THE VIKING'S SHIP. A CltAFT A THOUSAND YKAIH OLD IS UNKAUTItED. For Centuries It lie-steal In m Nor wegian Tumulus A Kept-oil uct Ion Coming to the World' Fair. 7C BMALL ve-scl, the ciifct slmlll- tude of the oldest surviving , telle of tlie greatest immcn of J" the Middle Aic, will soou journey from New York by water through the Erie Canal and the lakes to Chicago, where will he exhibited this relic ot the punt. The vessel of which this ii an exact reproduction, mado by order of the Norwegian Government, in no rude affair, nlthmigii it In 10UU years .old. In its line lines, careful construc tion end exact finish we find much tint the best art of the shipbuilder has failed to improve. This craft herself may havo visited under her owner' command the whole north of Scotland, Ireland, and even Kogland. One just like her must have been tailed by Lcif Eriksson when he landed upon the cost of Vinland, pre figuring tho remarkable voyage now ftiado by the duplicato of the ancient hip. As to thii particular ililp, however, ila age is not ascertainable with any de gree of accuracy, nor to whom it be loogod. All that we do know i that the waa placed where she was found omcwhere during the Ninth or Tenth Ccnturv. She doubtless belonged to tome Viking who made his piratical cruises from the great Haudetjord, as she TUB ItCDDRR ON TRB SIDE. was disinterred from Ookttad, a mound on that sound, in 1880. The fact that the mound, which was about ISO feet In circumference, wat mado of bluo clay, accounts for tho preservation, of tbiw womioriul relic. Such interments and such discoveries of them have been mado in other parts of Scandinavia as well as elsewhere, but this Is the largest nnd most porfect ves sel jet found. Professor Engelhurdt found OD3 iu 1803 atNy Saur, in Sclilcs wig, forty-live feet long, and another was found in 1807 at Tuno forty-two feet long. This one is seventy-seven feet eleven inches long, sixteen feet seven inches beam, anil five feet nine inches in depth from keel to gunwalo amidships, drawing some four feet of water. The tumulus, where she was buried, is now a mile from tho tea, but geological changesskow that tho water onco washed its base. The boat wasevldontly drawn oat of the water on a bed of hurdles and moss. The tides were then covored with clay, the hold filled with earth and sand, and the mound built up over it. The prow was turned toward the sea, at wot always the case in these mounds, to that the chief should, at the last day, launch hit bark upon the wave. Such mound burialt were common, and Du Chaillu detenbot many ship-shaped and boat shaped mounds, rocks dituoted to form ship, gravel dug in the thape of a boat, and punicrout other remains in popular ship form in burial. This wat then a tepulcbral ship the coffin of tome great Viking of the Tenth Century awaiting the summons of the cock, which will crow at Kagnaroclc. Tbit boat it marvelously well pro- TUB OLD VIKINQ served. The blue clay became a her metic! case, preventing the entrance of water and air. Unfortunately the mound bad been entered centuries before and no weapon or treat ure were left, only a few of tb bone of the lord of the ship. Strangely enough, with these were the WtS2 TON. MW,f A la i , & II rant i m mi h ' m ' ram W MM M ' ft hollow hones of a peacock, probably the trophy of tome marauding cruise to the touthwanl, and the remains of tho skele ton of a little dog, with some fishhooks and some bronr.e ornaments for belts and harness. Near by were other interesting articles. Thore were the bones of nine or ten horses and dog which had prob ably been slaughtered upon the grave of the ship's captain. There was also a pile of oaken chips and a neatly shaped KKMTonAiioN or hatchet, and a piece of wood with a holo into which the shank of an anchor had been Inserted, with a few bits of iron re maining near by. The remains of two or three small oaken cannot were also found, with some oars belonging to the vessel and to the canoes. The ship's oars were from eighteen to twenty feet long. There wt-ro also found in the mound a largo solid copper cildron, lomn tow bedsteads lileo thoso still in use in Norway, some drinking cups, so i.o tubs, nnd several pieces of carved and painted wood. Homo of the beams woro enrvod to re present dravniis' heads, nnd many largo round shields of thin wood woro also found, all theso having liko the walls of the ship trace ol black and yullow paint on thorn. Tlieso shields were undoubt edly placed overlapping each other along tho sidet of the vessel for ornament and to protect tho rowers frqm tho spray. There was also a landing plnnk twenty four feet long, ten inches broad and 2V iuches thick, roughened on its upper turfaco to prevent slipping. A few piocot of rope and somo woolen rajjs, part of the tail, were also found. Tbo chamber in tho ship in which the unburucd body waa deposited wat a tent like apartment mado of logs placed lido by side sloping to a ridge pole running parallel to the keel. TriB BICPULCIIRAL CrUMIIKlt. Those who have seen this vossul as sure us that her model embodies all that it requisite for tpood, strength, and beauty. She is no rude craft of prhnovnl days, but a doftly fashioned structure, whose graceful linos would do honor to a sailing craft of to-day. She is a com plex structure, and must have required the labor of several men united and harmonious. She is especially seaworthy, and her broad hows distinguish her from the smoother water galtoys of tho south. Boats of a tlmilar kind nre teen in Nor way to-day.

