"Can yoa eive me a general idea of what the aarface of the ooantry is like ap there 7" as the reporter. "The general idea, I think, we have ia of a snrface entirely and always covered with ice." "Well, that is pretty near it. Aboat the only bare apota are the perpendionlar faces of the rocky shores, with here and there a bitof atanted vegetati' n darms; the Aictic Bommer. The «est shore of Davia Straits is very moantainone, only bri ken here and there by a 'fewer' (fiord) as we call Arctic rivers. I don't know as anybody has ever been on those mountain tops to see what they bear, but I c'cn't think they're up to much. Wouldn't care to own a fsrm there, anyway." "Do you know Low icebersja are foimed 7" he asked, by way of taming the subject to something he had more definite knowledge about. "You know an iceberg ia made of freah water while the water they fioat }n is salt. Some people think that theialtines? is taken out by the freezing; That's a misr take. It is the spring water falling down the mountain sides tlut make iceb«rga. It runs from the springs in the mounta ns and freezes as it talis until its accumulated weight breks it off and it goes diifting down the channel, if it falls into pUncy of water.

"No, we never had a vessel ground up in the ice in our voyages always had the good luck to get out ot the way. The way we did it was to make artificial harbors in the shore ice. When we taw a big ice-floe com- ing, and the wind waa crowding it to onr side of the channel, it was 'hurrah toys I' I tell ye. We carried long ice saws with pulley attachments and trestles to support them overhead. When put in position for sawing a pari; of the ciew manned the pul- ley ropes while others held the tseth oi tlie saw against the ice. The rope and pulley nuule the raising of the saw easv. and its own weight carried it down. We would start three saws at the outer edge of the ice and cut three seams, starting a hundred feet apart and verging toward each other. When the two shorter seems met, and a small tri- antnilar piece of ice had been shoved out in- to the current it was easy to loaen the larger piece and send it adrift. Then we unship- ped our rudder and hauled oar vessel inso the harbor we had made just in time, seme- times, to see a cake of ice ten to twenty miles in area go grindinc; past our little luur- bor of refuge. The ice we sawed through would be ten feet thick, and the sawing took us five hoars Eon-.etimes. "Bat we got the mo«t excitement out of our fishing. Talk aoout our fresh water regattas. If yoa could take a crowd up there to witness a whaler °s crew get away after a fish it wqnld be something worth seeing," said the old sailor, as his atorm- dimmcd optics aeemed trying to flaah yoath- fnl fire again in the mental contemplation of a Spirited picture he had once been a figure in. "A big thing on ice," suggested the report- er, just to show he was luteniog.

London, as might be expected, with its population of 4.000:1)00. takes pieoedence of all other great cities in its list of pnblica tions,^ which very nearly approaches 2,000 These have an annual circulation of about 1,017.000,000 copies. Bat while London shows a longer cata- logue than any other eity. Paris, with a po- pulatioa of leas than 2 000.000. issnes 1653 periodicals, and these have an acnoal cir- colaticn of aboat 1.000,000.000 ot^ea so that, ill pomt of fact, the citizens of Paris are far more liberally supplied with daily rr weekly literary provonder than their British neighbors. In fact it is estimated that the joaroalistio products of Paris amocnt annnaJIy to almost one-tenth of the feme of the entire press of the globe. NewYotk and Brookljn (which bear to one another scmswhat the same relation as Birkenhead to Liverpool) have a combined population nearly equal to that of Paris. They produce 587 publicationc, with an annual citcalatioa ot about 516.000.000 B rlin prodnces 536 Vienna, 483 Madrid, 253 Rome, 211. showini; a gradual diminu- ticn till we reach St. Petersburgh, with a population of 601,969 and only 57 periodi- cals. The latter, howevtr, are exceedingly varied, end offer something for aJl tastes^ literary classei, meoical students, horse- breeders, stock-rearers, musical societies, law, mathemaUcs, horticulture, agriculture, the drama, commerce, satire, history, es- clesiastical questions, science, and a very limited allowance of politics. I most not omit to notice cna point of in- terest, suggested by the languages which chiefly predominate in this vast newspaper literatare. Thoagh there are comparativeiy few tongues which are not in some meaaara represented, ^e find that an enoimoua ma- jority are published in four languages. As a matter ot coarse Engl ah heads the list, inasmuch as English speaking races have pecpkd North Amenca and Australasia. The Grerman races rank second, the French third, and Spanish fourth but, inasmuch as the latter tongue is the lingua franca of Mexico and South Amarica, it is probable that it will find a more extensive ciiculation in print as these nations advance. Mean- while, the proportion is as follows â€" Eng- lish, 16 500 pnblioations German, 7.350 French, S.S.'iO Spanish, 