Touching Iici(lents of the Last Days of Some Arctic, Explorers. A peculiar and pathetic interest attaches to the last records of lost explorers, dying alone and unaided amid icy wildernesses or in the steaming depths of tropical jungles. Tho diary kept by the gallant Captain Scott teems with tragic touches, but it also has its beauti- ful and its heroic side. No more splendid instance of magnificent self-sacrifice has been reeau'tled than the action of the disabled Cap- tain Oates in seeking voluntary death in the blizzard, so as not to bo a burden on his surviving com- panions, says London Answers. The world is the richer in the pos- session of facts such as these, which is why the last diaries of men dying in similar circumstances have al- ways been ardently sought and carefully treasured. It was, for example, in order to try and recover the papers belong- ing to the lost Arctic explorer, Mylius Erichsen, that Captain Mik- kelsen recently spent two awful .years amongst the icy solitudes of North-East Greenland, He failed in his quest, and he and his solitary companion came near to losing their own lives. In Far Siberia. These journals of poor Erichsen, if they are ever found, will doubt - leas tell a similarly stirring story to that left behind by Scott. Until then there is only one record that closely parallels it, and that is the diary left by the American De Long, who, with other survivors from the Arctic exploring ship Jeanette, perished amid the frozen wastes of North-Eastern Siberia during the winter of 1881. De Long's diary, which was re- covered, and has been published, might almost be a duplicate, in parts, of that kept by poor Scott. Only in De Long's case the tra- gedy was even more appalling than in. Scott's, for his party consisted of no fewer than thirteen men., and these all died from starvation and exposure. The last entry reads as follows "140th day.—Boyd and Gertz died during the night; Mr. Collins dying." The gallant De Long was then left with but one companion, Dr. Ambler, the medical officer to the expedition, for the deaths of the other men had been previously recorded, and doubtless the two last of the survivors died that day A.

At all events, the jour- nal ended abruptly at this point. Abandoned. By far the moat dreadful tragedy of Aretio exploration was the loss of the Franklin expedition, when the whole of the officers and men of the two exploring ships, Erebus and Terror, 139 in all, perished. Curi- ously enough, though many relies of - the ill-fated commander, Sir John Franklin, were recovered by search parties, and are now preserved in the museum attached to the Green- wich Ho,xpital, none of his diaries or personal papers were ever found. One single written record of the lost expedition remains to us. It is in the form of a. sheet torn from a small pocket diary, and these are the words it contains: "April 25th, 7848.—Terror and Erebus were abandoned. Sir John Franklin died on June 11th, 1847, and the total loss by deaths up to this date, 9 officers and 15 men." This precious scrap of paper was discovered in a cairn ou King Wil- liam's Island in the year 1858. There was no signature, but the handwriting was afterwards identi- fied as that of Captain Fitzjames, one of Sir John's officers. ' For His Country. In the tragic history of explora- tion no briefer record than this ex- ists of a disaster so appalling in its magnitude; although Burke and Wills, who first crossed Australia,. left behind them only a few tattered leaves from an old pocket -book to tell the story of how they and their companions had lain down in the desert to die, Of all the many valuable and in- teresting documents left behind by lost explorers, however, none can vie in importanee with the last journals of David Livingstone, who died, worn out by hunger and pri- vation, at Ilala, in Central Africa, on May let, 1873. These were brought down to the coast, together with his body, by his faithful black "boys," and were published in De- cember, 1874. They told of vast and far-reaching discoveries and explorations, un-• dertaken under almost inconceiva- ble conditions of hardship and pri- vation. In fact, Livingstone liter- ally laid down his life for his coun- try, since to his pioneer enterprise is largely due the fact that so great a. part of Africa, is to -day colored red upon the map. "SACRED LAKE OF LIFE." Its Knowledge Jealously Guarded From Europeans. The lives of 100,000 persons, ac- cording to popular belief, depend upon the "Snored Lake of Life," in southern Nigeria. The first white men to look upon it are J. Amory Talbot, a District Commissioner, and Mr, Eakins, news onwhose dis- covery has just been received, It was through an earlier visit to the "Lake of the Dead" that the existence of the "Lake of Life" was revealed, and one afternoon Mr. Talbot and Mr, Eakin, accompanied by Mrs. Talbot and her sister, set out to endeavor to locate it. Hith- erto the knowledge of the lake had been kept a jealously guarded se- cret from all Europeans, and not even the natives, with the excep- tion of the high priests, had been allowed to approach the sacred wa- ter—the dwelling place of the great- est deity 61 the Ibibios, whose chief town is Ikot Obo. Access to the lake was through a sacred grove so eunningly contrived that a stranger night pass within a few yards, yet never find the holy pool. Mr. Talbot and his party found that the water was full of great fish, on the welfare of which; according to legend, depends the life of the Ibibio race, The fish were so tame that they fed from the hand of the reigning high priest, the only native human allowed to lock upon the water. It is specially sacred as the dwell- ing place of the most powerful deity -he Great Mother—Isu-pia (the. Face of Love), whose symbol is a holy reek feeing the entrance, Near by the travellers found a second i i• won n the centre of which s a pool, palm tree, near which in the water 1 are stationed a man., a girl and a I boy, who bear the name of the god- dens, as they were granted to the parents in direct Answer to prayer.

