NORTHERN LIGHTS.
How Nature Displays Herself in All Hei
Grandeur In Arctic Lands.

How Nature Displays Herself In All Her
Grandeur In Arctic Lands.
Auroras are most frequently seen In
the cold and in the northern temperate
zone, rarely in the southern temperate
zone, and hardly ever in the tropics
The places where they most frequently
appear lie between the sixtieth and
SEVENTEEN degrees of north latitude.
In the form of an oval, they include this
geographical as well as the magnetic
north pole, which is to be found on the
peninsula Boothia Felix, Iceland, the
Kara Sea, Northern Siberia, Behrins
Strait, Hudson Bay, Labrador and
Greenland. Northern lights have beer
seen as far down as the twenty-fifth de-
gree of north latitude. In full splendor
however. they may be seen only in the
northern polar region to the seventy-fiftb
degree of latitude. Here Nature Is
displayed in all her grandeur. When
the sun has set, and the gray veil OF
twilight is cast over the earth,
the northern horizon grows darker
and darker. Soon there may be dis
tinguished a segment of the sky more
somber than its background; this is
hemmed in by white concentrlc arcs OF
light Coiored rays shoot forth there
from in all directions. They interlace
and intertwine until they seem to be
woven into one futtering band of color.
And anon it changes to sea of fret
The rays leap upward far above the
zenith, form there flaming crown, and
then sink back, to begin anew the won
drous play. The most beautiful de-
scriptions and trustworthy observations
we owe TO Nordenskjold and Ekama.
All explanations which have been at
tempted as to the origin and cause of
northern lights are based on analysis by
the spectroscope, on the determination
of the eiey alton, and on observations of
the peculiar behavior of the magnetic
needle. = Wilhelm Stosz, in Popular
Science Monthly.

up almost in a day. Great railway systems
have been extended, rich and vast deposits
of iron and coal uncovered and worked, and
new and immense industries established.
