FINLAND SUMMERS.
Effect Of the Famous "White Nights"
Upon Vegetation.

Effect Of the Famous "White Nights"
Upon Vegetation.
The famous white nights" Of the
north are a most surprising phenome-
non to the visitor from southern climes.
It is a weird experience, declares A.
NJ. Scott in Through Finland" to sit
for the first time upon a veranda at
midnight and read a newspaper or to
walk home from a restaurant at l
o'clock in the morning and to see peo-
pie still gossiping at the street corners
or strolling along the promenades I'M
der a bright, clear sky.
A spirit Of rest and peace is over all
the earth. The sky is bright, not with
the fiery brilliancy of noon. but with
tender, gentle radiance. The colors of
the landscape have become softened,
but not blended. There are no shad-
ows save for q week or two in June,
when the bright northern sky at mid
night projects faint, ghostlike shadows
toward the south. The sun just dips
below the horizon and no more. There
is no division between the sunset and
the dawn. The same rosy flush serves
for both.
Summer in Finland Is, in fact, one
long day. Never a star is to be seen,
and when the first faint star glimmers
in the south it is a sign that the sum
mer is past and that the autumn frosts
have arrived.
The long light has a marvellous effect
upon vegetation, forcing it's growth at
dollhouse pace. The white nights" &C
count both for the suddenness of the
burgeoning and for the intensity OF
the heat. Land and water have nc
time to cool. One cannot fail to be
struck with the enormous size Of the
foliage upon the oak and hawthorn
trees as compared to that to which we
are accustomed. Botanists have ex-
planned this as being due to the larger
supply Of light. 1t has sometimes been
suggested that we may hasten the har
vests by the use Of artificial lights
Nature herself does this for the Fin
nish farmer.

ALMOST MAGIC CURE

and the baby would soon be all right.
But instead Of getting better it was get

didn't want to do anything but scratch
and we had to wrap his hands up TO
keep him from it as he would tear the
flesh open till the blood would run. The
itching was intense. causing loss Of appe-
tite and flesh. When it seemed to hurt
him most the skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of tree so
that rubbing or brushing would not
break it. He was SO feverish that 1

could not wear any clothes but a little