1 600. Taking the nationality of. the 34,000 papers of the world we find that close upon 32,000 are published in Enr pa and North America, leaving little over 2,000 for all the r^st of the world South America OLly issues a sufficient namber to allow each of its inhabitants three newspapers a year- exhibiting the carious contrast in this, as in all else, between the great Northern and Southe: n Continents. The combinea annual product of Asia and Africa amounts to 227.000.000, which, in proportion to the population, would allow one copy in ten yeara for ea'ih person. Of course the nowspaper circulation of Africa is confined to the extreme north and south, with a very feeble commencement on the woit coast. In like manner Asia has neither supply nor demand except in parts of Tar- key, Persia, China and Japan. Not a news- piper of any sorts is to be found in Arabia, Afghanistan, Beloochistan, or Turkestan. Strange, to say, China, that nation which of all others holds literature (that is to say, its o vn dry-as-dust classics concerning a le- mote past) in highest honcr, has so smUl a thirst for news of the present day, that it produces fewer papets than any other na- tion with the smallest claim to civilization. The proporticn of newspapers to population is in the ratio cf about one pabUcation to 2,000,000 inhabitants. The Chinese Empire produces only 22 periodicals, of which 12 are in Chinese, 9 in English, aad 1 in French. Even of this small namber, the circulation id extraordinary small, and, as a r^e, a newiipaper may b3 said to be a thing un- known to the 400,000,000 inhabitants of the Celestial Empire.

A second glance at the objfC:, however, showcidhim that there was sonieching remarkable aboat it, and this prompted him to take np the night glasses, and he broaght them to bear upon it. The result was a perfect surprise to him, for there undeniably was the muoh doubted sea serpen e. It rose BETWEEN TWENTY AND THIRTT TBBT from the water at the least. It appeared to rise parpendicularly fiom the sea by a movement which resembled more the open- ing of a telescope than anything else he could name. As it appeared above the water Its body seemed to expand as if inflat- ed with the air, and the body t^^joreiitoff from the snrface of the water towards thei head. At tha water, as near as hecoold jadge, the diameter of the body mast hav«f been between three and foar feet. The wbo'e appearance of the creature was that of a huge ccnger eel, the head, which was an enormous size, resembling that of this species of fiis^ in every putioalar, The head was the most prominent part of the creature and principally attractea hia attention. Tne body of the beast appeared to be STBIPED LIKE A HACKEBEL with black and light culored bar4 ranning round the body mingling in black at the back and a silver gray at the belly. After looking at the creature through the glass safficently lo' g to comprehend what it was, he r.n aft to notify the captain and a couple of passengers they had aboard. By the tinie they had hurried into their slothes and got on deck, however, the serpent bal dis- ttppeared. It appeared s^uddenly to sight tbe ship and aank beneath the water with the same steady telescopic movement with ' which it had elevated itself, altbongh quick- er. The part of the brute which appears paorticularly to have impressed i^ sell upon his memory was the mouth, which much resembled that of a shaik. About two teet below the head TWO TRIHBNBOVS HNS. stack out from the body, extending for sev- eral feet oa either side. Fortunately the creature rose to the surface again and waa seen by Captain Bead and the passengers, or ^the setpent might have been set dow^ as the fruit of the imaginations of himself, ^he lookout and tbe wheeloian. As a matter of fact he remaiked that even with so inany reliable witnesses as to the gennineas of .the serpent he would not have believed i^i'it, had he not seen it with his own eyes. He had, he said, given ^he matter serious c3nsideration sin:e see- ing the serpent, and he is now unable ti ac- coant for hia previous scepticism on the subject of seaserpants, as it is easy te sup- pose that sea eels are capable of attaining a gigantic size. The serpent on the second cocasion of rising was about half a mile dis- tant from the ship and well within the range of the night glais It rose in the same quiet manner as before and was ex- posed to view altc^ether aboat three min- utes. Bafore sinking below the surface it opened its month to its fallest extent, asif gulping in a supply of afr, and closing its jaws gave vent to A LOUD BELLOW resembling both a dog's bark and the lowing of a cow. The noise was one of the most horrifying things imaginable, and inyolan- tarily all en the deck of the "Silkworth" trembled when they heard it. The lookout and the other members of the steamship's craw who saw the creature corroborate the chief officer's statement in every particular, and the affair ia regularly entered ia tiie log. The lookout stetss that he first saw it when its head had risen above the snrface, and hia attention was di- rected to it as the only object in sight. â-  â-  ' 1 ' SANCTUM-ONIOUS LETITT.

