Who ever heard of a fox being run
down and killed by a railway train?
This very thing happened the other
day on the ,Upsala and Erkoping rail-
way. The fox thus killed must have
been very stupid, or else very curious.
An earthquake of considerable. vioI

other points in that locality. The
quake was accompanied by a loud
noise. Furniture and other objects
were shaken out of their places.
Remarkable archaeological finds have
been made on the site of the medieval

ton brought to light a burial chamber
six feet long and three feet wide.

FINLAND.

In the Finnish Lappmark, about 200
miles from the northernmost point on
the railway system of Finland, Rova-
niemi, large veins Of gold-bearing ore
were found a few years ago. For lack
of all means of communication these
resources could not be developed un-
til now. when a good wagon road has
been built by the government of Fin
land to a point 40 miles north of Ro-
vanieno. George Sherman, a swedish
American, has organized a syndicate
with a capital of 100000 for the pur-
pose of developing the property. Thir-
ty men have already left for the mine,
and they are equipped for a stay Of

program. so far as Mr.. Meyer was
concerned-inspection of the two new
super dreadnaughts. Arkansas and

most powerful ships in line. They

There are over twenty glass fac

The question Of permitting school
teachers to enter the universities as
regular students was referred to the
philosophical faculty of the University
of Lund. A report has been published.
The faculty maintains that admission
to the universities should not be made
easier than it is at present. But it
is suggested that something be done to
give able school teachers a chance to
continue their studies at the un1ver-
stiles. It might, for instance, be prac-
tical to provide for a postgraduate
course at the normal schools as a STEP
ping stone to the universities.
AS to the identification of the state
railways of Sweden, Director General
Pegelow points out that the electrical
ton of the line from the Kiruna iron
range to the Norwegian boundary line
will be completed only in 1914, and that
1t will take at least one year to make
experiments with the new system on
a large scale. Hence the final step to.
wards a general identification of the
railways cannot be taken in less than
about four years from now. The di-
rector general states that for his own
part he is convinced that the use of
electricity on said line will be Of such
a nature as to warrant a general ap,
plication of the new system.

pain in his hand made him tired, but
his strength was by no means exhaust

Charges of Fraud Refuted.

Prompt and sharp refutation OF Col

favor of Taft. Thus. when Col. Roose-
Welt says he controlled the state outside
the city of Denver he must have made
the statement on uncorroborated mac

His charge that the city or Denver
was controlled for Taft through what
he terms the Evans combi-
nation is refuted by the facts in the case.
Chairman Mcdonald appointed commit

Col Roosevelt Is either grossly mlsln-
formed or is deliberately stating an uli-
truth We contested only fifteen seats
and the Roosevelt people contested $50,
among them the seats of 127 delegates
from the Indianapolis district, who had
been elected at primaries by to- 1

elected delegates being unseated.'
