Most of Sweden's runic stones
will soon be scientifically inter-
preted. The Runic Committee of
the Swedish Academy of Science
has published. three volumes on
the province of Upland, which
contains more of these relics from
the early Viking days than any
other part of Sweden, and a
fourth volume will be published
this fall. BY that time, the num-
Der of Upland runic stones that
have been translated and explain
ed will reach 921. There will then
remain only about one hundred
stones unexamined. When they
have been subjected to scientific
research, the greatest part of
Sweden's runic treasures will be
available to the public, thereby
shedding new and important light
on the history of the Swedish Vik-
ings. The research is being con-

The first plans for the new

in 1915 by a prominent lawyer,
Hieronymus Heyerdahl, who at
that time was chairman of Oslo's
City Council Mayor. Mr.. Heyer-
dahl had quietly solicited private
gifts to the amount of kr. Ills, 900

the city authorities.
The plan won wholehearted ac-
claim for several reasons. In the

DICTIONARY

A new, revised, and modernized
Swedish dictionary will be pub

this summer. The work, the ninth
edition, will contain about 200,-
600 words, or twice as many as
the 1928 edition, and 100, 900 more
than the 1900 edition. The in

compound words, at the same time
