Soldiers Accord Popular Author a
Magnificent Demonstration.
One day while in Norway an opppr-
tunity was given to an American trav-
eler to see that the name of Bjorn-
stjerne BjoTnson means much to all
Norwegians. "a battalion of Nor
wegian and Swedish cavalry, infantry
and artillery, between 5000 and 4,OOO
strong, was returning from it's maneu-
vers to the post in Christiania,' he
says. I'm passing Aulestad the gen.
eral in command sent his adjutant in
advance to get Bjornson's permission
to give him an ovation. With his fam
lily and guests assembled about him
on the veranda the monumental figure
stood with barred head to receive the
military greeting. AS each regiment
passed in review below, presenting
arms as to their chieftain, there went
up deafening shout of personal
salutation from each of the soldiers,
who then joined in singing the nation
al hymn, to whose author they were
offering this spontaneous salute.
There was the unique spectacle Of q
man in private life, being accorded a
military demonstration by the nations
army which a king might envy"

THE PACIFIC OCEANS FLOOR.
What Would Be Revealed If Water
Were Drained Oft.

Leslie's Weekly says: If the waters
Of the Pacific could be drained there
would be revealed vast stretch Of
territory comprising enormous pla'
teaus, great valleys for which no par
allels exist on the land surface, lofty
mountains beside which the Himalaya
and the Andes would look like hillocks
and tremendous hollows or basins only
to be compared with those on the face
OF the moon.
While there are great mountains and
huge basins or deeps, the plateau areas
are by far the most extensive. Rela-
lively speaking, the floor Of the Pa.
cific is now at last revealed on the
plateau areas in level. There are I'm.
dulations and depressions, but the gen.
eral area Is about the same depth be-
low the surface
Soundings develop mean depth of
from $500 to 2,700 fathoms In shoaler
spots there is mean depth of from
1890 to 2,4O0 fathorns. Deeper spots
show from $500 to 1900 fathoms.

Warming the North Pole.

A novel scheme for rendering the
Arctic regions inhabitable has been
advanced by a scientist, who proposes
to widen Behring Strait and remove
all obstacles to the entrance of the
warm Japanese current, which he con-
siders then would pour down in sufi-
cient quantities to melt the ice of the
Polar seas, thus retaining a vast ems
pire. Behring Strait is thirty-six miles
wide at the narrowest part, with a
depth of from thirty to forty fathoms,
but the channel is INSTRUCTED by three
small islands. These he would re-
move, and would also get rid of those
rocks and reefs along the coast which
offer most impeachment to the free &C.
cess of the current.

Trees and Novels.

Nine successful novels recently pub
lished in the United States had a total
sale of over 100000 copies. Since
the average weight Of each book sold
was probably twenty ounces, little
calculation will prove that these 1,600-
600 books contained approximately
100000 pounds of paper. A manu-
facturer of paper asserts that the aver
age spruce tree yields little less than
half a cord of wood, which is equiva-
lent to about 500 pounds of paper. In
other words. these nine novels swept
away 1000 trees and they form but
a small part of the fiction SO eagerly
read by the American people.

beginning to see-that they are fitted
for most of the avenues open to en-
