Want of Knowi.ki.hsi; ahout thu JCoutji Pole. At present there lies within a few weeks of us, and right Iwtu'ppn ns and inhabited continents, u circle 1,100 miles across, orwiueii we know not even whether it be land or water, or in what respects it is affected by gome conditions wholly different from our own. Is it anything more than a great refrigerator for the produc tion of cold that is, for the absorption of heat? If water preponderates there, then the cold need not be so extreme as wo imagine; and just as the equator Is not everywhere hotter than the trop ics, Just as the Eastern hemisphere Is warmer by ten degrees of north lat itude than the Western and the North ern hemisphere, very much warmer than the .Southern, so even the Arctic circle may have the benefit of ir ( genial Infltmnce. It lias at least half a year of continuous day. What if it be found suiliciently habitable for tho es tablishment of stations in which the production of economy of heat will be (ho only "crious dllllculty? Science is sanguine, but it confesses itself to be hoping against hopo as to the matter of Its expectations. An animal or two, needs that can stand any cold, some of tho lowest forms of vegetable life, and i perhaps organisms in the sea, tlie pos sible revelations of an atmosphore com nlotelv clear of anueous disturbance. tiguro prominently in the catalogue of xiope. ji, us is suspeuii'u, mure ou in gredients iii tho eartli'sntmosphere too subtle lor chemical analysis, the spec troscope may detect them in a region where humidity no longer embarrasses tho question. Then what is the aurora? le it of e.irth or of heaven'.' Is It meteoric? Is it cosmic? Does it reveal a universal medium? Is it a magnetic phenomenon? At about the soventioth degree of latitude the expedition will reach the other side of tho magnetic pole, and will have to steer by rules tlie contrary of our own, and becoming more and more complex till the necdlo points finally to tho centre of the earth. At the pole not only the compass, but oven the sun, moon, and stars will cease to bo available for the usual pur poses of observation; that is, if any thing vhould happen to the chronome ters, for all will then depend on tho preservation of Greenwich time. The jorlom hopo told off for tho pole wili liuvo to mark Its track very carefully if it would bo sure of retracing its coureu bad: again. London 2'imen. Co-Ri:i,aton of JJiijh and Flow ers. The bees, Mr. Darwin says, have jsolved u difficult problem. They have nit.do their cells of a proper shape to 1iold the greatest possible amount of honey with the least possible consump tion of precious wax in their construc tion. No human workman is skillful enough to do what a crowd of bees can do, w 01 king in a dark hive make cells of wax, of the true lonn. Tho number ol bumble bees in the country will depend upon the number of cnK How can that be? JJecauso the number of bees is dependent upon tho number of Held mice, which eat tho bees. Hence the more cats, the fewer mice, the moiu bees. If the whole genus of bumble bees become extinct, or very rare, the heart's eitio and red i lover would becomo rare 01 would disappear. How is that? He causo bees piomoto tho growth of those floweis. Tlie visits of bees are neces sary to tho fci miration of somo kinds of clover, and nlnioht indispensable to the lertiliutioii of the heart's ease. Jn a woid no bees, no seed; no seed, no Incieasu of tlio flowers. The more visits ft om Hie bees, the more seed from tho (lower, the moie (lower from tho 6ords.

It is tho oil in tho salad. A Span ish proverb has it that a kiss without a mustache is like an egg without salt; and tho Frenchman avers that a wo man without a certain degree of co quotry Is llko a saltless soup. The wo man of rigid principles mm lulnmautine virtue is everywhere held up for popu lar admiration, ami man say they ad mire iicr; and they do in it lukewarm fashion, but this is equivalent to the faint pnil-o which damns. They give iiu Intellectual iucut to her claims for superiority, and secretly vote her tame. But for her whose character is flavored with a trifle of coquetry they stand ready to commit" those acts of folly whicli aro known to be ho pleasing to the gentle sex. Frenchmen affirm that coquetry is a virtue, and the mother of cleanliness, grace, adornment, and tho desire to please. When 'it is found in bad company, such us frivolity, dissipa tion, extravagance, and the like, it may bo presumed that there is. too much salt in the soup. Albert Rhodes, in "The French at Jlome." PHILADELPHIA AS AMANIM'.UTL'H- inxj Citv. Tho late census returns seem to establish the fact that Philadel phia lias distanced Now York in niaiiu- lacturmg enterprise, and tins city must rest content with her immense com mercial and financial supremacy, leav ing to Philadelphia the palm of indus trial preeminence. Philadelphia is now practically the largest manufacturing city in tho world, boing only excelled by London, which lias a population of flvo millions. For tills manufacturing prosperity Philadelphia is largely in debted to the spirit and enterprise which rendered that city the paradise of labor, so to speak. In no other city in the United States are tlie workinir men bettor cared for, and In none can they own their own homestead with as much ease and certainty. And so labor has been attracted to it from all parts of the world and the prosperity of the city rests on tlie most solid of all foundations', in this view it is most natural and proper that it should bo the sceno of tho approaching centennial celebration. U. S. Economist. The Atlanta Constitution says that several grangos in South Carolina are combining to build a cotton mill on the Saluda river. Upon this suggestion it proceeds to urge the establishment of first, cotton yarn factories at every cross road In the state, for the working up of its cotton productions, which can bo much more economically shipped as yarn than as raw cotton; and, second, of regular cotton factories, as tho yarn mills shall prosper aed accumulate capital as well as attract both it and la bor, and thus stimulate tho production of cotton and all other itrjrricultiinil nm- ducts, by thus making a home market for them. These mills, it says, will cost but ten thousand dollars, and that amount ot money can bo raised in any cotton growing neighborhood. As these experiments prove successful and the opportunity offers, tlie entire water power of tho state is to be used for tho propelling of cotton mills to take tho place of these yarn mills, until Geor gia shall becomo tho Now England of tho South. There is much good sense in the suggestion, and it is to bo hoped the experiment will bo tried iu this Mato.
