Delan, the learned Swedish scien-
light by the use of acetone gas. 1t
Is being adopted by various govern
nents, and is being placed on coasts
and islands, and especially at points
where the weather is clear most of the
time, as there is delicate contrivance
connected with the lamps that is SEN
sitive to the light of the sun, and
which will, when the suns rays
strike it, extinguish the lamp, and
then when the sun sets the light will
come on again. In foggy or dismal
atmosphere the light is continuous.
1t is very brilliant light, and is said
to be the cheapest and most reliable
light of the more powerful kinds. The
matter of securing the very best pos
sible light for dangerous points on
coasts has occupied the attention of
mechanics for years.
The Swedish government has now
Informed the Persian legation at

The Kolnische Zeitung states that
the official German telegraph bureau
corrupted the language of the toast
proposed by King Gustaf in Rome. He
used the expression, "the proclama-
tion of Rome as the capital" but in
the German telegram the words had
been changed to the proclama-
tion of the kingdom of Italy" The re-
port of King Victor Emranuels ad-
dress left out few words referring
to "Sweden's heroic participation in
the Thirty Years war"
Professor H. w. Schofeld of Har-
ward university has arrived at Stock
holm for the purpose of arranging for

Harvard and other leading American
universities, whereas the American

sentatives to the universities of Lund
and Upsala.

"The Swedish Settlement on the
Delaware; Their History and Relation
to the English and the Dutch" is the
name of a two volume history just

States where Swedish settlements
predominate.
A great song festival will be held in
connection with the Olympian games
in Stockholm next summer. July II

men, or about one man to nearly f.
900 population.
