Things We Don't Understand

"
One of the things we do not un..
derstand is how people can pretend
to like that which at heart they dis
like, and often make believe they
don't like a thing when they do. Not
all, but many, people act thus. This
pretense is not directed alone to
things" but it takes. in human be-
ings. We like "open and above
board" people, those who "say what
they mean and mean what they
say" the same behind ones back as
20 ones face; broad minded, "one-
faced' men and women, who, like 1T
tie children, generally, are not de-
ceitful, and two-faced ceratures.

"Dere was a traveller on a lonely road,

LIFE AT 60 BELOW
BY Edwin Tarrisse

"T ooK out. or you win drop that chissl!"
ABefore the sentence was finished the
tool had slipped from the hand Of my as
sistant and, striking upon some bar iron,
few into pieces as II 1t had been glass in
stead Of steel"
This reads like bit out Of "Alice in
Wonderland" but Is sober fact, a told BY
an American formerly engaged in various
enterprises ut Dawson, in the Yukon terri
tory.
It II interesting to learn what happens at
go degrees below zero, . temperature not
uncommon in the Yukon. For example. the
sentleman mentioned tells Of one stretch Of
such cold In January, q spell that endured
two weeks. The temperature ranged from
A degrees below zero (the warmest) down
to 8S degrees below. Some Of the outlying
Yukon police stations reported 30 degrees
below. These cold waves alternate with
warmer periods of 10 degrees below.
At such temperatures as these strange
manifestations appear. One is the way
FIRE burns in the stove. 1t roars and crackles
like q great forge, and wood in the stove
seems to dissolve in the flames like q chunk
of ice; the wood is gone and one wonders
where the heat went.
At 90 degrees below every stovepipe
throws out q great white cloud Of smoke and
vapor, resembling a steamboat in its white
ness, and this cloud streams away for from
80 to 100 feet, mingling with the other
white gray mist or haze that remains per-
manent in the atmosphere Of the town like
a great fog when it is 10 degrees or more
below zero. This white gray fog is not fog
as We know It, but is frozen fog, and every
man, woman, child, animal and even the
fire that burns Is throwing out moisture into
the air, which is Immediately turned into
a cloud Of frozen vapor that floats away and
remains viSibly suspended in the air. Very
slowly this settles to earth and in the morn.
ing, about the steps and any protected
place, one can see a very fine film of four
like dust deposited, which is composed Of
frozen vapor.
Exposed ears, hands and noses freeze
at this temperature in going the distancee
of about one city square. The breath roars
like a mild jet of steam, while a dipper Of
boiling water thrown out into the air emits
a peculiar whistling as its drops circle
through the frosty atmosphere.
Prospectors, in attempting to boil a dish
of rice or beans upon a camp fire unprotected
from the weather, find that the side Of the
dish that is in the FIRE will boil, while the
part of the dish exposed to the weather has
