How to Get tO the North Pole.

We may seem fully entitled to draw the conclusion that current Is con- stantly running across the polar region from the sea north of the Siberian coast and Behring strait, and into the sea between Spitzbergen and Green land. Since such current exists the most natural way of reaching the north pole, or a point quite near it, must be to enter the current on the side where it runs northward. that is, somewhere near the New Siberian islands, and let it carry one straight across those unknown regions which it has prevented so many from reaching.
 shall build a wooden ship as small and as strong as possible; it shall be just big enough to carry provisions for twelve men for five years, besides the necessary coal; vessel of about POO tons will suffice, The most important feature of the ship will be that she will be built on such lines as will give her the greatest power of resistance to the pressure of the foe ice Her sides must not be perpendicular, as those of ships generally are, but must slope from the bulwarks to the keel or, to use a sailors expression, her dead rise'' must be made great, so that the foes shall get no hold of her when they are pressed together but will glide down ward along her sides and under her, thus tending to lift her out of the water.
 With this vessel, and a crew of ten or twelve strong and well picked men, besides an equipment for Ave years as good in all respects as modern appli- ances can afford, think the enterprise has good prospect of success. -Dr Fridtjof Nansen in Forum

Ing from its sOJOurn i'll the Green Isle" It has not lost it's old meaning; it is still used to denote a road lined with houses, or row of houses; but you will also hear a street" spoken of when houses are few and far between. Then it denotes the space before the door of house, or more probably the space between the back or kitchen door and the farm buildings. So, when on calling at a country house or cottage you are told the owner is ''up the street," you infer, not that he has gone to the neighboring town, perhaps miles away, but that he is somewhere close at hand, most likely in the back yard London Tit-Bits.
 Improved Fruits of the Future.
 It seems probable that the list of seedless fruits will be materially length ened, provided our experimental horti- culturists make use of the material at their command. The common fruits which have very few or no seeds are the banana, pineapple and certain oranges. Others mentioned by Mr. Darwin as we'll known are the bread fruit, pomegranate, azarole or Neapol- itan medlar and date palms.
 In commenting upon these fruits, Mr. Darwin says that most horticulturists Hook at the great size and anomalous development of the fruit as the cause and sterility as the result" but he holds the opposite view as more proba- ble-that is, that the sterility, coming about gradually, leaves free for other growth the abundant supply of build ing material which the forming seed would otherwise have
 He admits, however, that there is an antagonism between the two forms of reproduction, by seeds and by buds, when either is carried to an extreme degree, which is independent of any in cipient sterility. y.-Professor G. l.. Good ale in Popular Science Monthly

Two English Words in Ireland.

An example of "English as she is spoke" in Ireland is the word ''allow," which, in the north at any rate, is uni versally applied so as not only to per plex but often to greatly irritate the Saxon visitor "Allow" means lad wise" and so the phrase, II don't allow you to do that" so far from being in any sense a prohibition, is merely an expression conveying the individuality of the proposed action in the opinion of the speaker.

 How the Musical Scale Was Invented.
 How was the musical scale first invent ed? That query, which has troubled the theorists of all lands, and has had it's answer hitherto only in mystifying speculations and unintelligible theories, the Chinese will reply to by a legend most ingenious and most apropos, which, they hold. offers complete explanation of the my stery. In the reign of Hoang ty, they say, there was once prince called Lyng- lun, who was the most beau. tiful man and at the same time the most profound musician in China. He, under pain of severe penalty by the order loving emperor, was commanded to ar range and regulate Chinese music on the same principle whereon Hoang-ty had arranged law and politics through out the Chinese empire.
 Full of thought Lyng-lun wandered to the land of Si-jaung, where the bamboos grow. Having taken one of them he cut it off between two of the knots, and pushing out the pith blew into the hol low. The bamboo uttered most beau. tiful note, to Lyng-lun's intense surprise Simultaneously the river Hoang-ho. which ran boiling by, roared with its waves, and the tone was in unison with the note of the bamboo. "Behold," cried Lyng-lun, ''the fundamental sound of nature!' Two magical birds then came and perched themselves upon some trees near, and sang one after the other the seven notes of the scale, starting from the tone which had been roared by the Hoang-ho and warbled by the bamboo.
 Here is a scale, say the Chinese, at once ineligible, inimitable and easily revealed. Lyng-lun had merely to cut seven more bamboos and tune them to | the pitches he had heard, and the scale I was made. This he did; and thus was the art of music inaugurated and found ed by Hoang-ty's court musician on a i firm and unalterable basis.-Chambers' | Journal.

Would it not pay some enterprsing individual
to establish stage line between Bel Air and Van
Bibber station. on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road? No doubt arrangements could be made
with the railroad company by which round-trip
tickets good from Bel Air to Baltimore and return
could be sold at no greater cost than over the Bal
timore and Lehigh. Such an enterprise would no
doubt receive substantial ENCOURAGEMENT. The
uncertainties of travel over the narrow-gauge are
so great that many persons who own teams are
now driving from Bel Air to VanBbber. The fare.
for the round trip from VanBibber to Baltimore is
only 80 cents, and 25 cents additional will pay for
having your horse fed. In all it costs, by this
Bel Air to Baltimore and return. while the round
trip fare over the Baltimore and Lehigh Is S1.4-
If any one would start this enterprise they would
receive the thanks OF
