the fact that SO many more people COM

direct effect Of cold upon human minds

monest method of self destruction and
rsort to it is difficult or impossible
when rivers and ponds are covered with
ice. This accounts for a part of the de-
crease. Another part is explained by
the circumstance THAT in cold weather

here is thus less opportunity for COM

hi wever, that it is possible to explain
tn matter wholly without reference to
thes depressing offsets Of cold ON the

of heat. It require some energy and
dete animation to commit suicide, and
this is lacking in u person suffering
from extreme cold. AL these considera.
