AS general thing we are not aware that a partv

effects of severe cold is tn destroy the sensitive
ness OF the parts exposed. Surgeons make use
OF this slcs in small operations and cool the parts
by artificial cold. The ears the nose. some
times tiic cheeks. and the hands and feet are
the parts most liable To be frozen. One of the
nrsf effects of freezing is To stop the circulation
OF the blood. and any part in which the circUla-
ton Il checked by other means is all the more
hkeiy t. bee frozen. The Oid-fashOned skates
