ICE in THE TROPICS.
WRITER SAYS IT Is PLENTIFUL
ON THE EQUATOR.
It's Presence Simply a Question Of the
Operation Of Natural LaW-Both
Snow and Ice Shrink and Expand as
the Seasons Wane. -

1t must be almost inconceivable,
even to many people who have been
to- the equator, that within the swell
tering barbarism of the tropics there
are places where there is any guam
tity of ice and snow. Natural ice,,

white people who are gradually crowd
ing into the languid warmth perennial
ly 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
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 we'll as in temperate climates, and
thus it is merely question of the ex-
lstence 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, or a GLOBE,
the line where snow lies perpetually|
rises in great curve, which beginsl

Giles and rises and rises over the equa-;
tor to a height of between 10 900 and
$4,000 feet. In the British Isles this.
line passes but a. few hundred feet
above. the tops of the Scotch noun
tains, and it strikes the Alps about l.,
900 feet above the sea. The Alps and
the Caucasus, the Pyrennees and the
Himalayas 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 VIM

ing effects upon the vegetation of TEN:
perature climates, which affect the for
ests as we'll as the flowers that grow
under them, for they are both covered
up with snow, or frozen out, for many
months in tho wear
It is on account of this circumstance
that we get, in the great ranges north
and south of the equator, what are
termed Alpine forae, 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 to 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 matter of fact,
it is perhaps the most marked char
acteristic of the sweltering tropics that
they continue to swelter, without let

Grass on London BrIdue.

London bridge is the last place in
the world where one would expect to
find grass, but it is there, neverthe-
less. The slight space between the
curg and where the reconstruction
work is going on is filled with soil,
which has produced crop of grass,
though, it must be admitted, Of scanty
proportions. The traffic Of hay over
the bridge is one Of the sources of seed
