New York, Dec. 13.--Th2 outgoing steamships bound for Europe, to-day, carry the first big lot of Christmas mail sent abroad this year. The ex- isting prosperity throughout the land is evidenced by the unusual volum® of the foreign mail. Steamship officers declare that never in their ¢xperience have thr foreign pouches been so nu- merous and so bulky thus early in. the holiday season. Extra mail clerks have been put on all the big steam- ships carrying the mails, but the post office officials are much worried over the prospect for next week when it is expected the department will be liter ally swamped beneath its heavy bur den.

Report on a Memorable Journey in an Unmapped Region-- About Great Slave Lake--A Great River Discovered--The Natives and Their Wasteful Hunting. ,The Canadian department of the in- terior has just published J. W. Tyr- rell's report of his survey of the wide region between Great Slave Lake and Hudson's Bay, across the Barren Grounds. In this journey he crossed an area of about 90,000 square miles to the north of Doobaunt Lake, that had never been mapped till he brought home rich material for this purpose. He accomplished 1,729 miles of sur- veys, and in doing this work he and his small party travelled 4,600 miles with sledges and canoes. He dixed the geographical position of many hun- dreds of points; obtained 200 photo- graphs, the larger part of which ap- pear in the volume now published; dis- covered a river, hitherto unknown, that is navigable for hundreds of miles, and found the position of the height of land that separates the rivers flowing to the Arctic from those which run to Hudson's Bay. It was a very notable frien, last ing from April to December, 1900, in volving considerable hards hip aud the hardest kind of work, but it was en- joyed by every man in the party. There remain very few opportunities to carry out exploratory work in North America on so large a scale. The journey to Hudson's Bay led Tyrrell straight to Chesterfield Inlet, the long, narrow bit of the sea that penetrates far to the west. About one hundred and fifty years ago two ships were sent from England to try to dis cover the North-west Passage to China. After sailing across they found this deep inlet, up which they pushed; telieving that these waters would certainly carry them to the DPacitic ocean. They ascended about one hundred miles, when they discovered that the water was grow ing fresh, and finally they proved that it was only a deep narrow bay; so they went back very much disgust Hudson's Bay The height of land, ing between the rivers of and the Atlantic systems, is not far east of Great Slave Lake, and is only 1,231 feet the sea at the place where Tyrrell crossed it. A great deal of the country traversed was compara- or water-part- the Arctic above tively level. Series of lakes were met extending in an east and west direc- tion which greatly assisted #he ex- plorer, for travel by water in his light canoes was easier than land tra velling. In the photographs taken of the re- vion near Great Slave Lake a large amount of timber is seen. In sonie places there was timber of important size. He tells of a spruce timber' containing ten and twelve inches diameter."" This was the last timber of importance seen on "nice grove of white trees of the journey east, for this grove is not far from the barren lands. Spruce and birch trees ave the chief timber in this far northern region; and where the timber the land- scape is jndeed a pigfure of desolation although it produces much grass, mosses and other vegetable life for the support of the numerous herds of caribou and musk oxen which wander over the country. We have little idea of the large as pects of Northern Canada. Great Slave Lake, for example, is almost as large 'as Lake Erie or Lake Ontario. One of Tyrrell's pictures shows high waves on this lake, in which _ small boats could scarcely survive; another shows ice bridges piled up by-ice pres Leases, sure on the frozen surface of the lake to a height of twenty to thirty feet. When Alexander Mackenzie floated down the river named after him. into Great Slave Jdlake, he followed the shores of the lake for many days searching for its outlet. It was a long and diflicult task to find it, and so his journey to the ice sea on the northern coast of the continent was considerably delayed. One hundred and fifty miles east of Great Slave Lake the explorer found the junction of the Hanbury and 1 he- lon rivers, the Thelon being the great NOTICE Is hereby given the public that I purpose making it warm for all persons using my coal next win- ter.

