It Is Hot In the Arctic Circle.

Mrs. Aubrey Le Blond, whose name is more familiar to mountaineers as Mrs. Main, lias been camping at Jaegersvand, by Ulfsfiord, in Lapland, and if any one imagines that a camp within t he arc tig circle is a safe refuge from the heat of an exceptionally torrid summer this lady’s experience should undeceive tliorii, for her thermometer gaylv varied from 55 to S 3 degrees in the shade during the early part of August. Close at hand, too, there is a great lake, from which clouds of mosquitoes rise perpetually, but on the other side are great peaks, glacier clad, rising in white majesty to the silent sky, a very paradise—and almost an unknown paradise—for climbers.
