Russell, who has<lb />presented it before the Royal Society of<lb />New South Wales. His idea, in brief,<lb /><lb />is that there has been an extraordinary<lb />outburst of the great volcanoes known<lb />to exist within the Antarctic circle, and<lb />that the consequent shaking of the ice-<lb />clothed shores of the Antarctic conti- |,<lb />nen has resulted in the breaking off of<lb />immense fragments of ice, which have<lb />afterward been driven northward by:<lb />winds and currents."YouthTs Com-<lb />panion.<lb /><lb />Humor in the Family.<lb /><lb />oOne of those lazy, good-for-nothing<lb />tramps called to-day and wanted a<lb />~| piece of pie,� said the landlady, during<lb />a momentary silence.<lb /><lb />The bachelor boarder faltered and<lb />laid down his knife and fork.<lb /><lb />oAnd did he get it?� he queried, anx-<lb />iously.<lb /><lb />oNot much,� returned the landlady;<lb />ohe got a piece of my mind instead.�<lb /><lb />oWhich probably destroyed his,�<lb />piped the thin boardér in the tenor<lb />~voice from the foot of the table.<lb /><lb />: oHis what?� demanded the landlady,<lb />sternly.<lb /><lb />oPeace of mind,� explained the thin<lb />boarder, apologetically,<lb /><lb />Everybody cried out in applause at<lb />this.T One could even hear the pea<lb /><lb />| soup and see the jelly roll.
