J TIDINGS FROM SCANDINAVIA News of General Interest from Three Countries. flEDIN'S FIRST LECTURE Explorer Points Out the Most Import ant Results of His Journey into Cen tral Asia to an Audience Which In cluded King Gustaf and the Royal Family and Members of the An thropological and Geographical So cieties. SWEDEN. Dr. Sven Hedin, the famous explor er, delivered his first lecture before a large and distinguished audience, Which included King Gustaf and the royal family and the members of the Anthropological and Geographical so cieties, on his travels in Central Asia. The president of the Swedish Geo graphical society, M. Montelius, the royal antiquary, announced at the opening of the lecture that the society had raised a fund of 10,000 crowns, to be known by the explorer's name, which would be devoted to geographi cal research. On Dr. Hedin was also conferred the Wahlborg medal. In the course of his lecture, Dr. Hedin emphasized as the most important re sults of his last exploration that he had discovered the source of the Indus and drawn up a minute map of this region, and, further, that he had passed through the Trans-Himalaya northwest of Shigatse and penetrated to the holy lakes of Mansavora, where he found several mountains hitherto unknown besides a great and never hitherto visited lake, the greatest of the whole system. He had also estab lished the real direction of the source of the Bramaputra, and he showed that the branch which until now had been regarded as the source, was only an affluent. Finally, he had explored the Trans-Himalaya, both east and west. Parts of both were previously known, but not the connection between them. He had succeeded in solving the prob lem of these mountains, which differed in character from the Himalayas. In this connection it is also of interest to note something regarding the ex plorer's finances. During eleven trips into the interior of Asia, he has ex pended something like 350,000 crowns. His last trip cost him more than 136,- 000 crowns, of which Hedin himself contributed the amount of 65,000 crowns. The contributors to his last trip were the following: King Oscar, 10,000 crowns Emanuel Nobel, 18,000 crowns F. Lowenadler, 10,000 crowns Consul Oscar Ekman, 10,000 crowns Robert Dickson, 10,000 crowns Mr. Ruffer, a Scotch mer chant, 9,900 crowns, and William Ols son, 4,000 crowns. Mr. Ruffer is en tirely unknown to Mr. Hedin, but this generous Scotchman sent the explorer this sum of money out of pure sym pathy and admiration for his work. Re garding the publication of Hedin's scientific works, there have already been many who have evinced great in terest. The riksdag has for this pur pose made an appropriation of 75,000 crowns, but it will cost all of this and a great deal more to publish them. The plucky explorer is about 70,000 crowns' worth in debt, but he hopes through his publication and through lectures to be able to clear up this amount and get a little something over. He has been offered handsome money for his lectures both in the United States and England and he will no doubt now have a splendid opportunity to make some money. The Swedish Export association will this year make an attempt to secure a better control of the export of lingon berries. From many sections of the country there have been complaints against the berry pickers, especially in Smaland, where they in many in stances pick a poor class of berries and give poor measure. The associa tion will endeavor to correct these evils and will, if possible', see to it that a class of first class berries are exported and the correct measures be made. The lingon berries are in great demand in the American, English and German markets and it is an industry from which hundreds of farmers se cure a good livelihood. The preparatory arrangements for the great international hunters' ex hibition which will be held in Vienna in 1910 are now under way.and Swe den has already been invited to par ticipate. A committee has been ap pointed and the Swedish exhibition in this line is going to be an elaborate one. Fredrik Bjorkenstam has been appointed commissioner for the Swed ish exhibit and will leave for Vienna this month to make the necessary ar rangements for Sweden's exhibit. Both chambers of the riksdag passed a bill Feb. 13, poviding for universal suffrage with proportionate representa tion in the parliament. All the in habitants of the country over twenty four years of age are now entitled to vote. The bill passed the first cham ber by a vote of 120 to 98, and the sec ond by 134 to 94. A number of counterfeit coins are at present in general circulation in the southern part of the country, es pecially in Malmao. In spite of' the most rigid investigation on the part of detectives and others, the clever coun terfeiters have not been caught and more spurious coins are detected every day. The Prince and Princess of Teck arrived in Stockholm Feb. 4 and are guests at, the royal palace. ?I'X^^'^" -C ^NORWAY. Paper money to the amount of 19,000 crowns which was burned on the steamer "Lindholmen" in 1907 and which the postoffice