AT 60 DEGREES BELOW ZERO.
How the Intense Cold of Winter in
the Far Northwest Affects Man
and Animals

Il asked an Alaskan pioneer who
was crossing to his old home in Swe-
den what happened when the Their
mometer goes down to 60 and so de-
grees below Zero" said Marshall j.
Taylor, of Seattle Wash. "At 60 de-
srees below" he said, "the exposed
ears, hands or nose will freeze in going
a quarter of mile under ordinary cir
stances; but the children go and come
from school as usual without suffering
from the cold provided their faces and
hands are protected.
''They soon get used to it. But eau
tlon must be used to avoid drawing
the cold air into the lungs, and it is
dangerous to breathe through the

brought on by freezing the lungs in
that way than from any other form of
exposure Horses are protected by
breathing bags. which extend down
from the nose of the animal about is
inches and are open at the bottom.
The breath which is exhaled warns
the air in the bag before it is inhaled

Pen Mar.

Some fellow down Lancaster way
has come out with the explanation as
to how Pen Mar got it's name. "It is of
Cornish extraction says the Lancas-
ter man, and he quotes an ancient
rhyme to prove it. The fact is that
Pen Mar is SO called because it is on
the Mason Dixon line, with Pennsyl-
vania on one side and Maryland on
the other, the first three letters of
each state name being used to form
the world.-Philadelp North Amer.

Historically, sheep scab is one of
the oldest diseases of sheep, but its
cause was not discovered until about
the middle of the nineteenth century
(lS35), when the agent producing the
disease was found to be very small
mite. This mite Is light gray in color
and the female is one-fortieth and the
male one-sixtieth of an inch in length.
In general appearance the mite re-
sembles a tiny spider. 1t has four
pairs of legs, the last being very
small and the third pair having long
thread-like appendages which are
longer in the female than in the male.
The mite crawls very slowly, showing
that its power OF locomotion is weak.
A female will lay from ten to twenty
eggs during her lifetime These eggs
are SO small that they cannot be dis
tinguished with the naked eye. The
period OF incubation is from four to
ten days, depending mainly upon tenn
perature. Gerlach, noted authority
estimates the descendants OF a single
female to be 100000 females and
100000 males at the end OF 80 days.
He estimates the average number Of
eggs from single female to be IS,
ten of which hatch females and five
males, and allows 15 days for each
generation.
The first symptom that attracts
ones attention to the affected animal
is its rubbing certain parts OF its back,
sides or tail against some object, or
biting at these parts, as the bites of
