In blizzard Lind.


North Dakota, according to the tenlpera.
ture maps, is the coolest part of the United
States. This is accounted for by the fact
that there are no mountains to break the
force of the storms originating il the arctic
regions. From Manitoba they como rushing
and bowling into our territory with great
force, packing the sand like snow SO firmly
that new formed drifts four or five feet high
will bear tho weight of horses
During ono of these billiards. it is impos.
sibe to TO comfortable out of doors, even
when the mercury does not fall below zero.
The snow packs into the clothing so that no
shaking will dislodge it, and the sharp par
ticles cut like glass or steel 1t is impossible
to face such storm, and persons and horses
naturally turn their faces from the blast, and
doing so, even in the slightest degree, causes
them to lose their way on tho plains.
The snow looks exactly like granulatctl
sugar. We never sec it fall in large, fcathcry
dukes, as it docs i'll other parts of the country
When it SHOWS it invariably blows, andevclv
building, largo or small, has its circle of
drifts
Occasionally for two or three days at a
time the north wind will take the snow (lvinc
past, and apparently not IL grain of it touches
the ground Straight south it will go in such
masses that you cannot see an object few
rods from YOU, then i'll n few days the sout !!
wind will hurl another mass bnck to the

This would be a pretty long rail journey,
but it would bo short compared with many
ocean voyages that are now made; in fact, 1t
would DO only about three and half times
as long as tho journey from New York to
San Diego, which is undertaken every day.
Allowing the moderate average of twenty
iiTe miles an hoyr, tho trip from New York
to London would take about twcnty-thrcc
days Then the tourist might add seven
days sail from Liverpool to New York, and
thus accomplish a trip around tho world in
thirty days, which would beat Jules Verne's
