In the northern district of Youkon, where the surface of the ground thaws in summer to the depth of three or four feet, as stated in the Agricultural Report for 1868, the greatest degree of cold ever known in this territory was 70 degrees below zero : — " I have seen the thermometer at noon at Fort Youkon, not in the direct rays of the sun, standing at 112 degrees, and I am informed by the commander of the post that several spirit thermometers, graduated to 120 degrees, had burst under the scor...ching sun of the Arctic midsummer, which can only be appreciated by one who has endured it. In midsummer on the upper Youkon, the only relief from the intense heat, under which veg- etation attains an almost tropical luxuriance, is the two or three hours during which the sun hovers near the northern horizon ; and the weary voyager in his canoe, blesses the transient coolness of the midnight air. Fortunate it is for our Northern States and the Canadas, that the heat of their short summers should be so decided ; for otherwise their cereals would not ripen, and a dense population of intelligent, vigorous, and enterprising men, could not be sustained there.
