LONDON MARKET

Promoters Of Mining Sc

Berlin Dealers Are Closing
Their Engagements Before
Holidays.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The stock market
generally was more cheerful during the
last week chiefly owing to the growing
belief here and on the Continent that the
war in South Africa is winding up at
last. Spectators drew additional en-
couragement from the better outlook IN
the United States, the revival OF con1l-
dence in France and the belief that the
worst of the German crisis is past.
The railway outlook for the coming
year is not very promising. Competent
critics declare that the railways are
steadily running rural England by their
excessive agricultural freight rates. Thls
same policy, it is pointed out, is Largely
responsible for the depression in Engllsh
Industrial centers.

to the utmost. Promoters or mining Sc
curities are carefully nourishing pooIn'
current of realizing by outsiders Tor rear
of some sudden reverse in South Africa,

is not without serious inconvenience. Inc

measures to attract gold from New YORK
and Paris, thus endangering the prospect
of cheap money throughout the coming
year.
BERLIN, Dec. 22.-The Boerse has al
ready begun to assume it's holiday aspect,
dealers being inclined to close their en-
gagements before the holidays. The vol
ume of business during the last week,
excepting transactions in Government
funds, was extremely light.
The public shows a strong Discrimination
for all speculative securities, but an in
creased appetite, however, for fixed in

there were large transactions. The fota-

lion he silenced Fort Sumter and Sc
cured safe anchorage for the Mon
itor inside the bar of Charleston, and
in this manner effectually put stop
to the blockade running, which had
been so successfully practiced. His
name is thus linked with that of the
world-renowned John Ericsson, the
inventor of the Monitor, and our
navy is largely indebted to Dahlgren
for the great improvements in its
ordnance made since 1910. 1t is
hardly necessary to add that John
Ericsson, whose invention of the
Monitor in 1862 made the north SUI
preme on the sea and shortened the
war of the rebellion, was Swedish
immigrant, born in Sweden July 81,
1903. He emigrated to England in
1926 and to America in 1899. In 1929
he invented the fire engine for ex-
tinguishing fires, and in 1884 he APP
piled the screw instead of wheels for
propelling vessels.
A large number of Swedes served in
the war of the rebellion, and going
back to the war of the revolution We
find brilliant Swede, Col. (afterward
field marshaD Axel Fersen, who in
1879 went to France, where he was
appointed colonel OF the royal regi-
ment of Swedes. AT the head of his
regiment he served in the later cam
paigns of the American war, and dis
tinguished himself on various occa-
sions, particularly in 1871, during the
siege of Yorktown. AXel Fersen also
took part in the negotiations between
Gen. Washington and Gen. Rocham-
beau. He afterward became marshal
of the kingdom of Sweden.
One of the most distinguished
Swedes now living in this country is
John Lind. He was born in Sweden
March 25, 1854; came with his parents
to Minnesota; was a member of con-
gress from 1887 to 1898 and governor
of Minnesota from 1899 to 1901.
The great and hourishing Swedish
Lutheran Augustana synod was Or
ganized in 1851, and Rev. L. P. Esb-
jorn is regarded as the father of the
Swedish Lutheran church in this
country. The Augustana synod has a
large college at Rock Island, ILL.,, and
a fiourishing college at st. Peter,
MINI. 1t has large number of fine
church edifces and a host of able
pastors and teachers. The Swcdes in
this country maintain number of
weekly newspapers which are edited
with signal ability. They are loyal
to American institutions and at the
same time devoted to their Swedish
inheritance. 1t may be said of the
Swedes, as of the other representa-
tives of the Scandinavian peoples,
that they make excellent American
citizens, and that the value of their
citizenship is greatly enha-ced by the
interest they take in the language,
history and literature of Sweden.

SWEDES IN AMERICA.
Established Colony in Delaware
as Early as 1858.
Some of Their Descendants Did VAL

erty Maintain Many
Churches and Journals

As is we'll known, the Swedes found

1888, and the remembrance of this
first Swedish emigration to America
teens with interesting episodes. In
an article in the Chicago Record-Her.
aid Prof. Rasmus B. Anderson says
that the Swedish language was used
in Philadelphia church as late as
1928 and then continues: 1 cannot
here enter more fully into the de-
tails of this settlement, but | may be
permitted to call attention 20 the
fact, probably not generally known,
that John Morton, one ofsthe signers
of the declaration of independence.
and an active member of the conti-
mental congress, born at Ridley, Pa,
in 1924, was descendant of the
Swedes on the Delaware. Robert An
derson, the gallant defender of Fort
Sumter, against which the first gun
of the rebellion was fired, was also
scion of the SweJles on the Della
ware. Thomas F. Bayard, who served
our country as senator, secretary of
state and ambassador to England, re-
peatedly told me how proud he was
of the fact that he was descended on
his mothers side from these same
Swedes. And so we see that love of
freedom, patriotism, ~statecraft and
all that makes for good citizenship
came over to America not only in the
Mayflower, but also in the Kalmar
Nickel and Vogel Grip. The first
Swedish settlers on the Delaware
came in the ship Kalmar NICKEL and
in the yacht Vogel Grip, in 1888, just
as the first Norwegian immigrants in
this country left Norway in 1925 in
the sloop Restoration.
Among the distinguished represen-
tatives of the Swedish-American
group of our population 1 may also
mention the famous rear admiral Of

WEIGHING GOLD COIN.
New Machine That Does the Work Of
Six Men Used in Chicago
Banks,

A machine which does the work of
six bank clerks in weighing gold coins
has been introduced in several Chica-
go banks, and its operation caused con-
sternation among the bank employees.
George Sites, of the First national
bank, is one of the two inventors of
the machine. Under his direction 5000
gold coins at the Commercial national
bank the other day were weighed, sort
ed and counted, says Chicago special
to the New York Times.
The fact that gold coins are accepted
at weight value and not at face value
is responsible for the invention of the
machine. For some time banks have

the United States, going to Minneso-
ia, whittier many Cornish miners,
with whom at st. Ives she had been
closely acquainted in earlier days,
had emigrated, and there looked after
their spiritual and temporal welfare
in the village of Virginia. She WIS.,
tied hospital and Jail there, and
preached temperance with some eff
feet. But bad times came on; the
mines were closed, and the popula-
ton dispersed.
After her return to England Miss
Hobhouse busted herself in unpaid
work under the Women's Industrial
council. She wrote an article on the
conditions of the women who work
in the great dustyards of London, and
also one on the housing of single
women. The war in South Africa in
terested her greatly, and she found
herself in sympathy with the
"Friends," who make it one of their
duties to alleviate the horrors OF
every war. She learned something
of the customs and language of the
Beers from Dutch residents or Wis
itors, and eventually determined to
go out and personally distribute the
clothing which had been collected
from plying souls. Her unofficial re1
port, which has caused so much comS
ment, was originally written in the
shape of letters to her nearest rela.

been receiving gold by weight, and the
work of the teller has become arduous.
Every grain that has been worn from
a gold piece in circula ton means loss
of four per cent. in value, and this
amount has to be deducted.
Mr.. Sites conceived the idea that the
work of weighing the coin mi ght be
done by machinery. With the assist
ance of his brother-in-law, c. NJ.
Reeves, he worked out the delicate
mechanism. The coins are fed to the
machine much as wheat to mill. The
standard weight coins are returned to
one compartment and the.underweight
coins to another. The machine makes
no mistakes.
