worked down to about half an inch in
diameter, with ferule of walrus tusk or
the tooth of bear on the bottom. By
thrUsting this into the snow he can tell
whether the layers deposited by success
siye winds are separated by bands OF
soft snow, which would cause the blocks
to break. When the snow is selected he
digs pit to the depth of eighteen inches
or two feet, or about the length of the
snow block. He then steps into the pit
and proceeds to cut ont the blocks by
first cutting down at the ends of the pit
and then at the bottom afterward, cut
ting little channel about an inch or two
deep, making the thickness of the pro
posed block.
Now comes the part that requires
practice to accomplish successfully.
The expert will, with few thrusts of his
knife in just the right places, split off
the snow-block and lift it carefully out
to await removal to its position on the
wall. The tyro will almost inevitably
break the block into two or three pieces
utterly unfit for the use of the builder.
When two men are building an igloo,
one cuts the blocks and the other erects
the wall. When sufficient blocks have
been cut out to commence work with,
the builder marks with his eve or per-
haps draws line with his knife describ-
ing the circumference of the building,
usually O. circle. about ten or twelve feet
in diameter, The first row of blocks is
then arranged, the blocks placed so as
to incline inward and resting against
each other at the ends, thus afording
mutual support. When this row is COM
pleted, the builder cuts away the first
and second blocks, slanting in from
the ground upward, so that the second
tier, resting upon the first row, can be
continued on and around spirally, and
by gradually increasing the inward slant
perfect dome is constructed of such
strength that the builder can lie fiat
upon the outside while thinking the
interstices between the blocks. The
thinking is, however, usually done by
women and children as the building
progresses, and additional protection
secured from the winds in very cold
weather by banking up, with a large
wooden snow-shovel, the snow at the base
often being piled to the depth of three
or four feet. This makes the igloo per-
fectly impervious to the wind in the
most tempestuous weather. When the
house is completed the builders are
walled in. Then small hole about two
feet square is cut in the wall on the
side away from where the entrance is to
be located and is used to pass in the
lamps and bedding. 1t is then walled
up and the regular door cut about two
feet high and niched at the top. 1t
would bring bad luck to carry the bed
ding into the igloo by the same door it
would be taken out. Before the door is
opened the bed is constructed of snow
blocks, and made from one to three or
four feet high, and occupies three
fourths of the entire space. The higher
the bed and the lower the door the
warmer the igloo will be.-FrOna an

s'Put Down Your Old Green House,

You have seen them, we supposed
least Beldazie has-those large oval con-
trivances of glass which are used to cover
French mantel clocks. Timothy was
moving his household goods and gods
last week, and it fell to his share to carry
transparent article like those referred
to. He proposed to hire hack to ac-
complish his task, but Mrs. B. said they
could not afford it, so he started on his
perilous journey on foot. He chose the
evening as best suited to his purpose, for
he would then escape being overlooked
by his neighbors, but he found that he
had made mistake in so doing, and that
little more light would have been agree
able if not useful. He felt his way
cautiously along, and narrowly escaped
being knocked down by runaway horse,
and experienced considerable trepida-
ton, when two boys began to pelt each
other with horse-chestnuts. Both of his
hands were employed, so he could not
run after the urchins without endanger-
ing his precious burden, and the more he
demonstrated with them the more they
continued to aggravate him with their
performances, shouting: "Put down your
old greenhouse, old fellow, and wen
have bout with you'll" Fortunately. at
this moment friendly policeman APP
peared in sight, and with parting
shower, the boys took to their heels. AT.
ter many adventures of similar kind,
Beldazie at last reached the door of his
new mansion, and with sigh of relief
he opened the door aid stepped into the
hall. It was as dark as the ways of the
proverbial Chinaman, and inst then he
felt something run between his legs, and
found himself amid wreck Of broken
glass. At this juncture Mrs. B. made
her appearance on the scene, holding
match over her head in vain endeavor
to light the gas in the entry, and Timothy
caught sight of streak of fur disappear

Origin Of Cyclones.

