If this is successful, the “merger” will be able to compete with the national railroad in certain districts, A rather unfortunate episode that has had a tendency to emphasize un- duly the fact that there is a lack of amity and good will between Sweden and Norway, is the refusal of the Swedish Anthropological society to is- sue the Vega medal to Capt. Roald Amundsen, the discoverer of the Northwest passage. It was confident- ly expected that by reason of his great geographical and __ scientific achievements, Capt. Amundsen would be honored with this medal; no medal was awarded at all. Dr. Torild Wulff addressed an inquiry to the directors of the society, asking why the captain diq not receive the medal. He stated he could not believe that politics would influence the actions of the di- rectors. Prof. Anderson, a member of the board of directors, answered that the medal was wa bheld from Capt. Am- undsen becau¥e of his conduct after his return from the polar regions. It was well known, said Prof. Anderson, that the late King Oscar gave Amund- }|sen considerable assistance when he started on his expedition, but this the explorer had forgotten when he re- turned home, making no acknowledge- ment of gratitude to his benefactor. On that account the society felt that the medal ought not to be awarded to Capt. Amundsen, Alexander Nansen, the legal repr sentative of Capt. Amundsen at Chri: tiania, issued a denial on behalf of his client, now absent in America, of the charge made by Prof. Anderson. He says that Amundsen sent several tele- grams to King Oscar, on his arrival at the first telegraph station, but that he had learned that they did not reach their destination. The captain made an attempt to get an audience with King Oscar or Crown Prince Gustaf, to explain matters, but was unsuccess- ful. The refusal of the anthropological society to award the Vega medal to Amundsen has aroused much com- ment and criticism in both countries. NORWAY. A dispatch from Bergen says that the emigration from that port has in- creased materially of late. The ma- jority of the fortune seekers are from Trondhjem county. It is believed that fewer will leave Vestlandet than heretofore.

IN THE SCANDINAVIAN NORTH Gleanings of Important News of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, with Occasional Comments. By MARTIN W. ODLAND. The parish of Vang is to be divided into three parishes, to be known as the Vang, Hamar and Furnes. ** * Up to March 15 about 1,000,000 crowns worth of herring had been ex- ported from Haugesund this season. * *._* * The Bromstad estate, one of the finest in Strinden, was recently sold to Karl Jermstad, an agronomist, for 80,000 crowns. ee 8 The members of the Lovland cabi- net, who were forced out of/ office in February, as prominently recorded in these columns, have all peen provided for in the way of official work. Mr. Lovland has been appointed clerk of the customs at Christiania—a big tum- ble from prime minister of his coun- try; Mr. Arctander, chief of the city council of Christiania; Mr. Berge, “amtmand” at Jarlsberg; Mr. Aarre- stad, the same at Nedenes; Mr. Dawes, chief of the military training school; Mr. Brunchorst, minister to Havana; Messrs. Halvorsen and Bredal have returned to private life. ss ¢ & The aggregate value of the imports in January, 1908, was 15,800,000 crowns, as against 10,400,000 crowns in January, 1907. This great increase is due to the large amount of rye, bar- ley and wheat that the people of Nor- way had to buy from foreign coun- tries, on account of the crop shortage last year, in regard to which I have written in detail. Unfortunately for the little kingdom, it is unable to show a marked increase in the ex- ports to offset the increase in her im- ports, the exports in January, 1908, being 12,800,000 crowns, only 300,000 crowns more than the same month in 1907. *. 2 *& A prominent business man has writ- ten an article on the importance of the Dovre. railway, from which we take the following significant para- graph: “Since 1905 the Dovre railway has been the most important matter in the country, from several points of view. Strategically it is of the great- est importance. On account of its bearing on the mining industry it is of the greatest importance. As a means of creating national unity it is of the greatest importance. As a means of developing the interior of the country it will be of the greatest help, and the tourist traffic will be given a big impetus by reason of its construction.” A late dispatch from Christiania says: “The last act in the ministerial crisis farce that has lasted for a year and a half was played when the Knudsen cabinet was sustained by a vote of fifty-seven members of the Left and ten Socialists against nineteen of the Left and thirty-six of the Right. Five members of the independent section of the Left voted for the cabinet, though they declared that they had no confidence in it and voted as they did only because they were tired of the endless political debates which made useful work impossible. One mem- ber of the cabinet, Col. Heftye, re- signed, declaring that he was not will- ing to live by the grace of the Social- ists. Assuming that it will be careful not to attempt radical reforms, the Knudson cabinet probably uow is safe. se DENMARK. The following dispatch from Copen- hagen gives an account of the settle- ment of a question that has created general interest, and in some places, anxiety, in the Scandinavian North: “Russia, Germany, Denmark and Sweden have agreed to the terms of a convention maintaining the status quo on the Baltic coasts, and the signing of the convention is expected without delay. Sweden and Denmark have ex- pressed satisfaction with the terms as finally agreed to, and the Swedish government is particularly well pleas- ed to have the menace of Russian for- tification of the Aaland islands defi- nitely disposed of. “_n agreement with regard to the status quo of the North sea is expect- ed to follow soon. “The relations between Sweden and Russia, and to a lesser extent Den- mark and Russia, have recently been strained owing to the insistence of Russia that she be released from the agreement made when Sweden sur- rendered Finland, that no naval sta- tions or fortifications be established on the Finnish shores adjacent to Sweden. Russia went so far as to es- tablish a naval station on the Western shores of the Aaland islands, which are twenty-five miles from the Swed- ish coast, and she also was preparing to build fortifications there.” * 2 8 The young Norwegian composer, Olaf Hareide, has made a name for himself at Berlin, where he is at pres- ent studying music under Prof. Robert Kahn. At a concert, attended by many musical critics of note, he play- ed some of his compositions by re- quest, and won a great deal of warm praise. sf. 8 Wilhelm Lassen, minister of finance, died at Copenhagen April 6, after a protracted illness.

