TESTING A TRADITION.
. Near Ullensaker, in Norway, is a
grass and. tree-grown tumulus^ 60ft.
high'and-oyer 300ft. in diameter.
Dateless legends says it contains a
stone chamber in which are the re
mains of -an- unknown king, lying on
.a couch between two1' white, horses.'
In 1870 an attempt was made to
open the mound, but after several
perilous falls of tons of earthand
sand the excavators1 abandoned the
work. Archaeologists' are now pre;,
paring to make . a fresh" attempt* to
test the truth of the tradition*,
