such craftsmanship! These Lords

The Use of Search Lights.

Search lights have become indispen-
sable to steamers of all classes and in
military and naval operations. By
their use objects miles away can be re-
vealed and illumined in the darkest
night and their powerful beams of
light can be thrown in any direction.
One of the earliest applications of the
search light in marine work was to
vessels passing through Suez canal.
Formerly the passage could only be
made in daylight, and was very te-
dious and costly; now the electric light
is at the service of every ship as it en-
ters the canal, and the journey is, in
nearly every case, pursued uninter-
ruptedly. A most excellent innova-
tion has been made by the Suez canal
authorities, who have pronounced that
it shall be obligatory after October
next on all vessels passing through the
canal by light to employ ansapparatus
for dividing the light of the protector
into two divergent rays. Approaching
vessels may, by this means, travel
right up to each other without their
respective helmsmen being blinded.
The diverging apparatus which is to be
used has been devised by one OF the
agents Of the company.

ICELAND LOSING POPULATION.

After . Thousand Years OF Occupation
tho People Are Migrating.
The news from Iceland, brought by
the Gloucester fishing schooner Maggie
E. Mckenzie recently, will interest all
in any way acquainted with that far
off northern island, says the Boston
Traveller. Iceland, as many Amer
leans are aware, has long been losing
in population, and the captain of the
schooner referred to is the authority
for the statement that it is now suffer
ing more in this respect than ever be-
FORE Fully fifteen hundred people, he
says, are to leave the island this year
for the Canadian northwest, and as the
Canadian government will pay their
passage and in other ways enable them
to settle in new and more desirable
homes, the exodus is likely to continue
at lively rate until only few thou
sand Icelanders are left in the bleak
seats of their little division of the
Gothic family.
Iceland's population twenty years
ago was only about seventy thousand,
and can therefore i'll afford to lose any
OF its people. Still, the Icelander can
not be blamed for wishing to emigrate
to more congenial climate. Compar-
ntivelv little of the island is favorable
