Decidedly Told. it is a cold climate In which a flame cannot keep itself warm. Doctor Moss, of the Polar expedition of 1875-187- 6, oilier peculiar experiences, tells of the effect of the Intense cold on a wax candle that he tried to burn. The temperature was thirty-fiv- e degrees below zero, and Its effects were felt, not only by the explorers, but even by. the candle. It gave forth no cheery light such as might have been expected from It under other circumstances, and wheu Doctor Moss came to examine It, he found that the flame had all it could do to keep Itself warm. The air was so cold that the flame was not. powerful enough to melt all the wax of the candle, but was compelled to eat its way down, leaving a skeleton structure of wax in the form of a hollow cylinder. Inside this cylinder the wick burned with a tongue of yellow fire, and here and there the heat was sufficient to perforate the outer covering, and leave holes of odd shapes that turned the cylinder into a tube of lace-Uk- e wax, through the holes In which the light shone with a strange, weird beauty. among AFRAID TO MOVE HER HEAD.