For the purpose OF discovering the
causes which determine the progressive
movement of storms, [ have made an
extensive examination of the course and
velocity of storm centers i'll tropical re-
gions, and also of abnormal paths in the
middle latitudes of Eourope and Ameri-
ca. have examined the course of all
those hurricanes which have originated
near the West India Islands, and whose
paths have been carefully investigated,
and also all the storm tracks delineated
on the maps of the monthly weather re-
view. [ have likewise examined all
those hurricanes in Southern Asia and
its vicinity whose paths have been best
determined, and all the storm tracks de-
hneated on the maps of the international
series OF observations. The following
summary presents some of the results
derived from this investigation: ID The
lowest latitude in which a cyclone center
has been formed near the West India
Islands is ten degrees, and the lowest lat
itude in the neighborhood of Southern
Asia is six degrees. Violent squalls and
fresh gales of wind have, however, been
encountered directly under the equator.
(2) The ordinary course of tropical hur-
ricanes is toward the northwestward. In
few cases they seem to have advanced
toward point little south of west, and
In few cases their course has been al
most exactly toward the north. 81
Tropical hurricanes are invariably &C.
companied by violent fall of rain. The
rainfall is never less than five inches in
twenty-four hours for portion of the
track and frequently it exceeds ten
inches in observation-disclosures. az Tropical
storms are generally preceded by q
northerly wind, and after the passage Of
the low center the wind generally veers
to the southeast at stations near the
center, and the southerly wind which
follows the low center, is generally
stronger than the northerly wind which
preceded it.
This fact appears to suggest the ex-
PLANTATION of the origin of the cyclone
and the direction of its progressive move
ment The prevalent direction of the
wind in the neighborhood of the West
India Islands is from the northeast.
Occasionally strong wind sets in from
southerly quarter. The interference
Of these winds with each other gives
rise to a gyration and a fall of rain
sometimes results. When the rain COM
mences the latent heat which is lib
Grated causes an inflow of wind from all
quarters, by which the rainfall is in
creased; and since the wind is DETECTED
by the rotation of the earth an arch of
low pressure is produced and the force
Of the winds viii be maintained as long
as the rainfall continues. The effect Of
this strong wind from the south is to
transport the low center in northerly
direction, and by the combined action Of
the south wind and the normal from the
northeast the center of low pressure is
usually carried in direction between
the north and west.-Prof. Eliza

A se,aaihfa Girl.

The Princess Augusta Victoria, the
bride of the German Emperor's grand
son and the future Empress of Germany,
is not wealthy, having dover much
smaller than many merchants daugh-
ter. But she is an excellent young
woman, clever and sensible. Spiritually,
il is said, she was nursed on rationalism
of the kind which the Grown Princess
inherited from her father. Her charita-
Bile qualities, the housewifely grace with
which she cuts bread-and- butter for the
little boys and girls Of Potsdam and
Charlottenburg, her engaging manner
and her soft Teutonic cast of beauty will
endear her to her people.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
Exercise for Girls.

Moderate exercise in the open air Is
doubtless beneficial. But excessive
dancing and skating ere both injurious
to women, especially before they have
acquired the full measure of their physi-
cal powers. Horseback exercise, which
seems successful means of strengthen
ing the English constitution, is often
times too violent for their less-robust
transatlantic cousins. The American
soil and climate have given tempera-
ment to the race quite at variance with
that of the European family, and which
requires widely different treatment.

Pretty Women.

1t is not the smiles of pretty face,
nor the tint OF her complexion, nor the
symmetry of her person, nor the costly
dress or decorations, that compose wom-
ans loneliness. Nor is it the enchanting
glance OF her eye, with which she darts
such luster on the man she deems wor-
thy of her friendship, that constitutes
her beauty. It is her pleasing deport-
ment, her chaste conversation, the sensi-
bility and purity of her thoughts, her
affable and open disposition, her sympa-
thy with those in adversely, and, above
all, the humbleness of her soul, that
constitute true loyelinezs.
