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 -1 land will have moro Cause than ever : to rejoice that the allnost imp! ■■ hi, | Himalayas bar liov Ori- ntal province- I from tim growing Asiatic dominion of i Russia. — I.-hk 7t-c'.,-/,,i-.

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.
