Life in the Arctic Regions.

DR.. John Rae recently delivered an
interesting lecture on this subject in
Dublin. The lecturer, after having
stated the necessity of those taking part
in the Arctic expeditions being previous
ly accustomed to exposures to cold and
privations, gave vivid account of two
voyages which he made to those regions.
He described how the Esquimaux built
huts of blocks of snow in which they
lived perfectly warm, how the seals are
killed by harpoon being suddenly
plunged by the hunter into the breath
ing holes they make in the ice, and re-
lated several amusing anecdotes showing
the sagacity of foxes Some of these
animals he had known to scrape away
all the snow which covered the traps set
for them, and then approaching at the
back, steal and eat the bait. He had
also known fox to scrape trench by
the side of piece of bait and then get
ting into the hole pull the meat down
and so discharge the gun, to the trigger
of which string one end of which was
attached to the bait was tied. Having
thus avoided the shot and defeated the
intention of the hunter it would ea6 the
oait. He did not agree with Mr.. Ro-
names in that gentleman's opinion about
animal intelligence but he believed
that some of these foxes showed that
they possessed something more than
mere instinct. Having ceferred to the
sutferings of Sir John Franklin's party,
he mentioned some Of the privations to
which he (Dr. Rae) and his men were
subject. They had to sleep in the snow
houses together in their clothes, and
were unable to wash, being only able to
rub themselves with snow. At times
they depended upon their hunting fol
food, and they were so hungry that they
devoured the whole of the birds shot
except the bill and claws. Their drink
was tea, water, chocolate, etc, but they
took no grog. In conclusion, the lee
turer mentioned that on his return he
and his party. consisting of eight, were
given the $4,000 granted by govern
ment for the discovery of the remains Of
those forming the Franklin expedition.
