obserTalionB of th Austrian ship Tejjet
boff which has just Wen issued in this
country, and which the Hartford Time, in
k literal j review of the volume, lLus epito
mizes it :
Cail Weyprecht, the leader of the naval
part of the expedition, in a German born,
(from Hesse Darmstadt,) who took this
penloii- si ation in the Austrian expedition;
lie is but a'.) now, and his companion in
coirmaiid, Julius Payer, who tMik charge
of the equally perilous sledjje j.miueyinjr,
and the man.igetr.eiit f everything outside
the ship, is now but 39. He is the author
of this interesting book. All told, otticeis
and view, tooir party consisted of twenty -four
persons. Their voyage began in June,
1872. and thev got back alive in Sep ember,
1S74 , no small feat for Polar voyagers, j
They had taken the Nova Zembla route,
because the one along the west coast of i
Greenland was opposed by the great jiolar
current, which carries down and di-sposes
of the ever-forming ice.
To sum up the results of their fearful
journey in a word they discovered, in lat
itude 80, the south shore of an unknown
land which they named, in honor of the
Emperor, Franz Josef Land ; they killed
many ice bears ; they met with some
startling adventures, made a number of
interesting minor discoveries, and came o
the very positive conclusion that if the Pole
is not, as Nates claims, 'impracticable,"
there is at least no open Polar sea that
this idea is. a chimera ; and that the "sea
of ancient Ice," ("palcociystic sea,") re
ported on the northwest of Greenland by
the English Capt Naies, not only extends
all the way to the Pole, but grows rougher
and rougher worse and woisc all the
way. To tdiow how teriible it is in the
Nova Zembla seas it is enough to say hero
that a p:iiy fioin the Austiian ship, we'd
equipped, after trying for two months to
travel over it, found they had at the eiulof
that time leached a distance of just tiii.o
miles.
The coldest time in the polar regions is
at the end of February and the first paitof
March. It was in March that Kane found
his coldest 70 below" zero. There are
ice tloes thiiteen miles in breadth, and
eighteen feet thick ; but the usual thick
ness is half that. Here is a curious uud
interesting statement :
"In the summer of 1873 we observed a
vertical decrease of five or ix feet in the
thickness of Mie ice ; hut this diminution in
thickness was from the snrvice downward,
while in the s-a itself there was litiltj or no
thawing, hecanse the temperature of its sur
face was still below zlto."
Jlrre is another cuiious fact :
' No one who has not actually soen it can
Imagine the blaze of lilit in t lie Arctic re
gions In clear days, or the glow which finals
sometimes over the cold, white Ice Hies,
with their outlines in constant vibration,
while refraction transforms the icebergs into
a variety of shapes. The sun's power is
sometimes so great, as to blister the skin in a
few hours, and the glare from snow and ice
produces snow-blindness, if I he eyes le not.
carefully protected. At a little distance
the sea appears to he of 31 very deep black
color, though it still preserves its ultrama
rine lines in the narrow maiine 'leads ;' even
the pure Itlne of the ln-aveiis may n. called
almost black, when compared with the daz
zling sheen of the ice. In the middle of
June there was an Incessant dripping and
oozi lg in the iee-wiirld. and streams of thaw
water flowed into the open Assures. P.y the
end of tin! month the surface of the ice re
beinblcd miow."
In the Cjreutz Isles, a desolate group off
the northwest coast of Nova Zembla, in
latitude 70 full of sbaip edged rocks, so
closely rammed together that the geologist
of the expedition said they looked as if
"macadamized" in that ir.te.1y foisakeii
spot, under the very shadow of the Aictic
Citcle, was found this form of vegetation :
"Here and thereabout a fathom's length
from each other, lie bro wnish-green masses,
like mole-hills. When we examine them
more closely each mass resolves itself into a
vast number of small plants of the same
species (Saxifraga opposilifoMa), whose lit
tle stalksare coveied ith dark-green leaves,
which are alive, and also with brown leaves,
which have been dead for veirs and vears.
but wither in the cold much more gradually
than with ns. From this small heap, tender
rosy blooms raise, their little heails, bidding
1 fiance to the bitter snowy weather which
sweeps over the miserable plain."
Vie will quote a scene or two 5n the
northern seas which can Fcarcely be snr-p,i.-sd
as a pictuie of tlrange dreamy rest
in die Aictic summer night :
For some days we had entered, into a world
titterly strange to most of us on board the
Tegetihoti". litise mists trequemly envel
oped us, and from out of the inant le of snow
of llio distant land, the rocks, like decayed
batlh meiits, frowned on us inhospitahl v.
There is no morn melancholy sound than
that v Inch accompanies the decay ami waste
of the ice, as It is constantly acted ou by the
pea and thaw, ami no picture more sad and
:jeni?i than the continuous procession of ice-lx-rgH
floating like large white heirs toward.-
the sou ;h.
Ever and anon there arises the noise of
the ocean swell, breaking among the exca
vations of the ice-floes, while the water,
oozing out from their icy walls, falls with
monotonous sound into the gea ; or perhaps
a mass of snow, deprived of its impporf,
drops into the waves, to disappear with a
Lisi:ig sound, as of a flame. Never for a
moment ceaxes the crack ling am snapping
sound produced by the bursting of the ex
ternal portions of the ice. Magnificent cas
cades of thaw-water precipitate themselves
down the aides of the icebergs, which some
times rend with a noise as of thunder, as
the lieams of the sun play on them. The
fall of the Titanic mass raises huge volumes
of foam, and the sea-birds, which had rested
011 its summit in peaceful confidence, rise
with terrified screams, soon to gather again
on another Ich Colossus.-
Hut what achange when the sun, surround
ed by glowing cirrus clouds, break. t through
the mist and the blue of the heavens gradu
ally widens out. The masses of vapor, as
they well np, recede o the horizon, and the
cold ice-floes tiecouiH in the sunlight dark
l"rders to the "leads" which gleam between
them, r.n the trembling surface of which the
midnight sun is mirrored. Where the rays
of the sun do t..t dirertty fall on it the ice
I suffused with a faint rosy haze, which
deepens more and more a the source of
light nears the horizon. Then the sunbeams
fall drowsily and softly, as through a veil
of orange gauze, nil forma lose at a little dis
tance their definition, the shadows liecome
fainter and fainter, and all nature annuities
a dreamy aspect.
In calm nights the air Is so mild that we
forget that we are in the home of Ice and
( pnow. The deep ultra-marine sky stretches
over all, and the outlines of the iee aud the
land treiuhlu on the glassy surface of the
water. If we pull inn lioat over the nn
. moved mirror of the "ice hole," close beside
ns a whale may emerge from Its depths,
like a hi ark shining mountain; if a ship
penetrates Into the waste it looks a weird
us the "Flying Dutchman," and the dense
column of smoke which rise in eddies from
- lier funnel remain fixed for hours, until they
gradually melt away. When the sun sinks
p' midnight to the edge of the horizon, then
nil lite becomes durib, and the icetsrgs, the
rocks, the glaciers of the laud glow in a rosy
effulgence, so that we are hardly conscious
of the desolation.
The sun has readied its lowest point af
ter a pause I; le-gins to rise, and gradually its
paler Imimi are transformed Into a dazzling
brlghtiiftMi. Its softly, warming light dis
polves the ban under which congelation has
placed nature ; the icy streams, which had
ceased to run, ur don n their crystal walls.

