Is THERE An OPEN ARCTIC SEA,
Its Existence Deemed Not Altogether
Improbable.

Improbable.
From the Portland oreeonian. &C..
That steamers can pass through the Arc
tic ocean In certain years Is the opinion of
Capt. A. H. McGresor. based upon his ex-
perience in the polar regions. Capt Nc
Gregor has seen twenty-three years service
in the Arctic, and commands the steamer
Orca, owned by the Pacific Whaling Com
pany Of San Francisco. He was in this city
lately. and talked entertainingly Of his ex-
perience.
Last year." he said, mine of the Pacific
Whaling Company's steamers and ships
reached Cape Bathurst. the farthest point
north and east ever reached by a vessel of
any kind. We had been whaling in Berins
sea, and having finished what is termed the
outside catch in July. we started for the
Arctic to finish the season. We passed
along the east shore. rounded Point Barrow.
and then made the journey to the cape
which Is near the Mckenzie river We cast
anchor and whaled there the rest of the sea-
son. The natives were somewhat surprised
at our appearance, but as they had seen
white men before, they soon oyercame what
ever fear they might have felt and became
very friendly, They did not differ in the
least from other Esquimaux. We sounded
the ocean near the Mckenzie and found
that boat drawing more than four feet of
water could not approach within thirty
miles OF the river. The land on both sides
was mountainous and covered with snow.
The oldest native told us that IL was
many winters since white men came in
boats. which led me to believe that no boat
had reached the cape since Capt Collinson
was there in 1855. Capt. Coilinson and his
party visited the place In small boats when
they were making q survey OF the British
possessions but they Were compelled to re-
uain there three years before they could
return.
I'VE could have made the trip from the
Pacific to the Atlantic last year II We had so
desired, but our business was whaling not
exploring We found what is called the
breaking ground of the whales which lies
between Cape Bathurst and the McKenzie
river. We left four vessels, the Norwalk.
Balaeva, Grampus and Newport, to winter
there while the others finished the sea son
on the Siberian coast. Those that wintered
in the Arctic have been whaling ALI sum-
mcr but we have had no report from them.
and do not know IL the ocean IL open again
this year. Natives at the cape whom I
questioned told me that the ocean was fair
ly open three years out of four. and that
there was a great big sea one year in five.
Last year was what they termed great big
sea- and they said that the same conditions
prevailed In 1859. A large vessel could not
pass through fairly open sea. 30 the
chances of reaching Greenland through the
Arctic sea are one In FIVE. From this / am
inclined to believe that Collinson entered
| the ocean when II was open"

From Chambers Journal
With the Bank OF England, the destruc-
ton of it's notes takes place about once a
week, and at 1 p. m. 1t used to be done in
the daytime, but made such a smell that the
neighboring stockholders petitioned the gov
ernors to do 1t in the evening. The notes
are previously Cancelled by punching hole
through the amount (in hgures) and tearing
OF the signature of the chief cashier. The
notes are burned in closed furnace, and
the only agency employed Is shavings and
bundles of wood. They used to be burned
in cage, the result of which was that
once a week the city was darkened with
burned fragments of notes. For future
purposes of reference. the notes are left for
five years before being burned.
The number of notes coming into the Bank
of England every day is about 10000, and
359.000 are destroyed every week, or some
thing like 1S,OOOOOO every year.
The stock of paid notes for nve years is
about II,1i5o0o in number, and they hi
Il, 400 boxes, which, If placed side by side,
would reach two and one-third miles. If
the notes were placed in a pile they would
reach to a height of nve and two-tnirds
miles; or, If joined end to end, would form
a ribbon 12,4j5 miles long.
