of the heated gases in the stove pro- duced by combustion and that of the outside atmosphere when 1t is SO below causes the, heated gases to rush up- ward with great velocity. On not and muggy day the fire burns poorly, as the outside air approaches more nearly the temperature of the hot stove gases.
 At 50 below every stovepipe throws out a great cloud of smoke and vapor resembling a steamboat's in its white ness, and this cloud streams away from fifty to 100 feet in length, mingling with other white-gray mist or haze that remains permanent in the atmosphere of the town like a great fog when it's 40 or more below zero.
 This white-gray fog which clings about the town is not fog, as 1t Is known on the coast, for this Is frozen fog, if you understand the meaning, for this is the nature of 1t. and every man. woman and child, animal and fire that burns is throwing out moisture into the air which is immediately turned to cloud of frozen vapor and floats away and remains visibly suspended In the air.
 Very slowly this settles to earth. and in the morning about the steps and any protected place one can see a very fine film of f1our-like dust deposited which is composed of frozen vapor.
 At 60 below the exposed ears. hands or noze will freeze in going the dist ance of about enc block under ordinary circumstances. At this temperature the children go to school with the face and hands we'll protected from the frigid atmosphere, and you can understand that the still air is far more friendly than when it is in motion.
 The breath, if blown out into the cold air, roars like a mild jet of steam escaping. A dipper of boiling water taken from the stove and thrown out into the air at this temperature gives out a peculiar whistling hiss as it's boiling drops circle through the frosty air.
 Prospectors, in attempting to boil a dish of rice or beans upon camp fire unprotected from the weather. find that the side of the dish which Is in the fire will boil while the part of the dish exposed to the weather has frozen. To remedy this, the dish Is set completely into the fire. Edged tools subjected to this temperature become as hard and brittle as glass and will break as read fly under strain I have seen a pop safety valve blowing off steam when the weather was sixty degrees below zero and icicles were hanging from the outer rim of the valve formed by the condensation. The icicles were not melted by the outrushing steam. but remained there for days, through many blowoffs as I passed this station every day and watched the operation.
 All vegetables. potatoes, apples, fruit. eggs, etc, can be allowed to freeze and they become like bullets. To make them ready for use place them in cold water half a day before wanted for use and the frost will slowly withdraw and the article be found in perfect order for use without injury. To attempt to thaw them out by more rapid process by fire or hot water spells them.
 A frozen member of the human body foot. ear. or hand-can be safely thawed out by placing the member iu coal oil and keeping 1t there until the frost is all drawn out into the oil. This may require several hours if it be frozen foot or a hand frozen to the wrist, it taking about as long to draw out the frost into the oil as 1t took the member to freeze. This Is absolutely a
