys
home goods, in addition to the cost Of
the goods, pays a tariff to the manu-
faetursr. If you buy foreign sugar,
yen pay the cost Of manufacture, and,
in addition, you pay the government
81 per cent tariff tax. If you buy
sugar made in this country, you still
pay a tax, but tho protected manufac-
tursr gets it. A tax j, a burden, but
it 10 a burden that can not be wholly
lifted from the people, and they do
net object to reasonable tax to pay
the expenses Of the government eco
nsmicslly administered. But when
the government imposes larger tax
than it needs, or when tax is levied
en- one man in order to benefit anoth-
er, then the imposition becomes a rob.
berry. Such is the case with the pres.
ent protective tariff of this country
II taxes the workers more than is nee
essary to pay government expenses,
and it bleeds the many to enrich the
few. It should be reduced.

On October 9th last, the propeller
Elfnmere, bound down Lake Huron,
with the schooners Nellie Mason. "A,
III. Moss and Acontias in tow, shaped
her course along the west shore of the
lake and near Presque Isle light lost
two of the schooners, the Moss and
Acontias, on shore. The schooners
were deserted by the propeller and
much of their cargo of lumber was
washed away. A suit against the
Elfnmere for heavy damages is in
progress in the United States District
Court. The owners and masters of
the two abandoned craft stated on the
witness stand yesterday that their
vessels went ashore in the early morn
ing, and that the crews were deserted
by the El6nmere and were not res
cued for fourteen hours, when they
were assisted from land. The claim
of the libelants is that the propeller
was negligent in "hugging" lee
shore too closely.-Detroit Free Prss.
