"It's a terrible thing to lie cold," said Chitd Engineer Molville, of tho United States navy, at tho tooms of thc United Service club, "but it is mot o terrible to pulfer the Jiangs of hunger, to crawl on hands and knees on the icc. as 1 have done, that my comrades might he saved. It was not for myself, but for my coun try and my fellow-man." Engineer Melville, who looked tho picture ot rosy health, was surrounded by distinguished officers and cx-ollicers Ol the army and navy os he read his in (cresting paper on Arctic exploration. Among them were (Jen. JoshuaT, Owen, Capt. Riobard C. Collum, Tay Director Iiussoll, and Col. Nicholson. In his opening remarks Mr. Melville said: "When I returned from Siberia I promised myself anti thc w hole world thal I would never lecture on the trials and Bufferings of Arctic explorations that I would never coin money out of tho blood and bones of my dead com panion.-.'" Continuing ho said: "For moro than ?lot) years some of tho best blood ami brains of thc world have been devoted to solving the problem of the far north, ll vas for a grand and nohle purpose -the benefit of man, that wc may have knowledge, which is wealth, power and happiness.'1 Mr. Mel vi Ih; spoke ot tin: peculiar ab sence of scurvy in thc biter American expeditions, particularly those of the. Polaris. Jeannett", anil Creely party, whde Sir George Narcs' exploring party were terribly aili ie ted, lb: thought it w as a matter of food, clothing and Well ventilated quarters. He had fre quently been asked how he hoped to es cape tho fate of those w ho had gone he fore him if he attempted to reach tho pol". His answer w as that the hitter school of experience lcd him to bel love that the pole could be reached safely, and that the proper route was hy Fran/, Joseph Land, the southern end of which was accessible every year Mr. Melville then described tho Arctic outfits necessary for explorers, and thc mistakes made in making them too heavy. Ile said: "1 have slept comfort ably on top of a sled in a sleeping-bag, with the thermometer 100 degrees below ile- freezing point of water." Ih" Arctic sleeping-bugs, lie explain ed, wt re worn with the hair inside, thus reversing nature, lt wna thu only fur clothing worn that way. Ile thought t h.e very idea of unlimited appropriations by congress caused an Arctic expedition to lu- loaded down with the worthless rubbuge of every crank In the land. His sleeping-bag weighed eleven pounds. The (??eely expedition bags weighed twenty-two pounds - "elegant things to .sloop in, hm death lo those who attempt ed lo carry them." In conclusion tho chief engineer said that with his know ledge, horn ot exp erience, he expected at some future day to conduct a party in safety to the Arctic regions, and to lind a grand, public-spirited citizen of vast means who would aid him in solving iiie problem cf a commercial pole. Tho road was one of trial and tribulation, ? but tho object was attainable, and the scient die world would not bo satisfied until it was roached. -Philr a gooil meal.

Among ttlO bills introduced in tho -cuate last week and appropriately re ferred was OHO by Senator Edmund;?, ?'providing fol' the inspection of meats or exportation, prohibiting the im portation of adulterated articles of moil and drink, and authorizing Ibo President to make proclamation in certain cuses." ?Senator Edmunds said that Ibis bill bad been reported last year from tho committee on foreign relations. Be? -ides providing for ttio inspection of pork, &c, tor exportation, it contain ed, he said, a section iriving the Presi dent authority, whenever he was con vinced that unju>t discrimination wan made against the admission of Ameri can products into other countries, to prohibit the introduction ot such articles ns he thought tit for thc pro tection of i bc just interests of thc Untied States.
