Abstract
WHEN a man who has spent an earnest and useful life reaches the mature age of threescore years and ten, it must be a relief to those near and dear to him when his last days are not spent in suffering. The great Swedish explorer's end was in this wise. “His death,” writes his nephew, Dr. Otto Nordenskjöld, “was absolutely sudden; the same day he was working in his laboratory, occupied with great plans in his mineralogical and chemical work.”
