How Iceland Was Discovered.

According to Pliny, Iceland "is an
island in the northern ocean discovered
by Prytheas (3S4-322 B. G. J." A col
ony from Britain is said to have settled
there in the beginning of the fifth CEN
tury. The Venerable Bede gives a pretty
accurate description of the island. We
must therefore conclude that Iceland
was known in the seventh century, but
the Iceland chronicles go no further
back than the arrival of the Norwegians.
They relate that Naddodr, famous
Norwegian pirate, was driven on the
coast of Iceland in SOL. He named the
country Snowland. He did not remain
long, but on his return so extolled the
country that one Garder Snafarfn, a
Swede, sailed quite around the island
i'll 1854 and gave it the name of Garder's
island. In the following spring he re-
turned to Norway, when he described
the country as being pleasant and richly
wooded. This excited Floke, another
Swede, to undertake another voyage
thither, and he staid there the whole
winter. He described it as a wretched
place, and because he found a great deal
of ice on the north side he gave the
country the name of Iceland. The island
was finally settled by Ingolfr in 874,
within 60 years of which date the whole
island was inhabited.

INDOOR LIGHTS.
How Japanese Lanterns and Electricity
Are Used With Good Effect.

How Japanese Lanterns and Electricity
Are Used With Good Effect.
The luxurious and lucky country
house owners who enjoy the privileges
Of electricity have all their table light
now shed from above-the green cleo
trio wires dropped from the ceiling over
one table and ending in a globe CT glass
containing the lights. Upon this globe
fits casing Of rosy silk and a network
of gilt cords, from which, just above
the center of the board, hangs an aero
naut's basket of gilded wicker filled not
with miniature balloonists, but flowers
the cloth.
japanese lanterns are also suspended
from the ceiling by cords or to wall
brackets with protruding arms.
These lanterns are a trifle more ex-
pensive than the cheap ones used in
outdoor illumination. They are made
of paper, decorated as formerly, but are
lined with mica, and the candle socket
in fact, the entire bottom-is made
of painted tin.
Hung in the Railways along the
stairs, in the drawing room or where
ever very mild light is needed, these
lanterns are delightful The candles
within them are cheap, throw out
minimum of heat, and do not attract
insects all of which are high recon-
mendations for service on warm even
ings. Attention and consequently vast
Improvement has been given to the
humble bedroom candle we are all adj
vised to use in place of gas or lamps,
when the mercury climbs very high,
and instead Of turning on the gas one
will be enabled to read music at the
piano by cool candlelight.
For the piano, too, light brackets,
easily fastened to any instrument, jut
out from either side of the music rack
and hold a candle each. Their shades
are made Of silk Oh strong frames and
are cut open Oh that side turned toward
the music sheet, but away from the
musician.
Under the silk screen is also fastened
small reflector, so distributing light
and shade where it is needed. The bed
room candles, which fasten into brack-
cts at either side the dressing table mir
ror, are similarly equipped, throwing
broad rays on the looking glass, but
shadows into the room.
