The Eskimo's Ice House.

But the snow house is not the only kind
used In the Arctic winter by these strange
people, for ice is sometimes employed though
in no way to the extent that the other is used.
have already said that snow must be of
certain quality or consistency to make good
building material, a matter depending on low
temperature and the fierce Arctic winds.
Sometimes in the early winter one or both
of these conditions generally the latter have
not been fulfilled, and yet it is uncomfortably
cold living in their seal skin tents, the usual
summer abode. Then the Eskimo looking
for better quarters, cuts slabs of ice from
some lake, when it has frozen to about six
inches in thickness, and these slabs. about the
size of the common house door, are placed on
end, and joined edge to edge, really making
a pen of ice of the size of the house they de-
sire to have. Over the top, supported on
poles so as to raise it in the center, is the seal
skin tent, which is fastened there so as to
form very serviceable roof; although this
may be replaced by dome of snow later on.
A night scene in one of these ice villages.
with their transparent sides and bright burn.

treme.-Frederick -Schwatka in Cosmopol.

Graphic Picture of a Cyclone.

The Valley of Virginia is SO happily sit
rated that it has neither the billiards. OF
the North and West nor the cyclones of the
South, so that description of one of the
latter is news to the Augusta county reader.
We make the following extract from let
ter. received by a Staunton lady from
friend in Georgia, and kindly furnished
the v1ND1oAToR. It gives one an excellent
idea of what a cyclone does:
After the train left Atlanta, about +.
NJ, it began to rain, thunder and tighten,
and seemed to continue for hours. When
we reached Lumber City the cyclone had
passed and swept the telegraph poles and
everything else about two miles west OF
that place, so the train waited for several
hours for orders and all the passengers got
out for breakfast. just as we had finished:
a colored man rode up and said four men
had been killed and about dozen wound
ed, two miles from town. AS had never
seen a cyclone field I concluded to go
and see it; SO got horse and buggy and
on the way went part of the road was up
to the hubs in wa,er and the ground was
so level that it looked as if the water cid
not know which way to run. When
reached the place they were just putting
the four dead men in a wagon to take
them down to Lumber City, and the
wounded were grooming and filled every
shanty that had been left standing by the
cyclone.
The dead were terribly disfgured and
one man I underst God did not have whole
bone left in his body. I saw fiat railroad
cars carried fifty yards from the track
and another was taken trucks, wheels and
all about 10 feet At this place was carried
on saw mill and turpentlne still and one
store. The saw mill and still were blown
away, except machinery and the store was
scattered in every direction. I saw some
of the goods of the store that were picked
up four miles away, an iron safe that was
about feet square was blown over on its
side and large sides of meat and heavy
axes were carried as far as from the post
office to the V1NDlcAToR Office. mattress
and pillows were carried mile; two dead
rabbits were found in wheat field and sup
posed to have been blown from the woods
half mile off. One of the occupants of
shanty had half dozen full grown chick
ems and they were found scattered over
wheat field with their feathers picked off
as clean as If they had been prepared for
the dinner pot With my mule and buggy
I brought to Lumber City, one poor
wounded man whose clothes and shoes had
been blown away except pair of over-alls
and wooden jacket and every time the
wheel would strike rough place in the
road he would groan with pain. 1t was
sad, sad picture to behold and one I shall
never forget.
