c NORWAY. JrVom the London Saturday Review. Goethe said well, that tha "bumdlflM arth" meant to Ilomer soinethirjg very dif ferent from that whloh it means to as. When ytt read the words, they glide from oar lips ai ft mere poetio phrase; but to him the earth was really something infinite, mysterious, ooeqnal with the heavens, not to be measured or known by men. Nowadays, the earth ceems to most of ns ft very moderate alUir, as far as magnitude ia oonoerned. That amia ble writer, Mr. Helps, feels its Insignificance o keenly that he oannot contain his wonder that any one should care to be famous, when his fame mast necessarily be confined to sack ft speck in the universe. We take an eight-inch globe in our hands, and think that, compared with infinity, there is not muoh odds between eight inches and eiRlit thousand miles. We turn it over, and pass from one quarter to another Europe, Asia, Africa, Aoierioa, Australia, the different ooeaus, in succession. How many countries are there whioh, with an adequate expenditure of money, we oould not manage to see in half a year f Uow many of which we could not in an hour or two gain a very tolerable notion by having recourse to the nearest library f Nevertheless, to people who have thrown aside their books of geography and travel, who hae even got to the end of lineB of railway, and betaken themselves to tbeir own feet, or to some other conveyance of not extravagant speed, it does sometimes occur that the earth is, after all, of rather a decent size. Hut the effeot differs very greatly according to the country in whloh a man s journey lies. For instance, the Swiss tourist is likely rather to underrate the earth's mag nitude. Perched on the top of the Jangfrau or Monte Koaa, or even on the Faulhorn or the Bchllthorn, and really from these elevations eeeiDg a not quite inappreciable portion of the surface ot the globe, he is inclined to think that he sees even more than he does and moreover he in some degree uncon-" eoioualy attributes to himself the command ing altitude of his standing-ground. And though Switzerland does oTten impress upon a man the feeling of his own diminutiveness, yet it is his diminutiveness as compared with the mountain masses around him, while he does not at all appreciate how small these moun tain masses themselves are when compared with the entire world. Ou the other hand, a large plain, or the ooean, from its sameness of aspect and want of salient points, always appears in the recollection much smaller than it really is; so that from neither of these is aay one likely to be impressed with a, strong ilea of the extent of our glo'-ie. But any man who really wished to gtfu something of the Homeric feeliag we woald send to each a country S.'orway a couutry in which the features are large enough to reduce the spectator to insignifioanoe, and yet not so large bat that they give a hint of unknown trauia behind, greater than them Belves; a country where tue for3t and desolate Bnow-field in their vast ranges hem ia tha traveller, sometimes shotviug tuir skirts, Bometimes altogether nnseeu, never to bs comprehended at one glance, yet, just because they cannot be so comprehended, impressing the imagination more vividly with the sense ot an unknown mypteriousness. Of all the differences between IS' or way and the Alps (and two mountainous countries could hardly be more unlike) this is perhaps the greatest. In Switzerland there is great sublimity, but very little mystery; on the contrary, the interest of the country is much increased by the number of definite - historio asso ciations connected with every part of it, whioh, proving as they do how anciently and Widely celebrated a country it is, exolude tie feeling of the undnown. The ancient castles and quaint meducval towns; the memory of great generals who have carried their armies over the rooky and onoe dangerous passes, and thuB formed turning points in the world's history, from the time of llannibal to that of Napoleon; the thought of Tell on the Lake of Uii, and of Byron and Rousseau by that of Geneva all these things remind us that man here has not unsuccessfully contended wnu. nature; they diminish somewhat that feeling of awe which comes upon us when we stand consciously in the presence of a superior power. Bat in Norway nature has it all her own way. Take, for instance, the first stage from Dombaas on the way to Molde. There is nothing here that woald be called first-rate in the way of scenery, and a traveller who had come up from the magnificent valley of Rouaa dal might even tb'.DH it dall. The road from Dombaas descends a steep hill through a pine wood, crosses a roaring rocky stream at the bottom, and then ascends another hill, from which there is a wide view over the main coarse of the river and the glens that ran into it. The coloring is sombre, but not poor; the whole area below, the slopes of the hills, and the distant glens are covered with inni merable pines, while above the pines are dark moors terminating in the distant snow-fields. You feel what a solitude it is: not that there may not be a house or two in view, for indeed , all the houses in Norway cl aster round the great roads; but