tions In Moduml The tanning extract
IL obtained from the nuid sulphite
which forms one Of the waste prod
ucts Of the wood pulp mills, but
which by means Of q process invented
by Hans Landmark. chemical engi-
neer, becomes highly valuable COM
ponent In the tanning industry.
The practical utilization Of tho fuid
sulphite for this purpose comes a. the
result Of experiments covering q long
period Of time. The finished product
II said TO be highly satisfactory. and
firms that have used leather tanned
by the now process have increased
their orders. One Of the largest tam
ming concerns In Germany has en-
dorsed IL very strongly. The new proc
ess gives the leather . lighter color
than usual and makes II more nrmf
and pliable.
The Introduction Of the new process
comes at q time when the European
war has nearly shut on the usual
sources. Germany has put an en-
barge on the expectation of tanning
extracts. and the amount obtainable
In Great Britain II very small The
process furthermore makes possible
the utilization Of o product which
formerly was not only an absolute
waste, but which was destructive to
the life of hsh when run into the
rivers or fjords adjoining the pulp
mills.
The court Of appeals Of England has
handed down q decision against the
Morse Gamers In the famous suit
brought by the sardine Gamers of
France. The French have maintained
all along that the small fish canned
by Morse canneries and sold as sar-
dimes should be known by another
name. not being the same as the
French sardines, and they have stout
ly contended that the Morse Gamers
have derived an unfair advantage by
labelling their products "sardines."
the French having spent many years
and much money In building up the
prestige Of their product The French
have brought suits In different coun-
tries to restrain the Morse Gamers
from using the name "sardines" for
their product, but the Norsemen have
been almost invariably successful In
this litigation until now. The effect
Of the decision of the English court
Of appeals will be that the Norsemen
will market their product under the
name of Shippers" or Norwegian
Brisling."
1t Is reported that the French can
ners will now carry their fight against
the Norsemen to America.
Football has become so popular at
the schools of Norway that one prom
inent paper. the "Vestlandske IT.
dende." has come out with a protest
against the game. on the grounds that
1t is absorbing too much of the stu
dents interest, thus interfering with
their studies.
i Recently there has come to the
front a sport which everywhere
threatens to become pre-eminent, but
which Is not for the BEST" declares
the paper. I'VE are not opposed to
football when played within reason.
but 1t seems that It is 80 easily over
done. at the expense of other sports
and to the injury Of scholastic pur-
suits. In couple Of the most enthusi-
astic football cities in the country we
have seen results in scholastic work
which seem to Indicate that football
has taken precedence over school
work. In one of these cities a con-
siderable percentage of the students
failed. and In the other city, where the
football craze was even more pro-
nounced, the percentage of failures
was quite sinister"
The canning factories of Stavanger
consumed 778,000 bushels of raw
materials during the first half Of the
present year. Most of this was fresh
fish. The stupendous growth of this
industry may be inferred from the
following figures: The entire con-
sumption for the year 1918 was 574,.
900 bushels. and 1,156.000 for the year
| 1914. From January to June rs this
year the total output of canned goods
was 1880 tons as against 10000 tons
for the year 1914. No wonder that
"Stavanger Fiskeboller" can be found
in the grocery stores of nearly every
large city in the world.
Norwegian papers say that steps
are being taken for the preservation
OF the ruins of the st. Maria church
In Sarpsborg. the foundations Of
which were laid by Saint Olaf in the
year 1915, when he founded the city.
Only the foundation walls now re-
main. but these are considered Of
much historical interest as being the
only remains of q church built by Nor.
ways patron saint.
According to press dispatches, Rev.
Chr. Knudsen. minister of church and
education in the Michelsen cabinet
during the dissolution of the union
with Sweden. died July 20 at the age
