MI BUILDING,V PITTSBURG, H. North Dakota Letter. Can uo, N. D. Dear Editor. I desire to thank you and Mrs. Rebecca Lake, of New Rockford N. D., for the information con cerning the distribution of the different Fulton county familos in this State. This is winter here not so cold. As to thermometer records the coldest we have had was Christmas morning, when mer cury slid down the thermometer and looked through the glass at 42 degrees below zero. This last week has been very windy. The wind was strong enough last Wednesday to blow down the North Pole, and nearly as cold as the shady side of Peary's Artie expedition. Fuel here is high this season. About the same grade of coal as Harry Henry speaks about cost ing $2.00 a tou at Six Mile Run, only costs $8.00 here. We enjoy some of the natural phenomena here in the shape of conspicuous sun-dogs, two or three of which follow old Sol all day long. Then the northern lights are simply grand beyond description. In the stillness of the long even ing they flash up in the sky from the northern horizon jn brilliant colors, like the reflection of tower ing flames from some burning lake below. One's sensation when witnessing for the first time the tongues of firey colored light as they dart threateningly to ward the zenith with a trembling motion, is, that the whole terres- tial ball is about to be swallowed up; and at the same time one is likely to be impressed with the insignificance of his own strength and the mighty power of Him who holds the worlds iu the hol low cf his hands. In addition to the sun-dogs, Nature treats us to another of her phenomena that I know you would enjoy, and that is the mi rage. The boys and girls must refer to ti e dictionary to learn the proper pronunciation of "mi-1 rage, and turn to the physical I geography and see what it tells 1 about sun-dogs and mirages. Sometimes the sky here, as we j look away across the prairie, is like a looking glass, for you will find that the word mirage has the same etymological origin as mir ror, and that houses, buildings and other objects miles away are seen rellected in the sky iu an in verted position and greatly en larged. A settler's "shack" nine or ten miles distant which is per haps seven feet in height looks in tho mirage like a big three-story j structure. Mother earth in this corner of the globe is now robed in seven or eight inches of snow, so tine that it sifts in at the keyholes, and in windy days moves over the prairie in a regular gale. Land is rapidly advancing and much of it is changing hands. Buyers are from the East, and sellers are striking west or mov ing over to Canada. Remember me to all my friends. Perhaps sometime in the future will give a little sketch of a trip into Cana da last October. Yours truly, D. W-Fuakku. I.aldlK. The death of J. G. Lyon re moved another of our oldest citi zens.
