BOON FOR TOURIST
TRAVEL NOW MADE POSSIBLE IN
LAPLAND.
New Luxury Supplied During the
Three Summer Months-only Rail-
road in the Polar Circle
Built to Carry One.

A new itinerary is offered to the
bored globe trotter. 1t is now pos
size for him to travel in Lapland,
the land of the midnight sun, in a
sleeping car. This luxury, however,
is supplied only during the three
summer months when tourists may
be enticed to cross the polar circle
and travel for 27O miles on the only
arctic railroad yet built.
This is the railroad that was
first pushed north of the arctic cir
Gle to carry the iron ore of Gelli-
vara down to the Baltic for ship
ment to Germany and England. A
million tons of ore is hauled down
to the port of Lulea every year, and
much of it is stored there in win
ter awaiting the steamers that
come when navigation opens.
Within few years the polar road
has been extended 200 miles west
of the Atlantic, where the ice free
port of Narvik has been built.
All passenger trains on one of the
lines to the City of Mexico stop at
a monument near the track, on
which is inscribed in Spanish The
Tropic of Cancer" Everybody gets
out to see what the tropic looks like
So trains on this arctic railroad
halt in the middle of a peat. bog,
where a board stands erect bear
ing the word "Poleirkeln." The sur
roundings of the polar circle at the
point where tourists see them are
quite disappointing.
But there is much worth seeing
at the thriving town of Gellivara,
and on the mountain near the town
the midnight sun is visible from June
5 to July II, or for 81 nights. 1t is
the boast of the people of Gellevara
that the midnight sun may be seen
from their town for longer time
than at any other reasonably acces-
sible spot on the earth.
This is doubtless true. The polar
circle has about the same position
relative to Gellivara that it has to
the Endicott mountains in Alaska,
but the railroad makes it much
easier to reach this Lapland town
than any other spot where the mid
night sun may be seen to equal ad-
vantage.
The most remarkable object that
the traveller sees on the trip to the
Atlantic is Mount Kirunavara, 1850
feet high and nearly two miles long.
About 70 per cent by weight of it's
rock is iron.
In time the whole mountain will
be dug away and there will be q
very deep hole where it now stands,
for it is all the richest kind of
iron ore; and there is estimated
to be about 233,0O0,0O0 tons of it.
The big mining town of Kiruna has
grown up beside the iron mountain
and six long trains every work day
carry the ore to Narvik.
Across the Lapland moors the
scenery is monotonous, but it is Of
the finest character among the noun
tains and waterfalls of Norway as
the train approaches the Atlantic,
and few sights in Europe surpass that
which is presented when Narvik, on
the great Ofoten ford, suddenly bursts
into view and the swelling sails on the
broad channel are seen thousand
feet below the railroad.

Kiss Spoiled Divorce.

One long Olga Nethersolic oscula-
tion such as John used to make, was
too much for Mrs. Wenning of West
Berwick, Pa, recently. She was just
about to leave John-in fact, they had
concluded to part, and had divided the
household goods and money and had
everything arranged to quit the do
mestic fireside. And then because she
didn't want to make the parting en-
tirely unromantic, Mrs. Wenning de-
cided she would kiss John farewell
John agreed. And right there came
the trouble with this separation. John
kissed and held 1t so long that Mrs.
Wenning just couldn't break away.
1t was like one of those honeymoon
kisses which Mrs. Wenning still re-
membered and suddenly she threw up
her hands and had relapse. Now
they've made up. John Wenning ought
to be hired as an adjunct to some di.
Yorce court.
