RICHES OF NORTHERN SWEDEN
Vast Iron and Lumber Country Opsnsd
! Up by = New Railroad.

Vast Iron and Lumber Country Opsnsd
Up by = New Railroad.
The Northern part of King Oscars
realm has often been called 'Sweden's
America" because OF the richness OF
the land, although it is still unculti-
waited, says the Stockholm correspond
cnt of the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The poorer class prefer to emigrate to
the United States instead of seeking
new homes in Nordland. because that
part of the kingdom lacked means of
communication by land with the cap
ital. The coast cities suffered in tho
winter when ice covered the sea as
much as the interior settlements suf-
fercd the year round. When it was
discovered that there were great hid
den riches there for the government,
it decided to grant money for the
building of a railway. The Northern
Trunk line is now complete. and has
been opened by the king. He is said
to be Swcden's ablcst orator. and
he made the 'spccch of his life." The
festivities surpassed anything ever
seen here. The new railroad con-
meets ut Boden. near the gulf OF Both
mia, with the northernmost railroad
in the world, running from the sea-
port OF Lulea up to the Gellivara iron
mountains. forty-seven miles north of
the polar circle. This road has been
in operation two years. 1t may be
considered the end piece of continu-
Gus line of railroad about 1850 miles
long. reaching north and south the
whole length OF Sweden. The COM
pletion Of this line, it is believed, will
materially check immigration to Amer
lea. Nordland contains more than
twenty per cent OF the lumber OF the
world. and more than Canada and al
most twice as much as the United
States. The famous iron mines. the
largest in existence, arc capable of
supplying the world for centuries.
The scenery is highly picturesque,
and the new road presents much for
tourists.

among the battle SCARED veterans who
have followed him ever since the
mobilization of the volunteer Army Of
the Potomac in 1861. Nelson A. Miles
was born of Irish parentagc at West
minister, Mass, Aug. 3. 1880. His
father was soldier before him, hav-
ing served in the revolution. and it is
quite natural that the son should in
herit soldierly traits. These traits be-
came manifest when the guns of the
conaderacy were trained upon Fort
Sunptcr. At the first tap of the drum
he raised II company of volun-
tcers at his own expense and
offered his services to the state. For
some reason or other his services were
declined; but true patriotism knows no
encouragement. He made a similar
offer to New York and was accepted.

Unique Naval wedding.

At a recent English wedding, when
the bridegroom was an admiral in the
navy, the bride had her train carried
by two little brothers in smart Faunt-
leroy suits of white satin, and was at
tended by boats crew of pretty
bridesmaids, whose nautical costumes
were quite original. They were COM
posed of white cloth, with coat bodices
faced with MORE silk, and trimmed
with naval gold lace, and having heavy
gold bullion epaulets. Long MORE
sashes, edged with the. union jacket
colors and most fetching white navy
regulation caps, with the rear ad-
miral's flag in front completed won
derfully pretty costumes. The we'd

with sugar model Of the Alert, in

Matter Indestructible.

An essential property of matter, but
which does not commend itself to super
fetal observation, like those of extension
and resistance, is indestructibility. So
far as experiment and observation can dis
cover, matter can neither be created nor
destroyed. On the surface facts seem to
contradict this assertion, for any particular
portion of matter may be decomposed and
resolved into it's constituent parts, so that
1t seems to have disappeared, because the
form under which we knew it is no longer
present.
In reality, however, no diminution in
the quantity of existing matter has taken
place. One proof of this is easily afforded
by combustion. If we allow piece CT
wood or coal or any combustible solid
body to burn away there will, as we
all know, be ashes remaining. If while
the combustion is going on we take means
to preserve not only the ashes, but also ev-
cry part of the body which would ordi-
narily be dissipated, as smoke and steam,
and then weigh all the different substances,
SOLID, liquid or gaseous, that we have OBJ
tanned, we shall find the combined weights
equal to the original weight of the body
itself.-Gocl Words
