Arctic Sea Temperatures.

In The Geographical Journal, which
publishes the proceedings of the Royal
Geographical society, Professor II. Mohn
discusses the scientific results of DR.. Nan
sens north polar expedition, and particu-
larly the temperatures of the water. In the
circumpolar sea Nansens expedition found
below the 100 fathoms' level a temperature
above the freezing point, also by abont
half degree-i g., nine tenths OF Fair
enheit degree-and, SO far as may be gath
cred from the available information, this
temperature extends to the very bottom.
However, on the north Of Spitzbergen,
that passage from temperatures below the
freezing point to temperatures above 1t
took place at depth of 500 fathoms, and
the warmer temperature was maintained
to the bottom. The unexpected discovery
OF deep sea containing water whose tenn
perature IL above the freezing point In the
vicinity OF the north pole promises to ex-
plain great deal Of the life of the globe
In quite different way from what has
hitherto been considered as the right ex-
PLANTATION. And, by the way, 10 is worth
noticing that just as Nansen q greatest dis
oovery In Greenland-namely, that its in
terror contains one Of the poles of oold Of
the earth-was made notwithstan anding that
his thermometers were not able to show
the lowest degrees Of cold, 90 also the
sounding apparatus taken on the Fran
was far from being able to measure depths
OF 1000 fathoms But Nansen Is the man
to create mems where there were none,
and the sounding apparatus which was
made proved to be of the most modern
sort. 1t was made out OF iron wire taken
from an iron cable.

Eggleston a q Historian.

What position must we assign DR.. Eg
gleston among our historians and wha
does his new volume stand for? For IN,
own part have no hesitation in answer
ing that DR.. Eggleston il neither plod
ding cleaner nor merely pleasant narrator
of what we all know, but true historian
who has handled his materials in such
fresh and vigorous way as to fairly entitl
him to the credit of having made con
tribution of lasting value to our historical
literature. This judgment will hardly b.
approved by any reader who is unable t,
rid himself of what may be called the an
nalistic conception of history. Such ,
reader will demand new facts or else ol(
facts retailed in an orderly and exhaustiv,
manner. Yet DR.. Eggleston could scarcel,
be expected to furnish any startling array
Of new facts that would compel a rewrit
ing of our colonial history, and he certain
ly has not retailed the old facts In the or
thodox way.
Minute details that fill page after pag,
of the learned compilations of his prede
cessors are passed over In silence or barely
referred to. Indeed, as an annalist DIR
Eggleston would hardly have earned hi.
salt in a medieval monastery. He will
not earn praise from the dry as dust an
nalists and readers of annals of the present
day. But he will earn the praise and graf
itude Of all who are Interested In the de
velopment of the art of historical compost
ton, of all who wish to see fresh spirit
and fresh methods applied to the writing
of American history. ry.-Professor william

INVENTION or A SAVAGE.
A Strictly Scssntfno Way OF Creating o.
Fire.

It has been less than 100 years since CIV
ilized humanity used many odd devices for
the purpose of obtaining fire. In this couD-
try, then claiming to he enlightened"
the tinder box, with stec,,, end flint, was the
apparatus most genera, used. However,
II there was no finder box In the house, the
old flintlock musket, with few grains of
powder In the pan, together with a few
h,reds Of paper or creased rags, was con-
sdered household necessity. Rubbing
sticks together until they were fired by
friction was the method used by the saw
nges of that time In nearly all the lands Of
the globe.
There was ono singular exception, how
ever, To all Of the above, as we'll as many
other OF the more common methods OF
striking light" and that method was
practiced by rude tribe Of semisavages
inhabitiDg eastern Tibet. Curious as 1t
may seem, those rude savages obtained fire
on strictly scientific principles, which In
volved a wonderful knowledge Of the prop
critics of compressed air. The apparatus
used consisted of wooden cylinder 2X
inches long by three-quarters of an inch
In diameter, which was closed at one end.
Into this cylinder-which tapered off at
one end until IL was not larger than COM
mon lead pencil-was fitted an airtight
piston, which had large, fiat knob at ths
top. The other end of the piston was slight
ly Followed out, the indentation being In
tended for the reception of a small piece of
tinder, or punk. When this apparatus
was in use, 1t was held In one hand, the
piston being inserted with the other
and about half way down. A very
sharp blow was then given with the palm
Of the hand on the top of the large or knob
end of the piston. AT the same instant
tho fingers were closed around the knob
and the piston instantly withdrawn. II
everything had worked to perfection, the
scientific sayage was usually rewarded by
finding that the tinder had been lighted,
and fire was assured.
Sir William GIL, the English scientist,
who investigated this queer mode of strik
ing light, says that ''it requires skill to
use this fire producing apparatus, as we'll
as science to invent it"-San Francisco
Chronicle.

