ARCTIC BIRDS,
No writer can viait the Paciflo Arctic
without being struck by the amaziug
•V number of sea birds he meets wi^b.
Gulla, ducks and gees? are fomfd in al-
most-incredible numbers, not to mention
the land birds, such as ptarmigan,
plover, snipe and so on ; but the one
that eclipses them all in number is the
Jink, whose pygopodous family is go
noted for its distribution in the Polar
seas. Puffins, dovekies, guilleinot and
the little auks, darkening the air in their
myriad flight, scream to each other in
ceaseless uproar on the rocky cliffs of
Lawrsjnce and the Diomede islands,
v - to which places they resort and TayeggS
wp hure ledges and the rifts of rocks. A
moch frequented by these .birds
.is at the former island on some detached
rocks a considerable distance St sea,
■j •diHpe being so singular that when
sffiitiaohed from a long distance they
, • may lie mistaken for a ship under full
H<u t v; stall iceberg. Closer iaapection,
hoover, reveals a rocky tower, the
counterpart oL an immeuae Vendome
column. The leaser auk, the m<wt com
mon object that one meets in this north
country, furnishes a constant source of
divemoo from its awkward mommenm.

RHATIXO TUB TACK.
Thirty year* ago a few persona of for*
ftign birth appeared in the streets with
hair on the upper bp, and were objects
of curiosity and sometimes <4 public
ridicule. In 1860 some of the young
swells of the metropolis began to wear
mustaches, but for some time no chirk
would venture to imitate them. In <me
case a merchant on Pine street who had
just engaged a clerk for twelve months,
or during good behavior, discharged him
for wearing a full beard, claiming that
the adojition of the fashion laid the
clerk open to dismissal under the good-
behavior clause to the contract. About
The following evening, while at tea, the sure time • number of leading mer
chants gsve notice that tliey would em
ploy nobody who wore hair on the up
per lip. As late as 1641 the senior pro
prietor of this paper msde his cashier
shave off an incipient mustache, and
soon after brought bis own son under
the razor. In the church of Dr. Be
th une, co Brooklyn Heights, an elder
aho waa anfft-nng from a lame wrist al-

Ths great gunmakar*, M<-«ar* Krapp,
ri Oermany, have sue we Jed in perfect
ing a pmocas which will lead to a ma
larial rednetion in the expenditure on
ordnance for the German navy and
army. All the heavier Krapp guns
consist of a steel body stseagtheiWHl by
hoops, the thirty and one-halt centi
metre guns having three tiers of hoops,
the twenty-six centimetre and twenty-
four centimetre two, and the remainder
one tier. The interior of the body, or
the bore of the gun, being the part sub
jected to the greatest wear and tear,
becomes rapidly worn out, and hitherto
it has been found necessary, after at the
very most 1,000 rounds have been fired,
to melt up the whole gun on account of
the damaged condition of the bore, al
though the outer parts of the piece were
practically aa good and sound as ever.
Since the construction of these outer
hoops is very costly, the idea occurred
to one of the members of the firm that
it might be possible to localize the melt
ing operation ; and this has now been
found possible to accomplish by treat
ing the body of the piece with a cold-
producing preparation of carbonic acid,
which contracts it to suen an extent that

ChancuUery has lost its prestige (and
most of its odium) since the abolition uf
tbe Third Section—tha Russian Inquisi
tion. But its dreadful power may be
resurrected at any time, though per
haps in a new shape. The Chief of the
State Police naturally becomes the mas
ter of the Czar, and, therefore, he
stands above the laws of the country.
The Minister of the Interior is at pres
ent the Chief of the State Police, and
therefore the minor Osar—that is, the
real ruler of the country. The Commit
tee of Ministers has absorbed the pow
ers both of the Council and the Senate.
As the Minis ter* are irresponsible, each
of them is a real autocrat In his own
branch of the Government. And, as
there is no well-defined limits. between
the different branches, there is no end
of collisions and wars in the administra
tion, and there is no adequate authority
to settle rival ministerial pretensions.
The Czar, Council, Senate and Mints-
