IX TUP DELTA OP THE LEX A.
Among the Takat.
The ttory pet forth bv Chief Engi
neer George V. Melville, in hi book
In The Lena Delta, jut published
bj Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co.,
is the same old story so familiar to
all readers of the record which the
unconquerable and adventurom An-glo-Saxoo
race bit- carwi wherever
duty was to be done or danger en
counteredha otten written in its
own blood. Toil endured, peril con
frouted, privation subuiitted to, dif
ficulties overcome .all with the sicgle
beartedness and rmatte-of-fact mod
ety of the race, this is the story of
Melville.
The cruise of the-fated Jeannette
is adverted to but brief! v, the story
proper beginning with the separa
tion of the boats of De Long, Mel
ville and Chipp in the gale of Sep
tember 13, 1W1, and including the
history ot the search for De Long.
There is a brief account of the ac
count of the rescue of Greely, Mr.
Melville having accompanied the re
lief expedition under Commander
Scbeley, and a plan for reaching the
Pole that is not unworthy of discus
sion. The book is handsomely turn
ed out, and copiously illustrated, and
the story is told with a refreshing
plainness and abstention from rhet
orical excess which enhance its ef
fect Toe incidental allusions to the
power of the ice and the perils of
the Polar seas are graphic. We read
of crowding and tumbling floes,
across which seams run and rattle
with the noise of thunder, while
blocks of ice fifty feet high are puf
fed up or tossed across the surface,
and of the chaos of milious of tons
heaped against the rocky islands,
defying the progress of even the
unhampered pedestrian. Mr. Mel
ville blurs the romantic picture of
the Et-quimaux calmly fitting in
shoe-shaped tlcds. with the lif-hes
of their lung whips sailing graceful
ly behind, while the dugs dash in
full cry atid perfect unison across
smooth expanses of snow and ice,
and substitutes in its place a scene
as full ol action, if not of progress :
Dogs yelling, barking, bnapping and
fighting, the leaders in the rear and
the wheelers in the middle, all as
hopelessly' tangled up as a basket
ful of eels. Such tangles the Yakut
dissolve by merciless pounding with
heavy iron -lipped staves, until the
poor brutes become more tractable
and scud along the hard snow at a
six mile gait After an hour's run,
the team is released and allowed to
roll in the snow and lick their paws
that to soon liecome sore with travel.
Curiously enough, the Siberian dog
returns promptly to harness when
called. Mr. Melville gives a pathet
ic description of the poor creatures,
starved and broken down,with bleed
ing feet, when cut loose and aban
doned: "They would follow aftr
for a little distance and then, unable
to go further, sit on end and howl
dismally, seeming to realize their
fate to die of starvation or be de
voured by wolves."
Of the retreat from the Jeanette.
it is enough to say that having to
haul the sleighs singly, and to avoid
hummucks, etc they often had to
travel from tw.ty-five to thirty-two
miles to advance two or three ; mean
while the flow was drifting in the;
contrary direction, so that alter a
fortnights toil in shoes full of holes
and even in their bare feet, the men
found they bad lost twenty-four
miles. When Melville's lucky crew
reached the land it was with fingers
that could not appreciate the differ
ence between a roje and a needle ;
their legs were frozen from the knee
down, and had burst their coverings
so frightful were the swellings ; the
flesh was spongy to the touch.
"When one of the men, entering the
smoky hut, stepped on my left foot,
the skin gave way from the ankle
down, and shot him off to one side
like a 6hip slipped from a greased
launching way."
Life among the Yakuts must be
like a nightmare. Forty per cent,
are blind and GO per cent, partially
eo.or one-eyed,and syphilitic disease
prevail to an awful extent "Man
ners none, customs beastly," might
be the verdict of the travler. "I have
Been," says Mr. Melville, "forty per
sons sleep in a hut 1G by 24 ana 7
feet high. For food they have salt
less fish, geese nunc till they become
putrid, flour mixed with spruce
chips whatever will distend the
stomach. Melville made his first
journeys with little other sustenance
than the heads and offal of fish
that could be found in abandoned
huts, rotten deer bones, tendous and
rawhide. One of his guides set out
on a journey ot 200 miies with a team
of tired dogs and no provisions but
a tiny piece chipped from a block
of lea. Of the capacity of the Ya
kut stomach we have a graphic if
not reproducable account at page
316, the Siberian Gargantua swallow
ing nearly nineteen pounds of mel
ted butler at two long drinks. Little
as the natives have they are cheated.
