Practically, nil the mineral cryolite used in the industries of Amer ica and Europe comes from Greenland, and, according to the estimates of Gen. Greely, the whale, seal, walrus and other products of the Arctic regions have, in a little over two centuries, contributed about $1.000,0Q0,000 tq the wealth of the world.

When Sir Humphrey Davy wns a boy about sixteen, a little girl came to him In great excitement. "Humphrey, do tell me why these two pieces of cane mako a tiny spark of light when I rub them together.” Humphrey was a studious boj r , who spent hours In thinking out scientific problems. He patted the child’s curly head, BDd said: “I do not know, dear. Let us see if they really do make a light, and then wo will try to find out why.” Humphrey soon found that the little girl was right; the pieces of cane, if rubbed together quickly, did give a tiny light. Then he set to work to find out the reason, and after some time, thanks to the observing powers of his little friend, and his own kindness to her in not Impatiently telling her not to ‘worry,” as so many might have done, Humphrey Davy made the first of his interesting discoveries.

British Crowner’s law has asserted Its rights by holding a formal Inquest over a mummy that was being trans ported over the North Western Rail road to be shipped to Belgium. Tho technical evidence and the verdii t rendered were as follows: "Dr. Oliver, divisional surgeon, stated that it was not possible to say the probable period of death beyond that it must have occurred many years ago. From his examination of the body and from in quiries he had made, he had formed the opinion that the mummy was that of a body from Pern or some other part of South America. The system of burial among certain tribes there consists of placing the body after death in a squatting position, and of fixing it in that position to a str.ke or tree and allowing it to be expoued to the sun for a certain time. By these means the body becomes dried or mummified, after which it is conveyed to a sand or other cave and there de posited. The jury returned the fol lowing verdict: ‘That the woman was found dead at the railway goods sta tion, Sun street, on April 15, and did die on some date unknown in some foreign country, probably South Amer ica, from some cause unknown. No proofs of a violent death are found, and the body has been dried and ‘buried in Some foreign manner, prob ably sun dried and cave buried, and the*jurors are satisfied that this body does not show any recent crime in this country, and that the deceased was unknown and about 25 years of age.’ ” —New York Sun.
