The thrilling news from tho mouth of
the Lena gives spuciul interest to the re
cord of successive expeditions, lasting
over nearly four centuries, and having
for their object the exploration of the
notthern seiii
In the reign of the first Tudor king of
England, whoso stinginess is proveilnal,
but whoso commercial spirit was of
great value to England, John Cabot, of
JJristol, succeeded in persuading his sov
ereign to grant him and his three sons,
of whom Sabastian Oabot was one, let
ters patent for the discovery of new
lands. On the fifth of March, 1I9G,
Sabastian Cabot sailed from tho Bristol
port in command ot two vessels which
had bo.-n lilted up for him by command
of Ilecry VII, witli a view to reach
India by a shorter track than that round
bv the Cane of Good Hope namely, by
a northwest passage. He supposed that
he should, by following this route, suc
ceed in finding fu3t, C.Uhay, and from
thence India in due course. It was to
him. therefore, as says tlio old chionieles,
a creat displeasure to him to lind tliat
the land ran toward the north.
Blulf Kin' Hal followed his father
footsteps in the encouragement of navi
gation. In tho year l.iJi, liobort
Thome, a merchant of Bristol, induced
Henry VIII, "with verv weighty and
substantial reasons, to set iorth a dis
coveiie, oven to the Xoilhl'olo." Cabot,
tho Italian, had not adventured so much
as this. Two ships, the aamson and
Mary, were litted out for iho expedition.
Ouo'of them was lost oft' the coast of
Newfoundland, and the other leturned
homo without having achieved anything
particularly noteworthy.
Towards the end of the fifteenth cen
tury William Barents, a seaman of Hol
land, seeing that the ice of the sea of
Kars was a.great obstacle to navigation
in that direction, proposed exploration
by tho way of thu western side of Xo
vava Zoiulva, and in l.V.U and I.'iO.j

SI ,-iJ IN ADVAIS'C'K,
jyeaii prior to this date, Captain Philips,
iitterwarilH IjOIiI Alulgravy, reached lall
tudo eighty and a half degrees noitli.
Tlieheroof Trafalirar was with the expe
dition. Caiilnin Cook,17"H, saikd from
Kngland in tho "Discoverv," ncconipa-
nied hy tho "Iesolutiuii " He went to
the Pacific by way of the Cape of Good
Hope and pushed on lo hud tho iioilh
west iiassago into tho Atlantic. He
leaelitd beyond the twentieth parallel of
latitude, and then sailed to the Sand
wich Islands to winter. LTpon his being
murdered at Owhyhee, in 177!), C.vjtain
Clarke succeeded him in command of
the expedition, aud penetrated n short
distance faithcr nortli than his illustri
ous predecessor had done. He sailed for
homo in 1780. The nearness of Amer
ica to Asia had been demonstrated by
the expedition first commanded by Cooke
and aiterwards by Claike.
l'assing over explorations made uy
Scoiesby, Biichan and Franklin during
the early years of the presei.t century,
and just mentioning that Boss and Parry
reached by way of Ballin's bay nnd 'lie
North Water as far as eighty degiees
and thirty-two minutes, thus failing to
win tho prizes offered of from X 1,001) to
.",000 for the attainment fioin eighty
three to eighty.nit'o degrees, we come to
mo cxpuutiou comuiatiueo oy i-arry
and in which tho Heclaand Griper weie
engaged. This daring voyager pene
trated tin ouch Lancaster sound into
Barrow strait, but was stopped by ice
and wintered at Melville island. Frank
lin's remarkable land journey of over
j,oOO miles fiom Hudson's bay aud the
Coppermine river to the northern coast of
America was made contemporaneously
with this, aud both achievements added
considerably to tho facts of geography.
From 1S21 to ISiM inclusive, "Parry's
second voyage was made, his ships be
ing the Jury and the llecla. His at
tempt was to pass the channel between
Southampton island and land towards
tho north. Ico prevented the complete
success of this undertaking. Tlio navi
gator spent two winter.- in the northern
latitudes, during which only five men
died out of 1 18. It was in 1827 that ho
began his grand attempt to reach the
north pole by means of sledges. An
choring tho Ilicla in a cove ou the
noithern shore of Spitzbergen, the jour
ney over the ico began on the LMst of
June, and resulted in the greatest geo
graphical achievement up to that date,
namely, the reaching the latitude of
eighty two degrees, forty-live minutes,
that is a distance of about r00 miles
from the pole,
The last Franklin expedition sailed
May 1!, lSI.I, with orders to proceed to
Ballin's bay, then through Lancaster
sound to Barrow strait as far west as
the ninety-eighth degrees of longitude,
to then sail southward s.tul west through
Behring strait, whence, if stopped by
ice, they were to return to Barrow strait
and then proceed northward by tho
channel between North Devon and Corn
wallis island, if practicable. From July
20, 18 1,"), when tho two ships of tho ex
pedition were seen to enter Ballin's bay,
nothing was heard of tho expedition
until IS.il. Expeditions from tho Uni
ted States tml gone out in scaich of
the missing mariners. One of these,
that under Captain MeClure, of tho In
vestigator, which left England in lS.iO,
having parted company with tho Enter
prise, under Captain Collison, reached
the southern extremity of Banks Laud
and found there a narrow strait commu
nicating with Barrow strait. The dis
covery was prosecuted by means of
sledges until, in October, 18o0, the
northwest passago was accomplished.
The feat was subsequently repeated by
the same vovager at the cost of incredi
ble haidship. Ho was rescued fiom
imminent danger in April, 1MII, by the
Resolute, commanded by Captain Kel
licit, nnd tho Intrepid, commanded by
MoL'liutook. After spending four years
in tin' Arctic regions, MeClure reached
England, and was rewarded 10,000 for
his great discovery.
Tho first traces if the lost Franklin
expedition were found in IH.'il by Dr.
Boss of tho Hudson's Bay company, who
when westward of Simpson peninsula,
learned from some Esquimaux that tho
corpses of thirty persons and some
graves had been seen by natives nt the
mouth of the great Fish river. Three
years later the yacht "Fox," commanded
by Captain Leopold McClintock, and
the property o"f Lady Franklin, followed
up the iiiiormaliou at command, aud
found traces of the lost expedition nt
Point Victory and at tho western ex
iremcity of King William's land.
Enough was learned to show that the

