This territory, owing to its location around the pivot upon which the earth re volves, has a very limited amount of precipitation, if any at aJl, and owing to the peculiar trend of the surface the rays of the sun, during a large propor tion of the year, strike a greater part of it vertically, producing a climate fully as warm as that of a greater por- tion of the United States, and the re- flection of sunlight from the surface of one side to the surface of the other side gives ita continuous daylight for many months in succ The Arctie or Antarctic oceans do not extend nearer to the poles than the 84th or 85th par- allel, and then extending entirely around the poles is what appears to be a chain of high and rugged mountains, bat which is, in reality, only the result of the changing of the from eonvex to concave, and to reach the re- gion of which I have spoken it will be necessary to accomplish the almost im- possible task of passing over this range of mountains.

NEW ELECrRIC LOCOMOL.V42, The Engineering News says: “ The first electric locomotive manufactured under the arrangement entered into some time ago between the Westing-house Electric Manufacturiag Company of Pittsburg, Pa, aad the Baldwin Loco- motive Works, of Philadelphia, Pa., has been eompleted atthe latter works ana sent to Pittsburg. It is 38 fret long and 9 feet wide over all. The operating parts are all placed on the truck, the body or cab containing only the cor trolling apparatus, so that it may be utilized as a freight or baggage car or for carrying the wrecking tool-, ete., usually carried by a train. One of the chara+teristic features of the locomotive is the track,which has eight wheels 42 inches diameter, and four motors of 209 horse The entire weight of the locomotive, 100,000 pounds, is thus available for traction. The mot- ors «re geared, this method having been decide! upon so as to enable the company 10 n-e more efficient aod durable m yore, and it also greatly reduces the covt of the locomotive. Itis stated that while the electric lecomotive. It is stated that while the electric locomotive used in the saltimore tunnel cos: $50,000, the Bald- win-Wesinghouse locomotive w.il cost less than one-third of that amount, and will be able to accomplish thesame work. The Ballwin-Westinghouse combira on will construct engines for road and swi ch- ing purposes on Ordinary railways for sub- urban and elevated railways, mine, etc. “he one just built is intended fur passen— ger service, being rated at 1000 horse power capacity. It is expected that the second locomotive completed by the Baldwin Works will shortly be received at the East Pittsburg factory of the West- inghouse Elec'ric and Manufacturing C.m- pany. This is intended tor elevated rail way work, and is an example of a motor car adapted forthe Manhattan E'evated Railway of New York. As to the speed of these new lobomotives, at is stated that the motors have been geared to produce a speed of 75 miles an hour, although 125 miles per hour may be attained if demand ed. All the locomctives will be equipped with air brekes, operated in the usnal manner by an air pamp underreath the car, and driven by an electric motor. They ean be used with the trolley system, the third rail system, the Westinghouse elec- tric magnetic system, or im connection with the Tesia polyphase system.” dice naiangeaemyae The peculiar case of a young woman trying to prove that she has_n«grto blood in her veins came up last week in court in Muncie, Ind. The young woman is the daughter of a prosperous white farmer in that place, and there has never been any suggestion that she was other than of pure white blood, and there is said not to be the slightest ground for her claim now. But she fell in love with a full-blooded negro, and was married to hm, by a colored minister, not long since. It is uniawfal, in Indiana, for white people and colored people to intermarry, and the couy le were arrested and held fur unlawful marriage. The girl declares she is of colored blood, and will try to prove her allegation in crder to keep her husband, and to keep him and herself out of jail. She is a decided blonde, and of attractive face and manners. Au interesting fact in connection with the late Samuel Edison was that seven years 0, wh on eighty-five years old, he ‘wished to visit Europe. Thomas A. Edison gave him a letter of credit for $1,500, and the old man, with achum_ of his, sixty-five years, whom he called “The Boy,” sailed away, intending to be gone only a few weeks, They were gone over four months, going through England, Scotland, Ireland; France, Germany and Holland, travelling on foot most of the way, ard finally reached home with $650 left. Mr. Edison’s father lived to be 103 years old, and his grandfather was 102 yeare old when he died. The bicycle as a cause of divorce is something new. A male petitioner, In @ recent New Zealand divorce case, had the auiaci y to urge #t. He alleged that his wife was nearly always away from home, wheeling about in rational dress and neg- lecting her domestic duties, and he con- tended that this amouoated to “ habitual desertion ” within the meaning of the act. The judge, however, 45 unable to agree with him in this latter contention, and New Zealand ladies with a fondness for the wheel now breathe move freely. A lady of Washington, who is far more particular about her husband’s appearance than he is, was surveying him with evi: dent disapproval. ‘“ What is the matter? he ioquired. “That suit of clothes. You've had it only three weeks, and it looks as if you had slept in it.” “Ihave, he replied, candidly; ‘‘I wore it to church.” —>- 0 «= Religious services for smokers are the latest outcome in some Parisian thurches. The following circular was recently given out on the boulevards : “Who desire to smoke freely and gratis will please call Sunday afternoon at three o’clock at the Church of the Christ, Rue St. Antoine. A cup of tea and plenty of tobacco free of charge for everybody.” ‘The attendance at this church and at others giving out similar circulars was considerably larger than ordinarily, and the enter- prise is voted a success by those who started it.

