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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
