Christiania, Norway.-Noo one knows
when the first log cabin was built in
Norway, but it must have been about
1900 years at least. At first they
were window,ess, chimneyless things,
then they gradually became light and
airy, acquired chimneys and floors
and developed into one and one-half
and then into two story houses, be-
coming the homelike abodes of en-
lightened people. Their development
and transformation are easy to under
stand, thanks to the efforts of DR..
Sandvig OF Lillehammer, Norway.
Born in the country, he had from
his boyhood passion for the old
homes of peasants, and even as a
child it panied him to see them set
aside or torn down to make way for
the nondescript buildings of clap
boards which appeared in their stead.
1t became his ambition to collect be-
fore it was too late the most typical
examples of the different log cabins.

centuries people in Norway did not lie
