Two of them are warranted to make the : blood fairly boil and cause the temperature around the pole to seetu like an August day in America. I shall at once consult the government !!bout sending out an expedition. The government provides the ship, and I3owser's lozenges do the rest." "But you haven't tried them yetl" "No, but I tam about to do so. I wonder if our cook wouldn't eat one and tbeu sit on a snow, bank in the back yard and see how it worked?" "Of course she wouldn't."

As they stood with their h backs to tLi; range in the kitchen and hungrily eyed the re- mains of dinner he took their tempera- ture and pronounced it normal and then escorted them to the back yard. There were snow banks against the fence, and he selected positions and sat them down. It was a keen, cold night, one made to order for such an experiment. "Now,then," said lir. Bowser as all was' ready, "I take it that you feel cold?" "W -e d -o!" replied the leen in chorus through their chattering teeth. "That is splendid I estimate. that there is a ditfereuce of at least forty -degrees betweeu your temperature and that of the weather. Yon will now each of you take a lozenge in your mouth and let it slowly dissolve. ' Iu two minutes your blond ought to be the same temperature as the weather; in five you ought to imagine that robins are singing 'and daisies blooming around you," As Mr. Bowser was not experiu]ent- inb on himself, be discreetly retired to the warm atmosphere of the kitchen and took his stand at a window. He bad scarcely began his observations when one of the tramps rolled over and began to kick like a horse tangled up in his harness, while the other sprang to his feet and spat and splut- tered and coughed and crammed , his mouth full of snow.

"Yes. What sort of a g -g -game?" added the other as a snowball melted in .his mouth. "It's no game at all. It's an experi- ment, as I told you. What have you done with those lozenges?" "S -s -spit 'em out, darn yet" "Yes, s -s -spit 'ens out!" "Bufyou mustn't do it. These are to raise the temperature of your blood un- til it affects the temperature of the at- mosphere. If you'll kept sucking the lozenges you'd have been perspiring by this time. Sit down and try it again;" "Bill," said the first as he continued to eat snow and draw in long breaths 9f the' frosty air, "does it look like a cold blooded attempt to burn up the vitals of two respectable'gents?" "It do, Sani; it do." "Anti by the burning up our vitals take away our appetite?" "That's the game." "If I was playing. any gauze would I promise you a giinrter apiece?" asked Mr. Bowser.
