[25] This paper was written a year ago. Mr. Mattieu Williams, in his book _Through Norway with a Knapsack_, has since confirmed my fancy that every day dies a natural death. In Scandinavia, there is a midnight sun; and Mr. Williams says that although the altitude of the sun is the same ten minutes before twelve as ten minutes after, there is a perceptible difference in atmospheric tone and colour--“the usual difference between evening and morning, sunset and sunrise; the light having a warmer tint before than after midnight.” Transcriber’s Notes Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed. This magazine uses colons in places where modern text uses semi-colons. Possible spelling and typographical errors were not changed; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced. Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs. Footnotes, originally at the bottoms of pages, have been renumbered and placed at the ends of the articles that reference them.
