GOOD many scientific men are COM
ing to the conclusion that Iceland is
gradually becoming uninhabitable, and
The question is, what are the Icelanders
going to do about it? To be frozen out of
ones native land is 3 cruel fate indeed.
The people are beginning to face the
issue themselves and already there 5000
IceIanders in tina Canadian northwest,
with constant additions. They are a
hardy, thrifty race and are good material
for developing hitherto unsettled tracts.
They have sort of claim on this coun-
try, too, if the alleged Icelandic discovery
of America is true.

THE new Australian law respecting
Chinese immigration has at length re-
ceived the royal sanction. It prohibits
Chinese naturalization and provides that
all unnaturalized Chinaman leaving the
colony shall, on their return, be subjected
to the provisions of the act. No vessel is
allowed to carry immigrants in excess of
one to every 200 tons of the ships burden.
The poll tax is established at 91O0, and
the penalty for attempting to evade it is
$50. The law also forbids Cinnamon to
engage in mining without the authority
of the Minister of Mines.

CHICAGO burns its garbage in a big
orematory, instead of dumping it or
burying it, and the result is great gain
in the health of the city. Disease germs
no longer find chance for vigorous
growth in the heaps of decaying refuse,
and therc is freedom from offensive
odors. The cost of maintaining the
crematory is considerable, and would
prove drawback in smaller cities. The
first cost of the Chicago furnace, which
was built only a few months ago, was
$4,000. During the month of May 1867
tons of refuse were consumed at cost OF
S517, and in June 2678 tons were consum.
ed at cost of $500. Prominent physi-
clans of Chicago advocate the establish
ment of three other garbage crematories
in the north, south and southwest parts
of the city.

The scheme of tunneling under the
English channel, in spite of being
knocked in the head year after year by
the British parliament, is sure to be car
ried out in time. So at least thinks Leon
Say, president of the French submarine
tunnel railway company, who regrets the
English lack of sympathy with the plan,
and declares that Lords Derby and Bea-
consfeld approved of submarine com
munication between England and France.
NJ. Say speaks confidently of the finan-
cial success of the project. Heavy as
well as light goods could be carried and
there would be no obstructive difference
of gauge between the English and French
railways. NJ. Say comes of family of
Publicists and men OF affairs, so that his
opinion that England should seek closer
relations with France is worth noting. He
points out that in few years England is
very likely to be involved in difficulties
with Germany over colonial affairs; and
that Russia and Germany, if they come
TO terms. can make England's continued
occupation of Egypt impossible. The
invasion scare in England is lightly treat
ed by Nj. Say, and he speaks slightingIy
of the ability of the English generals.
To show the enormous cost of the under
taking, it may be mentioned that $780,
has already been spent in preliminary
whole state of the English position on
the channel and many other matters by
saving, The English are given to de-
pending too much on ready-made opin-
ipn."

St. Petersburg is European, and half

to be IN some sort of association with the
evils and vices of the west. But Moscow
has its own miseries, and they are so in

has In so short period gained the rep
utation and popularity enjoyed by the
WISCONSIN CENTRAL LINE. From
n comparatively unknown factor in the
commercial world, it has been trans
formed to an Independent, influential,
grand Through Route, with magnif-
cent depots, superb equipments and I'M
surpassed terminal facilities. Through
careful catering to details, it has won
for itself reputation for solidity, safety,
convenience and attention to its pat
rons, second to no railroad in the
country. Pullman sleepers, models of
palatial comfort, dining cars in which
the cuisine and general appointments
are up to the highest standard, and
coaches especially built for this route,
are among the chief elements which
have contributed towards catering sue
cessfully to q discriminating public.
Located directly on its line, between
Chicago and Milwaukee, and ST. Paul
and Minneapolis, and Chicago and Ash
land and Duluth, are the following thriv-
ing cities of Wisconsin and Michigan:
Burlington, Waukesha. Fond du Lac,

A PECULIAR AILMENT.
The Sightseer's Headache the Result OF Con
tinued Observation.



Of the lighter penalties which pleasure
entails none probably is more widely
known and felt or more persistently en-
dured than the sightseer's headache. 1t
is natures tax levied on the comfort of
that great body of busy i6Iers TO which
we all at some time Or other belong. 1t
is epidemic among the trequenters of
museums, picture galleries, and exhibi-
tons. The very general prevalence of
this variety OF headache, and its indie
pendence in many instances of any vita
tion of atmosphere teach US TO look for
its explanation IN other causes. The
effort of mind implied IN long continued
observation, even though this does not
involve the strain of study, has probably
an appreciatlve, though secondary in
1uence. Fatigue certainly has an import
ant share in it's production; but it is with
most persons rather fatigue of muscle
than of brain. The maintenance of the
upright posture during several hours of
languid locOmOtiOn, and varied and fire.
quent movements of the head commonly
III an upward direction, and the similar
and equal restlessness of eyes whose
focus of vision shifts at every turn as d
new object presents itself, form a com
bined series of forces more powerful in
this respect than the sunlight and fire.
quent changes of mental interest and at
tention by which they are accompanied.
The muscular strain implied in these
movements is necessarily very consider
able. 1t affects more or less every mem.
Der of the body, but the distant localiza-
ton OF the resulting ache has probably
much so do with the usual activity of the
cerVi eal extensor and rotator muscles and
OF the muscles which move the eyebgN
Whatever the minor Influences at work.
therefore, there can be little doubt that
mere fatigue is primarily accountable
for this most general form of headache,
and that rest and noGrishment are most
reliable antidotes. The utility of stimu-
lants for this purpose is necessarily tenn
pora.y and deceptive. One improvement
on existing arrangements ought to be of
real assistance to the suffering sIghtseer
if more generally introduced by RESPONSE
BE authorities. The comparative scar
city of seats in many places of amase-
ment has Otter. been noticed. 1t would
be much to the public advantage if this
want was supplied. For the attendants
at exhibition stalls chair for occasional
use is an absolute necessity.

example of Oriental folly. He started to
connect Teheran and the shores of the
Caspian by rail, but instead of beginning
at the seashore and working along, on the

terial carried by mules across the desert
to Teheran. The whole cost so far has
ly half was for transportations.

TIE NEED OF V6sIENDS.

Several correspondents have asked

in ten years from the date OF it's pas
sage. and tue supplement- naturally goes

This consideration should make Cali
forninns especially careful Of their votes
this year. If we re-elect Cleveland, the
expiration of the law will not give us
the slightest inconvenience. With such