He followed the Thelon to the east and found that for 224 miles it had an average width of 250 yards. a depth of six feet and a current of three miles an hour. The depth of the channel in most places was from ten to fourteen feet, but in a few places there were sand bars over which the water was not more than three feet deep. Not a single rapid worthy of the name ex- ists. At several points the current is very swift, but not too strong for canoes going either up or down the river. Tyrrell says that the Thelon river is one of the finest in Canada and is yavigable for river boats, or other boats of light draught all the way from Hudson's Bay through Chester- field Inlet to the forks of the Han- bury, a distance of 530 miles, except- ing perhaps at two rapids on the river above Baker Lake, where some im- provements in the channel might be made. He believes that this large' navigahle highway, extending far into Northérn Canada, is open for naviga- tion during the months of July, Au- gust, September and October. While descending the Thelon he found at one place the putrefying carcasses of hundreds of deer on both shores for a mile or more, where they had apparently been slaughtered by Es-. quimaux, as was shown by the fact that many of them were carved and deprived of the choicest cuts of meat. The Esquimaux at an encampment not far away asserted that this fearful de- struction of deer was due to the fact that they had been caught by the spring ice floe and drowned. This statement, however, was not believed. he chief food supply of the country consists of the great herds of cari- bou, and the fish of various winds which are abundant in all the lakes and streams. There are a large num- ber of musk ox also, but the na- tives find it so easy to slaughter them that they are rapidly diminishing in number. The photographs which accompany the report are large and though not of the very best quality, they vividly illustrate the aspects of that known region. We see the dog sledges that carried the supplies for the party to Great Slave Lake; the forts or trading posts of the Hudson's Bay company that are scattered far and wide; Great Slave Lake, spreading away like a sea, with its wooded shores and the buildings of traders on its banks; views on the little lakes stretching eastward; fine waterfalls in some of the rivers, and wide and noble stretches of the Thelon river. Among the valuable features of the report are the tables of the determina- tion of latitude and magnetic declina- tion, tables of distances and elevation and a complete meteorological record, all of which cover many pages, TO BE ABANDONED. No Memorial Service for Prince Consort. London, Dec. 13.--For the first time in many years December 14th will pass, this year, without the holding of the elaborate services in memory of the prince "consort on the anniversary of his death. During the lifetime of the late Queen Victoria the anniversary of the death of her husband was always marked by impressive services held in the Frogmore Mausoleum, near Wind- sor Castle. The queen would attend these seryices in person and, more: over, insisted that the Prince of Wales and other members of the roy- al family should be present. It was customary on these occasions to have an elaborate musical service furnished by the choir of St. George's chapel and directed by Sir Walter Parratt. King Edward, though the love he bears the memory of his father is well known, has taken his customary practical view of the matter and de- cided that the time has come to abandon the observance. In future memorial exercises for the prince eon- sort and also for Princess Alice, whose death occurred on the same date, will be held in conjunction with the anniversary service for Queen Viec- toria.

The names of twenty Chinamen stand on the membership roll of the First Congregational church, Chicago, as the result of the work of the teach- ers in the Chinese Sunday school held in that church. There are forty-six distinct and se- parate Protestant state churches in the German empire. These churches stand in no organized or official rela- tion whatever to each othey, and they co-operate in no work. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew started in 1856 with thirty-five guilds. Now there are a hundred chapters in New England, twelve hundred in the United States and about fifteen hun- dred in all. Fifteen thousand men -- ten thousand in the United States -- claim membership. A Roman Catholic bishop in Italy has prohibited priests fiom riding on bicycles in public. Other bishops' had granted permission for the use of bi- cycles by priests. It is rumored that the Vatican will shortly publish a de cision allowing the use of bicycles by all ecclesiastics. The presbytery of Minneapolis ex- pelled a minister because he prepared tracts for a brewer in support of the moderate use of intoxicants. He ap pealed to the synod, and that boly sustained the action of the, preshy- tery. The minister will now appeal to the American General Assembly.

The plan is to open the schools with the Lord's Prayer and on certain days in the week to give selected lessons from the Bible. A conscien e clause pro- tects alike the teachers "dnd the taught.

At the Thanksgiving service at St. Paul's, London, on Sunday, recently, neither the king nor queen had a coin in their possession, and instead of contributing to the ofiertory his ma- jesty was compelled to explain the situation to the bishop of London.
