Mr. F. Hedges Butler, the wellknown ■ traveller; describing vapour baths in Lapland, says they arc prepared by* means of a fire and stones; when Mio stones become hot, cold water is poured over them. Considerable vapour is thus generated, and tho higher, you are off. the ground the warmer it is. Twigs, of leaves are whipped by the Lapps over your body, and1 the resultant perspiration is equal ,to* what would corae from., experience of the hottest Turkish bath. A roll in the deep snow concludes tho process.
