London, Oct. 19-Norway is so cut and
haggled by the numerous fiords or sea,
arms which often penetrate nearly TO heI
eastern boundary, that it might perhaps
be truthfulIy said her thorougEfares are
mainly by water, and that her many and
tremendous stone roads of the mountains
and valleys are after all merely feeders to
her silent and mighty water way.
One could truly see most of Norway
without ever leaving a steamers deck.
BY keeping to the routes esta blished from
cities through the large fiords and their
almost countless lesser arms and branches,
and never leaving them on either hand
more tnan half-scOre miles, every prinCi-
pal pointof scenic interest could be gained.
And if one should set out upon a ''land
Journey from Stavanger, on the south
western coast, to Trondiem, midway to
the Lofoden Islands. it is likely that
nearly one-half Of this distance Of from
three to four hundred miles would still
necessarily be Travelled in the countless
