The miners pay off today and the

upon her once smooth forehead, and
she went about her daily tasks not with

Amanda had recently discovered that

Days Without Nights.

Nothing strikes a stranger more
forcibly, if he visits Sweden at the
season of the year when the days are
the longest, than the absence Of
night.
Doctor Baird related some interest.
ing facts. He arrived at Stockholm
from Gottenburg, four hundred miles
distant, in the morning, and in the
afternoon went to see some friend.
He returned about midnight. when il
was as light as it is in England half
an hour before shutdown.
You could see distinctly, but all
was quiet in the street it seemed as
if the inhabitants were gone away, or
were dead. The sun, in June, goes
down at Stockholm little before 10
o'clock. There is great illumina-
ton all night, as the sun passes round
the earth toward the north pole, and
the refraction of its rays is such that
you can see to read at midnight with.
out any artificial light.
The first morning Doctor Baird
awoke in Stockholm, he was surprised
to see the sun shining into his room.
He looked at his watch and found il
was only 3 o'clock. The next time
he awoke it was D o'clock, but there
we're no persons in the street.
There is mountain at the head Of
the Gulf of Bothnia where, on the
twenty-frst of June, the sun does not
appear to 60 down at all. A steam
boat goes up from Stockholm for the
purpose Of carrying those who are
curious to witness the phenomenon.
1t occurs only one night. When the
sun reaches the horizon you can see
the whole face of it, and in FIVE minu-
ties more it begins to rise. AT the
North Cape, latitude y degrees, the
sun does not 60 down for several
weeks.
