Some Facts About This Interesting Coun-
try Told by Lady Traveller.
Nursk Is the language Of the country. II
Is pure old Norwegian. In Scandinavia
Ioelandic is taught In The schools as a
classic, and every ScapdinAvian student has
read some OF the toolandio sagas, the
greater part Of which no understands from
the similarity TO his own tongue.
Iceland today Is far behind civilization.
It is a peep into tho past TO find living
people grinding corn With the same kind Of
huge stones as In the ancient world, weav-
ing their own clothing and linen In hand
looms, and ohurning butter in the tall,
old fashioned churns worked by pulling a
rod up and down by hand. Money Is of
little value, barter remains the chief means
for the exchange Of goods.
There Is no telegrnphic communication
with the island, and during the six months
OF the year IL Is icebound the Icelanders
are entirely cut of from the outside world
They are 30 left to indoor occupations dur
ing the winters darkness that education
reaches a very high standard. Every one
in the island can read and write, and many
Of the peasants understand another Ian.
guage besides their own, although many
well known works have been translated
into lcel1ndic.
From May to September there is no night
in Iceland, and the midnight sun is visible
during July and August. Eternal daylight
sounds charming, but trying to sleep in a
tent in the light of day Is not so charming
in practice. The want of night, of the
moon, Of stars, makes the constant light
very monotouous and trying, but nothing
to what an equal length OF darkness must
be TO the poor natives.
Men always kiss when they meet, but
only once saw man kiss a woman. Up
country every one shakes hands or takes
off the cap TO any one they may meet OF
the lonely path and wishes them godspeed
on their way. They are polite, but they
rarely smile
Walking is impossible, the lava and
scoria are too hard for the feet and the dis
tances too great. The natives always ride
and the women generally ride astridc.

Saving Timo and Labor.

A Machine Devised by q Farmer foa
Saving Timo and Labor.
With the object of saving time and
the back breaking labor OF soooping up
grain into sacks when cleaning it fol
market, an ingenious farmer has con
structed q machine, which Is illustrated
and described in Rural New Yorker
substantially as follows: It is shown IL
perspective at Fig. 1. The elevator shaft
is six feet long, raised three feet above
the floor at its upper end and resting or
q 2-inch board at the lower. The side,
Of this elevator are eight inches apart In.
side measure, and should be about the
same in depth. A roller 81 inches in di.
ameter is fixed at each end, as shown in
sectiorat Fig. 9. The shaft of the lower,
upon which the driving pulley is fast.
ened, extends two feet beyond the body
of the elevator and rests at its outer end
in a block mortised into the G-inch
foundation piece (see Fig. y. The pull.
ley on this shaft should not be more thar
2h inches in diameter.
Within the elevator, extending from
one roller to the other, is a smooth floor
its upper surface on line with the up
per edge Of the rollers, and each end hol
lowed beneath, that it may fit closely tC
the roller; but it should not be made
to touch. (See section Az The lower
board (B) of the elevator serves princi
pally to strengthen the machine, and