A mortgage has been described as an incentive to industry, a heavy mortgage, asasure signe ruin, The last is pardcu- larly true, for if a mortgage is allowed to run it will eat up the farm. In this con- nection Mr. Henry Fowler, of Huron writes: “ From my boyhood scrofula had marked me for a victim and it seemed as if it had a life mortgage on my blood, I suffered fearfully with sores, and know- ing my condition I have remained a single man. Doctor after doctor prescribed for me, and finally a Teronto specialist told me bluntly that my complaint was a deep-seated, incurable, blood disease. Sarsaparilja I knew was a good blood medicine, and I sent for a bottle of the best. Mr. Todd, the druggist, sent me Scott’s Sarsaparilla, and I have stuck to it. It has lifted my wartaages for to-day l am free from thos: horrible sores, my eyesight is not blurred, my tongue is not furry, and I have n> irritation. I look upon Scott’s Sarsaparilla as a marvellous medicine when it will cure a life long disease in so short a time.” Scrofula, pimples, running sores, rheu- matism aod all discases generated by oisonous humors in the blood are cured y Scott’s Sarsaparilla.

Major General Svetlitzky, the gov- ernor of Orkutsk, telegraphs to St. Petersburg in reply to queries regard- ing the reports as to Dr. Nansen’s re- turn that Peter Ivanowitch Kuchnar- eff. who trades at Ust Yansk, under date of November 10, wrote to the merchant, Kuchnareff, at Yakatsk, as follows: “We learn that Dr. Nansen has reached the pole, has discovered hith- erto unknown land, and has now re- turned. Consequently the Arctic ocean has now been explored.” Gov, Svetlit-ky adds that there is no confirmation of this news from other sources, but he has instructed a mem- ber of his administration in the Ver- hoyansk district to proceed to Ust Yansk to verify the news and to aid the expedition if necessary. The above despatch will serve to clear up several obscure points in the news that first came of Dr. Nansen’s return, and goes far to corroborate the report. The fact of there having been two Kuchanefts involved in transmit- ting the first report has led to some confusion and to some skepticism as to the report having been received froma reliable source. It was pointed, out that if the report came from the mer- chant Kauchnareff in Yakutsk there would be no ground for regarding it of special imporcance, as he would have no special facilities for getting news at first hand of Dr. Nansen’s return, But the above despatch asserts that the news came to Kauchnareff of Yakutsk from the trader Peter Ivanowitch Kauchnareft. Now Peter Ivanowitch Kauchnareff is the accredited agent of Dr. Nansen, and has been entrusted with a supply of Eskimo dogs for his expedition. His trading post at Usty- ansk is on the Arctic ocean at the mouth of the Yana river, just south of Liakow island, one of the New Siber- ians, and less than 200 miles east of Lena Delta. HAS DR, The Latest in Socials. An “ experience social” was recently held in a church vestry ina Michigan town, which in some of its features was rather hazardous for its patrons. In this particular instance the usual con- dition of things was reversed, because the young women were paid for the experience they acquired, instead of themselves paying steeply for the priv- ilege of getting it. ‘They shined shoes, tended babies, split kindling wood, and one or two shaved and cut the hair of a few fearless men who attended the social, although this last performance was a terrible ordeal for the brave fel- lows who submitted to it. A “viking” ship recently discovered in East Prussia is estimated to be 1000 years old, and appears to be of the same type as those that carried the Normans to England. It is about forty feet long and comparatively well pre- served. The placing of a statue at Mar- quette at the Capitol at Washington is a liberal acknowledgment of the heroism and devotion of the mission- aries who carried their lives in their hands and trod their land when it was indeed “unknown” and inhabited only hy the savage and the wild beast.

Princess Beatrice, the widow of Henry of Battenburg, will continue to draw her income of $30,000 a year, as it was made a life grant at the time of her marriage. By the death of the Duke of Clarence his brothers and sis— ters gained in income, as the $180,000 a year voted for the Prince of Wales children continued all the same. This provision must serve them during the present reign, whether their state be married or single, with children or without. The Duke of York had an extra allowance on his marriage. The deaths which lost money to the Royal Family were that of the late Prince Consort, whose yearly $150,000 ceas- ed ; that of the Princess Alice, whose $30,000 a year, as Queen’s daughter, was not continued to her German chil- dren, and that of the Duke of Albany, whose $125,000 a year, as Queen’s son, dropped immediately and was but partly replaced by a $30,000 a year from the nation to his widow. Congress and the Cubans. According to late despatches from Paris the newspapers of that city con- tinue their unfavorable comments up- on the action of the United States Congress on the Cuban question. The Figaro says: “Although President Cleveland is not a man to recoil from a conflict with Spain, should his elect- orates interest require it, he will resist the excitement of congress. The Am- erican statesman will not do well to exasperate Europe with the Monroe doctrine. It is certain that Spain will not concede and it is difficult to see what benefit the United States will derive from war.” The Tables Turned. In a divorce case a few days ago in the circuit court in Chicago, it appear- ed that the husband was aged and feeble, while the wife is healthy, with property in her own right from which the rents are $60 a month. A local judge, sitting on the case, granted a judgment of divorce, but embodied in the decree an order granting the husband alimony of $20 a month out of his wife’s income. He said that ‘there was as much moral obligation on a healthy and wealthy wife to sup- port a sick and helpless husband as there was on the husband to support the wife, if the cases were reversed,” And this statement of the equities in the case is not unreasonable. The mother of a family showed the ticket collector on the railway a couple of half fare tickets for her two chil- dren. The official after looking at her doubtfully said, “How old are they ?” “They are only six and they are twins.” “Ah!” Then, after a mo- ment’s pause, the man inquired, “And where were they born?’ “This one was born in London and the other in srighton.” —Tit-Bits. The London County Council have decided that in the future some of the clerks it employs shall be women, It was stated at the meeting last week, at which a resolution to this effect was carried out, that there were certain posts for which a woman would not be eligible, as she would be unable to grapple with the legal questions which come under consideration in these.
