During the pest winter a team of dogs hauled a ship over the ice. The vessel in question, an auxiliary gaso- line schooner, carrying the mail, "was caught in the ice on the Great Slave Lake, and the sefvices of a team of (twenty-nine dogs had to be utilized before the boat could be freed.

When one of the {party is ahead of the team on snow- |shoes, breaking the trail, the dogs | accommodate their speed to that of the trail breaker with a great degree | of nicety; the slower the man goes | the better the dogs like it.

It a part of a nerve be destroyed, so that a gap is left, the 8ap can be Billed by a piece of nerve from some other part of the body and the fune- tion of the nerve theraby be restored.
