These tows, ranging in extent from one to'five acre* and in bright above water from fifty to three thundred feet. .will be brought into direct competition with the English, French and German lines of steamers jJying between New York and European points during the summer season. On these floating islands of ice will be every imagined convenience for the comfort and pleasure of passengers and the rate* of passage will be reduced to the minimum of profit In this latter particular the projectors of the scheme seem to us to have mode a serious mistake. The inducement to travel by this means will bo sufficient without making any sacrifice of pasoage money. It is estimated that the trip from Liverpool to New York can be made within two days of the best running time of the ocean greyhounds; but this increase of time will make no difference to the passenger*, who will find the extra pleasure of the voyage more

a compensation.

for those who do not care to patronise the berths will bo hewn in the side elevations of the berg. One part of the ice palace will be reserved for skating and sledding, another part for various games and sport*, while near the center, secluded from one another, will bo two basins cut into the ice and filled with salt water for the benefit of those who may wish to take plunge baths. All the cooking for the passengers will be done on beard the tugs, and will be transferred to the ‘•island” in small boats. The tables will bo simple ledges of ice at short intervals. There will be promenades and ••climbs." and one of the favorite undertakings with the adventuresome will be mounting to the unexplored regions of the moans that tower 900 feet above the

mean level of the island.

There will be no danger of any one freezing to duath, as tbc snpjdy of rags, blanket-., etc., will enable each person to control the temperature to suit himself, and it is estimated that the average temperature will be about 59 deg. The ponderosity of the ice man will greatly diminish thc rolling motion incident ui>on ordinary travel, and will correspondingly decrease the liability to seasickness, a very grave conrideration with many who

When they do not. at such times as English eyes are not upon them, the surveyor', stick or whip plays pretty freely about their backs, J believe, and without vigilance they will not work at all. They come from their villages on Monday morning and return on Saturday night. They arc lodged, receive three meal*, and about rightpence a day. The firnt two meals are given in the vineyard, each man having a sardine, a hunch of excellent bread, and a “imll” at tho wine larrel. The third meal, before dismissal in the yard at night, consist* of porridge, served in a trough, from which they scoop it out with their finger*, I laving (Uwarded the sjiooiu originally provided them.—English Illus-

Written music probably first began in China. The ]irineiplcs of ocoustica also were first in existence in the chImI's! empire. The full scale of chromatic semitones was evolved by one of their emperors 4,000 years ago, yet the Chinese, actuated by that strange obliquity which is characteristic of the nation, received only five of the twelve tones into their scale, holding the other seven to be ‘•female tones" and therefore uscleia. The principle of the monochord was probably known to them, and in some of their instrument, one can an: the organ foreshadowed. Of harmony, or part writing, however, the Chinese knew nothing, and it is a good inferential Iiroof of tho non -existence of port music among thc ancient nations that the Chinese, in their ancient inmdc books, sjwak only of melody and seem to have disdained tone combinations, such ns would suggest the simplest chords.—Boston Musical Herald.
