day the number and amount of mortgages real estate
in each ward with the date Of the record In each case

task and that could not be performed In less than
twelve months.
Alderman BnYcr could not nee tho advantage to be
gained by such procedure Many persons might feel
delicate about the amount OF their property being
published
Aldermen DoHrRTY thought they could not ask the
Register 10 furnish such matter II would cost more
than 81 00o 10 make such report and he believed the
Register would refuse TO furnish II without they agreed TO
pay him for IL and il would take ELK months to do that

their mountains are clad in eternal SHOWS, and some
pour out rivers OF fire several times every century.
Hekla is the most remarkable and conspicuous vol
canoe in Iceland, and not more than seventysev
years have passed at time since the country
settled, without its being in state OF activity. Its
last eruption was in 1915, and at the time of my
visit in 1852 seven years after the long black river
of lava that run out had not done spoking. In
its effects and the amount of lava thrown out at
one time the eruption OF Heka never equalled
that Of Skaptar J0kull in 1888. A brief notice of
this eruption may not be out OF place. About
month previous to its commencement, in May, q vol.
canO rose up from the bottom Of the sea- more than
seventy miles from land, to the southwest Of Cape
Reikianess, the southwestern point of the island,
and over hundred and fifty miles from this noun
tain. This was one OF the most remarkable SUBJ
marine ernptions ever recorded. 1t formed an
island Of considerable size, and elected vast guam
titles of pumice a light volcanic substance that
hoated on the surface Of the water II covered the
sea for more than one hundred and fifty miles, and
in such vast quantities that ships were retarded in
their progress while sailing by the coast. The sea-
birds paused and screamed in their wheeling fight,
and the more adventurous took ride on new vol
canic raft. His Danish Majesty, on hearing of q
creation of territory near his ancient possession
of Iceland sent ship with orders for its Immediate
annexation. The commander took formal pos
session of it, in the name OF the king. Bat
the end was not yet Man proposes but ID
disposes. The flag of Denmark had not waved
above It for twelvemonth, before it sank

II was often so dark in the middle of the day that
sheet Of white paper could not be seen when held

covered the land. IL poisoned the vegetation, de-
stroying every green thing where 1t fell Fortunate

that the squads should remain at any place for

propliey in weakening the police by detailing Do

made the duty of policemen TO attend at such place
but that section Of the law has since been repealed ia

charge such duties 1t is therefore proposed that the
duties Of policemen be confined to the criminal business
The decided advantages of this plan over the present
