"Stenbock's Kitchen is the name
generally applied to a mound near
Helsingborg. Just now the mound
is receiving great attention among
psychologists and historians. Investi-
cations made by DR.. C. Wibling have
demonstrated that people of very
remote ages have been engaged in
making this mound what it is. Near
the surface were found lances, bull
lets, coins and remains of camp-fres
from comparatively recent dates.
Near the southeast edge of the mound
was buried chamber made of small
stones and containing burnt bones.
This grave dates from the bronze age.
A little farther north was a lower
milestone and bones of person
from the bronze age. In the northern
part of the mound was another burial
chamber made of small, square blocks
of stone, and covered with a slab of
stone. This chamber contained an
urs partly filled with burnt bones
and a ring-formed ornament from the
bronze age. Close by was sacrifcial
stone in which twenty bowl-like hol-
lows had been cut. Zone stone Of
this kind has been found before,
namely, at Lundby, Vestergotland).
Three or four feet north of the sacri-
fetal stone huge stone slab was
found, and on top of this small
stone which contained two boNl-like
hollows. A small flint knife lay close
by. In the middle of the mound was
a large stone slab having the shape of
a sacrificial altar, and close by this
were two pine posts driven into the
ground. An excavation to depth of
four feet north of the sacrificial slab
brought to light stone enclosure,
near the south wall of which was q
large urn and remains of fire. This
! brief account of the find is sufficient
to indicate its Importance to archao-
logy. The Oldest objects in the mound
date back at least 1000 years, the
place having been used for sacrifcial
purposes during the stone age Sophus
Muller, the most prominent archaolo-
gist in Denmark, holds that the pine
posts are remains of support for
idols. The burial chambers are from
the latter bronze age, and must be
about $500 years old.
Oscar Lundgren, principal of the
Billstrom peoples high school in
Torn, proposes the establishment of
| a religio-patriotic school for total alb
stainers in some populous and beauti-
full locality.
The semi-centennial jubilee of the
telegraph system of Sweden was cell
ebrated few days ago.
The Necklenburgian comedy on the
Lung estate, Ostergotland, seems to
be drawing to a close. Frau Won
Mecklenburg, who is staying in Mer-
lin, has just been notified by the Os-
tergotland mortgage union that a
mortgage on her property will be
foreclosed at an early date unless
payments are made to the amount
of $4,000. AS it is not likely that
anybody will step in and save the
property for Frau Won Mecklenourg,
she will have to withdraw from gen.
eral warfare against everybody and
everything in that part of the coun-
try.
Socialdemokraten claims that the
Nobel prizes of $4,000 each will be
distributed as follows: The physics
| prize to Mr.. and Mrs. Curie (France),
the discoverers of the peculiarities of
radium, and Prof. Lenard Germany,
who paved the way for Roentgen; the
chemistry prize to Prof. Arrhenius
| (Sweden); the medical prize to DR..
Finsen (DenmarS), the inventor of
the red chamber" for the cure of
lupus; and the literary prize to Her.
bert Spencer (England), the philo-
sopher. We venture to say that this
is all guess-work.
The waste water from the sugar
factory at Sabyholm is destroying the
| fish along the coast between Land
skrona and Alaboderna. The lime in
the water is precipitated on the shall
lows, and the fish cannot live in such
places. The water is of such i'm
| portance that the fisheries depart
ment has taken it under Amusement.
Buenos Ayres, Nov. 23.-Telegrams
just received here from Santa Cruz
announces the arrival there of the
Argentine gunboat Uruguay with
members of the Swedish Antarctic ex-
petition under Nordenskjold. One
sailor died last winter. With this ex-
ception all the members of the ex-
petition are well. The party was
found divided, some of the members
being at Cape Seymour and the others
at Louis Philippe land. No further
details have been received, but it is
believed the expeditions vessel was
wrecked.
The Helsingborg Industrial exposi-
ton gave surplus of $4,000, and
| this will be greatly increased by the
sale of the buildings.
Of the $7,593,75O of bonds foated
by the Grangesberg mining company,
$4,725 900 was offered for sale at the
Berlin exchange, and the whole
amount was picked up at once.
The coal mines of Skane yielded
304,733 tons, of coal, 1912 tons Of
