at the county winter resort will be

put it, but if they ever return, it will
be bread and water
"Are you honestly going to do

porters.

out to the letter this plank in his

Snow The Island of Fire is called
the Home Of Hot Devils. 1t is situat-

steam and gases which arise from the
sticky mud form themselves into bub-
hles attaining a diameter Of five or six
feet and sailing high up in the air like
balloons. carried hither and thither by
the wind and finally exploding with a
loud crash.
The biggest snow lake is seen from
the summit OF Hispar pass, in the ka-
rakoran range. 1t Is more than 800
square miles in area. In Switzerland
the sea of ice might better be called
the sea of snow. as the surface Is bro

the appearance of snow.
