THE WORLDS COOLEST PLACE.
Russian Hamlet on Yana River Holds
that Distinction.

Nerchoiausk is considered to be the
coolest place in the world. 1t is small
collection of native log houses, planted
near to- but not on, the Yana river. The
street. if SO it may be called. extends on
either side of narrow sheet of water,
kind Of creek formed by the autumn
overflow of the Yana, and which in win
ter forms a frozen promenade or driving
place for sleds. 1t is dreary place
enough. The summer lasts only four
months, and during the other eight of
the year it is bitterly cold: the thermom-
eter sometimes indicates SO degrees be-
low zero and seldom goes above 80 de-
grees until April 80.
Corn will not grow in this desolate re-
gion. Barley and oats have been sown,
but have always succumbed to the early
frosts. OF vegeta bles, there are only the
radish and the turnip. with. perhaps, an
occasional and very precarious crop of
potatoes. Cabbages all run to leaf. The
ground rarely thaws, even during the hot
season, beyond twelve or eighteen inches
deep, and i'll places most exposed to the
hutS, never beyond a yard. Most of the
dwellings, are Rakut huts, built of fur
trees against a square framework and
covered thickly with mud to keep out the
cold