an exhausted-looking "special" reporter,
with a shiny coat and a hungry look,

"If you please, s'n, I haven't brought

"What tho devil do you mean, sir ?"
growled the slave pen-driver, aghast at
such audacity from a reportorial peon at
$10 a week.
"Tho fact is," said the interviewer,
after working off a graveyard cough,
"I can't stand it any longer. I'm all

'Hungry, ch ?" sneerod the boss jour

The English birds nre moro domestlo
and familiar than ours i moro directly
and intimately associated with man)
not, as a (lass, so withdrawn and lost in
tho great void of the wild and tho unre
claimed. England is like n continent
concentrated nil the wnsto land, the
barren stretches, the wildernesses left
out. 1 ho birds aro brought near togeth
er and near to num. Wood birds hero
aro house and gaidcn birds there. They
lind good pasturage and protection
everywhere. A land of parks, and gar
tleiis, and hedge-lows, and game pre
serves, and a climato free from violent
extremes what a stage for the birds,
and for enhancing the elfect of their
songs I How prolific they are, how aliun
dant 1 If our songsters were hunted nnd
trapped, by binl-lanciers and other", as
the lark, and gold-finch, and mavis, etc..
arc in England, the raco would soon bc-
become extinct. I hen, as a rule, it is
probably true that tho British birds, ns a
class, have moro voice than ours have, or
cerlain qualities that make their songs
moro striking and conspicuous, such as
greater vivacity and strength. They arc
less bright in plumage, but more anima
ted in voice. They are not so recently
out of the woods, and their strains have
not that elusiveness and lilamtivencss
that ouis have. They sing 'with more
confidence nnd copiousness, and as if
they, too, had been touched by civilization.
Then they sing more hours in the day,
and more days in the year. This is owing
to the tniidcr and more equable climate.
I heard the sky-lark singing above the
South Downs in October, apparently
with full spring fcivor and delight. Tho
wren, the robin, nnd the wood lark sing
throughout the winter, and in midsum
mer there are perhaps threo times as
many vocal throats as here. Tho heat
and blaze of our midsnnimer suu silence
most of our birds.
On the other hand, there are certain
aspects in which our songsters appear to
advantage. That they surpass the Eu
ropean species in sweetness, tenderness,
and melody I have no doubt, and that
our mocking-bird, in his native haunts
in tho South, surpasses any bird in the
world in compass, variety, and execution
is highly probable. That the total eilect
of his strain may be less winning and
persuasive than the nocturne of the
nightingale, is the only question in my
mind about the relative merits of tlio
two songsters. Bring our birds together
as the' arc brought.together in England,
all our shy wood birds like the hermit
thrush,rthe veery, the winter wren, tho
wood wagtail, the water wagtail, the
many warblers, the greenlet, the solitary
vireo , etc. become birds of the groves
and orchards, and there would be a
burst of song inileed.

"No, he hasn't," said thoothor, "I had

He has got acne; that's all."
"Arc you a physician?"
"I am a surgeon."
"What is acne?"
"Acne is merely a cutaneous disease,
producing an eruption like what you see
on his face. Small pox does not look liko
that at all."
"How does it look!''
"Well, whenever you seo pimples de

as a sign of small pox. Small pox pus
tules appear first on the face, then on
the neck and hands, and afterward oa
