Whenever tho slcdgo was traveling along, its iced runners dragging over tho line, gritty snows would givo forth a clear musical ring in tho bitter cold air that sounded very much like tho drawing of a resincd bow over a tuning-fork, a well-known experiment in acoustic lectures. Many of my readers who live, or have lived, in countries whero tho thermometer gets down tq zero and twenty degrees below iu tho winter havo heard this sound coming from the iron running sleighs, and es pecially upon a clear quiet night with but a single bell within hearing. Could you imagine that clear, frosty ring as much louder as tho whistlo ot a steam boat is above the whistle ot a man, or certainly multiplied manifold limes, you could rcalizo how the iced Blcdgo runners fairly sing with their polished surface dragging over tho marble-like snows ot inleiHO Arclio cold. ly hold ing tho car near tho snow this mus'c of tho cold can bo hoard a couplo of miles away, and nt this great distance sounds liko the soft murmurings of an -iKi- lian harp or distant minglings of gui tars. Sometimes when breathing this ex tremely cold air my tongue felt as if it was freezing in my mouth, but l could readily lid myself of this uncomfort able feeling by bicathing through tho nostiils for a nunuto or two. .Natur ally you will ask : "Why not breathe through the nostrils at tho time ?" as you havo so often hoard advocated. This bitter cold air passing through tho nostrils keeps up an irritation so that the consequent catarrh makes it desir able to use tlio mouth nearly altogether in breathing. Also tho noso is more liable to freeze when breathing through it. These freezings ot thu noso and cheeks aro very common affairs, occur ring over a dozen times a day in very low temperature-sand especially if there be any wind blowing in tho lace, inc Esquimaux cures these slight frost bites by applying the hand, warm from the reindeer mitten, to the spot. They knew nothing of rubbing frost bites with snow, so extolled in our own cold climates, and I doubt its oHicaov my self in those extremely low Arctic tem peratures, when the snow is liko sand if loose and like granite rock if in mass. Another fallacious idea explod ed by my Esquimaux.at least to a great extent, was tho use of snow to quench thirst, which every Arctic writer has been so unanimous in condemning as hurtful. My Esquimaux used it at all temperatures to alleviate their thirst, first breathing on the piece of snow a few times beforo putting it iti the mouth. I havo often seen Esquimau boys place a steel snow knifo to their tongue" and let it freeze fast, and then swing it backward aud forward until it fell, and try to niako it stick up right in the snow.
