ARCTIC WEATHER TICKLE.
Sudden Change Delays Work on
Hangar at Kings Bay
BY RUSSELL ID, OWEN
BY Wireless to The Star.


BY Wireless to The Star
KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, April 80.
This is the most tickle weather in
the world. The storm is gone but
Spring is still far behind. Two DAYS
ago Lincoln Ellsworth was sure Spring
was here. He found the rivers melt
ing and threatened to go out and pick
bunch of daisies for the table. but,
alas, yesterday morning it was de-
grees below zero, and the unlucky
ones who let their stove so out tucked
their three blankets about them and
shivered through the early morning
hours.
To get more coal one must dress, go
down stairs and shovel it out of the
snow. an appalling sacrifice for
warmth. Snow piled in long windrows
made up of tiny round balls like
hominy, scooped out in strange shapes
and giistening in the sun.
But what a contrast Wednesday,,
1t was easy then to imagine ones self
at so latitude north. But what can ice
and snow do to camoufiaGe a locomo-
tive whistle Nothing smacks more of
civilization. Yesterday morning the
petulant tOot of the tin four wheeled
mining engine, skidding away over the
icy rails, evoked startled screams. EThe

trench dug for it so laboriously during
four days was filled again with snow
Nand the wheels hit the snow and went
round and round. The smoke puffed
up in quick pants from the tiny stack
as the Kings Bay fast freight came
to a quick and ignominious halt. The
little engine snorted, wheezed and did
its best, but it retired again to it's
roundhouse until the tracks were
better cleared.
No Fare Is Charged.
On this northernmost railroad in
the world-everything is northernmost
here. the same latitude as Etah.
Greenland. which is only hole in the
ground-no fare is charged, and one
may jump on the freight at any time
and ride all day. 1t will be several
days before the railroad is running in
order, which is severe disappoint-
ment, as 1t was relied on to transport
all the heavy materials to the Norge's
hangar
The storm not only prevented work
for a day, but by filling what was
previously done, has caused further
delay. To dig a trench to feet deep
mile long is a terrific task, as it is
not sheltered from the wind.
The storm Wednesday brought the
drift ice back into the bay, and all
