UNCLE IAGK'S
SATURDAY. TALK

My Dear Children:
This week l will tell you something that
will appear very strange TO you and that
is, that at times it Is less cold In the
frozen north than it is In the sunny south.
1t is not generally known that at certain
seasons of the year it Is warmer in Green
land than In southern Europe. and that
this occurs during the long SUNLESS winter
Of the Polar regions. The cause which
leads 70 Il is not unknown in other coun-
tries. Thus in Switzerland a warm, dry
wind, called the foehm wind, at times
blows down from the sn~ow-covered noun
taIns in autumn and winter, and suddenly
melts and carries off the snow, drying up
the atmosphere.
In the northwestern United States there
is a similar wind called the chinook wind.
SO in Greenland at irregular intervals q
warm wind blows down from the snow
covered Interior, bringing an extensive
thaw in January and February. As a re-
suit we have the extraordinary fact that
during eight consecutive days in Novem-
Der and December, 1875, II was warmer in
J~acokshavn, in latitude 50 degrees 20 min
utes. than In northern Italy. U~pernavik,
another town of Greenland, was. during
part of the time, warmer than the south
of France. Yours truly.

He was not there-he had fled.
He wandered about till he began to reel

end of a week the Tonquinese boy OF the

Spun sugar like silk.
Great Master Muffin did she marry,
Whose cloak was made Of toasted cheese;
His hat was framed with incest ~fritters,
In pie-crust coat he walked with ease.
His chocolate Waistcoat
Looked very funny,
With stockings of candy
And slippers of honey.
