sank down, sobbing. All was over
In an hour at best, In that terrific TEN
perature, he would be an icy corpse.
But the love Of life was strong IL
him, and he sprang to his feet. He was
thinking quickly. What If the matches
did burn his hands? Burned hands
were better than dead hands. Nc
hands at all were better than death
He foundered along the trail until he
came upon another high-water lodg'
ment. There were twigs and branches.
leaves and grasses, all dry and waiting
the fire.
Again he sat down and shufhed the
bunch of matches on his knees, got IL
into a place OF his palm, with the wrist
Of his other hand forced the ~nerveless
fingers down against the bunch, and
with the wrist kept them there. At the
| second scratch the bunch caught fire,
| and he knew that If he could stand the
| pain he was saved. He choked with
the sulphur fumes, and the blue fame
licked the flesh of his hands.
At first he could not feel 1t, but 1t
burned quickly in through the frosted
surface. The odor of the burning flesh
his flesh-was strong in his nostrils.
He writhed about in his torment, yet
held On. He set his teeth and swayed
back and forth until the clear white
fame Of the burning match shot up,
and he had applied that fame to the
leaves and grasses.
An anSe53us five minutes followed, but
the fG gained steadily. Then he set to
worR to save himself. Heroic meas
ures were necessary, such was his ex-
tremity, and he took them.
Alternately rubbing his hands with
snow and thrusting them into the
flames, and now and again beating
them against the hard trees, he re-
stored their circulation sufficiently for
them to be Of use to him. With his
hunting knife he slashed the straps
from his pack, unrolled his blanket and
got out dry socks and footgear.
Then he cut away his moccasins and
barred his feet. But while he had taken
liberties with his hands he kept his
feet fairly away from the fire and
rubbed them with snow. He rubbed
till his hands grew numb, when he
would cover his feet with the blanket,
warm his hands by the fire and return
to the rubbing.
For three hours he worked till the
worst effects of the freezing had been
counteracted. All that night he stayed
by the fire, and it was late the next day
when he limped pitifully into the camp
on the Cherry Greek Divide.
In a months time he was able to b
about on his feet, although the toes
were destined always after that to be
very sensitive to frost. But the scars
on his hands he knows he will carry
to the grave. And - "Never travel
alone" he now lays down the precept
Of the north.-Youth's Companion.

Professor Fl. N. Russell, of Princeton.
describes in the Popular Astronomy a
method by which he has been able to
discover that the brighter stars give
light enough to cast shadows. He says:
CLOSE a window. from which the star
is visible, while as little light as posi-
BILE enters from terrestrial sources.
Darken the room completely, with the
exception of the window. Open the
window and screen down its aperture
to an area of a square foot OF. less.
Hold a large piece of white paper in
the path of the stars rays, as far from
the light as possible. The image of
the opening will then appear on the
paper. 1t cannot, however, be well
seen until the observer has spent at
least ten minutes in the dark, to restI
his eyes from the glare of ordinary
lights. The paper should be held with
in a foot or so of the eyes, as the
faint patch of starlight is the most
easily visible when its apparent area
is large. The shadow of any convent
ent object may be made to fall on the
screen and may be observed" A list
of tWenty-nine stars is given which |
have been shown in this way to be
capable Of casting shadows. Eight of
these stars are below the second mag.