The Russian tax-gatherer keeps them
inignorance of the advance in the
value of furs during the last genera
tion and collecting in kind pays a
small portion of the proceeds in cash
into the treasury ,and steals the re?!,
while gamblers infest the villages
systematically ,buy w hatever the na
tives have to sell and cheat them
out of the money. Nevertheless
these poor wretches supported the
ship wrecked crew, and showed no
little capacity lor fidelity and obe
dience ; there is a picture of a frol
icsome young bride's love-making to
her bashful husband, which has a
touch of the idyl about it, and Mel
ville found near the Pole, as Mungo
Park at the Kauator, that the wo
man's her rt always has a fount of
sympathy for the suffering and the
fitrauger. He 6ay (p. 11)0).
"The women at once busied them
selves in the removal of my outer
garments, and gazing at my frozen
and puffed up hands, broke into a
clamor of exclamations and ques
tions. Presently I began to feel the
effect of the heat; my slusgish
blood began to circulate more freely
and went pulsing painfully through
toy frozen limbs; and when the
women, ignorant of my condition,
took hold of the top of the mocca
sins to pull them off. they also par
tially peeled the ekin from my legs
until they bled and I cried out in
agony. The poor creature started
back aa though struck, while the
rest crowded around and craned
their necks to have a look at the
bleeding, bair matted sores, weeping
and saying: "Poor white man, he
suffered from the cold !" The wom
an next used their knives, and rip
ping the outer earns of the mocca
tins, removed them as gently as pos
sible, leaving the hair of the fur
stocking stickinin the wounds ;
then the frozen limbs were given a
bath by pouring water over them,
and when dried, they were fanallv
smeared with goose greaae. by this
time I was seized with n uocon
trollable drowsiness, and notwith
standing the babbling of tongues
about me, lell mw a sound

length, to find myself carefully cov
ered up with the furs of the natives.
Traveling by deer-sled, though
rapid work f-ome of Mr. Melville's
posting was done at almost railroad
Seed, as 140 versts in 13 hours, 80
iu 6r hour, and 900 versU (the vert
i two third of a mile) in 5 days
and 18 hourais not always pleas
ant, either to traveler or to animal.
The wilds are pathles; occasionally
the driver has the excitement of pur
suit by a iog-teaia ravenous for veu
i6on; the sleds overturn on the
slightest provocation. The deer are
kept to their work by being punch
ed in the haunches with a pole.
"When driven at the top of their
speed tbey labor painfully along,
with heads thrust forward, nostrils
distended, sides working at every
leap, like a great pair of nlacksmith's t
bellows, and the noise oi ineir
breathing like the exhaust ofa loco
motive. Maintaining their fearful
exertions fur about half an hour
they suddenly swerve among the
trees, or up a "steep bank, to avoid
their tormentor, or dropping down
in their tracks, bury their heads
with open mouths in the snow, and
eat voraciously of the cooling dust"
Tne cattle are housed, during the
winter months, under the sane roof,
and frequently in the same apart
ments, with their owners : the hors
es are not stabled, even in the se
verest weather, but dig through the
snow for grass, or crop twigs and
branches of trees.
Concerning the Siberian exiles
Mr. Melville tells u a good deal.
One, whom he met repeatedly, was
a law student who had been arrest
ed for participation in a student's
street row. After three examina
tions the Courts could find nothing
against him, nevertheless he was
packed off to the frozen North for
life on an "administrative order,"
which said: "We can find nothing
against this man; but he is a law
student, and no doubt very danger
ous." This exile's companions
whose ages ranged from IS to 27,
wre all profes-ional men and con
firmed Nihilists, though several
said they h;td not been eo until
after their banishment Each was
allowed S1250 with which to feed,
clothe and house himself and pro
cure fuel and service; this where rye
meal costs nearly 8 cents a pound
and sugar 50. Some of the exiles
with wealthy friends receive alli
ances from "them, but thesa must
not exceed 8150 at one payment,
and mails ore very irregular say
twice a year, with packages at odd
intervals through traveling mer
chants. No exile may send or re
ceive a sealed packet. The natives
are held accountable, under penalty
of imprisonment and the knout, lor
anv escapes.
One of the exiles met by Melville
had been a practicing physician in
the Crimea; he had neither commit
ted a crime nor belonged to a so
ciety; he might, however have of
fended a rival by his marriage,
lie had been treating the child
of the local police-master, but
she was convalescent when, one
morning, he was sent for 4y that
official sent for with such urgency
that he was not allowed to finish
his breakfast or take an overcoat.
