Tim Swedish Arctic Esfrtotion.— The 

 northeast passage expedition in the Vega, 

 under Prof. Nbrdeaakjoid, reached the 

 mouth of the Lena in ' the latter part of 

 August, and we may every day expect news 

 of its safe arrival at Yokohama. Meantime, 

 Mr. Oscar Dickson of Gottenburg, the gener- 

 ous supporter of the expedition, "has publish- 

 ed a letter from Prof. Nordenskjold' giving 

 some of the results obtained in the Novaya 

 Zernlya region. While deUined at Yugor 

 Stmt, to the south of Novaya Zemlya, a visit 

 was paid to the Samoeide village of Cha- 

 barova. Dr. Stuxberg collected many speci- 

 mens of the fauna of the Strait, including 

 some remarkably large cilicious sponges. 

 Many specimens of various kinds of fish were 

 bought from the natives. Dr. Kjcllman col- 

 lected numerous specimens of the liora of the 

 region, and directed his attention specially to 

 the morphology and development of the 

 phanerogamous plants of the arctic regions, a 

 subject hitherto little studied. Lieut Nord- 

 qvist d2VOted attention to insects, while Dr. 

 Almqvi9t examined the Samoeides with re- 

 gard to their sense of color, and found it 

 normally developed in them. Prof. Norden- 

 skjold bought some costumes, utensils, etc., 

 from the Samoeides, and, after some difficulty-, 

 succeeded m obtaining specimems of their 

 "gods." They at first evaded his inquiries, 

 but at last an old Samoide women consented 

 to show him some. She drew them from a 

 bag, where they were packed with much care 

 in reindeer skins. Prof. Nordenskjold at 

 last succeeded in persuading the old woman 

 to sell him several idols at the price of seven 

 roubles. Each of them had a different pur- 

 pose and aspect. One, for example, was 

 composed of a stone, which fine rags trans- 

 formed into a kind of a doll ; another was a 

 marionette, with a plate of copper for a face ; 

 a third was in fur, adorned with earrings and 

 pearls. In general, those objects of venera- 

 tion and adoration of the Samoeides resemble 

 the rude rag dolls of children who are unable 

 to obtain anything better. Ohabarova is in- 

 habited in summer by nine Russians, who in 

 spring come from Poustosersk, where are their 

 wives and children. They depart in autumn. 

 Luring their sojourn these Russians carry on 

 a barter traffic with the Samoeides anil engage 

 in fishing and in rearing reindeer. The Rus- 

 sians inhabit little wooden cabins, low and 

 covered with turf, while the indigenes have 

 tents of reindeer skin, similar in form to 

 those of the Lappg. The Russians have 

 formed a company to fish the white dolphin, 

 two out of the twenty-two shares of the com- 

 pany being reserved for St. Kicholas, to se- 

 cure his blessing. In spite of this, their en- 

 terprise has not been very successful. Dr. 

 Nordenskjold, guided by one of the Russians, 

 visited one of the sacrificial altars of the 

 Samoeides, who, although baptised Chris- 

 tians, retain many of their old heathen cus- 

 toms. 



— A very fat man sent an order to the office 

 for two seats in the coach for himself. The 

 clerk engaged him one seat outside and the 

 other inside.
