In the mean- fime the smoke grew into an enormous yel- lowish white fog that screened .the sur-’ rounding forests, and in the aerial patrol’s m came the roar of conflagration punc- ated by the booming of ‘falling. trees: ere the wind blew the smoke away the ‘tree top to tree top.- - After what' seemed an interminahle ~thd" patrol noted various gangs’ of ien at work. They were combatting that most 'terrifying, most ‘ungovernable and darigerous of all rebellious elements—the: forest fire. - For a day and a night and an-- other day the battle waged. Grimy men, black as the charred trunks around them, worn - to the last stages: of “exhaustion, fought on—cutting away underbrush, dy- namiting logs and trees, beating out the slinking fringes.of advancing ground-fire; shouting one to another above the cracking ‘inferno of heat and smoke, panting ‘like . hunted- animals around the water barrels where they slacked their thirst with the TELLS OF ESKIMO MELODIES 'Arctic Explorer Declares They Are Waeird and Wistful to a Degres, and Characteristic. Xnud Rasmussen and Fridtjof Nan- sen and also Hinrich Johannes Rink, ‘who was sent north years ago by Lady Franklin to find her husband, have given to the world valuable facts about the customs and lives of the Eskimos, the Detrolt News observes. Christian Leden’s .unique contribution from the arctic regions is in the field of music. For. years he studied and faithfully transcribed the Innuit melodies.