On reaching the official's residence
he was told that he was a pusoner,
on an "administrative order," and,
without being permitted to bid fare
well to his young wife, or to obtain
money or clothing, he was packed
off to Siberia within twelve hours.
His wife followed him to Irkutsk,
intending to join him in exile, hut
he was moved on ta Vtrkerausk,
2000 miles distant, just before her
arrival; she went mad and died in
despair at this ending of her 4000
mile journey, and he, after an at
tempt at suicide, settled down in
his hojelessness to practice his pro
fession without fee, since no exile
is allowed to gain money for him
self. He was not a Nihilist; indeed,
he was in indifferent rtpute with
companions because of bis modera
tion "in politics. There is some sat
isfaction in reflecting that the Nihil
ists utilize their reputation for
bloodtnirstiness and desperation in
order to worry the officials and to
make the traders sell them goods at
a discount One exile, a poet and
scholar, whose translation of the
Bible was appropriated by the Bish
op of the diocese, attempted an es
cape by securing a "double" a Cos
sack closely resembling him, and
trained and educated till the de
ception could hardly be discovered,
being substituted for him, but his
clever plan miscarried, and he was
sent into a severer captivity. The
only contented exiles are the
"Scaups' (hkoptzoi?), who mutilate
themselves so that they cin neither
beget nor nurse children. They are
teetotalers aud vegetarians, live in
communities under police surveil
lance, and farm exten-ively.

A Startling; Discovery.
Mr. Wm. Johnson, of Huron
Dak., writes that his wife had been
troubled with acute Bronchitis, for
many years, and that all remedies
tried gave no permanent relief, un
til he procured a bottle of Dr. King's

Cuzeo. the ancient capital of the
, d . Empire of Peru is situated
bigb up among the Anden.at a poiut
bo elevated that, although under
the tropics, is has the climate and
products of the temperate zone. It
still has many remains of Incaarchi-
tecture.dislineuished fonts massive-
iiess, which are likely to endure for
centuries to come. On a bill, or
eminence, nearly a thousand feet
hiirh. overlooking the city, are the
remains of the great Inca fortress of
the dm sa-Dua man, in uiewirmiug
of which Juan Pizarro, the brother
of the conqueror of Peru, was slain.
This fortress was built of gigantic
stones, or rather rocks, and their
great size and the accuracy with
which they are fitted together aston
ish all who see them.
In front of this lortress is a curi
ous, dume-shaped mass of rock, call
e 1 the Ro da-riero. aud sometimes
also La Ptedra Lisa, or "smooth
rock," because iu convex surface is
grooved, as if the rock had been
squeezed up, while in a plastic state,
between irreguUr and unyielding
walls,and then hardened into shape.
A ntass ol dough, forced up under
the outspread hands, would give
something of the same appearance
in miniature. But the hollows of
Ihe grooves on the Peruvian hill are
smooth and glassy. It is said in
the old chronicles and traditions,
tbot the Inca youth, long years ago
amused themselves by coursing, or
sliding through these .polished
grooves on festival days and holy
days ; and this custom is still prac
ticed by the modern youth of Cuzco.
There is one advantage, and it is a
great one, too, which these boys
possess over the northern boys, who
live in the land of iceand snow, and
that is, it is not necessary for them
to toil up a long and slippery hill,
dragging after them their heavy
sleds, which grow heavier with ev
ery step they take, so that the lon
ger they ride the harder work it is
to get back to the starting place.
The Cuzco bov sits down at the top
of the rock in one of the grooves,
and with a slight start away he goes
with ail the speed imaginable, until
he readies the bottom, sanding in a
soft bed of earth : then he picks
himself up, runs around to an easy
place of ascent, and is up again "n a
minute to repeat his ride. St. Nich

A Bad Subject.
Colonel Mateland was recently
appointed agent of a well-known
life insurance company. The high
standing of the Colonel and his ex
cellent qualifications as a business
man immediately secured tor him
a remunerative run of business.
The other day, while sitting in his
office, a healthy-looking man enter
ed and said that he would like to
have his life insured. "I am in a
hurry," said he "for my friends are
waiting for me at the door. I want
a $10,000 policy."
The company's physician, who
was present, pronounced him sound,
and the policy was soon made out
Several days liter a friend met the
Colonel in the street and said:
'What businefs did young Blu
mus have with you the other day ?"
"Had his life insured."
"And you insured it?"
"Of course. Why shouldn't I?
He is in good health."
But I believe he will die sudden
ly." "We have an eminent physician
to decide upon such possibilities.
What makes you think he will die
suddenly ?"
"Oh, it's nothing to me, Colonel.