Sir William Meredith, who for the past two years has been investigating the Workmen's Compensation with a view to recommending legislation, has proved himself a diplomat of the first degree by the report which ho has just presented to the Legislature. One of the chief causes of contention in connection with the Act will be as to what classes of citizens should be exempt, Sir William received much evidence on this point. For example, there is 11.0 doubt that there will be great opposition in farmiug communities to any enactment which will make employers liable for injuries .sustained by their help. In the same way Store -keepers etre PloYing t e- ploytng perhaps only one clerk, In many- onses where the chances of injury are of the slightest degree, 'Will object vigorously nt any taxation which might be imposed for' tho purpcsc of Workmen's -Compensa- tion. Sir William has neatly otdo-stopped thla entire controversy. He has done 1,10 by leaving the whole question of what chases are to be exempt to the discretion of the Legislature- His Act as framed applies universally. and if it,'wentinto force as 1t Is, would apply to every employer of labor in the Province. As it is generally recognized that there must be some ex. emotion, the whole question of whet these exemptions shall bo must bo thrnehed out by the members in the house. No rlonbt a great number of exemptions will be asked for and the Act will bo lucky if it escapee emasculation. As tar no the controversy between the Labor Unions and the Manufacturers le concerned, Sir William seems to have been able to' bring about a certain amount of agreement. On the face•of it it looks as though Ilia findings lean toward the Bide of the working men. Cordoning Days.

Toronto's "mystery block" still remains a mystery. Rumors have rooently been revived that the Canadian Northern Rail- way is the owner, hut these have been denied. Of the names mentioned in con- nection with the property only from the T.

Yonge, Church and Alexander. Xo this would mean a tremendous dislocation of business on Yong° St., there is the keoneet interest in what will happen.

Nothing mora spectacular than the mystery biopic bas been heard' of In real estate records in this oouutry. The en- tire block, convicting of hundreds of small parcels of property, was bought up by agents of a real ostate firm within a few weeps. That was two years ago, and who the real estate firm acted for is as much it mystery as It was then. The deal, of course, involved millions, Meanwhile, Baton's continue to make impro@emente to their present premiees. Friedmann Was Pleased.

Dr. Robert Bell and Cancer. _ Dr, Robert Bell, in a paper in the London Medical Times on the therapeutics of canoe:r, contends that if cancer is, in the early stage, treated by the method he advo- cates, it is as curable a disease as any other, and that even in more advanced cases it is more amenable' to therapeutics than to surgical measures. Of oourse, ono meets with disappointments at times, but these will occur with decreasing frequency as our knowledge in- creases. What is wanted, he says, is anopen mind and a more accur- ate conception of the conditions of life which, being so openly out of harmony with physiological and dietetic laws, not only open the portals to disease, but actually in- vites its entrance.

The English policeman, as we all know, is usually, Scotch, Otherwise he's Irish, ,And he's paid to be guide, philosopher, and friend to the British public. He earns his pay, too. To the _Englishman the French' policeman is always a gendarme. As a matter of feet, be is usually a scrgont-de-villa—mown policeman — or a garde ohampetre—rural guard.

But ORO Word of Advice. Never bo tempted to talk to any French policeman, no matter what the color of his trousers, on the subject of cows. Tho French for cow is la wache, and the mention of 'the animal is apt to have the same effect on him as a red rag on a bull. If you doubt this statement, take a week -end trip to Paris and try it on the fust policeman you meet. But don't blame me if the experiment works too well. But to see the policeman in his glory you must go to Berlin. There he rules, the pattern of unbendnig officialism. A veritable man of bleed and iron. Transgress but the minutest of the myriad rules the German lives undeli uncomplaining, and your fate is sure. The reward due to yopr contumely will be meted out to you. The New York policeman has been much maligned. That the ma- gic word "graX," so potent a spell throughout A-ineriea, is quite un- known to his ears, I shouldn't Cara to affirm. All the same, I fear, pre- cious Ale of the imposing millions any New Yorker will tell you about goes to line the pockets of Casey at the street corner.
