NORTHERN LIGHTS.

DR.. Adam Paulsen's expedition to
Iceland to study the aurora borealis
has returned with a large quantity of
data, sketches, photographs and paint
ings as proofs of interesting and valu-
able discoveries.
The expedition was dispatched
under the auspices of DR.. Adam Paul
sen, director of the Copenhagen Me-
teoroIogical institute. 1t consisted of
Lieutenant La Cour, M M. Middilbo
and Kofoed, physicists, and the artist,
Count Herold Moltke.
1t was wonderfully we'll equipped
with apparatus DR.. Paulsen most en-
Enthusiastically describes the expedi-
ton as follows: "The party left Co
penhagen and arrived after an ex-
traordinarily favorable passage at Ak
ureyri, where operations were imme-
diately commenced. Count Moltke
has brought home from his expedition
some unique oil paintings of the au-
roral displays, which are very valu-
able as we'll as interesting, says DR..
Paulsen. Besides the regular obser-
vations of clouds very interesting OBJ
servations were taken also of what
has been termed Mother of Pearl
Clouds" which were observed twice
during the expedition. Both times the
observation of such clouds took place
during the noon times. The spectre
scopes revealed nothing noteworthy
about them, yet had such clouds been
self luminous the strong daylight
would likely have prevented the ex-
petition from seeing tn actual spectre
Of these clouds. To scientifically ex-
plain the work of the expedition
would be impossible, except in book
form, or by a series of lectures, but it
is sufficient that after the foregoing
dails to state that the facts gathered
by measurements and photographs
have put science on the track of won
derful discoveries concerning the au-
roro borealis, a phenomenon about
which the world in general as yet
knows very little, the expedition at
I4ular having made valuable discover
les concerning the ultra violet part of
the spectre, which has for centuries
puzzled scientists all over the
world"

never die. Whether it be his patri-
otto songs and marches, his students
songs or religious hymns, all are the
best of their class, and have attained
the widest popularity. His versatile
ty as a musician was remarkable, but
in addition he distinguished himself
as a poet, scholar, teacher, and, in the
field of politics, of the whole world of
art he was a careful student, and he
spoke with authority on every branch.
That his place in Sweden will, or
ever can be filled, is extremely doubt
full.
Gunnar Wennerberg was of a peas
ant family, though his father who
bore the same name, was clergyman
at Lidkoping, where the great COM
poser was born October 2, 1917. He
thus was nearly "a years at the time
of his death. At the University of
Upsala, which he entered to take a
philosophical course, he attained the
masters degree in 1916
1t was at Upsala that he became Iac-
quainted with the Juvenals, merry
group of gifted young men whose as
sociations inspired his earlier Juvenal
songs. Later appeared Gluntame, a
collection of duets for barytone and
bass, which have been sung every
where for over a half century. Seri-
Gus philosopher though he was, he
OH nf cd NV hn OH
In 1849 he became Instructor in phil
osophy in Skara academy, where he
remained for sixteen years. King Carl
XIV, an intimate friend, called Wen
nerberg to Stockholm to take charge
of the new museum of art, a position
for which he was peculiarly well
qualified, but the plans went awry
and he BECAME chief of bureau in
the church department. While hold
ing this position he was elected a
member of the Swedish academy, sue
ceeding Christian Erik Fab1crantz. In
1870, after change in the ministry,
the bureau chief was called to the
head of the department remaining
everywhere hosts of friends. In par
ticular he was instrumental in the in
PRODUCTION of various reforms, which
gave universal satisfaction. Another
ministerial change relieved him of his
portfolio, but in 1875 the government
appointed him governor of Vexio, a
position he held for thirteen years, a
part of which time he also served in
the first chamber of the riksdag.
Prime Minister Bildt called the great
scald to the church portfolio, which
he looked after most faithfully until
1891.
While master in composing songs
of gaiety and love. Wennerberg was
also man of deep religious feeling,
which is nowhere more plainly shown
than his famous rendition of the
psalms of David. Among his patriot
ic hymns are Hor of Svea, o Gud
Some Styrer Verdens Oden, Sta Stark
du Ljusets Ridervakt, and many
others, each breathing live patriot
ism of the highest kind.
The high esteem in which he was
held was fully shown in the many jul
bilees and anniversaries held in his
honor, which were observed almost
as public holidays. On the semi-cen-
Htennial of the appearance of Glun-
tarne, and on his SEVENTEEN and
eightieth birthdays, he was honored
by the whole nation without stint.
Youthful humor and manly earnest
ness and dignity were combined in
Wennerberg in happy manner, and
his personal popularity was as great
as that of his songs.

CARS BATTERED
IN A COLLISION
Passengers Fortunately
Escape Any Serious
Injuries.
Accident Occurs on Corner
Of Sutter and Devisa-
dero Streets.

Either through a faulty brake or greasy
track or neglect on the part of a motor
man to observe the rule of right-of-way,
a collision occurred yesterday morning
about 1880 at the corner of Devisadero
and Sutter streets between a DevisaderO-
street car bound north and a Sutter-street
car going east.
Each car carried a good number of pas
sengers and when the crash came and
the dummy was thrown from the tracks
IT was feared that some had been injured.
That they escaped with nothing more
than severe shaking and shock was
fortunate, for the front of each car
shows the force of the collision.
Among the passengers was M. Cohen
OF 1516 Devisadero street, who testifes
to the narrow escape of the occupants of
the cars from serious injuries. An elderly
lady, seeing a collision was inevitable,
attempted to leap from the northbound
car, but was forcibly held back by Cohen.
The officials of the Sutter-street line
claim right-of-way and cannot under
stand how it was that the cars came into
collision

CLAIMS HIS ARREST IS
THE RESULT OF A JOKE
II. M. Thomtom Says He Took Mrs.
Denton,s Purse With the In
tention Of Returning It.

man who gave his name as III. NJ
Thomtom at the North End Police Sta
tion was arrested last night by Officer
Dugan and charged with grand larceny.
He is accused of having extracted so
from a purse belonging to Mrs. H. 5.
Denton, VINO resides at 1854 Bush street
ThomtOm vigorously denied the charge
and protested that his arrest was the re-
suit of a practical joke which he was try
ing to perpetrate on a friend.
According to the story told to the police
by Mrs. H. S. Denton, the man under ar
rest came to her house yesterday and
requested to see j. Miller, one of her ten
ants. ThOmtOm informed Mrs. Denton
that Miller was friend of his. AS Miller
was not in at the unef that ThomtOm
called, the landlady invited him in to
await Miller's arrival While he was in
the house and before Miner's return. Mrs.
Denton says that she missed purse con-
tanning $50 that was in the room where
ThOmtom was waiting. She accused him
of having taken the purse. He at first de-
MED the accusation, but afterWard pre-
duced the missing article. But Mrs Den
ton claims that when the purse was re-
turned to her $50 of the money was miss
ing.
At the Police Station Thomtom denied
that he had extracted the money and
said that he had taken the purse only
a joke He claimed that he intended
to return it as soon as it was missed.