The deliSate flattery oonvayed in snob a tribute to his favoiite pnrsait as the six auperb horses sent by tha Emperor Frana Josef coald not be withstood by one whose generosity is likely to pass in'o a proverb, aad as the most pleasing aoknowledgement of the same in hit power to make, tha saltan decided to allow serions negotiations to commence with Baron Hirsch for the constmotion of the required length of rail- way. The Torkish railway king is expect- ed here shwtly to conduct the a£Eair in person. He is sure to succeed, as no one knows so well how, when, and where to use the arguments that i^ne carry weight in Turkey as the wily baron, who has managed to have a huge railway system constracied in the name of the porte with other people's, money, apparently for his sole benefit. Not satisfied with what he has already made out of the affair, to the pHrejadice of the- Ottaman treasury, the leasee of the Boumelian lines now comes forward with an offer which is no compliment to the acuteness of the Turks. The baron is ready to undertake the construction of the line at his own expense, and to work it, giving thelOttoman government, as his dratt con- tract declai»B, a large share of the gross re- ceipts. Thm sounds well, but a vary cur- sory examination will show that the propos- ed bargain is all in favor of Baron Hirsch. The new line is to form a link in the general system, and as such is leased with the other sections to the constractor until snch tims as the share of the receipte cairied to tbe credit of the porte shall have reached the amount cxpeaded upon it by Baron Hirsch. The Ottoman government is to receive 47^ p r cent- of the gross receipte n^on the whole linesâ€" so rum the proposed arrange- ment. It would seem, however, that before any division at all is mule 7,000 franca ier kilometer have to be handed over to the work'ng company as cost of administration aiid working, etc. It may te safely pre- dicted that for many years to oome the books of the company will show little in the- way of earnings beyond the 7.000 francs above referred to, aad thus the new contract with Hirsch, if concluded, will tend to se- cure the pcssession of these railways to him for an indefinite period. There in joy anaong the Armenian saraffs. His imperial majesty has ordered the grand vizier to make some arrangement for the payment of the bavallehs. For the benefit of the uninitiated, it may be explained that a havAlleh is a bill upon a provincial treas- ury. These bills are given when the treas- ure-chesto of the department are dry, either in payment for goods purchased or as sala- riei to the army and navy. Usually, they were discounted for cash at lates varying from 40 to 50 per cent, discount. Eventu- ally they were paid in full, so that the traffic in havallehs was very profitable. Recently the grand vizier obtained a iradeh, putting a stop to all further encashment of these bills, and so they became a drag in the market. Tbe holders, howeverr have been vigorously attacking the generosity cf the sultan by petitioni, and a% last made a formidable demonatration at the pialace. which in tbe time of Mabmoad would have aent their heads rolling in the dust. A de- putation of some sixty per oos drove in car- riages to Yildiz, asking permission to lay a petition at the feet of their sovereign. After some parleying, three of their number wore adniitted to the presence ot the 3bief cham- berlain, and they placed in his hand a stato- naent of their grievaaoos for transmission to • Us majesty. The reader should nnderstand that it is not the intention of the govern- mens to repudiate these papers, but merely to put a stop to the traffic which has benefit- ed a few officials while enriching a lot of usurers at the exppnsa of the army uid navy. The idea is to obtain a proper ao- count of this portion of the floating debt by compelling registration before settlement. â€"CoHttoHtmople Gor.
