For lifty or sev euty-tlye years this point of lee has been spoken of by the arctic whale mensus "Postoflice point." This does not meni that there is a t)ostollce there, but the siignifleance of the namne is becauso the whaling fleets usually are divided, some ships going considerably east of Postoillce ioint antd others west of It. Ships that have been east of it cruise along the edge of the pak and very fre quently meet ships that have been to the west of it. and the lteeting point for some reason has always been in the neighborhood of isostuillice point. t was here therefore that the ships used to meet, after being separated for many weeks. and exchange news and gossip.

Much of this lee "looks as though it has been there from the year 1," as one of the whaal ing captains hats expressed It.

Squalor and ruin are th' present characteristics of anclent Bagdad, the once beautiful city of "The Arabian Nights." -Of its famous hundred mosques only about thirty are now In use. Several are so dilapidated that their crumbling roofs and walls threat. en the lives of the devout who still worship in them. The one splendid wall, built of the handsome Arabian brick and extend lug around the city a distance of live miles, still star is, but it is broken in many places. The four original gates remain, and the oldest and finest one, bearing the date of 1220, has not been opened since the middle of the seven teenth century. The famous river Tigris, a muddy stream flowing sluggishly during the greater part of the year, divides ag (lad into two parts, which are connect ed by a rickety bridge of boats nearly 200 feet long.
