Owing to the increasing Importance
of the Norwegian whaling industry
along the west coast of Africa, Nor

Jacob Sandungen, tenant farmer,
cut his knee so that he was unable to
work in the woods with the other men.
But he had to spend his time out Of
doors, and as he sat watching the
trout spawning in creek he thought
he might play practical joke on the
community. He went to his house and
got a net, and by means of this he
caught some fish of both sexes, and
squeezed spawn and milk out of them
into bucket Of water. He emptied
the bucket into a little lake in which
there was no fish, and a few years
later the lake swarmed with trout.
Sandungen offered to plant fish in 9th
er lakes, and one fine day the govern.
ment appointed him to continue his
work on a more extensive scale. San
dungen became the originator of the
fish Matching industry in Norway.
Captain Hovland's telegraph type
writer seems to be a success. A type
writer is attached to each end of tho
wire. Where the transmitter presses
a certain letter the corresponding let
ter drops out at the receiving station
and the message can be read directly.
The right of manufacturing the type
writer for. wireless messages has
been acquired by the Berlin Telefunk,
and the manufacture is in full swing
at German factory. But the right
has been reserved for the Norwegian
navy - make apparatuses for it's own
use. 1t IS supposed that the machines
will be or the market next summer.
Tests have proved that the system
works for the SAM distance as the
Morse wireless telegraph, and it works
Just as fast. The type-printing appa-
ratuses keep the correspondence sec
ret, and all future inventions for keep
ing kilograms secret can be used for
Hovland's apparatus, which can be at.
tached to any existing Autobiography
plant. The handling Of the type-print.
ing apparatus IL very simple, and
practice of a few hours will enable
any intelligent person to use it. The
inventor is at present engaged in
making experiments for wireless
steering Of vessels at sea.
It must be recalled that Norway and
Denmark had a little war with Trip0
