DEAD CITY OF THE BALTIC.
Visby in Gotland, Which Was Once a
Famous Center of Trade.
Temple Bar.

Its silent grass-grOWn streeLs and the black
| ened ruins OF its once stately churches suggest
mOulnful retlospect. Yet the Visby OF to-day
merits more attention than ii obtains from
! visitors TO Sweden and The Baltic. Its once
! fabulous wealth has departed from il. The
housewives no longer, as In the old tradition,
use golden spindleS, nor do the hogs eat from
silver trOughS; while of The eighteen churches
OF which the town once bOasted seventeen lie
in irretrlevable ruin, wrecked, il would seem,
rather by the ruthlessnesS OF man than by the
raVages of lime.
Still Visby, even in ruins-we may say in
deed, because of its ruins and the associations
that cling to them-is full of interest. It's early
prosperity was largely due to the convenient
position of G0tland in the Baltic, midway be-
| tween the Swedish and Russian coasts. Uutil
the Cape of Good Hope were established most
OF the commerce with the East pass. through
Russia, and Vlsby a place of call became so
pl lomnent IS 10 gain the name Queen of The
Baltic" or the Eye of the Baltic" Old chrOni-
clers assert that even Solomon in all his glory
was poorer in gold and silver and precious
stones than was this small city.
Visby one, of the first TO be enrolled
among the Hanse towns and took leading part
in the famous league. Its maritime code has
served model for most of the Europe an
navigation laws. From the first the Eye" of
the Baltic was mainly directed to business. Its
prosperity received royal recognition when
Henry III allowed the merchants of Co land
the privilege of free trade regarded pur-
chase and traffic in England The enterprise
of the traders enabled hem TO secure double
profit.
They betoOk themselves. with other re eLresen-
tatiYeS of the league, TO London. and eStab-
lshed, clcse 10 Thames street a house called
tile S .rlyard, which fOutshed for Il ward OF
three centuries. Meanwhile the population in
creased rapidly in Visby, and the variety of
religions called for he erection of numerous
churches ana religious buildings. Charitable
guilds and hospitals were also established.
The monks, after their won, helped 10 bralrtlfy
th town by planting walnut, ee,nut, lime aud
mulberry trees. some of which still thrive. But
the chief charm of Visby lies in its gray walls
which, as specimen OF ancient f0rtifieatiUn,
are almost unique.
Gotland, in The old days, was a prosperous
and important center; but little remains OF its
former gieaIuess. The sole existing trace OF
former INDEPENDENCE is a standing army, which
belongs exclusively 10 the islano, ana can only
be employed IN Its defense. Every Gotlander
from The age OF 8 10 tDat OF so or 50, may be
called upon to serve. The active services of
the army are unlikely To be called upon. Yet
OF so much Importance Is the island from lis
geographical position and natural defense, that
from a strategic pOInt of vi-w It might readily
be made paddock npOu The cuffs of Finland
and Boihnia. 1t has even been declared that
by means OF Gotland the Russian navy could
be locked up and the navigation Of the Baltic
commanded.
