Nature has wrought in the land of the Norsk wondrous val-. leys, mountains, glaciers, lakes and waterfalls and bequeathed them with a reckless prodigality to her legion of admiring devotees, When inland one is scarcely ever beyond the sound of rush- ing waters, Innumerable streams fed by glaciers, springs or perpetual snow fields high up in the mountain fastness rush down through boulder-strewn ra- vines and plunge with impetuous haste over many a perpendicular precipice where transformed into a cloud of spray they fall with the gentleness of a time-softened sorrow on the placid bosom of the valley below. To the man obsessed with a commercial mind alone Norway's matchless waterfalls mean just so many sources of mechanical power and it is. doubtless a matter of regret to the traveler with the soul of an artist fo note that in some cases plunging waters have already been harnessed and compelled to turn the wheels of unsightly factories that squat like ugly toads on the banks of .the broken-hearted stream. tarian's point of view the hum of ma- chinery is doubtless sweeter than the music of these unhampered crystal streams and the unsightly wooden fac- tory - rather adds to his practical eye an clement of beauty hitherto unknown to these wild gorges and unpolluted dales. 1 grant that the interpretation of nature's message is largely a matter of temperature but even to the matter of fact traveler it seems a pity to pro- fanate these master-pieces of creation with the prosaic spirit of practical modernity. With an illuminating ex- ample of the rapaciousness of com merce is the case of our Niagara Falls! It was with a deep sense of personal loss that less than a year ago I looked aver the American falls and compared the volume of water then with what it was when 1 first beheld this peerless cataract over twenty-five years ago. It was as the comparison of young man- hood,~sturdy, vigorous and powerful with decrepit age, --halting, senile, im- potent. But on account of the innum- erable Norwegian water-falls scattered over more than a hundred and twenty thousand square miles of surface Nor- way's superb cascades with the excep- tion of a few of the more accesible ex- amples may reasonably be expected to escape the ruthless hand of commerical conociagm for many years yet to come. Norway, notwithstanding its tremend ms masses of rock, is nevertheless a wooden country. This: was a matter of some surprise to me for recent re- searches have given to Scandinavia at least a hunting cud fishing population as ancient as six tb yusand years before Christ. One would therefore naturally expect to find in a land of granite moun- tains some tendéncy In all these years to use the most abumdant of all local materials in building the dwelling places ofits inhabitarits. But such is far from the truth. Norwegian houses are with' commercial iconociasm for many years of wood. I was much interested in the manner of building these dvrellings. First the logs are dressed on two sides to a uni- form size, usually from\ four to six inches: in thickness. n they are "dove tailed" at the corners so that the edges of these flattened logs rest one upon the other. In the less pretentious houses a "chinking™ of the cracks with a sort of mortar completes the con- struction of the walls, In the dwellings of the better classes, however, the out- side wall is next weatherboarded and painted the universal dark red. The in- effective interiors are produced by merely stainirig the polished logs thus effecting a Sort of rustic finish entire- ly in harmony with the spirit of the! land: Sorae very pleasing hotel inter- | iors, espevially in the country districts, have thus been treated which with the great open corner fireplace, the hand- made furniture and numerous examples of exquisite wood carving ' found on every side combine to make a harmon- ious whole at once consistent and pleas- ing. ' ! Thie forests have for centurfes prov: ed one of Norway's principal sources of wealth and though one is impressed | with the smallness of the trees--pines seldom exceeding a foot and a half in diameter--still even to-day these pine- producing mountains send forth new forests as soon as the preceeding growth has been cut down and market- ed. And so it transpires that the trav- eler in Norway constantly comes upon the saw mill and Tumberiig From the utili- | hopeless and tiresome monotony. DR.

