He Makes More Trouble in Lapland
than the Mosquito.
The sun was shining brightly through
the window of the little wooden hut as
l tun,bled out of bed on August 10, last
year. Three days tramp from the Nor
wegian coast across rough fields and
spongy boss, one long day of rowing
and shooting rapids. varied with spells
of walking round the dangerous falls,
has brought us late the night before
to this little settlement in Lapland. The
dozen inhabitants, part Swedes, part
Lapps, were already hard at work on
their scanty harvest. and beyond the
small field | caught a glimpse of the
river. here widening out into a glitter
ing lake, shining like sheet of silver,
scarcely ruffied by breath of wind.
What a morning for II bath! How glo-
riously refreshing TO travel-tired limbs!
Look outr' cried Jack. 1.-The rooms

the air was suddenly shrill with the
high pitched, hungry whistle Of the
mosquito. The window l had observed
before was tightly clesed-indeed,
would not open; the wide platform fire
place was stuffed up with green boughs.
Perhaps my brother had opened the
door too boldly. and had been lost in
admiration of the snow line mountains

was heard from us but the steady puff
puff of our lips as we filled the room
with clouds of stupefying tobacco

Sweden, or in southern countries. or
possibly in Lapland in favorable years.
or late in the season. maintain that its
terrors are much exaggerated. I have
not found 1t so. The worst accounts
that l had heard of it before l visited
the country did not come anywhere

knort. The mosquito Is a gentleman
by comparison. He fights under the
rules of civilized warfare; hostilities
are openly declared. a shrill blare of
trumpets heralds his approach. True,
he descends upon you in overpowering
hosts. but from the fierce blast when he
first sights his foe to the savage thrust
of his lance through your skin there is
nothing secret or underhand about him.
Not so the little knort In ones and
twos he creeps stealthily upon you;
there is no whistling of wings, no pa
rade of skirmishing round the victim
Quietly he works his way into your
clothing, where he seems as much at
home as any of the wingless vermin, |
which, fortunately, are comparatively
rare in Lapland. His bite is practically
painless; you rarely notice it at the
time, but on the second day 1t swells |
into a big burning wound, to rub or
chafe which is intolerable agony.-Bad.
