20-2 RECOLLECTIONS OP
of their dwellings • but it is not sufficient to have warmth, this
must be obtained at a low cost especially for the poor who
require it most, and have least to expend in procuring it.
Akerlind has supplied this want with his apparatus shown
in one of Vasa's rooms. This stove, intended for the working
classes, consumes equally well wood, coal and turf; with a
very small quantity of fuel it spreads a pleasant warmth in
the apartment, and supplies at the same time a kitchen furnace
in which the labourer's wife can prepare her husband's dinner.
By the side of this we find a Norwegian house, a good
type of these northern structures where wood is the chief
material employed ; therein is collected a complete assortment
of fishing implements, and all that concerns navigation.
We are surprised to notice Sweden so badly represented in
the Machine Gallery; for a country which supplies all
parts of the world with iron, it appears to make very little
use of it at home. We find nothing but an iron tower from
the mechanical workshops of Arboga, a pump from that of
Matala, and a powerful machine for drilling holes in mines
by Bergstrone, of Filipstad ; on the other hand we have ninety-
seven exhibitors in the section of mines and metallurgy.
Utansive, Alkvettern, Borgvik, Fredriksberg, Storfors, Fors-
backa, Hellefors, Smedjebacken, Oelsboda, Laxa, Svana,
Quarntorp, and many more compete with each other for the
beauty of their ores, castings, and rolled bars ; these iron-
works extend as far as Lulea in Lapland, some specimens
from which place are shown.
Bessemer's process for casting steel appears to be very
generally adopted in Sweden ; it is used to make those very
of their dwellings • but it is not sufficient to have warmth, this
