Dwight EImendoTf In Lecture Takes
Up Scientific Topic.

a trsvelogue with scientific trim
mings was given the audience at the
New National yesterday by Dwight
Elmendorf in his first lecture or Nor
way. Norway's chief characteristic is
found in the remarkable geological for
nation known as fiords The deep
ravines which extend back from the
coast for eighty and 100 miles, and are
sometimes two miles deep, while so
narrow that an ocean steamer can
with difficulty wind in and out. were.
according to Mr. Elmendorf, the result
OF an ice or glacial movement. The
water is sometimes 1000 feet deep. while
the bed Of the ocean just outside is
only 400 or see
An immense mass Of ice moving down
for ages could have cut these deep gull
lies. and when the warm water of the
Gulf Stream was reached the ice melted
and the cutting away Of the solid rock
ceased.
The coronation of King Haakon. and
one or two of the thousands of water
falls were the pictures OF chief inter
est. in addition to those descriptive Of
the fords.
Next week Mr.. EImendorf viii close
his series of lectures with the Land
Of the Midnight Sun" This season has
been Mr.. Elmendorf's most successful
one since he took the lecture platform.
