i £5hid gravel sealed up in- old "sour dough' will row for when he sces these signs for he knows well w hours the whole wsur- be a mass of slush ice, which it will be impossible to te a rowboat, and equally im- le to leave it. ly morning the cold air of the Sarid will have welded all this and »e ® have the frst 2 making h' tiny rain of sand is frst giv- coat of ice. The cost grows on the upper side. Finally it gots so thick that the buoyancy of the icé overbalances the Weight of the gravel; the mass leaves the bottom, and, reached a stratum of warmer water, the ice melts a Httle, releasing the gravel, and bobs merrily to the surface. The - fact of its being anchored to the gravel at the bottom has given it the name of anchor ice, and that free2g-wp is expressively called "the anchor ige freeze-up." After a week or two of good hard there is nearly always a wind that comes up from the south for a last flying visit, and the foe is broken up imto huge cakes. These drift before the wind or with current, and when they are stop- by some natural barrier they pile on each other, sometimes many high, making the ice jams that so hard for "mushers" or "log opers" to get over in traveling en comes the real freeze-up, when surface of every lake.and river is solid. 'the cold grows more intense water in the depths give off a #, and this, being warmer than ice, melts it here and there, air holes--the river's lungs. [Woe betjde the unwary pedestrian who pens to strike one of these air holes just: before it opens, for in Jonch ong of them iz written the im- "Leave hope behind, {ho enters here." One may lpok out wpon the frozen surface of a lake or iver and ses many of these air hol- #®, distinguished enly by the Volume lof vapor rising like the smoke of buge signal fires upon a prairie. {When the weather moderates some of |these gigantic nostrils sccm te be un- necessary, and a thin coat of ice forms over them. They they are {more dangerous than ever, because ithe channel is just beneath, ready to take the victim instantly intg the Fumes of the fce. = After a month er two of freezing very thick dried up at rce, shrink into smaller , and the great mass of ice | £gett tles."" Long cracks open up in 'fts harrow surface with thundering nolsce like volleys of artillery. Then the water beneath, hard pressed for an easy channel, runs into and along these cracks, the surface freezes up, and there is an artificial subterran- ean river, so to speak. More cracks open up and more of these little riv- ers form, until the great mass of ice contains a veritable network of im- fl HT th ; Jn! @ependent streams. At this time of the year the "che- chako," or tenderfoot, sey dig with pick and ax and shqvel for 20 feet down through the ice to get water, all the time hearing its deep-toned gurgle somewhere beneath Finally he strikes almost dry sand ih in the bottom of the river, but no water. The "sour dough," om the othep band, is a water witch, after a faghlon. With his ax he wil per- cuss the surface, just as the physi- cian does a man's chest, and often- times one blow will opem up a cry- stal river. His ear never misleads him. The signs are infallible. But the "sour dough' will find more than water down there. When might comes on he will cut a spruce torch from the forest near by whittle a harpoon out of pine Knot, stand with his lighted torch at the hole he has made and pull out big, fine fish until he and his dogs are satiated. --John A. Hoinsby, in Toronto Sunday World. ? "AL 'Lo Makes His Owa Liquer. A letter received at the Toronto Methodist mission rooms recently from R. W.
