on one railway only in Norway, that from Bergen to Voss, 

 the entire length being sixty-seven miles. The train passes 

 through forty-eight tunnels, and the line a narrow gauge 

 one is a wonder of engineering skill. The cars, which are 

 on the American system, run at a speed of twenty miles an

 Stavanger, by way of Sande, sailing up the Suldal Vand a
