and imperfect. The invention Of Prof
Miller directly photographs the sound

date 1859. Mr. Holland Is curator OF
the Sons Of Norway Historical
Archives, and the Rhinestone so.cdled.
which has been placed on exhibition
IN the rooms OF the Chicago Historical
society, was found in Douglas county.
Minnesota. Copies of the inscription
and photographs have been sent to
the University of Christiana, where
no valid criticism of its authenticity
was offered The inscription as trans
lated reads as follows:
Eight Goths and ~ Norwegians
upon voyage of discovery from Vim
land westward
We had camp by two skcrries,
one days journey north from this
stone. We were out fishing one day.
When we returned we found ten men
red with blood and dead. ave Maria,

We have ten men by the sea to
look after our vessel, 4 days journey
from this island, year 1862"
The language, AS explained by the
translator, is that of early times in
southern Sweden. and is not greatly
different from the Norwegian Ian
guage of the present time. The stone
is in an excellent state of preserva-
ton, and most of the characters are
perfect