On the authority of a fi ionrl who had

lie erected in his back yard a large
box for pparrows' nests. Jt was divi
" 1 ded into three rows, each containing !
J ' four compartments. These were all ;
; speedily taken possession of by a dozen !
i pairs 01 sparrows, and me ousiness
of making nests proceeded amid the
customary chippering din of these
fancy and pugnacious feathered colon
ists. Sitting idly at the window one
' Sunday, watching the birds, the gen
tleman saw one cock-sparrow come

the compartments, and he saw this
bird fix the feather into an incomplete
nest, and then fly away. No sooner
was he out of sight than a female
sparrow from the adjoining compart
ment, who had evidently seen the
proceeding, hopped into her neighbor's
house and pulled Ollt and Carried OtT
the ooveted leather. JJccominrr inter

formance, expecting to see the little
iliief carry her stolen prize to her own
nest ; but no ; she knew a trick worth
two of that, and here is where she
displayed an undeniable reasoning
process and acted upon a clear percep
tion of cause and affect, making a
prudent use of her knowledge of the
character and disposition of her plun
dered neighbor. She flew ofF with the
feather to a ne'ghboi ing tree, where she
securely fastened itin an inconspicuous
place upon and between two twigs, and ;
there left it. Pretlv soon the bird s!ie j
had defrauded came back with a straw -
to add to his nest. Discovering his '

ruping that boded no good to the
destroyer of his hearth and home if he
could only Dnd the rogue. His first
demonstration was to visit his next
door neighbor without any search
warrant. In that abode of peace and
innocence he found no trace of the
stolen feather: and as for the actually
