An Arctic Railroad.

An important engineering enterprise
now in progress is a railroad in the Arc
tic circle. The Swedish and Norwegian
railroad now building from Lulea, on
the Gulf Of Bothuia to Lofoten. on the
North sea, is partly situated within the
Arctic circle, and is some l21l miles
further north than any railroad in Can
ada. An interesting meteorological
fact stated in relation to this work is
that the snowfall Is found TO be actually
less than in some more southern lati-
tudes. while the darkness OF the long
winter nights las been partly compen-
stated by the light Of the aurora. The
obie in view in constructing this line
IS to tap the enormous deposits of iron
ore n the Gellivara Mountains, the ap-
proNimate exhaustion Of the ore in the
Billion district rendering very desirable
new field of non-pho-phoric ore suit
able for steel rail making.-Nsso YORK.
