Thecoldest city in the world is Yakutsk,
on the Lena River, in Siberia The mean
temperature of the town throughout the
year Is the same as that on the summit
of Mont Blanc There are many populous
cities lying much nearer the North Pole,
but in none of them is the climate so Bit
ter or the ground SO continuously and
80 deeply frozen as in Yakutsk. And
yet, Notwithstanding, it has resident
population of 5000 souls, and it is great
trading city as we'll; thousands of mer-
chants, hunters, and mariners throng its
markets at specified seasons with the
costliest furs and skins and all sorts of
necessities of life for sale, and over
1000, 900 of rubies change hands yearly.

The uses Of sawdust are daily becom-
ing more varied. II has recently been
utilized for the manufacture of paper
pulp and sheathing paper. It has also
been discovered that fine sawdust is UNI
equaled for the dressing Of wounds, and
rs a vehicle for indictments or antisep-
tics. The sawdust, when freed from
splinters and sharp bits of wood and
used alone and dry, is clean and pleas
ant dressing; it readily takes up and
holds the discharges without packing or
adhering. and is readily rendered anti
septic by any OF the methods used in the
preparation of antiseptic wool or cotton.
1t is suggested that the yellow pine saw
dust, being rich in turpentine, would
prove valuable antiseptic application.
