Erland NOrdenskiold returned Il
Stockholm during the latter part o
last month after completing his fourtf
exploration expedition to South Amer
lea. His journey has this time beer
as good as through altogether un
known regions between Bolivia ant
BFazil. After leaving the Brazilian
railway Sordenskiold with two com
paniohs, young sergeant by the
name of Anderson and Carl Moberg
rode not less than 1000 miles into the
interior on horseback. They after
wards continued their journey by
canoe for 800 miles. travelling on riv
ers where the scenery was at times
wonderfully beautiful and again ex
ceedingly desOlate. They encountered
many Indian tribes, many Of whom
had never seen White persons before.
: Their expedition lasted fully two
years and Mr.. Nordenskiold, who was
the leader of the expedition and his
two companions, have brought with
them many collections of great arch

even a living and some of them that
he found IN the country districts and
towns, were on the point of starvation.
He urges Swedes to stay away from
Australia If they do not want 70 starve
to death. Mr.. Morner is n Swedish
count, who has. written number of
novels and has travelled extensively.
He is in Australia at present for the
purpose of gathering material for a
new book that he intends to write

The result of the investigations
showing that the Swedish government
had been defrauded by private COM
panies selling lubricating oil to the
navy, will be that the government
will establish an oil factory of its own
In Karlkrona. The new establishment
Will only cost about 10000 crowns and
that's great deal cheaper than be-
Ing defrauded out Of about $4,000
crowns year, which was the case last
year, This time the government pro-
poses not to run any risks and will
therefore have factory of it's own
under the supervision of its own men.

but 1t all works slowly. Wages are not
going to increase very rapidly although
there Is sign of it so far as the rail-
roads are concerned. The scale of
wages of men employed has lately
been having an upward tendency, but
after the wages Of railway employees
have been increased, there will be no |
free passes. So therefore the increase
so far as the employees are concerned
will not amount 10 much.
