The Arctic Night,

Lieut.. Schwatka, since his return from
an expedition in search of Sir John
Franklin's ill-fated company, combats
the prevalent opinion that the Arctic
winter, especially i'll the higher latitudeS
is period OF total darkness. Il lati
tude SO degrees 20 minutes 20 seconds
north-the highest point ever reached
by man-theIe are four hours and forty
two minutes Of twilight on Dec. %, the
shortest day in the year in the Northern
Hemisphere. In latitude 81 degrees %
minutes north the highest point where
white men have wintered there are six
hours and two minutes in the shortest
day; aud latitude 81 degrees 81 minutes
north, 172 geographical. miles nearer the
north pole than Markham reached, and
325 geographical miles from that point,
must yet be obtained before the true
PlGtonic zone, or that one in which there
is no twilight whatsoever, even upon the
shortest day of the year. can be said to
have been entered by man. OF course,
about the beginning and ending of this
twilight it is very feeble and easily ex-
tingushed by even the slightest mists.
but it nevertheless exists, and is quite
appreciable on clear cold days, or
nights properly speaking. The mort h
pole itself is only shrouded in pei feet
darkness from Nov. II 10 Jan 30, a peri
Cd of seventy-seyen days. Supposing
that the sun has set (supposing cir
cumpolar sea OF body of water unlimit-
ed to yisiOn) on Sept. "a, not to rise un-
til March IS for that particular point,
giving period of about fifty days of
uniformity varying twilight, the pole
has about 1SS days of continuous day
light, 100 days of varying twilight, and
seTenty-seven of perfect inky darkness
Save when the noon has a northern de-
clination) the period of a typical year.
During period of little over four
days the sun rises continuously on both
the north and south poles at the same
time, owing to refraction parallax, SEM
diameter and dip Of the horizon.