The plates, the knives, the forks, the butter tray, the cheese stand, the bowls, the platters and pans were all made of wood. Only a pot or two and a tea kettle gave evi- dence of the advent of the iron age. And so since wood is perishable one finds little in. Norway in the way of monuments and mementoes to properly convey the country's age. Kor aught the traveler encounters the civillzation of Norway might be co-eval with that of Australia or America. There is a freshness and newness about Norwe- gian buildings that carries little of the old castle romance and legend with it and which | am frank to confess soon grows distinctly monotonous, The universal custom however, especially in the countrygdistricts of sodding the roof over with a covering of si¥ inches or more of turf forms the one picturesque building feature of the land and a peasant's home with the roof ablaze with daisies, violets and poppies often saves these country houses of the lower classes from a If an athletic goat has' succeeded i gaining these houschold heights and found the pasture to his liking the picture be comes accordingly more in keeping with the travelers idea of bucolic quaintness. But if Norway possessed no other type of natural scenery than that ex- emplified on the far famed western coast it could still claim a prominent place among the scenic countries of the world. Norway with the exception of its Eastern limitations is bounded by the sea. All but a short section. of this coast line in the South is peculiar ly rugged and picturesque. The waters are deep, the land decilivities step and slashed into numerous "gashes or chasms that extend irregularly inland in some cases for over a hundred miles Nature must have been in a fine fer- ocious frenzy when she fashioned the west coast of Norway. One can im- agine the turmoil, the seething sea, the quaking earth, the Jovelike thunder- holts that accompanied the heaving, the hissing and the rending when the forge of nature produced from chaos this bold but beautiful coast. Hurled red hot into the sea the mass of molten rock must have exploded into a million fragments, to have formed that chain of countless islands, varying in size from a mere sea-washed rock no larg- er than a fisherman's hut to areas that extend unbroken for more than two score miles. These islands, "holmes" and "skerries" form a series of land- locked sounds or leaders, between the open sea and the mainland that extend practically the whole length of the Western coast. The shores of Nor- way proper, therefore with but a few exceptions where this so-called "skjaer- gaard" or island defense is interrupt- ed for a few miles lie immersed in protected waters as smooth and unruf- fled as the placid surface of the provers bial mill pond. It is a matter there- "ore, of no surprise that this ideal yachting course early became a favor- ite cruising resort and in consequence has long been familiar with every lov- er of the milder-mooded sea. For months' one can 'sail among these Nor- wegian islands and never go over the same course twice. It is a never end- ing succession of picturesque lake-like lagoons, rugged coasts and rock-bound islands. The waters are always smooth, the -summer climate charming, the nights continually light. For the most part the islands are not susceptible of cultivation and when inhabited at all the population is mainly composed of side is sometinves plastered, but many : isher folk whose plain wooden houses only accentuate the natural barrenness of the naked rocks. And so our good ship sailed for days over the unruffied bosom of these charming lagoons through = serried ranks of never ending islands. Some- times we would land at a fishing vil- lage and spend a few hours ashore. H egg the biue eyed, rosy checked, half wifd children of the fishermen would regard us with opeén-eyed amazement 1 7 i i 2 g j T i i DE 0 O10 0 s Lf Ehiig | ill Li --0 OI 0 OEY | i 8 ; i ; = | i & 118 il i | and wonder. I always took my camera with me on these occasions and often succeeded in obtaining some character- istic photos of these isolated village people. : The fishing season varies according to the kind of fish sought. Generally speaking the desirable shoals of fish visit these shores in the winter time, cod and herring furnishing the bulk of the fish then taken. All of these fishing villages are connected - with telephone and as the shoals of fish make their appearance at given points the news is telephoned along the coast and every fisherman at once heads his boat for the tempting quarry. As. many as ten thousand fishing boats are sometimes thus brought togethér on the Norwegian coast at a givin point, pre- senting a scene as one can easily im- agine seldom if ever duplicated else where in the world. The day's catch is usually disposed of on the spot to some broker who pre- pares and ships the fish to the various markets. Even in August we saw mil- lions of fish drying on the rocks or suspended from poles and curing with- out salt in the pure fresh atmosphere. These dried "stock fish" are next press- ed by pawerful hydraulic presses into bales like cotton or hay and in this form shipped to: market. Stock fish is a very cheap variety and is sold mainly in Italy and Spain. Besides this dry fish and the vast amount shipped in barrels and casks, Norway markets an- nnally millions of "tins" of sardines and other varieties of "preserved" fish It is a marvelous industry and one of Norway's main source of wealth. It may 'be interesting to note in this connection that several centuries ago a company of Germans came to Bergen ind formed the Hanseatic leagye--one of the earliest and-one of the most powerful trusts history has ever record- ed... This fish trust became so oppres- sive and so arbitrary that 'a national revolt ensued and the over throw of the Norwegian fish trust marks one of Norways important historical epochs and might properly be used as a warn- ing to the grasping trusts of to-day. There is always a sort of grim ro mance in the life of the deep sea fisher man. These frail small fishing craft of the Norwegian coast often follow the moving fish far out to sea where storms especially in winter break without warning with unprecedented severity and oftimes disastrous consequences And so it transpires that, after the sud- den tempests the anxious wives of the fishermen congregate on the wharf and watch with a dark foreboding the re- turfi of the battered fleet. One boat after another makes harbor and joy with each safe return illuminates the face of some careworn woman. But still a handful..of weary watchers. re- main by the side of the now caressing waters. Anxiety grows to a definite premonition as the hours go by and the arrivals of the straggling boats be- come less and less frejuent. The short day wanes and the long winter night falls like a pall over the stricken village. The early dawn finds the des- perate watchers wild-eyed and frenied, scaning the distant horion for the sail with the missing number. Their rug- wed, hard-handed neighbors try to com- fort them but the hope they hold out dies on the lips even as proffered. The story is already ended. They know all to well that the belated ships will never. come back, and perhaps as the tide comes in when spring again re turns and like an angel of life quick- ens the ice-bound fields into fields of verdure, a battered spar or weather "eaten sail is cast up on the beach, the last message from the miscing ship Hut the call of the sea to these fisher folk is ever seductive and in years the widow's son now grown old or takes his father's place in the local fleet. And so the little isolated fishing village with its tales of daring, seli- sacrifice, grim romance, and tragedy vields from season to season its hap- less victims to the wrath of the waves.
