binary attitude Of the European pow.

remembered that whereas most Of the
enormous national debt OF the Otto
man Empire is In the hands Of French.
English and Austrian bondholders.
well-nigh the entire state liabilities Of
Greece IRE held by German investors.
Inasmuch as a war between Turkey
and Greece would tend still further to
embarrass the finances Of these two
heavily indebted countries. and thus
compromise the interests Of their for.
eign bondholders. the great powers
have decided that under no circum-
stances would they permit any conflict
to take place.

How Polar Ice Forms.

DR.. Nansen observed that the ice
does not form by direct freezing on the
polar sea to a thickness exceeding
about thirteen feet. That was the maxi
mum noticed by him: but in the ice
fields the thickness becomes greatly in
creased by the piling up of broken
masses, under the action of winds and
waves. THE massive ice-cap which
many explorers have believed to cover
the polar area" he said in his recent lee
ture in London, has been shattered.
Instead Of it we have the ever wander
ing ice fields"

Squeezed by Sun and Moon.

A very curious observation was made
by DR.. hansen during his adventurous
Journey toward the North Pole con-
corning the effects of the tides ON the
floating ice. The worst pressures ex-
perienced by his ship, the Fran, when
enclosed in ice Except those due to
high winds), occurred regularly about
the time of new and full moon, the
greatest being at new moon. The rea-
son was because the tida! currents near
the margin of the polar ice fields drive
the floating Ice before them, and at new
and full moon the tidal attraction Of
the sun is added to that Of the moon
and the effect on the sea is increased.

No Living Nam rnoth..

For several years the story has beeL
extensively circulated that the natives
Of Alaska are acquainted with living
mammoths. The probable origin of the
story was pointed out at recent meet
ing Of the Biological Society of Wash.
ington by Mr.. c. III. Townsend. In 1885,
when he was In Alaska, some OF the ma
lives questioned him concerning the ma
ture Of the giant animal whose bones
are not infrequently found there, and
he drew reservations Of the mammoth
In order to show them how 1t looked
when living. They were greatly inter-
eUted in the pictures and made copies
Of them. These copies, he thinks, have
been widely scattered through Alaska,
and being found by white men In the
hands Of the natives have given rise
to the belief that the prehi1toric beasts
still inhabit that country.

Horse Flesh for Food.

The number of horses consumed in
France each year is now about 10000,
and Of this number 24.OOO are sent to
Paris. In 1868 only $500 horses made

beef. OF the 10000 now consumed it
is, Of course, impossible to say how
many are eaten in ignorance Of the fact
that they have probably once been be-
