The history of the caravels has been
published broadcast during the last
few months and has become familiar
to all. The history of the modern
Viking ship is of more recent date and
will prove somewhat more interesting
reading at this time. The ship Gokstab-
find was built about six months ago
after the design of the original ship
which was unearthed some time pre-
vious from a Norwegian mound. It
sailed some six or seven weeks ago
from Christiania under the command of
Magnus Anderson, a splendid specimen
of Morse manhood, who had q crew of
twelve of his countrymen equal in
physique and daring to himself. In
this ship, which was open to the ele-
ments and rugged in the most primitive
fashion, these hardy mariners crossed
the raging main and after many hard
ships came safely to land. completing
one of the most notable voyages ever
made to this country. Here these
worthy descendants of the ancient
''creek-men" find many countrymen
to welcome them and join with them
in the general rejoicing over their safe
arrival.

twenty-three charred and dismembered

deepest sorrow among the members of
the department throughout the city.

known to have been lost in the flames

Lasoons of the Fair.
The music came softly, sweetly out
to the old man and his daughter as they
sat, half reclining, on the luxurious
cushions of the gondola, gayly deco
rated with japanese lanterns.
The myriad of gay lights from the
cornices. from the roofs, from the
waters edge reflected in silver and gold
the ripples of the lagoon. High up
along the balcony they could see the
flaming torches, Pickering with Roman
Renaissance, and the white, ghastly
faces and dark forms of the people
looking down on the beautiful scene,
while all around the lagoon, sitting
upon the wide rail of the fence, lean
ing against the statuary, or moving
about with eager, restless tread, they
could see the thousands of sightseerA
In the distance they saw the simmer
ing, multi-colored waters and heard tho
gurgling murmur of the fountains
The stoical gondoliers dextrously
swung the gondola here and there
among the gay craft, laden to the
waters edge with merry parties of Ia

orchestral music there came to them

But whether these sharks are man