apart from the road there is no sign nor traoe of a habitation. The size of the rivers, again, is a constant source of sur prise to the traveller in Norway. Ia a very short distance from their source they swell into a size comparable to that of the great est English rivers, and the causes of this are not immediately reoognized ia the great rainfall ef the district, the numerous tributaries, and the large area of drainage. There is no better way of contrasting Nor way with Switzerland than by taking in each one of the most characteristic scenes. And as in Switzerland there is perhaps no more typical district than the Lake of Luoerne, aud in partionlar the Bay of Url, so in Norway that branch of the Sogne fiord which ends at Oudvangen, and the valley above it, may be taken as one of those scenes whioh most strike the traveller as unique and to be remembered. And of these two, there can be no question that for beauty, for pioturesqueness, and even for a pure and tranquil sublimity, the Bay of Uri is immeasurably the superior. The out line of the mountains, the luxuriance of the woods, the snows, the green upland valleys with their villages, are all features that have no counterpart at Gadvangen. Bat there Is no terror in the Bay of Uri. Even if yoa did not know of the excellent road and com fortable hotels on its shores, the natural features of the lake have too muoh beauty for any fear to mingle with the im pression received, (iudvangen, on the other Land, is one of the few places that strike the mind, even of a traveller who has seen much of mountain scenery, with a feeling akin to horror a feeling so generally experienced by the unaccustomed tourists of the last century, so rarely by those of the present day. The effect is as simple as it can be; the valley, whioh is called the Nojrodal, is of the nar rowest; the fiord in which it terminates is scarcely wider. Above both valley and fiord, and on both sides, range the black and precipl- tons cliffs, everywhere inaccessible, and Borne- times BO sheer that yoa coald almost drop a plummet from summit to base; their extreme height is perhaps not overestimated at five thousand feet. Ihej stream with waterfall, tut THE DAILY" there is tel an atom of fo'iage, and hardly of grass, Bpon them. The valley ends in what Would be a cut dt sac were it not for a great bastion that stands out from the middle of It, op which the road is carried. There is not, perhaps, in Europe another so weird plaoe aa Undvangen a plaoe bo utterly severed, as fir as appears at first sight, fiom the outer world, so entirely devoid both of convenience of ac cess and of the customary ornaments of beau tiful scenery. Yet the imnresslon it prodaoes is profound. What is most singular about it is that it lies on the high road from Uhristiania to Bergen, it being necessary to take a boat from Leldalsoren to Gadvangeu, a row of tea hours in the finest weather; unless yoa can catch the steamer, whloh goes onoe a week, and takes four or five hoars in the voyage. Far more beautiful than the Noero fiord, and rivalling the Lake of Luoerne itself in their varied splendor, are the great fiords that stretch inland from Melde and Aalesund the Romsdal and Btor fiords. Of these the former is very well, the latter very little, known to Norwegian tourists. It would be difficult to say which is the finer, at least if the valley of Romsdal be taken in together with the fiord; otherwise the decided prefer ence would have to be given to the Stor fiord. They are both distinguished for the extraor dinarily jagged and peaked outline of the summits that overhang them a feature that belongs to no other part of Norway south of the Arctio circle, except the wild ranges of the Ymes'jeld and llnrungernefjeld, which stretch from the head of the Sogne fiord np to Lorn, and, culminating in Galdhopiggen and Skag tolstind, form the highest oleratbns in the whole country. The Romsdal mountains are probably loftier than those of the Stor fiord, bnt these latter are the sharper and more aiguille-like. This, it should be observed, applies only to the western arm of the Stor fiord, which runs past Sccbo, and to the smaller reach that lies immediately te the east of it; the long eastern arm, that ends in llellesjlt la overhnng by less remarkable summits. The Suebo branch has some very fine glaciers and snowy domes. The steamer from Aalesund runs only to Ilellesylt, pass ing by the entrance to the western arm ot the fiord; nor is this ilellesylt branoh, even if in ferior to the other, at all to be decried. The mountains come down sheer into the water, yet are green and well wooded, the birches and pines dinging to the ledges even of the steepest precipices, and in every long receding glen on the tops of the cliffs are farm-houses and chalets that remind one of Switzerland. Most refreshing is it to the eyes of the travel ler who has been winding through the stern barren islands of the iron-bound coast. Not many Norwegian tourists traverse the rough road from Ilellesylt to Bergen, yet few roads can exhibit a greater variety of beauty. The Bredheim Yand, for instance, is a lake that will compare with the famous KOnigseeof the Bavarian