No nation has bothered to claim it, no laws gov- ern it, no inhabit it. When, therefore, we lowered the boats in Gireen Harbor at the head of leo Fjord, and were rowed ashore we ex- periencod the unigue sensation of treading an unclaimed country. While in no man's land we were responsible to no government, and whatever might be our offense no local laws existed to mete out. justice, 'and no extradition | treaty stood ready to deliver us to the conrts of other Ronds. As a result of this vinusual condition speculation as to the manner of handling possible of? fenders guilty of crimes committed in this virgin territory became rife and various eonclusions were reached. ut 48 no test cases seemed likely to occur the matter was left in statu quo, and we at once sel out to ex- plore the immediate vicinity of Green Harbor. Why the name "Green- Har hor', 'over happened to christen this Phleak ice-bound bay is not quite ap- parent. Yet after all, evervthing goes by comparison, and in Lhis sense this sheltered haven with shores at least comparatively free from snow in the immediate neighborlfood is, 1 suppose, more nearly green than the frozen hills ly which it is surrounded, At the time of our going ashore--I have for gotten whether it was high noon oi midnight, 'since all outward signs at the two twelves in the twenty-four liours wore exactly the same--it. was a beautiful day or, it may have been night, At amy rate the ravs of the sun--midnight or noon---fell pleasantly shout Green Harbor, and we found the sparkling air' not too cold, agresable, to be A Whaling station Visited. There was one feature, however, © Green Harbor that in this particular district proved wt the same time both interesting amd vépellent. Now a whatt ing station on the one hand appeals to the adventurous spirit of every boy-- and gince men are only boys with a veneer of civilizalion--it appealed to ug. But on the other hand a whaling station in full blast is as offensive to the olfactory nerves as a pig is to a Mohammedan. Five whales lay half stranded on the beach, and two others! were on "the ways" undergoing the "eutting in" process. Great iron vats were redolent of huge chunks of beil- ing blubber, while hundreds of barrels 5 le Wites ta the Whig About His Tour i Norway and Elsewhere.

In fancy I can see the play of the aurora borealis above the frost-riven rocks, and discern by the prismatic rays of the northern light the cold gleaming glacier © and the far-stretch: ing fields of eternal snow.

The great steel tower was braced by scores of metal guys that in turn were faston- od to anchor' pins deep driven into the earth, for the wimter winds even in the sheltered cove of Green harbor are sippoded to be terrifie. Alongside the tower, and nearly com- pheted, stood the combination office, living and battery house. This build ing was a marvel of cobstruetion, ex- hibiting walls more than three feet thiek composed in order of timber, tar paper, felt and asbestos. Over the roof and around each of the four corners heavy iron cables were passed and made fast, after which they extended to the ground and were anchoved in buried foundations of rock and cement.

Une naturally asks, "What purpose can a wireless telegraph station but » few degrees from the polar ice serve and what prompted the Norwegian overnment to invest in the project ¥"' n at dirst thought it seems a needless waste of money, and even upon maturer reflection we fail to find] any very convincing argument for its establishment and maintenance. The government's excuse, however, for such an expensive experiment is found . ind the explanation of the overseer whom I interviewed. ' The Overseer's Story, Said he © "First apd most important of all is the value the station is hoped to prove in predicting those severe northern storms that especially in win ter sweep unheralded down the Nor wegian coast and work tremendous damage to Norway's shipping. Our fishing, as' you know, is done mainly in winter, and thousands of fishing crait frequent the western coast to fol- low. the one means of support to vast numbers of our people. Hl, by means of this Arctic station we can give due wathing of a destructive storm, the goverment, if for no other reason, would be justified in 'the investment.

In the fast gather ing gloom I can imagine the scenes of home and loved ones conjured up in the tottering brain of the castaway.

How Victoria Proposed. The English rule has ever been that a reigning queen must be the one to make all matrimonial advances. Queen Victoria has herself told how she managed to "put the RQestion" to Prince Albert. She showed hifh all over Windsor, pointed out its trea- sures, indicated the beauties of the surrounding landscape, and then said coyly : "All this may be yours, Albert." As with the queen, so with her descendants. Princess "Louise took a rather crude way of proposing to the present Duke of Argyle, then Mamuis of Lorne. Being about to attend ga state ball, she gave it out that she would choose as her partner for the first dance the man whom she intend: ed to honor with her hal, She se lected the martjuis. He took the hint and became her husband, The Princess Louise Victoria show ed more finesse in her wooiny of the Duke of Fife. She conducted her all unconscious intended to her bureau, opened a drawer and displayed its contents. Theve he discovered an number of things which he had given her st dif ferent times. Among them were the sprigs of several kinds of flowers, now dead, that he had picked for her at intervals. He was dedply impressed at the sight. Nor did 'it reqjinre words on her part to make her meaning plain. In less than a year she was Duchess of Fife.

IN NORTH-EAST VISTER OVER HOME RULE BILL, To Pass Bill Would Convert Eng. land's Best Friends Into Relent. less and Implacable Enemies, A special correspondent London Times thus writes aftitede of Ulster towards rule: of of the the home Even should the government achieve the feat which almost all Irish union ists, and many Irishmen who are mot unionists, - believe to be impossible, and produce a home rule bill which Mr. Redmond, with whatever reserves, dare accept as adequate, and which ministers and thar supporters in the house of commons, dare force upon the British people as politically safe and 'as finahdally reasonpble--even should a patiomalist convesiion unan: imously adopt the nfeasure, and should nationalist opinion outside unanimously and enthusiastically sanction it; there would still remain the obstacle presented by the sullen, determived and insuperable opposition of Protestant Ulster. To that oppo: sition talk and assurances and statu tory safeguards are spent hredth and waste paper. It is ope of the hard facts of the situation in Ifeland--not to be disposed of by the flippant jests of the chief secretary or by the con ditional menaces of the ministérial. ists. It lias grown, and is growing, as the introduction of the home , rule bill draws near. Feeling is already more bitter northeast Ulster than it has been at any time since tho rejection A. the st home ruls bill, and measures have been concerted, and are = being steadily taken, to carry out, should need arise, the policy laid down, in Sir Edward Carson's speeches.
