At six o'clock in the evening the thermometer stood at 31**; it now stands at 24®. 

 The hoar frost is accumulating rapidly on the polar axis, and on the undefended 

 part of the telescope ; but the object-glass, which has not required wiping through- 

 out the night, remains perfectly transparent.
