The appearance of the Eskimo dog is
very much that of wolf, accompanied
by the sharpness and intelligence Of the
Scotch collie. Although capable of much
affection. most of them are ready to
fight on the smallest provOcation. These
dogs are particularly valuable for their
powers of endurance, feature of the
utmost value to such party as this
when ratiOns grow scarce. They are gen-
orally attached to sledge in teams of
eight to ten, and will pull compare
lively heavy load across the snow for
from eight to twelve hours a day. Un-
der hardships they seem Indifferent to
either starvation or fatigue, though it
is not unusual for one of them to drop
dead i'll the traces whilst engaged in his
task on trip. At the end of the days
journey the dogs are simply tied to pole
firmly planted in the snow, and, whilst
their masters are either rolled in a sleep
ing-bag or ensconced in tent, the dogs.
impervious to the extreme cold. appear
to sleep just as wei! lying snugly on the
top of the snow. Their food is fish and
seal meat, although in civilized surround
jngs they take kindly to horse flesh, and
even dog-cakes. Many stories might be
told Of their sagacity and their won
derful efforts to save life. and it is to
be hoped that in the new and strange
experiences they will go through before
reachings the scene of their labors the
efforts that will be made to keep them
in the good form and condition in which
they have landed in this country will be
crowned with success.-LOndon Chroni-
