A BIOGRAPHICAL BUG.

according to the New Orleans Times

Biographical bug! That sounds well.

symptoms and characteristics which
differentiate the biographical bug
from all the other bugs in the buzzing
realm of bugdom are not uninterest-

something grewsomely fascinating
about this particular kind of mania,
which has SO lately pulled me into its
excited and pulsing vortex. Fu1? I
never had so much fun in all my life be-
fore.
Looking at the thing now, taking
broad view of the perspective, the lit
tie amusements which crowded into
my life in the erstwhile to thrill mo
momentarily with a spasm of delight
seem dull indeed in comparison with
the newer sensations of the biograph-
lcal bug. Even the little climaxes,
when the feeling of ecstasy touched
the high water mark, are but leaden.

THE ONLY ARCTIC RAILROAD.
way and Sweden Extending
Beyond Polar Circle.

Which is the northernmost railway
In the world? 1t is not the line OF track
that struggles up from Skagway over
the bleak White pass, nor is it even
that less famous Wild Goose line,
which is the pride of the Cape Nome
mining camp, for both OF these roads
lie wholly within the north temperate
zone, says Youths Companion. In
Scandinavia there is solidly built
well-equipped modern railroad, the
most northern station OF which Is l3o
miles above the polar circle, while
more than 200 miles Of track lie within
the north frigid zone.
Appropriately named the Arctic rail-
way, it runs from the Swedish town OF
Lulea. near the head of the Gulf OF
Bothnia, to the newly built port OF
Victoria Haven, on the Ofoten Flord In
Norway. Like the Alaskan roads, II
owes its existence to important mines
mines of iron, however, and not OF
gold.
The iron deposits of Swedish Lap
land are among the largest and most
valuab BILE in the world. Their ore is par
ticularly useful in the making of steel,
and the great German and Englisn
blast-furnaces depend almost wholly
upon them. For some years railroad
has been in operation between the
mines at Gellivara and the port OF
Lulea; but as the shallow Gulf OF Both
MIA is frozen over during half the year,
the shipment of ore has been carried
on at great disadvantage
With the extension of the road
across the mountains into Norway, all
this is changed. Ofoten Fiord is very
deep, and perfectly free from ice all
the year round.
Fine large docks have been built at
Victoria Haven, from which steamers
may sail in winter as well as in sum-
mer.
About so miles north of the busting
mining town of Gellivara, the new rail
road passes, at Kirunavara, remark
able mountain of iron, sure to become
. famous source of supply.
1t is 700 feet high and seven miles in
length, and is .olidly composed OF mag
netic iron ore. Engineers estimate
that it contains 2,50O.0oO tons of it,
which it will take at least century
to remove. Mining has not yet begun
but the site of the future town which
is to spring up out of the wilderness is
already determined.
Although the iron mines are the
commercial justification for the Arc
tic railroad. it is expected that no small
part of its receipts, in summer at least
will be derived from tourists. Itopen'

NEW YORK HOSPITAL SUED.
Woman Burned Through Carelessness
Of Nurse-Husband Asks 100000.

New York, July 27.-Suit has been
brought in the Supreme Court by John
II. calder, through William T. NC
Grathe, lawyer, against the General
Memorial hospital, to recover Sloo,V'o
damages for the death of his wife, Mrs.
Madeline Calder, who died In the
bospital as a result Of burns received
while a patient in the institution.
Mrs. Calder was being prepared lot
an operation by one of the hospital
nurses. and was being rubbed with
mixture Of alcohol and ether. The
nurse. 1t Is alleged, disobeyed one or
the rules of the hospital in using
lighted candle, instead OF performing
the duties by the aid of the ciectr!c
light. The candle was placed In small
glass. which she set down on the bed
n unset and set fire to the bedciothes.
Mrs. Calder endeavored to throw her
self out of the blazing bed, but 1t was
too late, and she died short tune
afterward, after suffering excruciatins
agony. An inquest was held before
coroner's jury, which returned YER
dict that Mrs. Calder died from the er-
feet of burns received while patient

$1,000 FOR A FLEA.
But II Must Be One Taken From an
Arctic Fox.

London, July 27.-There is one form
of Arctic exploration little known to
the general public. The history of ia
nous Polar expeditions, the trials OF
the gallant explorers, and the large
sums expended in fitting out and main
tanning vessels is news familiar 20 ALL
but the hunt for the Polar flea IS not
so well known as it deserves to be.
More than a year ago the Hon.
Charles Rothschild commissioned tire
Arctic sailing whaler Forget Me-Not
to hunt for the Polar flea. The hunt
was apparently futile, for Mr.. Roths-
child now offers reward, according to
the Daily Express. of $1,000 for the
Arctic fox flea, to add to the collection
of those insects in the famous 70
illogical museum in Tring Park, where
already there are thousands Of fleas
which have been obtained from brds
and beasts in all parts of the world. IT
seems that the flea of the Arctic fox Is
to flea fanciers what the egg of the
great aux is to collectors of birds
eggs, for only two perfect specimens
are known to exist in the collections.
In addition to the reward referred TO,
Mr.. Rothschild has again fitted out the
Forget Me-Not, which is already at
work looking for the Iea.
