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 suf1-
Gent quantities to melt the ice Of the
Polar seas, thus retaining a vast EN-.
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 impediment to the free &C.
cess of the current.

THE PACIFIC OCEANS FLOOR.
What Would Be Reverted If Water
Were Drained Off.

Leslie's Weekly, says; II 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 m ountains 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 depresslons, but the gen.
eral area is about the same depth be-.
low the surface.
Soundings develop a mean depth OF
from $500 to 200 fathoms. In shoaler
spots there is mean depth of from
1890 to 2,400 fathoms Deeper spots
show from $500 to 1900 fathoms.

ADULTERATED FOODS.

lThisis Ian age of fakes and
limitations. Everything we eat,
drink or wear is liable to be
something other than that which
it purports to be. Impure foods
represented to be of the best
class Of goods have in recent
years flooded the country to such
an extent that the government
has found in necessary to estab-
lish stations where the purity OF
foods may be determined by
chemical experts.
Much of this stock is imported
into the United States. On July
last a law authorizing the ex-
clusion of impure Or mist branded
foods went into effect. 1t is
interesting to note that the re-
port of DR.. Wiley, chief of the
bureau Of chemistry, covering
the past three months, states
that of the 205 cargoes of i'm
ported foods inspected by his
bureau, 20 samples, or 10 per
cent, had been found to come
within the laws inhibition and
had been condemned. One Of
the samples was Frankfuter
sausage, containing preservatlves
injurious to health. Others were
wine, canned vegetables, etc.
Professor G. r. Colby of the
University of California, we'll
known as a chemist, has beena
pointed by the secretary OF agrl-
culture to make examination of
foreign food products received at
Pacific coast ports. The purpose
OF the appointment is to avoid
the expense of shipping goods
across the continent for inspec-
ton, and it is announced that ex-
perts will be located at other
distant points if congress can
be prevailed upon to supply the
furds necessary for the purpose.

Losses by Drought in Australia.

The wheat harvest Of 1902 in New
South Wales is only one-tenth of the
harvest of 1901, and this represents a
loss to the wheat growers of over G2,-

vegetables are at least as great in the
aggregate, while the disasters of the
pastoral industry are on yet more
tragical scale. In the flocks and herds
of the state there is decrease Of
