One-of the most interesting ar-
chacological discoveries of the |

of Visby on the Island of Gotland,
which is a plateau of limestone ly-
ing in the middle of the Baltic sea,
and a Swedish possession

and in number, it is said, who con |
trolled the trade between the north!
and east. They built a great wall
about their city, thirty feet high,
battlemented with towers alout
two hundred feet apart. The wall
is about four thousand, three hun- |
dred and seveaty yards long. + |
Kings coveted this “Queen of |
the Baltic’ or "Eye of the Baltic” |
as it was called, and many severe |
attacks were made upon its walls!
which proved entirely impregna
ble. In 1361 Valdemar, King of |
Denmark, landed a large army on |
the coast and the proud burgers of
Visby, conceited and rash, made
the mistake of leaving their strong- |
hold and going out to crush the
invaders. They met with over. |
