ROAR OF THE ARCTIC.
8ull?n Thunder of tho St'as and tho
"Voicas of tho loo."
Mont of ub cherish tie Idea tbat In
the far reaches of th? Arctic circle
there prevails au ever'asting death
like itlllDess. But those who have
spent much time In the far north as
sure us that tbat region Is far from
being silent, although so little life Is
manifest for the greater oar* of the
year.
On polar seas the Ice. tlioiigb thick
and solid as granite. Is bnnlly ever stll!.
There are tides In the arctic, and
these lift and lower the huge icefields,
causing them to give out all manner I
of noises. Even as late as November
the pack will wake up without warn
ing and pile itself In huge heaps with
Indescribable crashing*, groaning* ai<d
roarings. Peary s peaks of the "rabid
roar" of the "tumbling chaos of Ice
blocks." His Eslklmott were terribly
frightened and set up weird bowlings.
Tbe dogs whined and barked, and alto
gether the noise was terrific. Every
arctic explorer has given similar ac
counts.
The movements of tbe ice? the grad
ual crowding and pressing, bending
and pushing, tbe breaking of the
masses of snow lying at the "lee foot"
-have given rise to the expression of
explorers, "The voices of the Ice." It
may be that one will hear a low ring
ing. splashing or grumbling, alternat
ing with various other sounds, crack
ing and snapping. These sound lrreg- j
ularly from a great distance, like a
confusion of human voices, the racket
of a railway train or the skurrylrg of
a sledging party. Then, ngaln. tbe
noises are such as to cause tbe ex
plorer to fancy he bears the steps and
voices of various species of animals.
Spring Is the noisiest tltne In the po
lar seas. McClure of the Investigator
compared the breaking up of the Ice
at that season to heavy thunder or the
sound of great guns. Another writer
likened the sound of the breaking ice ;
floe to (hat produced by a volcanic J
eruption.
Moreover, the air In the arctic re
gions Is seldom absolutely still. Oale*
are fre<|neut. The wtuter winds, 'ac
cording to Peary, blow with almost
unimaginable fury. On one occasion
In tbe cabins of tbe Roosevelt the
sound resembled that of some gigantic
power plant, everything vibrating to
the pulsation of the machinery. Tbe
whole atmosphere was filled with tbe
deep, sullen roar of tbe wind, ard so
thick was the clowl of snow picked up
and swept forward on the wings of tbe
gale that powerful larai>s were Invisi
ble ten feet away.
On high ground, suob as tbat of In
ner Greenland, tbe wind Is never still.
Nansen tells of the constant hiss of
the breeze laden with tlry bits of Ice. '
which flowed along knee high like 4
shining white river glittering In tbe
pale arctic sunlight.
Nor Is there lack of sounds caused
by anlmnl life. In the arctic may of
ten be beard tbe baying of wolves and
the parking of seal, while in the sum
mer the harsh cry of sea birds echoes
along the faces of the cliff?. ? Harper's
Weekly.
Formation of World*.
There are two hypotheses in reference
to the condition of the matter of tbe
universe nt the moment when science
begins Its discussion of the formation
of the r-orlds. Both thes? agree that
tbe matter was In a nebulous condition.
As Professor Young says: "This does
not assume that matter was created
In a nebulous condition. As tbe egg
may be taken as the starting point for
the life history of tbe animal, so tbe
uebula may be taken as the starting
point for tbe life history of tbe planet
ary slstem." On one theory the nebula
was in tbe form of a heated gas; on
the other. It was a cloud of cold me
teoric dust. This latter many astron
omers think Is more likely to be true

"I am disappointed In yon. Llvo on

He Got on Deck.
A sailor who hnd li.nded after a long
voyage, and having been paid off, wis
ed a cab, threw his luggage inside and
jumped on top himself.
"Beg pardon, sir," said the astonish
ed cabman, "but you should get Inside
and put your boxes on top."
"Steer the craft ahead, Jnrvey. Pas
sengers always go on deck and lug
gage in the hold," was the reply Iron

"I understand that you once sacg In
a glee club."
"Yes," replied the screat politician.
"And I want to tell you when a man
with a voice like mine can hold a po
sition in a glee club It shows that he
Is some officeholder." ? Los Angeles

Breakage.
"My new fook broke her word to me
to come early."
"Well, If her word to you is all she
breaks in the house yon are getting off

Join. China man. shipbuilder, when

tbe superiority of hia method over ev

woods he uses In his construction.
Tbe *eait>s of tbe holl are canlked

a cement of oil and gypanm. The

When It comei equipments, they
soera antiquated compared with the
one.i we employ. The windlass la no
elongated, barrel shaped roller extend
ing across the broad bow, on either
side of which I* arranged a series of
fixed spokes bearing a strong resetn
hlancc to a wheel without a tire. From
this Is hung gnjat teak wood anchors

ChlLa. Among the northern Chinese a
long mainmast carrying short lug nl ?
la found. In th?- southern country the
sails are generally of woven mat strips
sewed Into a single sh?et and provided
with yards at the top and bottom. The
bamboo ribs crossing It serve to keep
the hoops on th? must in place and en
able the boatmen to bnol the sail clo*e
on the wind. This mainsail Is the chief
dependence. though sometimes a
"driver" Is plactd on the tsBPrsli and a
small sail near tbe bow. But bowsprits
at* not considered at all necessary by
John Chinaman.
In tbe matter of rigging we find John
quite famUtiir with everything be re
quire*. Halyards, sheets and brakes
are tifwd as witb us. Bis blocks, though
latger. are not us shapely snd are
fewer In nntnbtr. Clrunsy aa the rud