A Curious Wooden Watch.

The most curious timekeeper perhap
that has ever been made In this country
was the work of one Victor Doriot, who
lived at Bristol, Tenn, about 30 years ago.
This theological oddity was nothing mort
or less than wooden watch. The case was
made of brier root, and the inside works
all except three of the main wheels and the
springs, which were Of motai-were made
from piece of an old lockwood rulo. The
face, which was polished until 1t looked
like slab of finest ivory, was made from
the shoulder blade of an old COW that had
been killed by the cars. "Doriot's queer
watch, as It was called, was an open faced
affair, with a glass crystal, and was pro-
pouncod an elegant piece of workmanship
by all the watchmakors In east Tennessee

WALES IN AMERICA.
His Memorable Visit to the United States
In 1860.

Stephen Fiike, In recalling "When the
Prince of Wales was w America" writes
In Tho Ladies' Home Journal that on
Sept. IL, 1860, he "entered the United
States for the first time, riding to the
American side for a farewell view of Mag
ara. Then, after the usual ceremonies at
Hamilton, the prince crossed to Detroit on
Sept. 20 and became the guest of the peo-
pie OF this republic, The Duke of Newcas-
tie had insisted that the prince, as Baron
Renfrew, should be received by the people,
not officially by the government, and this
arrangement was carried out during bis
tour. 1t seemed az II all the people, head
ed by the governor of Michigan, had rush
ed to welcome him at Detroit. The crowds
were 30 dense that the royal party could
not get to their hotel through tho main
streets.
"Thero Was similar crowd at Chicago,
which was reached two days latse. st.
Louis, where the prince had . splendid re-
ception on the fair grounds and opened
the Western Academy Of Arts, and Gin
cinnati, where another tremendous crowd
awaited him and he danced all night at
another ball, made the prince glad to get
to the comparative quiet of Washington,
where he was introduced by Lord Lyons
to President Buchanan and Miss Harriet
Lane and was elegantly but privately en-
tertained at the White House"
subsequently he visited Richmond,
Philadelphia, New York, Boston and some
other eastern cities, In nearly all Of which
he was sumptuously entertained, and was
the guest OF honor at receptions, balls, din
ners, ETC. On Oct. 90 the prince re-em-
barked from Portland, Me-, for England.
Owing to a severe storm his ship, Hero,
had been driven out of her course was sew
eral days overdue, and: her officers and
crew were reduced to scant salt fare. Eng
land was greatly alarmed for the safety of
the young prince and rejoiced when the
Hero finally landed him safe on his native

The opening game In the series which
has been arranged Between the Thomsons

Street Rink.
The Dawsons appeared upon theisurface
primed for the contest, and the confident
smile upon their countenances gave notice
to home rooters that they were out for the
game.
The game opened with rush and both
teams got into the game for all they wele
worth.
The leather seemed to favor the home
players, and the boys were not slow in
taking advantage Of the fact. The Thorn
sons pulled out the game in canter, the

Runaway at ssylesville.
The teamers of the Saylesville bleachery
were about to unhitch their horses yester-
day noon, In order to allow them to eat,
when for some unknown reason one OF the
studs became frightened, and made bolt
for the door of the barn which was partly
opened. The horse was attached to a tip
cart, and the opening in the barn door not
being suffiently large to admit the cart,
and the frightened horse being determined
to enter the barn door proved to be the
weaker of the two, and the result was that
the door was broken into admirable kind
ling wood.

named Tadeo Herrera was shot
and killed in a saloon at Florence
last week by man named Hilario
Del Oh. DE-.
They had been drinking together
all night, and the murder was the
elimination of a drunken row over
who should treat between two men
