Then it is sufficient to suspend a
small metal dome or cap. to which a

When this point is reached the string

ney from Monastir, and who came. in
with the first heavy snowfall, strongly
advised me to abandon my plan of
spending the winter in the tundra; we
should find no gold there-certainly
not in the winter, at any rate-so that
l should bring out nothing more than
l took in. Indeed, we should probably
return-if we did return-diminishe
in respect of some of our most essen
tial personal belongings-a finger or
a nose or an ear.
When the first Tungus-those who
had made their camps for the winter
fairly near the village-began to come
in for supplies, made haste to begin
negotiations for sledges and reindeer
for the journey. 1t was difficult to
make them understand what exactly
wished to do.
But at last l found a man to whom
was able to make it clear that l wished
to go into the heart of Tungusland, to
visit and talk with the fungus, passing
from tent to tent across the Limplisk
tundra that stretches for some thou
sand versts between Turukhansk and
l.. Yessei-the latter lying about 300
versts within the arctic circle TO the
northeast of Monastir, which is just
south of that parallel.
Tents Are Like Wigwams.
The fungus are nomad reindeer
breeders, and the conditions of their
life as such make it necessary for
each family to live at a comfortable
distance from it's nearest neighbors.
A reindeer herd in it's search for moss
ranges over large extent of territory,
so that the distance between two en-
campments is hardly less than fifty,
and may be as much as one hundred
versts. An encampment comprises
one or two tents of shape and con-
struction similar to an American In
dams wigwam. When the moss in the
neighborhood of the camping place is
exhausted the family moves on to an
other feeding ground, tents and house
hold goods being carried on sledges, or
on the backs of their reindeer.
Eat much" was the guides advice;
laugh much, and keep your feet cry.
Then you will be all right"
Indeed, l found his advice good,
worthy to be borne in mind continual
ly in a country where the midwinter
temperature not infrequently falls to
between 80 degrees and 80 de-
srees Fahrenheit. The great problem
is how to keep your feet warm on the
sledges. since it is well not to have
your legs incumbered with too much
covering in case of an upset.

KNOW VALUE OF FRESH AIR
Also the Necessity for Cultivation
of Proper Breathing.

The open air theory for the benefit
of tuberculosis is comparatively re-
cent thought. The story is that Doc
tor Trudeau recognized that he had
this dread and common disease, and
grasped at the open air life as his last
and only hope. When he sought the
mountains near Saranac. determined
TO live in the open air. his course was
viewed as suicidal. Fellow physicians
thought that excessive fear of death
had robbed him OF his medical judy
ment. ALI his friends looked for an
early end.
Doctor Trudeau not only regained
his health. but he gained a better
measure of health than no had over
enjoyed before. Then he began to
send back to the cities for working
men and working women. and cottages
were built out OF the trees of the hills.
and an open air colony started. This
was the first in this country, and the
date was 1854. Ten years later he es-

markable propaganda against the

coming popular. Ono Of the most
noted OF modern medical men, open
ing his comprehensive treatise on the
preservation OF human efficiency and
health. begins with fresh air.
Now, the common form of tubercu-
losis is the pulmonary form-the form
which attacks the lungs. Lungs pre-

breathe with the lungs. The quality
OF our breathing-that is, the depth

tory of health or of tuberculosis as
the quality of the air which we

The fungus are great eaters. Their

Strong Love of Country.

The shadowy ravines, the vast