department de manded that the Bank of Norway should pay, because it deemed that in stitution responsible for the money, has been informed by the directors of the bank that the Bank of Norway does not consider itself responsible for that sum and that it is up to the gov ernment, through the postoffice depart ment, to make good the amount. The directors of the bank maintain that as long as the money was sent to its des tination through the postoffice chan nels that the government is the party which is directly responsible for the amount. Speaking recently of the outlines of his new attempt to reach the north pole, Explorer Amundsen says: "I propose to start early next season and to be absent five or six years. There is no secret at all about the route I propose to follow. My object, as I have said, is to cross the polar basin, entering at Bering straits and explor ing slowly and thoroughly wherever possible. I am adopting no new meth odsno airships, balloons or motors but simply using the old system, which we know and have tried, name ly, a good vessel, good sledges and good dogs." Architect Holland has presented his new plans for a hall In which the Viking ships are to be placed in Mis sebjerget. When completed the hall will cost about 175,000 crowns. Mr. Holland's plans have been favorably received and contributions for this pur pose have been coming in large amounts from all parts of the country and even from America. Anthony Fiala, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who led the Ziegler polar expedition in 1903-1905, hired a steamer a few days ago in Tromsoe and will from there make the journey to Spetsbergen. The crew consists of experienced seamen fom Tromoe. The trip to Spetsber gen will be made in order to complete the preliminary arrangements for an other expedition to the north pole. The Norwegian government has in this year's budget set aside a set of 1,500 crown stipendiates for foreign study tours for Norwegian journalists. For a number of years the privilege has been offered the journalists, ex cept during the years 1896-1903, when they were annually allowed traveling stipendiates, amounting each to 2,000 crowns. The Scandinavian-American line's steamer "C. F. Tietgen," which left New York the 9th inst., was stranded a week ago last Sunday at the en trance to the harbor of Christiansand. The following Wednesday the vessel was extricated from its unpleasant po sition and continued the journey to Christiania. Miss Elizabeth Astrup has donated 1.000 crowns to the sanatorium for poor people suffering from tuberculosis up in Romsdalen. This institution has been the object of many generous sub scriptions lately and will when com pleted be one of the.finest sanatoriums in the country. Invitation has been sent to several of Norway's leading politicians within the so-called liberal "venstre party" rearding the organization of a middle "venstre" party, which is to rally around Ex-Premier Michelsen and have as its chief organ the "Verdens Gang" (Christiania). During last year the Bergen theater gave 227 performances, which netted the managers 106,000 crowns. The new theater will not be completed un til the first week in March, and not during the early part of this month, as was at first reported. The court ball which was given at the royal palace on the evening of Jan. 27 was attended by the elite of Christi ania society and a large number of high functionaries. The "Aftenposten" gives a list of the distinguished guests. DENMARK. Professor Knut Wicksell, the emi nent Swedish lecturer and the man who recently was summoned in court for using blasphemous language and compelled to pay a substantial fine therefor, gave a lecture in Copenhagen the other day at the "Folketshus" and was most enthusiastically received. The lecturer criticised Marx' doctrines on socialism and claimed that the im poverished condition of Denmark's poor would not be in any way allevi ated if the government were allowed to make the distribution* of property and food. Then he touched upon his favorite theme known as the "two child system," and stated that young men and women should be allowed to marry when they were respectively twenty-one and seventeen years old, but that they should not be allowed to have any children until they were thir ty years old and over. At this point of the lecture Mr. Wicksell was voci ferously applauded by the large au dience. The so-called Danish "fack-foreni gar" distributed 11,000 crowns in cash and foodstuffs to the amount of 19,000 crowns to 7,000 impoverished people last month. It soon became evident that this amount was not sufficient and there are still many who are suffering for want of food and clothes. There was an auction the other day on Alberti's personal property and for some of the articles curious-minded purchasers paid twice what they were actually worth. There was an un usually large crowd of people present at the auction. Dr. Sven Hedin hag accepted the in vitation of the Geographical society of Copenhagen and will lecture there some time during the latter part of April. MARION S. NORELIUS.
