A FREAK OF NATURE.

Pankaharju is the name given to a narrow ridge of land which stretches north and south, nearly four miles right across the eastern armi of the Saima Lake. It is broken is, three places. Two of the gaps have been bridged over and no excellent post road runs along the top of the ridge. The road is continued across the gap at the northem extremity by means of a hoise-ferry. In itself this ridge is a most curious and extraordinary geological formation. For the greater part of its length; it is as re- gular as parrow, and as straight as a railway

WOODLAND, LAKE, AND SKY. From end to end the whole ridge is thickly clad with pine and birch trees. On either side the lake is studded with small wooded islands. Somethines the ridge throws out arms enclosing a number of small calm lagoons, which have been connected with the lake by canals so that one may row a boat into them. It is on the bank of such a lagoon that I am writing this article, concentrating my thoughts with diffi culty upon the subject.

*

It is almost impossible to give an adequate |-idẹą, of the strange fascination of the place. The hand of man has assisted nature judicious. |∙ly by cutting down" avenues through the pines from certain vantage points, exposing views which would otherwise be unknowa. As one, walks along the ridge one prospect after an other, each of surpassing beauty, opens itself out. At one point; called "Runeberg's Hill" after the national poet, six avenues converge. Far into the distance the capes and· islands, each with its fringe of pine, alternate with zones of silver lake in wonderful zig-tag. Between the earth at une's feet and the sky there may be us many as six eight, or ten alternate belts of lake and pine. In one magoificent view there are as many as twelve alternations of land and water, and the belt of trees which forms the horizon

is shaded as if it were composed of at least

three zones. On either side of the clearing, like a frame enclosing the whole view, rise great red-holed pines or tall, graceful birches, like fountain jets falling in green spray."

Looking along the ridge one sees on either side through the pine trunka the clear: lake" water far below. Higher up the branches thicken into a darker belt, completely obscur. ing the sky save at the very zenith, above the track. The view of the lake, with its islands seen through the tang, naked pine trunke, is 'as delicately fanciful at some exquisite Japanese screen. Indeed, the whole landscape is Japanese father than Europeas in its aspect.
