AURORA AND 20 BELOW ZERO
Winter Day on the Yukon Is Only
Four Hours Long.

During the winter months the aurora on
the Yukon is very brilliant and intensely
beautiful. 1t commences early in the fall,
and lasts. with more or less brilliancy,
throughout the long Arctic winter. 1t gen.
orally begins upon The setting Of the sun
although in mid-winter 1t has sometimes
been so bright that 1t visible at noon,
while the sun was shining brightly. The
rays Of the light first shoot forth with
quick, quiveriug motion, are then gathered
and form great arch of fire spanning the
heavens. 1t glows for instant like girdle
Of FURNISHED gold, then, unfolding, great cur
tains Of light drop forth, says the Alaska
News.
These royal mantles Of bright orange, green,
pink. rose. yellow and crimson are suspended
end waved between heaven and earth with
an invisible hand. The rapid gyrations and
scntillations Of light and blending colors
are intensely bewildering and superbly beau
tiful. The whole phenomena of waving
wreaths, pickering flames, rays, curtains,
fringes, bands and flashing colors. the strange
confusion of light and motion, now high in
the heavens then dropping like curtains of
gold and silver lace sparkling with a wealth
Of rubies. sapphires. emeralds and diamonds,
penetrating dark gulches and dartlng through
somber green forests. lighting the whole land
soape as with thousand electric lamps,
forms picture of which words can convey
but very poor Idea.
This unwarming light, as IL flashes along
the frozen rivers, the great banks OF snow,
and reveals the huge mountains of glistening
ice and black lines Of fir. indeed, is of the.
purest Arctic cast, and causes one to button
his coat closer over his chest, and with
shiver he is glad to seek light Of less
brilliancy, but one of life-gving warmth.
At the breaking up of winter the hours of
sunshine are rapidly increasing, and continue
so until midsummer when the sun beams
forth twenty two hours out Of the twenty
four. while on the high mountain peaks 1t is
for period of several days in June not en-
tirely out of sight during the twenty-fcur
hours. During the months of July and August
the weather becomes very warm. and even
hot, aad miners are glad to seek shady
retreat in which to do their labor.
After this period the hours Of sunshine
gradually decrease, until, during the snort
est days, the sun shines but four hours cat
OF the twenty-four. But at this period the
aurora is very intense, and helps very MAJ
terially in driving darkness from that dreaTy
land The thermometer registers 20 degrees
below zero in winter, but the atmosphere is
very dry and consequently the cold is not
so perceptible as one would imagine.

HILL CABLE, PROJECT.
Urged on the House Committee for

day by the house committee on COM

by Gen. Wager Swayne in behalf of

Jersey, in which he is associated, with

and other capitalists. Gen. SWayne
urged the house committee to recon-
mend the senate BILL which author
lied the postmaster general to contra CT
for cable from the Pacific coast to
Japan by way of the Hawaiian islands,
with an annual subsidyssnot exceeding
$4,000. The BILL as reported to the
house. provided for a subsidy of 500 600
year to the Pacific Gable company, of
New York, in which J. PierpOnt Nor
gan is interested. The recent colonial
conference, which decided upon the
project of a British cable from Van
cOuVer to Japan, by way of Australia
and Honolulu, Gen. Swayne said, en-
dangered the success of an American
enterprise unless immediate steps were
to be taken by congress. He urged
the house to adopt a plan which would
insure competition for the subsidy, be-
lieving that the bill giving q subsidy
to particular company would succeed,
while it was known that other re-
sponsible parties desired to bid.
That part of the project of the New
York company, which cCntemplateS a
