NO SLEEPING-BAG FOR THEM
LapIandsrs Preferred the Snow and
the Open Air. and So Had .
Comfortable Night.

Sir Henry Lucy tells In the Corn

had from Nansen. the explorer. It
amusingly illustrates the hardy health
OF the Laplanders.
Part Of Nansen's equipment for his
trip across Greenland consisted Of two
sleeping-bags made Of undressed
skins. On the first night Of the jour-
ney Nansen and his two Norwegian
companions got into one OF the bags.
pulled the mouth tight across their
necks. and SO slept In the snow with
only their heads out.
Before retiring to rest. Nansen saw
the three Laplanders he had engaged
for the expedition cozily tucked into
the other sleepIng.bag. When he
awoke In the morning. almost numb
with cold. he observed that the bag
in which he had tied up the Lapland-
ers was empty. and that they were no.
where in sight. He was afraid they
had deserted him. and scrambling
out Of the bag he went in search Of
them. He found the three men fast
asleep behind hillock Of snow that
they had scraped together as pro-
lection against the wind.
'Ah. master" they said. when ask
ed to explain this extraordinary con-
duct, I'VE couldn't sleep in that thing.

to suggest an absence OF red-blood;

meaning literature is at least as stern
