STOCKHOLM, Jan. 4, is94,-As soon as
an anarchist has thrown bomb, by
which, perhaps, several persons have
been killed, there Is talk Of dynamite,
but very seldom, at such occasion, PEG.
pie think Of the man, who invented
these terrible means for the purpose Of
hvorng the modern technicals and not
for the aim OF furnishing the enemies Of
society with dreadful weapon.
The inventor Of the dynamite Is
Alfred Nobel, Swedish engineer. a
few facts about the life OF this remark
able man may be read with interest,
Nobel was born In Stockholm, Sweden,
aud emgrated when a young man to
Russia, where he soon built up a large
fortune by coming into possession Of
large petroleum wells.
The inventor Is living a very quiet and
happy life. lie spends the winter at his
villa In San Reno where he works in
| his studio, as he plcascs, having the

atoms at any moment lie stays a part
Of the summer in Switzerland, or makes
a voyage aboard his aluminium steam
yacht. Once In a while he goes to Paris,
| where he likes to live In his little palace,
near the Bots du Bolognc, for a few days
only, as he gets soon tired OF the noise
OF the big French capital. The great
| inventor has neither wife nor children.
His only relative Is a nephew, who Is
the owner OF immense petroleum wells

that is-peace, Nobel being very pro.

societies OF Europe, His ideal aim is

Prof Lieblein has written a series Of
| articles in the Christiania Anenposten,
In which remarkable editorials he adj
viscs his cuuntrymen TO take warning Of
the fate OF Poland lie obtained the
initiative to write on this subject through
an article In French paper which con.
cluded It's description Of the political
struggle on the Scandinavian peninsula
with the following question; "Can Il be,
that the Norwegians have not read the
history OF Poland''
Prof. Lieblein found that the question
was very proper, as the unfortunate fate
Of Poland gives both a sad aud warning
example Of how hatred, discord and
persecution amongst two political par
ties can carry an even mighty realm 10
ruin and destruction.
Norway" says the professor, us an
independent kingdom as also Poland
was once, and the Norwegians ought
not to be as discordant as the Poles were
because, In that case, the same fate will
happen 10 them as happened TO the
Poles. We may be slain by our neigh
bors, who are the Swedes. IL is likely
that our radical demagogues will tell us
so, as they seem to regard, once for all
the Swede as an adversary, II not at
enemy, instead OF brother, which b,
really is both on account OF tie OF blood
and history.

Norway ought to be a kingdom full
