At the tender age of 19 he went! adventuring in Greeland. There he spent many years, ‘to wife, starved, feasted, lived . through the long dark, hunted and ‘fished, all the while gathering scien. tific data on the side. He even went . so far as to cut off all the toes on one foot because his foot was frozen . and his toes being in a somewhat ; spoiled-condition were in the way! ' The book is graphilcally written and profusely illustrated with authentic photographs. Interesting personalities weave in aud out of the account, and what you don’t know. about Greenland and its inhabitants when you get through reading this book, would hardly be worth the telling. These are dashing adventures, gustily told, and for we stay-at-homes its a grand adventure to-read of Peter Freuchen’s Life in the Artic. Of all the books that have: been; written arouAd the amazing personality and history of Lola Montez, E. B.
