LEE IN TIE POLAR SEAS.
PLENTY of Bears, Birds and Nnrwhale
Millions of EIddlers and FIeas.

Plenty of Bears, Birds and Narwha1e
Millions of EIdd1ers and Fleas.
1t is evident, according TO Nansen,
that the waters of the polar seas are far
from being deserted by living creatures,
says the Journal des Debats. Whenever
the sea is open, or partially so, seals,
narwhals and birds abound, and on the
heaps of ice near the edge of the water
the bears are numerous. Under the
ice marine animals are not wanting.
The explorers found an abundance of
little crustaceans, whose discovery was
the result of an accident.
One day the cook sunk a piece of meat
in a hole which he had cut in the ice
with view of thawing it out. This is
a method often resorted to for the pur-
pose of sparing the fuel. Forty-eight
hours afterward, while taking out the
meat, the cook was astonished to find
an immense number of little animals
that dropped upon the surface of the ice
and commenced to jump about like
heas. Nansen, who is a professor of
zoology, had no trouble in recognizing
those little crustaceans, which may be
seen jumping in the sand, and which
are called sand fleas. He was delighted
at the discovery, because the creatures
are good to eat, although they contain
but little nourishment.
y few months later on, when in rs or
so degrees north latitude, in October,
that is to say, at the beginning of the
long winter night, he fished up in lit
tie net with closed meshes quantity of
little crustaceans. This proves that life
is by no means suspended under the
ice; on the contrary, it is very active.
In the mud of the bottom, where the
water is shallow, there are numerous
starfish, mollusks. worms, sponges, and
several species of crustacea

Jenny Lind's Last Public Appearance

The last time Jenny Lind sang in
public was on July %, 1853, in the Spa,
Malvern Hills, England, writes Mrs.
Raymond Maude, daughter of the
Swedish Nightingale" in Ladies'
Home Journal. The concert was in
aid of the Railway Servants Benevo-
lent fund, and indeed was a red-letter
day to the country folk who came from
all the country round with the modest
1S-pence which secured them standing
room. On one of my walks, during the

found an old woman in remote cot

A FREE AND EASY JAIL.
One Prisoner Gave the Jaile-'s Wife
Bicycle Lessons.

One Prisoner Gave the Jaile-'s Wife
bicycle Lessons.
The Nantucket jail stories which
have been current courtroom topics for
the last century have been entirely
eclipsed by recent stories concerning
the convicts of the Barnstable Jail, says
the Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror.
Mr.. f. c. Knapp, who is supposed to be
serving five years sentence for stealing
national bank funds, was recently seen
in the streets in prison garb, giving the
wife of the jailer, Mrs. G. II. Cash, bicy-
Gle lessons. Mrs. Cash is SO years old
and has a daughter aged IS years and
the convict is said to occupy place of
congenial companionship in the jailer's
family. Another convict, named Lewis
Rogers, was recently allowed to take a
COW to Yarmouth and back while the
sun was bright and invigorating for u
pleasant walk.
There is another prisoner, Portu-
guese named Joe, who is there on COM
plant of Portuguese girl named Rosa,
and her story is that Joe promised to
marry her while he was serving out a
previous sentence in the Jail, and that
she often met Joe outside the Jail. It
is a pitiful story, because when Joe got
out of jail he married another girl, after
borrowing $50 from Rosa. And all this
in Barnstable town, where the Jail is.
The stories of Nantucket's easy-going
jail pale into insignifcance in compari-
son with our continental neighbor.

Alfred Pease, now NJ. P. for Cleveland.
Mr.. Pease was travelling abroad when
