‘as Winnipeg was in winter.

before Nachbak Bay was reached. Near

jammed in a field of ice, varying from fifty to eighty miles in width. On June 15th an attempt was made to force the ship through the ice in the straits. The latitude was ten miles south of Cape Best, the south point of Revolution (sland, and thirty-five or forty miles east. On June 16 she got into comparatively thin sheet ice, but averaging five feet thick, extending forty miles to the east- ward, and as far as the eye could reach in other directions. The ship drifted

which time she sustained so much damage that she was compelled to put back to St. John’s for repairs. The ice which the ship was in that time was evidently from Davis’ Straits, where the winter appeared to have beev especially severe. After effecting repairs at St. John’s, Nachbak was again reached on August 2nd, and made without any difficulty. Atthis time the men had been

TOLD OF¥ FOR THE DIFFERENT STATIONS,

as follows :—Port Burwell station, No. 1, Gilbert R. Shaw and the brothers Mer- cier ; Skioner’s Cove, Nachbak Bay, No. 2, was to be abolished ; Ash Inlet, No. 3, J. Tyrrell, of Toronto, William Mills and Erechman; Stupart’s Bay, No. 4, F. J. Payne, Toronto, Albert Bouthelier and Frank Paul; Port de Boucherville, No. 5, J. MeKenzie, Pictou, Maurice Fleming and J. P, Grolay; Port La- periere, No. 6, Perey Woodworth, A. R. Bissett and J. Bowditch. The Alert left Nachbak on August 220d, and fought her way up through the ice towards the other stations. At this time

THE STRAITS APPEARED AS FULL OF ICE

as it did a month previously. This was, doubtless, the ice that came down from the bay. Some of the pans were of great size and thickness; the tidal drift about this place was very strong, and ran from six to seven knots an hour. On August 7th they sighted the Hudson’s Bay ves- sels Princess Royal and Cam Owen. The latter broke her propeller in trying to make Ash Inlet, and drifted about for weeks. Observers Keating and Drys- dale came off on the ice and reported that Mr. Ash, the chief, was suffering from scurvy. Capt. Gordon got them all aboard and left for Stupart’s Bay, where it was found that Mr. Stupart and party had left the day before for Chimo Bay. The other stations were duly visited and relieved, but nothing of importance joccurred, except that the ship ex- perienced a series of gales of great severity almost during the whole of the time she was in the bay. She arrived at’ Nachbak on her way home ou Ociober| | 14th. Capt. Gordon said that his opinion that

THE STRAITS WERE NAVIGABLE TO PROP-

ERLY EQUIPPED SHIPS

‘for four months of the year had been ‘copfirmed. The result of the observa- tinns showed that the climate was not nearly as cold as anticipated, nor as cold Dr. Bell ‘said he had gathered many new geologic- al, zoological and botanical facts, and spoke very highly of the richness of the | fisheries and mineral resources. He thinks the experiments should be con- tinued.

‘TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF STUPART AND PARTY.

Interviews with returned observers ‘give the ivside history of Stupart’s desertion of his post on Hudson’s straits. |The winter at his post had been unusual- ly severe, the hunting failed and ,famine ‘prevailed among the Esquimaux. Stu- part relieved their wants to the best of his means, but be only had two years’ provisions for his party of three, and was not certain that the Alert would relieve him this year. Thirteen of the Esquimaux starved around the very door of his station. It was a sickening sight, and life among such scenes was hardly ‘worth living. A month passed by after the time the Alert with relief was due, aud there being no sign of her and fear- ing that the same fate that befell the Esquimaux last winter would over- take him and his party next win- ter, they determined to undertake the perilous journey to the Hudson’s Bay post at Chimo Bay. Stupart and his two men accordingly started in an open whale boat, and, after enduring great suffering from exposure and ex- haustion, rowed sad sailed, amid heavy