On a quiet street of Washington's once fashionable neighbor, George town, there ig a building whose pecu- liar appearance arouses the curiosity of all strangers who see it. It ie something like a library, something like a mausoleum and something like a small Christian Science church, with a roof garden on top. J It is none of these. If you know what it is, even after you are told its name, you may step right along to the head of the class. Persons who know about the Volta bureau are not plenti- ful enough to get in your way. The story of the Volta bureau is in- teresting. The beginning of it lies back in Italy more than 150 years ago, when Alessandro Volta, who was to make a study of electricity, was born. Later Napoleon had a great opinion of the Italian scientist and established the Volta prize. This prize, a great reward for in- ventions or discoveries, is not con- ferred at regular intervals. In fact, it has been given only three or four times. In 1880 it was voted to Dr. Alexander Graham Bell in recognition of his service to the world in produc- ing the telephone. The prize amounted to about $10,- 000. The original $10,000, through in- vestments, became $100,000. Part of this money was used for that building of baffling aspect in Georgetown. Part of the structure really is a li- brary and absolutely unique at that. At the rear of the building, which is fireproof, the steel book stacks con- tain thousands of books, periodicals and pamphlets, forming the most re- markable collection of statistics in re- gard to the deaf that exists anywhere in the world. Dr. Bell has the best reasons for being interested in the deaf. His own wife is what used to be called a deaf mute, though it is no longer an accu- rate term. Mrs. Bell has been taught speech, and as she is an accomplished lip reader many persons have met and talked with her without discovering her deafness. It was Dr. Bell himself who taught her to speak. His father, Alexander Melville Bell, invented the system known as visible speech and sent his son from Scotland to this country to introduce the method in schools for the deaf here. Among the young man’s pupils was a daughter of Gardiner G. Hubbard. Her teacher fell in love with her, and she became the wife of the inventor. The Volta bureau corresponds with almost every civilized country in re gard to work for the deaf. On its shelves are books in all languages. Its aid is sought by various governments. AMERICAN CROSS OF HONOR. Distinguished Personages Decoratec By Order Recently Established. Thomas H. Heardon is entitled to a niche in the hall of fame of the near great. Mr. Heardon, who is a clerk in the land office at Washington, re- ceiving an annual compensation of $1,000, has recently bestowed upon King Edward VII. of Great Britain the grand cross of the American Cross of Honor, and has received his majesty’s thanks for the distinction. Similar be- stowals have been made upon the German emperor, King Leopold of Belgium, President McKinley, Presi- dent Roosevelt and Andrew Carnegie. Each of the distinguished and worthy personages who have received decora- tions from Mr. Heardon have accepted with thanks either through their per- sonal autograph letters or through their ambassadors or private secretar- ies. The American Cross of Honor is an organization incorporated by act of congress several years ago. Only those persons who have received a lifesav- ing medal from the United States gov- ernment are eligible to active member- ship. The scheme of organizing such a society was conceived by Mr. Hear- don, who has been its president from the start. Mr. Heardon is the sole directing spirit in the society which his untiring efforts brought into ex- istence. He conducts all of its busi- ness and chooses the crowned heads who are to be made honorary mem- bers and have the grand cross of the order bestowed upon them. Old Order Bars Typewriter. Discovery has been made of a war department order, still in effect, which was issued in 1883, before typewriters came into general use. It directed that the typewriter may not be em- ployed in writing out sentences of gen- eral courts martial. Since that time the typewriter has come into such general use that those who have occa- sion to compile the records of courts martial have overlooked the old order. Steps have been taken to revoke the order and to substitute therefor a cir- cular authorizing the use of the type- writer in writing out the findings and sentences, provided that the judges advocate certify that the typewritten findings and sentences were correct. Fine Painting of Gettysburg. There is at present on exhibition in one of the rooms of the national house at Washington a magnificent painting of the Battle of Gettysburg, the work of James Walker, who painted the Battle of Chapultepec, which is hung on the senate side of the capitol. The original sketches were made on the battlefield by the artist himself, and it required eight years to complete the painting. Noticeable in the foreground is a figure of General Bingham of Pennsylvania, the dean of the house of representatives.
