The average storm wave Is thirty

the west coast Of Scotland, a mass OF
rock weighing five and half tons was
once hurled to height Of seventy-two
feet above the sea level, while a mass
weighing thirteen and half tons was

c. r. Berg, who is conducting Nor
wegian tourist bureau in Paris, and
who in 1908 asked an appropriation OF
1000 crowns from the Norwegian state
railways, has not been given the sum
in question. Not undaunted, however,
he has sent in request for an APP
preparation of $4,000 crowns with
which ne would purport to start a
Norwegian tourist bureau in London.
The maintenance of such a bureau
would alone cost $4,000 crowns year,

A Norwegian engineer has recently

sound takes to travel to the bottom

the exploring apparatus is lowered.
