AN ARCTIC ADVENTURE.

In the evening their legs felt Stiif

they landed ON the edge of the Ice 50

They ran to the edge Of the ice. but
the boats were already little way OF

ton was terrible one. for all they
possessed was on board. Nansen at
once threw of some of his clothing.

sprang into the icy water. He knew
that II the boats were lost 1t meant
death to him and his companion At
first it seemed more than doubtful
whether he could manage to regain
them. When he got tired tie turned
over and swan on his back. At length
he gained Il little and redoubled his
exertions.
BY this time Nansen felt his limbs
stiffening and losing all feeling. His
strokes became more aud more feeble,
but the distance from the kaiaks be-
came shorter. and at last he was able
to grasp snowshoe that lay across

cold that he could not do so. After a
little he managed to swing one leg up
to the edge Of the sledGe that WAS

rest Of his body. They were saved.
With some difficulty he padded The
kaiaks back to .JohanseD. who admitted
that these were the worst moments ne
had ever lived through, Johansen now
pulled off Nansen's wet clothes. put on
the few dry ones they had in reserve.

and covered Nansen with the sail and
everything he could find to keep out

A Chilly Eorecast.

The earth is growing in bulk on &C.
count of the meteoric dust that falls on
it. 1t has recently been estimated that
loo tons fall daily over the surface Of
the globe. and that millions OF years
hence this will have increased the
thickness of the earth considerably.
This would have a tendency to bring
us closer to the sun. But centrifugal
force is augmented at the same time in
greater proportion and counteract> this
tendency; consequently the earth wonld
be swept away from the sun. with the
result that its distance from that body
would be considerably augmented.
This is spoken OF as having possibly
happened to some Of the larger outer
planets, notably Jupiter, in the remote
past-Harpe,'s
