listlessly.
Poor child, she cried little over
the note. because the subject brought
back the remembrance OF her sorrow
again. but her tears did not last long:
indeed, she had wept so violently dur

seemed to be almost exhausted now.

Iceland Is not by any means SO for
bidding a country as its name implies;
1t is no more a land of ice than Green
land is land of verdure, says an ex-
change. 1t is not nearly so cold as
many places In the United States, not
to mention the Canadian dominion
The so and so degrees below zero reg
istered every winter in the Northwest
territory and Asslniboia. and even the
30 and 40 below experienced in Mon
tana and North Dakota, are unheard
o: in Iceland. Neither is the other ex-
treme OF great heat felt, such as these
very regions in North America en-
dure, No Icelander knows what a
temperature OF 100 in the shade Is.
There are no sudden fluctuations or
great changes; the climate is remark
ably equable. variation of 80 de-
grees in month is probably not on
record in the island. The equableness
is due, of course, to the same cause
that produces a similar effect in the
British isles-the gulf stream. This
great ocean current washes the south
ern and western shores OF Iceland, in
surfing mild winter and balmy sum-
mer. There are glaciers. but they
form no icebergs. The sea around the
island is never frozen. nor. indeed. is
any floating ice seen save on rare oc-
casions on the northern coast. Now
and then in summer prolonged storms
will carry floating ice across from the
Greenland coast and drive II upon the
with cold fog and rain. In this way
polar bears are also sometimes landed
on the island. On the other hand. the
winters are so mild that thunder
storms often occur. In fact, most of
the thunder storms in Iceland are In
the winter months.