'dred miles to Chimo in fourteen days, | Arriving there safely they em ?arked in the Hudson’s Bay trading steamer Labra- |dor for Rigoulette, where they bad left | word at Stupart’s Station and Chimo for ithe Alert to call for them in case she came to their relief, and if not they hoped to get to Sf. John’s io a whaler or fisherman. ‘They left Chimo all right but the steamer Labrador ran on the rocks before reaching Rigoulette, but was pot a total wreck, and the crew and passengers were safe when last heard from. News of the disaster was sent by the Esquimaux to Nachbak Bay, and ‘thence to St. John’s, from which place the steamer Hercules was sent to their rescue. Capt. Gordon believes that the ‘whole party will be saved and come home all right. One of the most pecu- iliar incidents of the story is that the | Alert arrived at Stupart’s Bay to relieve them the very day after the adventorous party had left for Chimo. 2. ee Evolution of the Pen. |FROM BRUSH TO GOOSE-QUILL, AND FROM | QUILL PEN TO STEEL. (St. Lowis Globe- Democrat. )

In the days of parchment and papy- rus, pens were unknown because there /was no need for them. The ink was as thick then as printing ink now is, and ‘the brash was the thing with which to | @pply the ink to the parchment. To the present day the Chinese still use a brush tor this purpose, as also do most of the Oriental nations. But the invention of | paper necessitated more delicate touches jthan could have been made with a brush, jae the first effort to meet the need was ‘a split reed. For a long time this ' answered the purpose, but when greater nicety was demanded, the goose quill was pressed into service, and for ages supplied the demand.

During the last century many efforts were made to improve on the quill, the neccssity of constantly mending it being found a drawback to its use, but all iwere unvavailing. The attempts were principally directed to fitting the points with some substance harder than the quill, so that mending would not be needed, points of steel, copper, agate, and even diamond and ruby being tried, but all to no purpose. In the first years of the present century pens began to be made entirely of metal, and the survival of an old habit was plainly prominent ip the first steel or metal pens made, they being shaped in the form of a quill as nearly as possible. ‘They were fearfully hard, stiff things: went scratching over the paper with a most abominable noise! and spluttered at a great rate, and as they sold for 50 cents each, were mot very popular

In 1820 Gillot, the pen manufacturer, made a wonderful improvement in their manufacture, giving the pen three slits instead of one, which gave more flexibil- ity. Improvements in machinery re- duced the selling price so that he was able to sell these three-slit pens for abcut $40 a gross. It is worthy of note that a better article of pen is now made and sold for 25 cents a gross than could then be made for $40, the difference being in the perfection of the machinery, calling for less attention fromthe men employ- ed. The cheaper pens are mace entirely by machinery, but the better grades are partly by hand, and it is computed that the various manufacturers turn out every year about 400,000,000 pens, to be used once or twice and then thrown away. The process of manufacture is exceed- ingly interesting, and the persons em- ployed in slitting the pens by hand acquire wonderful skill, so that a quick cutter wilbshape 15,000 pens in a day, anda good slitter will cut the slits in 28,000.

Petroleum V. Nasby says a more sweet and delightful nature than Josh Billings’ never lived. He never did a mean thing, and never had an enemy among good men. There was not a mean or selfish thing in him, and his work was merely a reflex of himself. He was an originator and a com- pressor. His great merit was in taking a column and boiling it down so as to get it into two lines. His work was in convert- ing ashes into potash. And his sayings will outlive those of *‘Poor Richard.”

A Marseilles merchant, who started in business with $5,000 and became a million- aire, left his property to « friend with the condition that he should be buried with the sum of $5,000 placed in his coffin. The executor bewailed the reckless waste of money and was at his wit’s end to know how to defeat the whimsical clause in the will. At length a happy thought came, ‘‘I will put a cheque,” he said, ‘‘into the cof- fin for $5,000. It will be duly honored when he presents it.”

After the review at Stuttgart, the Em- peror William was told by Prince Hermann of Saxe-Weimar that a ninety-three-year- old veteran, who had served unde> him sixty years ago, was present, having made a long journey just to see his commander again in this world. Kaiser Wilhelm was much moved, and insisted upon alighting from his carriage and walking over to that in which the veteran was seated, when he held some conversation with him and

seas and frequent gales, the three hun- shook hands cordially at parting.
