No Sun Herr.

In the valley of the Lyn. near Ign

little hamlet called Middleham, where
for three months in the year the sun
is not seen.
The cluster of houses forming the
hamlet is surrounded on all sides by
hills 80 steep and high that from No
vember until February the sun does
not rise high enough to be seen over
their tops.
The first appearance Of the sun IL
eagerly looked for, and It is first seen
on February IA. the Inhabitants call It
their valentine.
II the DAY should be foggy or cloudy
so that 1t cannot be seen, there IL
great disappointment. especially
among the children. For the first few
days after the fourteenth the sun Is
only seen for very short time. but
as the sun rises higher In the heavens
the time it is in sight increases daily
until Its height is reached. when It
gradually begins to fade from view
again until in November 1t entirely
vanishes from sight for another three
months.
