WAS FIRST NORWEGIAN BOOK
Distinction Is Claimed for One Printed in New York City
 in 1852.

Madison, Wis.-A copy of the first Norwegian book printed in America has just been discovered in Beloit, Wis, by H. L. Skavlem of Janesville Wis, Norwegian antiquarian, nat uralist and author.
 This first book was reprint of Pon- toppidan's "Forklaring." sort of ex- banded catechism of the Lutheran creed. and was printed in New York city in 1852 under the direction of FL ling Eielson, pioneer Norwegian evangelist and the first Norwegian Lu- theran minister to be ordained in America.
 For some time it was uncertain as to which was the first Norwegian book printed in this country. Some years ago, however, Prof Rasmus B. Ander- son. former United States minister to Denmark. came across a reference made by Eielson to book printed by him in the early 40's and concluded that such publication was entitled to the credit of priority.
 Recently Skavlem had occasion to visit an aged woman Tn Beloit and saw lying on the center table in her home a copy of the much-destred book which had been handed down in her family and carefully preserved.

ORIGIN 0F BAY0NET
Invention of Prlzed Weapon of
 France Is Uncertain.
Women of Bayonne Said to Have Con- trived Dimnutive Spear for Use on the Ramparts-May Be
 Basque invention.

Paris. France-A Paris newspaper publishes the following:
 The bayonet continues to be pre- eminently the French weapon Of war. In deeds of pure glory it goes side by side with the '75. Like the latter. it inspires our soldiers with confi- dence Never has any troop, of any force, experience or valor, resisted our infantry charging with the bayonet.
 And yet no one knows to whom we are indebted for this irresistible weapon One would like to venerate the man who has placed this jewel of war in the hands of the French sol dier.
 "The bayonet, according to some historians whose thesis Lttre made popular by reproducing 1t in his dic- tionary, Is of Spanish importation. It crossed the Pyrenees to come and fm- mortalize itself in France, as did the Gid. It Is true that in the Spanish vo- cabulary there Is the bayoneta, mean ing small scabbard. What then?
 There Is more likelihood of truth in the narrative which mentions Bay onne as the home town of the bay. onet. tale from the South of France gives an account of it's birth which, if not vigorously true, is very pretty
 Tt was, 80 the story goes, during the siege sustained by Bayonne in 1923 against the allied kings af England and Aragon that the women of this city, courageously taking 1t upon them selves to defend it's ramparts. in- vented the bayonet.
 Other historians assert that the Basques invented the bayonet fn cir cumstances not less heroic. They had been fighting against the Spanish for hours. Their ammunition was ex- hausted. while their courage still held out. To conquer in spite of this they affixed their knives in the ends of their guns, and, thus armed, hurled them, selves on the enemy, who fled in ter. TOT.
 General Marion used the bayonet in 1641 and Gassendi in 167t.
 ITO relate the heroic charges in which our soldiers have immortalized the bayonet would be to mention al most all the battles in which the French army fought, It was Cheyert who, in reply to soldier who complained Of being short of powder, said: What does it matter? Haven't we the bayonet? It was Dupont, in 1901, who overthrow 45,000 Austrians with 14,000 men at the mill of Volta
 -In 1915, our infantTymen, perpetu. ating the glory won by their elders continue to give the bayonet their con. ddence and their affection.
