Tho Northeast Passage.
A navigable Polar route between
Europe ami the liouvt of Asia is tlm i
latest ami grentent nebiovemont of I
geographical exploration. This work,
far BUrpassing-iii interest and practie-:
al value anything that Stanley Inn; ac
complished, the world owes to an in
trepid Swedish explorer, Prof. Yord
ensliiold. Prof. Yordenskield had a
theory that tho Gulf si ream, idler;
striking the <•• • t of Enio; ] im.icd
around to tho north of Scandinavia,
and opened a way ' 'Uh l s warm cur
rents through t he Polar Sea, north of i
Russia and Asia. Tho Professor sail
ed from Sweden in August, ami Inn,
already, if hi;s report docs not exag
gerate his success, proved hi; theory
true, and made a geographical dis
covery that will change the comae of;
trade between Europe and Asia and
powerfully affect the destinies of mil
lions of human beings for all time to
conic. He found a clear passage
through the Polar Sea, reached the
mouth of the Yenisei, and through it
penetrated into the h art of Asa, al
most to the very frontiers of China.
The country bordering the YY’.i.-i i is
vast, fertile, and uncultivated. The
waters about its mouth aro warm.
By this route vessels of light draught
can bo taken within .150 miles of the
head waters of the great Amoor river,
and the commercial distance between
Europe ami China is shortened thou-
I sands of miles. This discovery has
the greatest interest to Arctic explor
ers. A northeast passage wo know
now there is, but as that is o) ei ily
j the Gulf stream, wiikh does not flow
to tho North of the Ameiican Conti
nent, there can be no sviout-itk; ground
for believing that there is a north
west pm: ego. The coinnioreia! re
sults of t,he now route are obvious.
Excepting Indian trade, which must
go through tile Mediterranean and
the Siu r. Canal, commercial inter
course I- twoeu Europe and Asia will
soon begin to ns • the new northeast
; passage. The shortness of tho route
I will add correspondingly to tho eom
i forts of mankind. lv-w communities,
i new cities, perhaps, v-ii! bo founded
j ou the banks of tho Yenisei, and l ing

Why wuLhi; nu Knurr H.vno. The
habit of using the light bund in
preference to tho left, among those
neoplc whose monuments date from
tlm remotest antiquity, appears to be
a universal fact, and this is accounted
lor by the anatomical mechanism of
tlie human body. It is known that
the right lung, liver, lobe and limbs
exceed ill size those of the left side,
involving, of course, a greater amount
of tissue structure and a large supply
of nerves and blood vessels for their
nutrition. A person walking in a
deuce fog figures with his feet tlu
segment of a circle, and if he is right
handed, ho takes a direction to the
left, because the right leg naturally
takes a longer stride. The left side
of the brain is larger than the right,
and as it appears thu* the power
of verbal articulation in the right
handed is confined to a certain eonvu
sation on the left side, tho conclusion
arrived at that in npi r.king an i
thinking, the left side of the brain is
used, this being the result of dextral
education. Too opinion has also
been expressed by somo medical
writers that ainpe.sia and aphasia i:i
right-handed men indicate disease ei
tho left brain, and that hummer palsy
and writers’ cramp show the results
of excessive working of tho kl!
brain.
