The Arctic Ocean is very shallow, and it is natural to suppose that there would be areas of land uplifted above its surâ€" face. So much may be taken for granted as a fact; but nobody can say with certainty whether the land is a continent or an archipelago of islands. Gen. Greely, the famous explorer, beâ€" lieves, that it is a continent. He says that immense masses of landâ€"made ice are seen floating southward through Kane Sea and Smith Sound under such circumstances as render it certain that they must come from.a land area far to the â€"north. . The very size of the bergs proves that the land area must be of great extent. On one occasion he saw in Smith Sound such .floeber% that was 800 feet thick and that mus have required something like â€" 2400 years for its formation. ~. _ .. . ‘The Esquimaux declared positively that the three men were not of their people. Their dress and actions made this a certainty. If so, whence did they come ? The only tenable theory seemed to be that they had drifted on an ice floe from an unknown land far to the north, the existence of which was asâ€" serted by a tradition among the Esâ€" quimaux. They say that some bf their people were once carried aw:tf by a storm and reached this land, subseâ€" quently returmwy. One of the naâ€" tives was so ident of the truth of the story that he begged Capt. Herenâ€" deen to secure for him a passage on & northâ€"bound whaler, in order that be might go with the ship as far as possiâ€" ble and.then leave it to complete the adâ€" venturous journey in his little boat. _ Now, the &qluimaux are proverbial for their hospitality and amiable inclinaâ€" tion towards strangers, and they were astonished when the three men took fright on seeing them and ran away over the ice to the northward. . This was what had caused the excitement. There is an Esquimau village at Point Bsrrow, and also a whaling station. One day there was a great commotion, and Capt. Herendeen saw half the people of the village running, evidently much excited. _ They came to him and told him that three strangeâ€"looking men had been seen on the ice off the Point. They were dressed peculiarlyâ€"not in deerskins, but in a white fur which was supposed to be that of the polar bear. They acted as if very tired, and it was noticed that they bhad no guns. _ This last point was particularly rising, inasmuch as nobody in that ;:!r?o! the world ever goes out uTsTERIOUS CONTIAENT ISs THE NORTH POLE REGION IN HABITED AND BY WHOM? and clear water too. Good and scienâ€" tific reasons lie back of these assumpâ€" tions. â€" That the region in question is inhabited by various animals is an un disputed fact. It can not be asserted with human confidence that buman beings do not live thore. It is known that several species of birds live and breed in ragions so far to the north of any point «s yet reached by explorers. They are ssen migrating toward the pole, their flocks vanishing into the unknown beyond. â€" Obviously, SLID INTO THE SEA. WITHOUT A GUN P oraily Knd"u a : igure equally. ‘as: high.

"In a Phillde‘l)ghh college," said a fourth disciple Aesculapius, * two students came nesr having the wits scared out of them ‘by one of nature‘s caprices. They were workinfl'dili- gntly upon a subject. when, as if sudâ€" denly having become imbued with life, denly having become imbued with life, it raised up from a recumbent to a own hands over his face several times, had allowed him to wrench away the dead. arm." - O ioi t piree tmder Thelalecping janitor‘s bed, and, after passing their Upon which he, being very tired, grumâ€" bled, rolled over and slept more soundly thar before. This was repeated, and he sat up, rubbed his eyes, looked around and laid down again. Once more the hand touched him, and he P'rlbbed it, and, feeling the warmth of it before it was wrenched away, he called out to the suf%)sed students: *You rascals, get out of here or I‘ll break every bone in your bodies!‘ Again the . hand touched him, when he grasped it firmâ€" ly and pulled, aud, to his surprise and horror the whole arm came. _ Well, when the authorities found him in the morning he was a chattering maniac, and it was not until five or six years after, when the poor man bad regained his mtellmoe. that a former student confessed how he and three others had "It has been my good fortune," spoke up another, ‘"to have escaped all such soulâ€"barrowing experiences, but 1 reâ€" member distinctly an occurrence during m{ student Jife. It was at an Eastern college, which had enfaged a new janiâ€" tor, who was an unpleasant, surly felâ€" low, and consequently much disliked by the students. The janitor occupied a little apartment close to the dissecting :m:. and one night, after he had reâ€" 1 . & inmver toward the cadaver upon which I been working I realized at once that I had been knocked out by a dead man. The arm which had hitherto been fastened was hanging at the side of the body, and the whole explanation was that the string slipped, allowing the limb to gravitate toward my interposâ€" ing cranium. As much as the prize was coveted, I never worked after the stuâ€" dents had gone." 7 m get. It happened in a college, where 1 was a student. A prize had been ofâ€" fered by the late Dr. W. W. Dawson for the best dissection, and I was exâ€" erting all my energies to win it. One evening, or rather morning, long after all the students had laid away their instruments and gone home, I was workâ€" ing out the nerves and vessels under the arm of my subject, and had it fastâ€" ened by a piece of cord to a nail above. All was quiet, and I was interested in my work, when suddeniy and without wnru'u:‘f a blow on the head disturbed me and stunned me momentarily. So frightened was I that 1 could not get gg from the floor, where I had fallen. course, I feared no spiritual visitaâ€" tion, but as nothing was visible my unâ€" easiness was something terrible. bl_ax_:q-‘ Had placed th> body above his head, covered it with the cloak and Yerpe- trated the ‘practical joke.‘ Suffice it to say, 1 did not entirely recover from the nervous shock for a Jong time, nor was the miscreant ever forgiven." "That reminds me," said a young physician, "of a scare £ shall never forâ€" and my thoughts reverted to | the frightful possibility of the ghastly thing attacking me with one of them. _ He advansed from the shadows, and I gave one shriek and sprang to the door. It was locked! I then endeavored to leap through the window. It was also fasâ€" tened. On came the grim specter, and, being driven to desperation, I grappled with it, when my lamp was upset and we were in darkness. I heard a barsh laugh and fainted. When consciousness returned the janitor was by my side and explained that one of the students, breathe, and my hair stood on end.

There, towering likea giant before me, his arms folded, and a military cloak thrown over his shoulâ€" ders, stood the dead soldier. My heart seemed to stand still. I could not breathe, and my hair stood on end. L "‘Shortly after receiving my diploma," remarked an elderly doctor, "I accepted the position of Assistant Demonstrator of Anaitomy at the University ofâ€"â€"â€", in Prussia. Just about this time it seemed to be the fad for soldiers to terâ€" minate their earthly woes by filling the barrels of their guns with water and discharging the same through the roof of thrir mouths, thereby blowing off the t > of their heads. One stormy afternoon one of these suicides was brought to the Anatomical Department of the University, and he was, indeed, a splendid specimen of manhood. . As this metbod of shattering the cranium offers an excellent opportunity for seâ€" curing the labyrinth of the internal ear, I cut the body in two and had the upper half removed to my private office, which adjoined the dissecting room. ‘"That evening, as was my usual cusâ€" tom, I remainâ€"d with the students in the dissecting room until after midâ€" n‘ght, when the last one departed. As a thunderstorm was raging without I decided to stay until morning, so at once repaired to my private office to finish some anatomical investigations.
