Norway.

Norwegians in America, In common
with the people OF Norway, received
with sincere regret news OF the death
of DR.. A. Christian Bang. bishop of
Christiania and primate of the church
OF Norway. who passed away Decem-
Der 20, 1913. He was well known in
America because of his visit of 1908.
when he brought greetings from the
mother church of Norway to the Nor
wegian Lutheran churches of this
country. AS special envoy of King
Haakon he at the same time decorated
Prof. Sven Oftedal, late of Minneapo-
lis; DR.. T. II. Dahl, president Of the
united church, and DR.. Laur Larson of
Decaroh, Ia, with the order of st. Olaf.
1t Is generally agreed that Doctor
Bang was one of the greatest men in
the church OF Norway. or great nat
ural talent and capacity for work, be
became one OF the foremost writer's on
religious and church-historical sub
jects in the country. He was born in
Naesne, Nordland, In northern Nor
way, where his father was farmer
and fisherman. When his son was
seven years old the elder Bang per-
was left with considerable means, and
was able to give her son the best of
education. In 1862 Bang graduated
from the University of Christiania and
five years later he was ordained to the
ministry His rise In the church from
that time on was steady and rapid,
and in 1893 he entered the cabinet Of
Emil Stang as minister Of church and
education. In 1896 he was created
bishop.
The last issue of the Scientific Amer
lean contains detailed description Of
the new war invention OF n. w. Aasen,
a Norwegian engineer. The invention
is described as terrible engine of de-
struction, making of less consequence
the bravery and efficiency of the indi
vidual soldier and tending, like artil-
lery and Mauser bullets, to make war
the pitting against each other of dead
ly machines. The invention is a gren-
ade, weighing nine pounds exclusive
of It's accessories, and contains 400
porjectiles and IL ounces of extremely
powerful explosive. 1t is buried be-
meath the surface of the ground, over
which the hostile army is expected to
march, and is connected with an under
ground cable. When the electric cur.
rent is turned on the grenade springs
automatically three feet above the
ground and discharges its deadly pro-
jectiles horizontally in all directions.
The power of the explosive is so great
that the projectiles are driven through
a four-inch wooden plank and for sew
eral hundred yards in all directions
soldiers would be moved down as II
by huge sickle.
A Christiania correspondent writes
that Norway will probably be the only
country in the world having a double
track railroad consisting of one broad
gauge and one narrow gauge track.
The railroad between Christiania and
Drammen cannot carry the increasing
traffic any more with its narrow gauge
tracks, and is to be altered to broad
gauge. The authorities have decided
to alter one track at time. Each
track will require one year, SO for two
years we will be treated to the spec
tacle of double track road running
it's two different kinds of trains for
ward and backward each on their owl
rails.

The best proof Of this, says the pro-
