The da in a cold by the Indians of Alaska. A gov ernment olticial there explains how carefully they guard against the danger of freezing to death in con sequence of allowing themselves to become too warm. On the upper Yukon the old method of moose hunting in early winter was for the Indians to go out oti snow shoes after a heavy snow fall in search of fresh trails. When one was found the swiftest runner of the party prepared himself to run down the moose. Stripped of all clothing except a shirt and ! breeches and carrying a light ehot- 1 gun loaded with ball, he started off after the animal, while the women and slower runners followed more ! leisurely. | Sometimes a moose would run eight or ten miles before being i overtaken.

Mountains Wear Them For the Univer- sitiee They Represent. High up on the Imre slope of the Wasatch mountains, immediately behind Salt Lake City, is an enor mous white capital letter “ U” that is visible froth every point in the great Salt Lake valley. It is the letter of the University of Utah. It is a hundred feet long by fifty feet wide, and is as everlasting as the mountain it rests upon, for it ie made of solid concrete. Years ago it was the custom for each of the two lower classes at the university to try to put its numerals on the hills behind the college and to prevent its rival from doing the same thing. The resulting lights lievamc so violent that the student body took steps to put an end to them. The class numerals were replaced by a great letter “U,” made by the entire stu dent body. It was of earth and was whitewashed, but the rains soon washed it away. The letter had to be made every year. In 1907 the boys decided to make a permanent letter of concrete. They raised a sum of money to buy materials, drew plans, dug the trench, intide the concrete and fash ioned the great letter. Ever since, April 111 has been set aside as “V” day. On this day all the students and many townsfolk besides climb tlie steep slope of the mountain and assemble at the “ V.” The workers arc organized before hand, and most of tlie hard task- fall to the freshmen. Quantities of lime and water ate carried up the hill, the letter is swept clean and a coat of whitewash applied. By noon j the work is completed, and the let ter stands out sharply in its new J white spring suit. Then the stu dents descend to the campus, where tlie “co-eds” serve luncheon on the lawns. The afternoon is given up to sports and dancing. Farther west, on the hills over- j looking Berkeley and San Francisco j bay, the traveler beholds another j great letter—the golden of tin- ! University \f California. In size it i is GO by .'$0 feet. It, too, is made of | concrete. It. stands 800 feet above i tide level and is colored a golden I yellow—- for the university colors j are gold and bine. This great letter has been strung with w ires, and on the occasion of an athletic victory it blazes out against the dark background of t lie night, flushing its message to all the country round.. Near Ogden, f'tatu a- great “Y” adorns a steep slope m honor of the Brigham Young college, and Livingston, Mont., gazes out on a huge white- letter ‘\L.” — Youth's Companion.
