The Duke and Duchess of Soderman-
land, who during the greater part of
March have been travelling in various
parts of India, were during the latter
part of March the guests Of the gov
ernor general and his wife at Bonn
bay. There they enjoyed a good rest
after their extensive journey through
India, where they visited not less than
nine cities in the space of n month.
At Bombay they visited all the places
of interest, such as the Silent Tower"
and the grotto temple "Elefanta."
Wherever they journeyed they
very Hospitality received and have in
nearly all instances been entertained
by the officials of the British govern
ment. At a recent charity entertain
ment that was given in Bombay the
box which was occupied by the duke
and duchess was decorated in the
Swedish colors and when they entered
and left the theater Swedish national
airs were rendered. Through their
entire trip through India it is a sim
gular thing that Swedish butter has
been served on their table. The direct
reason for this is that n Of the own
ers of India's greatest and most pros
porous dairy is a Swede by the name
of Edward Keventor, whose dairy in
dustry at Aligarh is one of the great
est institutions of it's kind in all In
dia. So popular has Swedish butter
become in this vast empire that it is
in constant demand and he has sue
ceeded in expanding his business to
such proportions during the past ten
years that he is now a millionaire
several times over. On March % the
duke and duchess arrived at Ceylon
and later departed for Nice and Ma
pies, where at the latter city they
were the guests of the king and queen
Of Italy. They have now returned to
Stockholm, where they were received
with open arms after their long jour-
ney in India and the Southern Euro
pean countries. The duke and duchess
are very popular in Stockholm and
there was a large crowd at the Central
station to greet them on their return.

princess has fine artistic talent and re-
Gently she has been exhibiting her pro-
auctions in London, where her works
of art have commanded a great deal Of
attention from the public as well as
from competent art critics. The young
artist referred to is the Princess Pa
tricia, who is at present with her par
ents, the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught, the former being governor
general Of Canada. One of the paint
ings that she is exhibiting is a scenery
view from Ottawa, Canada, where the
natural scenery is said to resemble
that Of Sweden in a very high degree.
1t was for this reason, a y the sister
of Princess Patricia, who is the crown
princess OF Sweden, that the former

painting. Princess Patricia has been
In Sweden and has travelled extensive
ly In the northern section of the coun-
try and has on more than one occa-
sion expressed her preference for

journey to the northern section of
Sweden where she can find the motifs
that she loves to portray. Her Cana
dian painting which is now On exhi-
bition in London will soon make its
appearance in New York art museums,
where it is SUI to find many admirers.

Mat!n (Paris) DIR. Svante Arrhenius.
the scientist, has developed a mighty
interesting theory in the field of cleo
tricity. which will certainly cause a
great deal of persistent inquiry in the
future on the part of investigating
electricians, inventors and scientists.
The French journal relates that DIR.
Arrhenius contends that while the
limit for electrical Investigations so
Tar as nature is concerned are far from
exhausted there is no reason why
there should not also be a field for
electric investigation SO far as the
physical body of human beings is con-
cerned. The journal states further
that DR.. Arrhenius relates an cleo
trical experiment which was made
with school children of Stockholm not
long ago. which brought forth the re-
suit that by e Of the injection OF
electricity into the human system the
minds OF the subjects quickened con
siderably and that 1t proved, at least
for the time being. that such scholars
were brighter and more conceptive
than the ordinary scholars. Anyway
