WRITTEN BY HAND.
The Meaning of ''Manuscript' and the
Abbrevia tions Used.

The singular and plural forms OF
the abbreviated word manuscript
(MS. and MSS) are the initials of the
two Latin words manu- scrlptum,
whence our word is derived. Of course,
says ST Nicholas, it means, literally,
written by hand. After the introduce
ton of printing certain books were
spoken of as goddess Cor librl impress
si), printed books, to distinguish them
from codices manu- script. Most or
the old and important records found
in manuscript and preserved in libra
ries have been copied and reproduced
in print, so that we need not trouble
ourselves to decipher crooked charac-
tiers or half-faded writing. 1t is, how
ever, interesting as well as very Curl

lies deep sea, CT possibly as yet I'M
known land, to the north of the Am

On the Asiatic side of the Polar area
the most important problems were
solved by the Fran Expedition.
The experiences of the Fran eXpedl-
ton render it probable, moreover. that
large portions of the as yet unknown
Polar area are occupied by similar
sea, over which the Polar ice drifts
in a similar way. BY finding deep

Water Supply of American Cities.

New York city's average daily sup
ply of water for the three boroughs of
Manhattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx
is $40, 600, 900 gallons, and the con-

The knowledge of the regions around
the North Pole has, during the bygone
century constantly advanced by great
er or less degrees; and the closing
years of the period have witnessed the
approximate solution, at any rate, OF
several of the most important prob
lens, writes DR.. hansen in the Pail
Mall magazine. The English Arctic
expeditions, especially those of the
middle years of the century, explored
and mapped the coasts of the North
American Arctic Archipelago, and de-
termined in broad outline it's extension
towards the north. American expedi-
lions. and the English expedition of
1876. explored the northern coasts

,Japanese Firemen

Japanese dwellings, being of the
fiimsiest kind, are particularly liable to
destruction by fire, and the fire depart
ments might therefore be supposed to
have been well developed. But they
are not. being the one thing in which
Japan has not advanced. They are,
indeed wocfully inefficient. Hand en-
gines that can he carried by two men
and buckets comprise the whole outfit.
Valuables are not kept in the dwell
ings. In e-ery village there is a mas
sive tower. with iron doors and win
dow shutters, and in this building the
inhabitants store whatever they pos
sess of value to save it from loss by
| fire.

THE ARCTIC. COMPILED FROM TIL LATEST MAPS

Fliegely, on Crown Prince Rudolf
Land, which was found to lie in about
81 degrees 5 minutes, thus forms the
northernmost point of this group of
islands, and at the same time the
farthest north land as yet known
on this side of the Pole.
The many Swedish expeditions to
Spitzbergen and the North Siberian
waters have contributed greatly, by
means of their admirable scientific in
vestigations, to our general knowledge
of the physical conditions of the Arctic
area.

Emnernr and Barber.

Emperor William of Germany has
taught his barber lesson. Very pune
tuaI himself, the emperor insists that
his servants shall also be punctual,
and as he noticed some time ago that
his barber was almost always few
minutes late when the time came for
shaving him. he presented him with
gold chronometer and urged him to
make use of it. Much to his surprise,
the barber continued to be few min
utes late almost every morning, and,
after waiting in vain for some signs OF
Improvement, the emperor said to him
the other day: Have you still the
chronometer which l gave you? Yes,
your majesty; here it is replied the
barber taking it from his pocket.

The extension of the group toward the

In the course of the American Well

succeeded in discovering a new island
east of Wilcek's Land, the most east
ern island of Franz-Josef Land seen by
us in the course of our expedition. Mr..
Baldwin has thus possibly determined
the eastern extension of Franz-Josef

I regard it as not improbable that land
may be discovered still farther east.
