A Lost Colony.

The lost Norwegian colony on the east
coast of Greenland i brought to mind
by the numerous expeditions now fitting
out for Arctic explorations. Over 1000
years ago Greenland was discovered by
adventurous Norsemen, and the settle
ment OF the country dates back as far
as the wear 9s7. Two hourishing colo
mics, one from Denmark and the other
from Norway, occupied the east and
VESTS coasts respectively for a period Of
800 years, and, though separated by 50
miles Of desert, they had no trouble in
sustaining themselves independently Of
each other by means Of fishing and cat
tle-raising, the pasturage Of the hills
and valleys being in those days luxuri-
ant. The western colony had az one
time four parish churches and ITO farm
villages, while that on the east coast,
still larger, had two towns, 100 farm
villages, III parish churches and two
monasteries, and was the seat Of a bish-
opric. About 1850 the Danish colony,
having been weakened by pestiIence,
was exterminaied by Esquimaux,
= early ia the next century
It's Norwegian neighbor disappeared
suddenly and mysteriously from human
knowledge. Numerous attempts 10
learn definitely Of its fate were made,
but the only information ever obtained
was contained in a letter from Pope
Nicholas Y 70 the Bishop Of Ireland,
dated las, which stated that the colony
had been attacked BY a hostile feet 30
years before, and laid waste with fire
and sword: this story, however. was
not generally credited. In 1922 Capt.
Scoresby discovered houses containing
hunting apparatus and household uten-
sis, but no inhabitants, and there Is
reason to believe that the dwellings were
relics Of the long-lost colony. Some
people are still Of opinion that beyond
the ice fields a remnant OF these hardy
may yet be- iouad, and an ex-
officer Of the United States Navy goes
90 FAY a. to say that "the grandest UNI
dertaking Of the present age would be
10 reach that isolated colony"

The revolution To follow from the use
OF st~sam-heating from a central point
