Tn. Daylight of an Arctic winter.

Lieutenant Schwatka, since his re-
cent return from q successful expedi-
tion in search of the remains of Sir
John Franklin's ill-fated company,
combats the pre- vailing opinion that
the arctic winter, especially in the
highest latitudes, Is a period of total
darkness. In latitude SO deg. 20 min.
90 sec. north, the highest point ever
reached by man, there are four hours
and AZ minutes of daylight on Decem-
her 22d, the shortest day in the year
in the Northern Hemisphere. In lat
itude so deg. 81 min. north, the high
est point where white men have win
tered, there are six hours and two min
utes in the shortest day; and latitude
"a deg. 80 min. north, liz geographic
cal miles nearer the North Pole than
Markham reached, and 32S geograph-
ical miles from that point must yet be
attained before the true Plutonic zone,
or that one in which there Is no twi-
light whatever, even upon the short
est day of the year, can be said TO
have been entered by man. OF course,
about the beginning aud ending ofthls
twilight is very feeble aud easily dis
tinguished by even the slightest mists,
and Is quite appreciable on clear cold
nights, properly speaking. The North
Pole itself Is only shrouded In a Pc
riod of seventy-seven days. Suppos-
ing that blackness from November
18th to January 10Th. and the sun has
set (supposing circumpolar sea or
body of water unlimited TO visionl on
September 24th, not to rise until
March 18th for that particular point.
giving period of about so days of
uniformly varying twilight, the pole
has about lss days of continuous twi-
light daylight, 100 days of varying
twilight and II of perfect inky dark
ness (save when the moon has an
inclination) in the period ofa typical
year. During period of a little over
four days the sun shines continuously
In both the North and south Poles at
the same time, owing TO the refraction
paralaq, semi-dianetsr, and dip of
the horizon.
