Writing from Lake Placid, Phila-

Adirondacks thus describes his ex-
perience with the thermometer at 40
degrees below zero:

Gently the record for the year was
reached-40 degrees below zero at my

and the customs and manners of the
people are as in the days Of Abra-
ham. A traveller who has breathed
the air of the Arabian and African
deserts and of the high veldts and
who has tasted the wild freedom Of
the Australian bush declares that no
experience surpasses ride in Moroc-
CO, known to the Romans as Mauri-

Reused at dawn by the movement
of the camp you turn out of your
tent to see the horses fed and saddled
and to scold the muleteers into max
ing preparations for the march. No
child can be more hayward and no
mule more obstinate than Moor;
yet no one is more easily manged by
a little firmness and good temper. A
joke will stem the torrent of tumultu-
cigarette or pinch of snuff will melt
the heart of hadji who has done
the pilgrimage to Mecca, and the gift
of a knife or pair of scissors will
give you whole village for friend.
Tents and equipments are packed
on the mules and all the caravan is in
motion. You will have breakfast of
eggs and chickens and dates, in which
the country abounds, and are ready
for a thirty-mile ride.
The land is full of the charm of va
rety. In days journey you may
cross a wide plain covered with pal
metto or dwarf palm and pass by
groves of olive and fig and walnut and
orange and organ trees. The cool
shade of a locust, juniper, or even
a sharp-pointed aloe or prickly pear
will tempt you to lunch and repose
during the heat of the day upon the
bank of some purling stream.
The ride on horseback to Tetuan
from Tangier occupies about nine
hours. An escort of two Moorish
cavalrymen is necessary, as numbers
of wild tribesmen are continually
moving about the country, and there
is always certain amount of danger
in meeting them. Native runners do
the journey in eight hours for five
shillings.
