Then he looked at Agnes and Marga-

Poor little Redny! There he laid, in

shook mine, too. and l noticed how her

Then we rugged up a kind of bed for

at the arm. Hartley opened his eyes
while the examination was going on.

EXPLODING Ice Bubbles,

The intensely cold nights Of Siberia,

inches thick. and as the water de-
sends faster than it escapes through
the river the result Is Il heavy hydro
static pressure. This first causes the
ice upon the river to rise in mounds
