Norway.

Norway Is wonderful country this
land Of the Norsemen. The ocean roars
along les roekbound coast, and during
the long, dark winter the storms how
and rage, and hurl the waves in white
showers of spray against the sky. Great
swarms Of sea birds drift like snow over
the waters and circle screaming around
the lonely cliffs. The aurora borealis
flashes Ike a huge shining fan over the
northern heavens, and the stars glitter
with a keen frosty splendor. But in the
summer all this is changed. The sun
shines warmly, even within the polar
circle, wild flowers sprout forth, the
swelling rivers dance singing to the
sea, and the birches mingle their light
green foliage with the darker needles
Of the pines. Norway, with a popula-
ton Of only 100000, has played a
great role upon the arena OF the world,
founding and destroying kingdoms, but
she must now resign herself to the
fate which her numerical weakness i'm
poses upon her. All along the coast
there are excellent harbors, which are
free Of ice both winter and summer

so.called fjords-penetrate far into the
