winding roadway. The view that presented
itself from the summit was truly magnificent
In the distance could be seen several snow
capped mountains. To describe all l saw
from that elevated position would be quite
beyond my powers.
OF course, after making such an ascent,
there was corresponding descent to be ef-
fected, and never will be forgotten the pleas

through the bracing Norwegian air continual

over these mountains; for, with the brake
well applied, there was ample opportunity
to observe the beauties of the scenery
just picture to yourself calmly leaving the
top Of high mountain clothed with fir-trees
or lake expanding distinctly without wave
or ripple to the feet of the blue mountains.
A few boats are Just perceptible, rocking idly
by the shore. The scene is as silent as the
grave. 1t needs very little to fancy yourself
in new world, realizing your chidhood's
conception of fairyland.
Passing numerous lakes and waterfalls
reached the posting ghouse at Reien
A large number of peasants from the neigh
boring farms collected the next morning to
prise at the machine and the pase ! was en-
abled to attain on it.
The roads improved the further / proceed
ed As there are no railways across Norway,
it is essential that the highways should be
kept in good condition, the travelling being
carried on entirely by carrioles and steam
boats The roads are made by the govern
ment, and the peasants through whose farms
they pass are bound by law to keep them in
repair.
A stranger will wonder at the numerous
small posts along the roadside bearing an in
scription rather puzzling, they often, being
mistaken for mile-posts. These are merely
to indicate the limits of the land between
which the proprietor is liable to keep the
road in good order.
It takes some time to get accustomed to
the Scandinavian mileage. Roughly speaking,
one Swedish mile equals six English, while
one Norwegian equals seven English.
Quitting Oilo, where tasted reindeer-hesh

on the late rains. 1 became hemmed in by
huge mountains The prospect was as wild as
could be imagined Masses of solid gray rock
rose almost perpendicularly from the water
on every side. One would scarcely believe
roadway could be constructed through these
rocky regions.

Winding in and about, l reached a path
that had been made with infinite labor and
difficulty chiseled along the brow of dark
frowning ,precipiee called the Kvamsklev ira

meet In the narrowest turninos.
There was one spot where had to pass
hewn out of the solid rock, covered by a
ments that often in wet weather become dis
lodged Several cataracts poured across the
defile, wetting me with their spray as passed
underneath.
On the opposite side of the lake were dot

slopes that they seemed almost inaccessible to
human beings.
AT Skogstad, a comfortable little station
about 2000 freet above the sea level, / quarter
ed for the night, and arranged the next day to
make the ascent of a portion of the Jotun-
helm Mountains on foot
Being now in the heart of the mountains,
the post-road gradually assumed a hilly ma.
ture. Many of the gradients were so steep
and dangerous that to ride them on bicycle
was out OF the question.
Following out the instructions of mine host
of Skogstad, l left the main road, and com.
menced to descend to distant valley, which
it was necessary to cross before ascending the
Jotunheim.
1t would take too much time and paper
to describe the numerous obstacles and diff
culties that beset me in efecting this; suf-
fee it to say, after fordng mountain torrents
and rivers, and an arduous piece of mountain
climbing I succeeded in reaching a saeter, or
dairyhut, where / lodged the steed, and then
proceeded ON foot. 1t was rough work, but
those who have experienced mountain climb
ing will know the pleasurable sensation Of
jumping from crag to crag, across fssure and
bog, through torrent and brushwood.
1t must have been about two hours after
starting when 1 reached a large lake, with
no sign of human habitation about save a
small log-hut which contained boat The
mountains surrounding the lake were covered
with snow; in fact, for some time before
reaching this point | had tramped through
numerous deep patches. After spending some
time in these cold, desolate regions, retraced
nv steps, and commenced a speedy descent,
but before covering half the distance heavy
storm overlook me- and arrived at the saeter
wet to the skin, tired hungry and cold

The ebb returns with prodigious force, ano
when ITS motion is opposed by high winds, tne
struggling blllows mount into the air, and
precipitate themselves into cataracts, or whirl
into eddies, whose powerful suction draws
down fish, boats, timber, ETC., to the bottom

their small boats without fear of danger.

some distance were wretched, but gradually
improved, and in few hours | emerged upon
some lovely scenery.
Leaving behind me to the left the fine
Kristania Fjord, studded with countless ISL
ands crossed a mountain that occupied the
remainder of the day to ascend and descend.
The surface was good, though the gradient
steep, but the toll entailed in riding it was
amply compensated at The summit by magnif-
cent views OF Cne hlngef1ke district, with the
picturesque Holsfjord Lake in the distance,
surrounded by pine-clothed mountains.
The descent to Sundvolden can all be rid

Next day l rode through some delightful
