very old than, with thin, gray locks,
venturing a ste-p nearer, said at last:

The storm has passed. See, in the north-

Oa North Broad street, just below

and Gorman town railroad cross that
thorough far**, stands a ruined mansion
house that half a emtury agu was brave
\\iih pillared p*>rticoii and (juaintly
carv'.'d doors and window frames. It i.»
today a cheap tenement house, inhabited
by a half dozen families, and the work
of improvement has left tho entrance
door several feet below the sidewalk. In
its halcyon days this old mansion was as
many feet above its surrounding garden
as it is now b low the asphalt paved
street. It was the Imrco of Jain*/ {holds,

So many marvelous talcs have been
told of tho Norwegian maelstrom that
several writers, even of geographical
works, have pronounced it entirely
mythical. But tho whirlpool ia a reality,
amt from surveys has become well
known. It TsNorway coast to
the south of the Leffoden isleii, and runs*
between a small island called MaskeUes
and a rocky islet. iThe depth of the wa
ter in the straits is about 120 feet, while
just outride a 1,200 foot line will scarce
ly touch {jottom, and the strong currents
rushing in and out of the fiords create
not only the maelstrom, or mill stream,
but numbers of other whirlpools that
render navigation exccedii^gljr^nger-
The etraii of the maelstrom is perfect*
lyscalm.at ebb or at Hood tide, but with
the rising or the falling of tho tide, or
when r high wind is blowing or a storm
raging, the waters driven in from tho
ocean find their way out again through
tho strait with such mighty violence that
no ship can i«iis through the eddies.
There ia little downward suction, as is
corinnotily supposed, the danger being
that the vessel will become unmanage
able and bo dti von on the rocks. It Li
said that whalet. have been found in tho
vicinity with their heads completely
crushed in, having byvn caught ia tho
current and dashed against tho cliff*.
The Norwegian government has sur
veyed tho ma<li»trom and warned all
navigators against its dangers. — SL

The cornfields spread f-.r and wide,