Alps, and is not at all inferior to it. In parts, agaia, as at Forde and Eidevig, there is a really luxuriant vegetation. The Langfjeld and Justedel mountains, on the snniiiiits of which are the largest snowflelds of Europe, skirt the left of the road for a long distance. We have not penetrated into them, Lut to all appearance it must be extremely well worth while to do so. It ia carious that neither Mr. Forester nor Professor Forbes came into these parts, nor even into Romsdal. Professor Forbes, however, examined the Jua tedal mountains from the other Bide. The great defect of Norway lies in the gene ral (though not invariable) want of boldness and pioturesqueness in its higher summits, and also, of coarse, as oompared with Switzer land, in their leseer elevation. The want of plain country, too, mast be reckoned a fault, lor it results from this that the panoramlo views, so frequent in the Alps, are rare, and when they occur are defioient in character. An extensive view mast be poor unless the height of the mountains is shown by contrast. The most celebrated broad view in Norway is that called the King's View, on the Tyri fiord, near Christiania; bat here the high mountains are very distant, and, though some bold tourist has compared it to the view from the Rigi, the comparison is absurd. It ia even very decidedly inferior to the view from Snow don or Scawfell. It ia the valley and fiord scenery that ia so remarkable in Norway, and here it scarcely yields at all even to the Alps. We have not yet mentioned the waterfalls, whioh are con fessedly the finest in Europe. There is, how ever, one excellent rule that we have long adopted in discovering the height of any waterfall a rale both of extreme simplicity and, as far aa onr experience goes, of great accuracy. It ia this: take the height of the waterfall asgstated by Murray, divide it by two, and yoa will have the real height. If yoa use any other guidebook than that of Murray (and perhapa also Black) yoa are pretty safe in dividing the nominal height by four. Sometimes even Murray requires a farther redaction; according to the current number of the Cornhill, the Ostadfoss, reck oned to be eeven hundred feet high, has to bs b rought down to seventy, or even fortyfeet I This, we think, is the ne plus ultra of exaggeration. But even the Yoringfoss, the greatest Norwegian fall, which we had always fondly hoped to be a real nine hundred feet of sheer descent, has now, alas l aooording to the stern decision of ordnance surveyors, to ba brought down below five hundred feet; how muoh below is not stated. It is the same in all countries. The Krimml Fall in the Tyrol is roundly leckoned by Murray at two thou sand feet; this fall Is in four parts, of whioh the upper part is again roundly reckoned by Murray at a thousand feet sheer. It sounds well, no doubt. We have visited this fall twice; the second time with a friend who was well acquainted with all the Swiss waterfalls, and over whom we consequently felt a oertatn sense of superiority, for no Swiss waterfall pretends to be a sheer thousand feet. Bat oar friend's perception were unsophisticated, his judgment Rhadamanthine; he insisted that the united four fahs did not exoeed a thousand feet. "Ye3," we replied, with some shame (for we had boasted of the Krimml fall), "or call it twelve hundred; fifteen hundred it may even be." But we felt at the time that he was right. The Staubbaoh, that beauti ful "pillar of light," whloh some people affect to contemn, is a very honest fall; it ia, we believe, a genuine hundred feet. The Klel foss at Gudvangen is reokoned at two thou sand; we should like to see the man who, wLile looking at it, can honestly say that he thinks it higher than the Staubbach. There is a nameless fall in Romsdal, at the top of one of the cliffs, that appeared to ns at least as high as the Kielfoss. Bat we were mis taken when we just now called the estimate of the Ostadfoss the ne i!us ultra of exaggera tion. There is a wa'erfall in Derbyshire called Kinder Downfall, ft picturesque leap of a moun tain stream, some sixty feet into a rocky ra vine, among a chaos of huge boulders, the ravine continuing to slope downwards very steeply after the fall. Of this one of the guide books says, in a light and airy manner (we quote from memory): "The fall is considera ble; the Kinder leaps from ledge to ledge for five hundred feet Into the valley; when full, its breadth is about a quarter of a mile" l That would indeed be a Niagara. Bat it is dis tressing to see really pretty scenery pat to Bbime in this way. We have wandered, from Norway. Let us KING TKLJIGlUl'H PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, conclude by ''injr, a good word for the people. There is no jjort kindly nation aay where. If their primitive mode of living, and the naolu sion in which they, are neoessarily kept for half ,he year have prevented their reaching a vevy high degree of Intellectual development, 'hfv are at all events extremely eager to learn: and an Englishman will ia many out-of-the-way inns win their gratitude by leaving them an English book to read. From our own ex perience we should consider them the most sincerely religions