Siahts In tbs Arctic.

Explorers who penetrate the Arctic
and Antarctic seas have q chance to
observe one Of the strangest phenoIn'
ena In nature. that Of smoke rising
from the sea. Whenever the tempera'
ture falls TO Is degrees below zero
clouds OF steaming vapor ascend from
the ocean. to be Immediately frozen
into tiny particles Of ice and dropped
once more into the water. The same
thing takes place on land. the vapor
rising from the snow and even from
the bodies of the explorers themselves.
In this case. however. the ice particles
fall on the ground and make a weird
rustling, like the swish Of a silk dress.
At 40 degrees below zero the sap OF
trees is turned to ice. and the trunks
burst asunder with a sharp report
These mysterious sounds and sights
are awe inspiring to att who do not
know their cause. and they may &C.
count for some of the strange tales
that are told of the frozen north. n

Hamlet Under DifficuIties.

John Coleman. the celebrated actor.
once played Hamlet under difficulties.
The audience was small. and q Seafar-
ing man. who had Il prominent seat IN
the fourth row Of the pit. was not very
much interested. After he had left
ostentatiously three or four times. re-
turning in a merrier frame Of mind,
Coleman stopped the play, walked to
the footlights and said:
III my friend would stay in his seat
and Keep his eye on me l think l could
interest him."
Hamlet was then proceeded with,
and the mariner drew from his pocket
a telescope. which he extended to its
full length and placed to his right eye,
fixing it on Coleman when he appeared
in the play and following him as he
paced the stage. AS oon as Hamlet
completed his speech the telescope was
audibly shut up, and then ~reopened as
Hamlet began to speak. Coleman's
Hamlet was net. a success. = London