The Viking' ihip i built of wtll-tea-toned oak. The keel ia very deep and is made of mat oak beami. To tbit the brat Umber are fattened. The Joint ot these natural growths ot ti inner care fully selected, are joined with withes of tree roots, elastic and durable. The plsnks are of sound, wotl seasoned hewod oak about an Inch and a half thick. They are worked in clinker fashion tl.nt Is, over-lapping each other, and they have both their inside ami their outside edges molded. Great labor and care must have been taken In selecting the timber and In cutting and Title vntmn ship. curving these plank with hatchets and axes. They nro riveted on with iron rivets, which arc clinched on both sides, nnd there aro a few oaken bolts here tnd there. Win has no deck, and the seatr for tho rowers are gone probably having neon removed when tho boat was placed in tho tomb. A floor mado by notching tho titles and tower plunks and putting looso boards therein, covers the bottom of tho bout, leaving bilgeways beneath. There nre sixteen oar holes or row ports on either side, oach about four inches in diameter. Thoso row ports are so constructed that the oars cau only bo thrust outwards, toward tho stern, and are covored by pieces of wood on the iusiilo when tl.e oars aro unshipped. Tho slr.o of these row ports mid tho absence of seats would Indicate that the short, quick, standing stroke was used and not the long, man-of-war, sweeping stroke. The rudder of thii vessel was in ex cellent preservation and it is interesting from many points of view. It is ou tin starboard (steer board) sido of the vos sol, and thin, the governing side, is thai still sacrod to olllcial uso in all ships. This rudder is a sort of broad, thick paddle, with a very short handle. It pivots on a conical piece of wood pro jecting a foot from tho vessel's side and through which a rope passed conllnitiir the rudder. A tiller, fostonod to the up per end of this oar, enabled it to be turned readily by changing tho auglu of the blade lu the wutur. Tho galley was tlttod with ono mov able must, which stepped in a socket sunk in a beam ut the bottom of the ves sel. At tho pardners the mast passed through a lozengo shaped holo iu a II sh shaped piece of wood, whero it was cou tiued by wedges. The discovery of this gallery was ot Importance to acholars, as well a to artists and seamen. It construction illustrates many points in art, literature and history allecting the ship. This finely modeled craft was probably a Suekur, or a Drakar, whose carved prow and stern, riding far above tho wave, uiade her resemble the fancied tea mako or dragoon, iu much feared by the tailori of tho ago. It would induod be a great deed if the veritable remuius of the vessel, whose lord may have at least voutured to Britain in her, should be brought half way round tho globe to the inland lake by the newest city of the western world, probably first made known by an ad venturous comrade to the old Vikiug, As we cannot possess the original, we are fortunate, through the kindness of the Norwegian Government, to be able to have its exact fac similo, and to compare her lines with the typical schooners of the great fresh-water fleet, and with the graceful yacht from abroad.

Toxicology scorns to be becomltifr an important branch of public educa tion at tho close of this century, whuse chief glory has been the wuto distribution of useful knowledge. The art of poisoning- without leaving traces may soon be Included with the accomplishments taught at the lyeee for youn ladle. To those, however, who read the papers dilltreritly no further Instruction on this head is meded. All that eminent chemists know about poisons has lately been told to the crowd of interviewing journalists who have waited upon them, and, the papers have publl-hd columns upon columns of toxicology.
