few hundred yards Of q great glacier which.
is crawling down a mountain gorge and
from whose mouth, as from a fountain,
gushed a ceaseless stream. For ages this
mass Of Joe has been slowly moving down
from the mountains, and every day tons
upon tons melt and disappear, but its losses
at its base are made good at its top, and it
lives on like the human race, ever dying
and yet ever young.
D~isembarking at Eide we took q four
hours carriage ride, following a mountain
stream to its source, crossing the range
at an elevation OF q thousand feet and de-
scending along another stream to the lake
upon which the village OF Voss in situated.
From this. point a scenic railroad, which
passes through fifty-two tunnels in seventy
miles, took US back TO Bergen.
UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
As might be gathered from what has
already been said, Norway does not i'm
press the tourist "a a farmers paradise,
although agriculture is first among her
industries. The farms, a. seen from tbs
routes Of travel, seem very diminutive
and are usually triangular in form and
look like wedges inserted in the racks
OF the mountains.
Potatoes grow we'll in Norway n are
OF excellent favor. On the coast boats
they furnished the staple, and sometimes
almost the only vegetable. although the
bill Of fare often included seven different
! kinds Of fish, nearly as many varieties OF
cold meat, hah as many brands OF cheese
besides white, brown and black bread.
Rye, barley and wheat are grown in
the southern districts, and grass every
where. Owing TO the frequent showers
aud the long days OF summer, grass grows
very rapidly, but as 1t Ii dificult to cure II
| the people have adopted q plan which looks
peculiar to foreigners.
They build frames that look like sections
Of a fence and the green hay is hung upon
the boards or wire, as the case may be.
The lower rows are protected from the
rain by the p one, and the air has ac-
cess to all Of it.
OLE BULLS SUMMER HOME.
About three hours drive from Bergen
! the great Norwegian violinist, Ole Bull
| built a summer home where he was wont
to retire at the conclusion Of his tours and
where at last he died. He was not only a
great admirer OF American Institutions
and Of the American people in gcnera
! but he married an American. ard his daugh-
tor returns to Norway every year to cele-
brate May II, Norway's independence day,
at her fathers home and with her father
countrymen.
The daughter is one Of the MANI con-

! u Consul, Mr.. Cunningham, We had
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-09-30

the privilege Of visiting this historic spot.
We were glad 60 do 40, because Ole Bull
was not only one OF the great musicians
OF the last century. but he was one OF the
greatest democrats that Norway has pro-
duced--a dsrnoorat not In a partisan sense,
but In that broader sense in which II de-
acribeS one who believes in the people,
trusts them and labors for their welfare.
There are many public men in Norway
worthy OF mention, but space forbids an
enumeration Of them. There is, however,
Q relic OF great historic interest to which
l must devote a line.
1t 10 the Viking ship, q thousand years
old, now on exhibition at Christiania. IL
was dug up twenty-five years ago and Ia
fairly well preserved. IL gives n an idea
Of the ships used by those early seamen
Of the north whose daring exploits make
Action seem tame.
KING HAAKoN's CORONATION.
1t so happened that We arrived in Nor
way Just in time to attend the coronation
Of King HaakOn H., and We had our first
opportunity to see royalty on parade.
The new King is o son Of the King OF
Denmark, and his wife. Queen Maud, 10
q daughter OF the King Of England. When,
last year, Norway withdrew from her union
with Sweden, the crown was offered to a
son Of King Oscar, but the Offer was re-
fused, and it 10 probably not too much
to say that the Eorwegians expected it
to be refused, but they wanted to show
that the separation was not u to an
tagonism TO the reigning house.
1t was then rendered to the son OF King
Frederick and accepted. l shall speak
later of the circumstances which explain
this selection; il is sufficient at present to
say that the new king is a sober, earnest,
sensible looking young man Of about IS, and
seems to have made a very favorable inn
preston upon the Norwegian people.
BY the courtesy Of Minister Graves, who
represents our country at Stockholm, and
who, our Minister to Norway not having re-
Oeived his appointment in time, was our
nations special Ambassador to attend the
coronation, we received invitations to the
coronation ceremonies and were presented
at court. While the newspaper reports OF

