Yakutslk District.

In Yakutsk district the thermometer
is known to fall as low as so degrees
Fahrenheit below zero. The inhabit-
ants (the Yakuts) of this district, says
the London Graphic, are very inter-
esting people, as it is evident that they
are different type from the surround
ing Mongolian tribes.
Prof. A. H. Keane, in his Man, Past
and Present." says: "They are almost
the only progressive aboriginal people
in Siberia, although numbering not
more than 100000 souls, concentrated
chiefly along the river banks on the
plateau between the Lena and the AL
dan. In the Yakuts we have an extreme
instance of the capacity of man to
adapt himself to milieu. They do not
merely exist, but thrive, and display a
considerable degree of energy and en-
terprise in the coolest region of the
globe. Within the isothermal of -72
degrees Fahrenheit. Verhoyansk is the
heart OF their territory. Is alone includ-
ed for the period from November to
February, and in this temperature, at
which quick silver freezes, the Yakut
children may be seen gamboling naked
in the snow.
