ABSURD ERRORS.
Made by Noted Authors. and, Among the
Number. Shakespeare.

Shakespcarc's anachronisms certain
ly give him the palm for the greatest
number of mistakes. Some of them are
also strikingly absurd, as, for instance,
The allusiou 70 Cato in Coriolanus, sup
posed TO have been made two centuries
before Cato was born, and the allusion
10 a striking clock in Julius Caesar CEN
turtles before such a thing existed
These may, however, be put down 10
carelessness and the chaotic state of
chronology in Shakespeare's time, and
none of them are either as absurd or
as iudcfensible as the error of which
Coleridge was guilty when he married
bis immortal Ancient Mariner" with
the lines:
The horned moon with one bright star
Within the neither tip"
For such an astronomical monstros-
ity as this to have been visible, either
the star must have been on the earth
ward side Of the moon, or else it must
have shone through the solid body OF
our satellite. What makes it all the
more absurd is the fact that an educated
man like Coleridge could hardly have
been ignorant of such an elementary
fact as this

SUNBURN IN FREEZING WEATHER
A Jerseyman's Experience and Lieut.. De
longs Story from the Arctic Region.


In this climate il is not common 10
find sunburn sufferers while the Their
nometer is away down near the freez-
ing point, but there is an interesting
portion of Lieut.. Commander De Longs
stony of the voyage of the jeanette
which shows how plausible this eNpla-
nation is. After the jeanette was
crushed in the Arctic ice and aban-
Goncd in 1851, and De Long and his
companions took 10 the ice in June Of
that year, they found themselves suf-
fcriug day and night from heat, a.
though the temperature of the air was
never above freezing. With the Their
monictcr at 20 10 25 degrees, the men
worked in their shirt sleeves and were
covered with perspiratiOn. On June Pc
De Long wrote in his diary.
"Blistering hot since midnight, al
though the thermometer marked only
50 degrees in the sun. Our hands
and faces are all swollen and bliStered."
On the next day. with the thermome-
ter at 30 degrees, he tells how curious it
seemed to see the men seeking places in
tic shade in which 70 enjoy an after
dinner smoke and rest, and so day aft
er day his references to the unpleas-
ant heat continue. The party even
found it oppressive in their tents at
night, although the tents were pitched
ON the ice. and the thermometer showed
chilling enough figures.