which are permanent will interest a larger
number than the transient ceremonies at
aandins tho GROWING Of a new King, l
$asi! give preference 20 the most de'n-
auiahinU feature of Norway, that which
has been with her name the
midnight sun.
\ Owing To its accessibility and TO the
Fact that it's climate in moderated by the
influence OF the Gulf Stream, the coast
OF upper Norway furnishes the best oppor-
tunity which Europeans have to mount
che Arctic merry GO 'rouRd and view the
Sun through the whole nightless day. 1t 10
0 weird experience, this passing from day
Do day without intervening darkness, and
one returns from il somewhat exhausted,
Cor the light tempts him 70 encroach upon
the hours Of sleep.
The North Cape, the northermost point
on the continent OF Europe, II usually the
destination OF the tourist, but 1t Ia not
necessary to 20 so far to see all thai there
b worth seeing. There are several towns
above the Arctic Circle where for several
weaxs the sun never sinks TO the horizon.
At Bodo, which is but little more than
a days ride by boat from Trondhjem, the
sun Is visible at m dnight from May 80 TO
July II. Al Hammerfest, which is the
terninus OF some Of the steamboat lines,
and which claims TO be the northermost
town In the world. the sun does not set be-
tween May Is and July Is, while at TrOmso,
not quite 70 far north as Hammerfest, the
inhabitants have but ten days less of the
midnight sun.
We stopped at Svolvaer, one Of the chief
fishinR stations OF the Lofoden Islands,
nearly 200 miles north Of the Arctic circle.
We arrived about I in the evening, and
oven before reaching there would have
aeen the sun but for a bank Of clouds behind
which it passed at about Ii 30 on the pre-
Vious night.
s~volvaer nestIes at the foot OF some snow
crowned peaks which shut out the northern
horizon, and it is necessary to go out into
The open sea or TO climb a mountain to get
an uninterrupted view. With our usual
rood luck we found an English speaking
Norwegian who had studied in the United
states, and with him TO direct us we spent
a memorable night among the islands,.
The channel to he north, known as
Raftsund, is one Of the most picturesque
along the entire coast, and the Troldfjord ,
which leads from it through a rookbound

LONG SHOTS WITH LONG BOWS.
One OF 367 Yards Made in JuIy-But They
Did Better in Days Gone by.

Did Better in Days Gone by.
In England they still draw the long bow
in fact as we'll as in fancy. There are coun-
try parsons they seem especially addicted
to archery-who can keep four arrows in
the air at once, all timed to descend near
the centre OF a $50 yard distant target.
Flight or long distance shooting is, Of
course, a special department OF archery.
On the occasion OF the meeting at lie Tou-
quet in last July Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey,
shooting with an old Turkish bow of curl
Gus make, somewhat resembling that OF an
American split cane rod (of force equivalent
to II2 pounds), shot one OF his Turkish
fight arrows weighing about three-hfths
of an ounce) for the astonishing distance
Of Se7 yards, a. carefully measured, on a
windless day.
The previous record III its accuracy be
equally reliable) seems more remarkable
In I7O6 Mahmoud Efendi (of the Turkish
Legation in London), using a Turkish bow
still preserved at the Archer's Hall, in
Regents Park, accomplished $50 yards.
With the exception OF the Roman short
sword perhaps no weapon has accomplished
bow and cloth yard shaft, says 'BdiIv's
the wounds inflicted were always more
dangerous and hard to be cured than those
of any (unpoisoned) shot, and II wa realized
at least among English archers that
the smaller the holes made in the body the
more difficult they were TO heal; while the
barb could easily be made in such form
az to defy extraction, even by the most
skilful surgeon.
Even the bulky, slow going ball Of those
DAYS effected a much cleaner injury, and
often passed through the body OF horse
or man and was gone, while the efect OF
the cloth yard shaft, hanging and tapping
on the flank Of a wounded horse, rendered
the animal perfectly manageable.
In 1905 il il recorded that a party Of Scotch
rebels (bowmen) encountering 500 well
appointed horsemen Of the Kings did en-
gage them and kill nearly 800 Of the horses
besides staying or severely wounding
most Of the mem, a success which would
do credit TO the Mauaer rife.
But the historic carnival OF archery was
OF course, the battle OF Creoy 1880. when
the English, numerically half the strength
OF the French, reinforced as the latter
we're by those rs, 900 Genoese cross bowmen,
inflicted a defeat familiar to every school
boy.
All the carnage Of a respectable modern
campaign would scarcely strike the imagina-
ton beside the spectacle Of those thirty
thousand men at arms q eleven hum
dred princes, dukes and captains" left dead
upon that fatal field, Of wounds at which
modern surgery would shudder &ghast.

KANSAS TURKEYS.
They Are the Rest %GrasshOpper Gatherers
Ever Invented.

Machines for gathering grasshoppers
rave been invented and tried, but the most
successful g~rasshopper gatherer is the
turkey. II has the advantage of being a
very profitable one, too.
A ranchman in western Kansas raised
turkeys enough last year to keep eighty
acres free from damage by this insect pest.
Next year this ranchman intends raising
turkeys very extensively for this purpose.
and nearly all Of his neighbors are planning
to do the same.
II there were 100 turkeys to each quarter
section in this alfalfa belt there would not
be enough grasshoppers left to damage any
crops. And without considering the good
that turkeys do, turkey raising Is a profit
able industry where insect are so plentiful
After they attain the age Of 3 or I weeks,
SAYS Country Life IN America, they can
obtain their whole living in the fields and
cost the farmers nothing until late fall.
Turkey raising promises to become =
permanent Kansas industry. The grass
hopper with which the farmers have to cor
tend there IL not a migrating one. but .
native, increasing from year to year. Ih"
turkeys, however, n over large fields
and thrive on the hopPers.

that Troldfjord is a Royal Gorge with its
walls widened to a quarter OF a mile and
lpnRthened 70 a mile, and the space between

the lowest point; but they were kind to us a

that We almost missed seeing the sun at all

We were informed that an excursion
steamer had gone to the North Cape and
back In mist and rain just a few days before.
IL had occurred to US in planning our visit
TO Norway that cloudy weather had to be
taken into consideration, but we found that
clear nights are the exception rather than
the rule, especially during the latter part OF
the season.
