terfng barbarism OF the tropics there
are places where there IS any guam
tity OF ice and snow Natural ice,
moreover. and not the dirty apology
for il which is manufactured, and re-
garded now as a necessity By the
white people who are gradually crowd
ing into the languid warmth perennial
~ filling the equatorial portions Of
the earth. Right on the equator there
is both ice and snow covering wide
districts. where. as on an English jan
uary midnight, the air bites shrewdly
and it is very cold" The law that as
We ascend the air gets cooler and
cooler about a degree for every hun
dred feet, holds good in the tropics
as well as in temperate climates, and
thus il IS merely a question Of the ex-
istenee Of sufficiently high land any
where to insure the presence Of both
frost and snow
As a matter Of fact, If we look at a
spherical map Of the earth, OF a globe.
the line where snow lies perpetualIy
rises in a great curve. which begins
at the sea level within the arctic cir
Giles and rises and rises over the equa-
tor to a height Of between 1900 and
1900 feet In the British Isles this
line passes but a few hundred feet
above the tops Of the Scotch noun
tains. and il strikes the Alps about =
600 feet above the sea The Alps and
the Caucasus, the Pyrennees and the
Htmalayas and the desolate arctic
wastes are always covered with ice
and snow above certain heights and
above certain ATTITUDES; but in all
these extra-tropical regions the snow
and the ice shrink and expand as the
seasons wax and wane, the snow Of
the arctic extending during the win
tiers over wide areas in the temperate
regions, while from the high noun
tains the snow fields invade the deep
forests and the cultivated areas in the
valleys every time the winter sets in
The occasional oscillation Of the snow
lines on the mountains. and in the
winter spreading over the arctic SHOWS
and ice, have each Of them far-reach-
ing effects upon the vegetation Of TEN
perature climates, which affect the for
ests as well as the flowers that grow
under them, for they are both covered
up with snow, or frozen out, for many
months in the year.
It is on account Of this circumstance
that we get, in the great ranges north
and south Of the equator. what are
termed Alpine fiorae, or plants, the
welfare OF which depends upon their
being covered up in deep snow for half
the year, their structure having be-
come specially adapted 10 it. At first
sight we should perhaps expect that
the snow and ice upon the mountains
in the tropics should oscillate in the
same way, but, as a matter Of fact,
il is perhaps the most marked char
acteristic Of the sweltering tropics that
they continue to swelteT. without let
