HOW TO SEE THE WORLD. Among the valuable lessons which travelers teach, is the art of making the of thing just at the time when most wanted. traveler, especially in thinly-inhwbited or semi- barbarous countries, is perpetually put to his wits to devise 2 mode of overcoming difficulties. His food fails, his beverage fails, his fue! fails, his clothing fails—his instraments, his arms, cooking-vegsels, bis tenis, his wagons, his beasts of burden, his guides, his servants, his moaey, his health—any of these may faff/him ata pinch; and it is a part of his duty as a traveler, an almost indispensable condition of his success, to possess @ fucility of contriving make-shifts instead of sitting down hopelessly to mourn over something which és lost, or used up, or broken. To catalogue such probable make-shifts, and to supply Finte for surmount ing difficulties, are the wbjects of Mr. Galtou’s remarkable volume, lately published. It is a small book, but is stuffed full of facts; and mauy of these facts are uot only of great valu to the traveler, but are worth kuowtug by tho-e whose travels extend ouly « little way beyoud their own firesides. He treuts ia suevession o water, fire, bivouac, clothes, food, evokery, diseipline, defence, hiding-p'sees, boats and rafts, paths, carrying weights, carpentry smith’s-work, skiris and horn’, writing mate rails, riding and draught animals, saddies and harness, wagons aud vehicles, guns, trapping, fishing, medicines, presents, arcicles fur barter, and mapping implements. Itmay be interest- ing to jot down a few curiosities from this badget. hen an exhausted traveler isin want of water, the converging flight of birds, or the converging fresh tracks of animals, may often guide him to a spring or poo): it is about night- fall that desert-birds a-ually drim®, and iLe tuirsty traveler looks out for their course of flight at such atime. Ifa thirsty man strips, wud exposes his person to a shower of rain, his thirst is greatly allayed. Is ‘he has nothing to drink bat maddy water, let him tie together a good handful of grass in the form of a cone, place the large end of the cone up the stream, and the water will become partislly filtered in the act of passing through the grass. If a traveler be short of water-vessels, a ¢anvass- bag, well greased, will hold water for a con- siderable time. For striking a lightin the bush or the desert, agate is better than flint: it makts a hotter perk. Cigurfusees are not worth taken: wet spoils them. The c ailine lens of a dead animal’s cye has been sometimes used as a buruing-gias:, wherewith to obtain fire. Th: shes of a cigar rubbed into a piece of paper will quality the paper to serve as timber In the absence of wood fuel, dried suima! mature inakes an excellent subst tute. Thesame may be said of bones; the Faikiaud Islanders often cook part of the meat of a slaughtered ox by the beat of his own bon and the Russians, when in Turkey in 1829, were given to Be bones from the cemetery at Adrianople as fucl.

That sleepers find snow to bea warm bed in a bitter climate, is well known. Woven cloaks and coverlets admit the wind as through a sieve, unless the texture be close. “Itis in order to make their coverings wind- proof that shepherd lads on the hill ef Scotland, when the nights are cold, dip thier plaids in water before sitting or lying down in them: the wet swell up the fibres of the plaid, and makes the texture of it perfectly dense and clo:e.”’ The Highland poachers adopt an odd mode of “tucking’’ each other in at night: when op the moor-side on a frosty night, they cut quantities of heather, and strew part of it asa bed on the ground; then all the party lie down, side by side, excepting one mun, whose place among the rest is kept vacant for him; his business is to spread plaids upon them as they lay, and to heap up the rest of the heather upon the plaids; this being accomplished, the man wriggles and works himself into the gap that has been left for him in the midst of his com- rades. The importance of flannel next to the skin cannot be overrated: in the stati tics of ex- Peditious, it bas been found that men with ut this comfort sicken and die in greater vumber than those provided with it. Me. Parkyus, the Abyssinian traveler, adopted a very primitive mode of keeping his apparel dry at a time when he had no change of suit: he simply took off his clothes, and sat upon them in a bu. dl until the rain wasover! The following sounds oddly to stuy-at-home people:—*‘There is no denying the fact, thoazh it be not agreeable to confess it, that dirt und grease are great pro- teotors of the skin against Incl ment weather; aud that, thererore «des oi a party shou.d not be tuo exacting xbuut the appearauce of his less warmly clad followers Daily washing, if not followed by viling, must be cémpensated for by wearing clothes. Take the instance of a dog: he will sleep out under any bush, and thrive there, so long as he is not washed, groomed, and kept ciean; butif he be, he must have a kennel to lie in. A savage will never wash, unless he can grease himself afterwards —grease takes the place of clothing to him. a can afford to wash, but naked men can- not.* __ Nettles make a dish which travelers weleome if other food be scarce; when gathered quite xpuns, and boiled, they are innocuoys; aud essrs.
