% A forest warden named Erikssen, 1t
Virsbo, was to serve a nobleman as
guide through the forest. Upon TAX
ing leave Of his family in the morn
ing Mr.. Erikssen said: ''Good- bye now,
in case we meet no more.0 After a
few hours walk in the woods they sat
down to rest. Mr.. Erickson asked the
nobleman If he could find the way
home alone, which was answered in
the negative. He then gave minute
description Of the path leading out Of
the forest, and just as he finished he
collapsed without uttering a sound

DR.. A. Apellof has tried to knock
the Big Lake monster (storsjoodjuret)
silly, or rather knock itclear out Of
existence, by an article in naturen,
which is published by the Bergen mu-
scum. His theory is that organic re-
fuse is accumulated on the bottom Of
the lake, gas is generated in this mass
during the warm season, and all Of q
sudden it breaks loose from the bot
tom and is carried to the surface by
the rising gas. He bases his theory on
actual observations made in Suldal
lake, Norway. But Jemtlandsposten
protests that this theory does not work
at all in Big Lake, because the bottom
of that body of water offers no chance
for such phenomena as those observed
in Suldal lake. se.t .,,#5s2E#

The mysterious prize awarded to
the Swedish grand lodge of the I. o.
G. T. at the Paris exposition has been
put in a new and true light. A French
committee on temperance had reported
on the temperance movement in all
countries, and the materials presented
from the Swedish Good Templars were
SO excellent that the judges awarded
prize without the knowledge of the
Swedish Good Templars themselves. 3
