Great Feat of LocomotiOn Due to
English and Scotch Enterprise-A Noun
tain of Ore-Picturesque Scenery-Some
Curious Remarks.
A railway within the Arctic circle is now
an accomplished fact, and to Englishmen and
to Scotchmen is due this great feat of locomo-
ton which will connect the Gulf Of Bothnia
with q very high latitude on the Norwegian
coast, but with open water all the year round
on the North sea. Gellwara just now il the
center of great activity, for the Swedish and
Norwegian railway has brought the mex
haustible ores of its mountains to the shores Of
the Gulf of Bothnia, and a small feet of En-
gliSh steamers daily await the morning and
evening trains at Lulea, which bring from 400
to 500 tons Of ore, drawn by a powerful engine
of North British manufacture, whilst l0, 00Oor
1000 tons of northern coal stands piled upon
the railway quays. The Swedes in Norbotten
are not altogether friendly to this great I'M
dertaking, but the Swedish government
wisely recognize the great results which En-
glish contractors and British capital have
secured for what was practically an mac
cessible district, and where for over eighty
years the wealth of the mineral district has
been recognized, but there has been no mode
of conveyance which could bring it to the
highways of commerce.
The mountain itself is of some 800, 900 acres
In area, and wherever you turn on its face,
and even on it's summit, traces of the ore are
to be found, sometimes at the highest levels
protruding; or at the lower workings at
very few feet from the surface The railway
company are themselves working the mines
or lodes, which are situated ON different parts
Of the mountains, and from which small
tramway Lines descend to the line which for
five miles steadily aScends the mountains
from Gellwara, where even grand hotel is
being erected, and new church is already
complete, in which all nationalitieS, includ-
ing the Lapps, meet for service. Although
the railway is not yet open for passenger
traffic, permission was accorded me to Jour
ney to the mines by the courteous resident
director at Lulea, Mr.. Henry Millett, and al
though Pullman cars have not yet been
transported to these northern ATTITUDES, a
very laudable attempt had been made to
uanspose break van into a sleeping car,
where l passed two nights on my journey up
and down.
Starting from the town and port of Lulea,
which, like SO many other Swedish towns,
has been half laid low by fire, the train
skirts fcr miles the sidSId the Gulf Of Both

Count the flashes In the surf,
Count the crystals in the snow,
Or the blades across the turf,
Or the dead that sleep oelowi
These ye may count-yet not know
While sleep or while slumber-
Where my thoughts and wishes go,
What her name, and what their number.
Ask the cold and midnight sea,
Ask the silent falling frost,
Ask the grasses on the lea,
Or the mad maid, passion crost!
They may tell of potiest tosti
To the waves where blossoms blow not,
Tell Of hearts that staked and lost
But or me and mine they know not.

that KalmucE girl was very seldom caught

Entire Motive Force of the World.

From note published by the bureau Of
of statistics in Berlin the following very
interesting figures are taken:
Four-tifths Of the engines now working
IN the world have been constructed during
the last twenty-five years
France has actually 40, 500 stationary or
locomotive boilers, 1000 locomotives and
1850 boats boilers; Germany Sc. 600
boilers, 10000 locomotives and 700
ships boilers; Austria, l., 900 boilers and
1850 locomotives.
The force equivalent to the working
steam engines represents in the United
States 1900, 900 horse power, in England
1000, coo horse power, in Germany $780,
600, in France 5000, 900, in Austria |. 500
600. In these the motive power Of the
locomotives is not included, whose num-
Der in all the world amounts TO l05,0O0
and represent q total offs, 600 600 horse
power. Adding this amount to the other
figures we obtain the total of &c, 600 600
horse power.
A steam horse power is equal to three
actual horses power; living horse is
equal to seven men. The steam engines
today represent in the world approx
mately the work of q thousand millions Of
men, or more than double the working
population Of the earth, whose total pop
ulation amounts to /, 455, 923, 600 inhab-
itants. Steam, therefore, has trebled
mans working power, enabling him to
economic his physical strength while at
tending to his intellectual development.-