nation on the Continent; certainly the most impressive service we ever heard was In one of the Bergen churohes. It is true that an Euglishman might have been a little startled by the amount of expeotoratioa indulged in by the congregation; between the intervals of the sermon the sound was like that of the large rain-drops at the be ginning of a thunder shower. Bat their attention was breathless, their en ergy in sieging marvellous; and the faces of the men were, for a devout and ugly earn estness, like those in the pictures of Albert Diirer. It is on a Sunday that the costumes of the peasantry are best seen, and very pretty they are, especially those of the women. Boa nets and hats are nnknewn among them; a scarf or handkerchief, sometimes white, more frequently colored, is wound round their heads and falls down their backs; the maidens wear a red snood. The greatest amount of orna ment and of color is on their breast v, here they wear silver clasps or brooches, of curious and Bometlmea very old workmanship. These are to be bonght plentifully in the Bhops of Chris tiania and Bergen, and no tourist returns without some of them. The belts of the men are at times of silver, and very remarkable. From these belts hang daggers a dangerous custom, it might seem; but the people are not hot-blooded. Ia many valleys the men wear a singular weird-looking red cap, loose and long. Now that the costumes of the Tyrol are going out of fashion, Norway ia distinctly the country of picturesque dress, if indeed it was not always on a level with the Tyrol in thia respect. Dr. Tjndall's New Researches. From the London Athenautn. "On a New Series of Chemical Reactions produced by Light" ia the title of a remarkable paper presented to the Royal Society by Dr. Tyndall. It ia a paper whioh will be read with eagerness for the interesting faots it disoloses, and for the method of experiment, heretofore nntried, which it offers to chemists. Vapors of volatile liquids are introduced into an ex hausted glass tube, and subjeoted to the aotion of concentrated sunlight, or to the concentrated beam of the electrio light. This is the method: the effects produced varying with the vapor employed, may, without strain of speech, be described as wonderful. The method has another advantage, for, aa Dr. Tyndall remarks, the power of the electrio beam to reveal the existence ot anything within the experimental tube, or the impari ties of the tabe itself, is extraordinary. When the experiment is made in a darkened room, a tube which in ordinary daylight appears absolutely clean is often shown, by the pre sent mode of examination, to be exceedingly filthy. With vapor of nitrate of amyl, a shower of liquid spherules was precipitated on the beam, thus generating a cloud within the tube. With a modification of the beam, the precipitation was so rapid and intense that the cone formed by the beam, before in visible, flashed suddenly forth like a solid and luminous spear. By proper management of the light, the vapor within the tube may be made to appear of a rioh pure blue oolor, equal to that in the skies of the Alps. With iodide of allyl, the vapor column re volved round the axis of the decomposing beam, drawn in at certain places like an hour glass, while delicate cloud-filaments twisted themselves in spirals round the bells of the apparent hour-glass. With iodide of isopropyl another change took place; the vapor formed globes and cylinders, which were animated by a commotion of rotation, disturbed at timea by a paroxysm, in which beautiful and grotesque cloud forma were developed, some represent ing a serpent's head, others buds which seemed to grow into flowers, and all of a gorgeous mauve color. With hydrobromio acid the cloud resolvea itself into a series of disks and funnels, then parasols and rings of a very pale blue color, and all rotating as in the former instance. With hydrochloric acid the cloud requires twenty minutes for its full development, but then it appears in sections each possessing an exceedingly complex and ornate structure, exhibiting ribs, spears, funnels, leaves, in volved scrolls, and iridescent fleurs-de lis. With bydriodio acid another modification is seen, having a family likeness to the two im mediately preceding, but with marked differ ences of development, for the green and crim son produoed were the most vivid that Dr. Tyndall has yet observed. The development of the cloud, as he describes, was like that of an organism, from a more or less formless mass at the commencement, to a structure of marvellous complexity, at whioh the Professor "looked in wonder for nearly two hoars." We may anticipate that a subject which ap peals to the eye as thia does will be taken for one of the Friday evening lectures at the Royal Institution. Meanwhile, different classes of scientific inquirers may work with the new method, for it connects itself with phenomena of chemical decomposition, with molecular physios, and with phenomena of the atmos phere. "Marigold" is the new oolor in gloves. Strakosch ia negotiating for Rossini's last mass. There are oyster pirates on the Maryland Bhore. Street cars without platforms are sug gested. MEDICAL.
