eight public automobiles are in service
in Stockholm, which has a population
Of nearly 100000, and which had a few

Poor hay and no grain for the horses,
that was the situation confronting the
farmers Of Skane when the time came
for doing the spring work. Something
unheard of had to be done. And the
farmers we're equal 70 the occasion.
They taught their horses to drink milk.
The horses did not take kindly to the
new diet at first, but after they got
used to it they drank the milk eagerly,
and it gave them strength to do the
spring work.
The Bofors Manufa curing company

FINLAND.

The social democratic congress Of
Finland has adopted resolutions de-
handing the separation of Finland
from Russia and the formation of an
independent republic. Under the plan
proposed Russia would not have the
right to keep troops on Finnish terri
tory in time Of peace or to possess any
Notifications. Economic relations be-
tween Finland and Russia would be
regarded as between foreign countries.
The Finnish social democrats ad-
dressed the social democrats of all
countries, especially Russia, asking
them to support establishment of Fin
lands independence by an internation-
al agreement on the ground that the
Russian government, which is char
acterized as bourgeois, is incapable Of
giving adequate guarantees Of the in
volatility Of Finland's freedom.
A strange figure has taken the stage
III Finland in the person Of Jean Boldt,
who breaches liberty with a fanatics
extravaganza and prophets fervor.
his pulpit is the top of the flight of
45 granite steps leading to the great
doors Of the Emperor Nicholas Luther
an church in Helsingfors. Despite age
and poverty, Boldt breaches liberty
with youthful fire. Stirred by Boldt,
a curious throng, comprising workmen,
peasant women with babies in arms,
students and sailors, invades the neigh
boring landtdag chamber daily and lis
tens eagerly to the proceedings and
speeches.
Another picturesque figure in the
Finnish agitat1ons is Nine. Alexandra
Kollontay, a Russian woman who came
to give Finland greetings from the
Bolschaviki group and to plead for the
Zimmerwald platform. The Bolsch-
avikfsts- derived from a word indicat-
Ing those who demand completeness of
action or, coloquially, "the everything
lists" ARE the radical social democrats
who propose the instant and interna-
honal application Of socialism without
compromise or evasion.
Russian soldiers Of a regiment sta
toned at Helsingfors have written to
the Petrograd workingmen's and SOL
diers' comm'tate protesting against
what they ca1fsd Frances chauvinistic
war aims and saying that the Russian
army can never assist a movement fur
thering annexation and indemnities.
Helsingfors apparently is the head
quarters of a systematic scheme of
Finnish riotous demonstrations engi-
neered by the quasiofficfal disturber of
the peace known as the "uproar man,
The Finnish population is struggling
resentfully with the burden Of provis-

The most important question now
confronting Finland is how to unite the

eminent. Neither side is conciliatory

NORWAY.

Professor Kristian Birkeland is dead.
He was the greatest authority in Nor
way on physical geography and was
best known for his inventions on nj
trogen. He had been successful in the
commercial manltfact Of calcium nj
trate, which is being worked on a
large scale at Notodden. He was the
leader Of Norwegian Aurora Polaris
expedition in 19O2-O3, when he OBJ,
served and named the ''polar elemen-
tary" storm, caused by electromagnetic
disturbances. The life of this man
was cut short at the comparatively
early age of fifty. He was looked upon
by the whole world as one of the fore
most authorities on electromagnetism
and chemistry. His work turned out
to be of great practical value, but the
broodings Of the philosopher we're not
driven out Of him by the din and buzz
of the stupendous manufacturing
plants among the mountains Of south
ern Telemarken. In 1913 he gave a
lecture, in which he drew the outlines
Of new theory of the world, and it
differed so much from other theories
ION the same subject that it is entitled
to be called the Birkeland cosmogony.
The central idea Of his theory is that
the suns of the universe throw out
electrical charges in enormous masses,
and that these actually assume the
: character of material particles, out Of
which the heavenly bodies are formed
The chances are that the world would
have heard much more about this man
If the war had not broken out.

ter to Norway, has resigned and is

Scandinavian dispatches. The Morning

evident. Our big armies and our BIG

transported, and the biggest informa'
