Carl Gustaf Patrik de Laval, known
throughout the world as the inventor
of the cream separator, who died last
month at his home In Stockholm, was
best known for his Aforementioned in
vention of centrifugal cream separa-
tors, but his activities were by no
means confined to their development.
He was one Of the most prolific and
versatile of the worlds greatest In
ventors and in addition to his inven-
ton of the first cream separator he
achieved notable success in various
fields of scientific endeavor and prac-
tical usefulness. Shortly after his in
vention for separating cream from
milk by means of centrifugal churn
he produced an emulser, a mechanical
COW mixer, new form of lamp, a
frictionless vessel, an explosion-proof
steam boiler and a process for extract
ing metals from ore by means of cleo
trically developed magnetism, in fact
he was tireless in his activity in work
ing out unsolved mechanical problems
of every kind, and until the very last
he continued actively at work in his
experimentation of old and new prof.
ects, his brain as fertile and his energy
as unremitting as ever. Many honors
were bestowed upon DR.. Laval. He
received from the king of Sweden the
cross of the commander of. the Order
of Vasa and that of knight of the Or
Ter of the North Star. He was made
a member of the Academy of Sciences
in 1886 and received the academy's
gold medal in 1892. In 1896 he was
made an honorary member of the Ag-
ricultural academy in Sweden and in
1904 the Engineers society of Ger
many unanimously awarded him a
gold medal for his pioneer develop
ment of the steam turbine. Few men
have conferred more lasting benefits
upon mankind than DR.. Laval. The
cream separator and the milk tester,
both conceived by him, though fur
ther developed by others, have alone
saved billions of dollars to the worlds
dairy interests and largely made pos
sible the wide use of dairy products
as we know them today. DR.. de Laval
we'll deserved the comparison SO often
made of him with Americas great
Edison. AS the inventions of Edison
have made possible the tremendous
advance in the development of cleo.
tricity and it's practical application,
SO dairy machines invented by: Dr. de
Laval have made possible the equally
wonderful progress in the last TWEEN
ty-nine years in the field of dairying,
and DR.. de Laval has rightly been
called ''the Edison of dairying."
1T has long been KNOWN" says The
Lutheran, in it's issue of March IL,
that much of the light literature Of
France was not fit for decent people
to read. Writers of other countries
also are known to cater to the bad in
man for filthy lucre's sake. Our own
country has had to pass laws prohibit
ing the use of the mails in distribu-
ton Of this kind of literature More
than this, attempts are made to find a
sale for it among the Swedes in Amer
lea. The Augustana has frequently
warned against it's distribution in this
country, and has refused to receive
advertisements Of it in it's columns.
The editor has recently been taken to
task in an article in one of the Chica-
go papers (Swedish) for his clannish-
ness in refusing to accept an adver.
tisement of some Christmas literature
of this sort. In his reply the editor of
the Augustana confesses that he is
guilty and gives as his reason for re.
fusing the advertisement the fact that
on the last page of the sample copy
was stamped the following: This
