Of long duration, the prime conditions
of human life are more than anywhere
else warmth and light" They are
the basis of existence for the inhabi-
tants of those regions. and upon them
depends the development of the coun-
try. From the partial lack of these
fundamental necessities Iceland. which
is settled by about 10000 people. has
already suffered, and country rich in
many respects remains unimpDvpd.
But, besides an untold wealth of MN
erals Iceland possesses another treas
IRE which still remains unemployed.
There are three gigantic waterfalls,
the Sulifors, the Gudafors and the Al
larfors The power of any of these
three falls is, according to recent cal
culations. superior to any waterfall n
Europe, and can be compared only to
Niagara. Since the enormous power
has been ascer,ained gigantic project
has been proposed to the authorities,
providing for the employment of the
enormous water power for the light
ing by electricity of the entire island.
and for the lighting and heating of all
the dwellings in the inhabited districts.
For the commercial development of
Iceland particularly for the eXplora-
ton of the enormous ore deposits, the
use Of electrical power would also be
Of the utmost importance, since It
could be furnished at very small
cost by the rational use of the three
gigantic falls.

DANGEROUS SEA ANIMALS.
The Nautilus. While Beautiful, should
he Carefully Avoided.

c. +. Holder gives an interesting ac-
count of his experience with the phy-
salia, the nautilus-like denizen of
southern waters, which floats on the
surface with its trailing fishing-lines
extending far below. The balloon, or
foat. is from two to five or six inches
in length: a delicate sack filed with
air aud tinted with many beautiful
hues. among which purple, pearl and
pink predominant. one end is elongated
like a finger. and along the dorsal sur
face extends ruffle, which can be
raised at will. and becomes a perfect
sail. rich tinted in red, yellow, pink
and silver. When the animal is at
rest the membrane is furled; at other
times Ii is raised two or three inches,
and, catching the wind, drags the ten
tacles al an angle of 40 degrees to the
surface of the water. There are pur-
pie, hair-like objects, which look very
beautiful, as crinkled and curly, they
drift through the water But woe TO
the unfortunate fish which. attracted
by their bright appearance touches
them. He is instantly inclosed by the
tentacles and stung to death with
thousand darts. The tentacles are
covered with minute bombs, resemb-
ling an elongated capsule, in the in.

But this is not the entire armament
Of the physala. The coiled dart or
lasso floats in liquid poison of great
power. of the effect of which Mr. Hot
der speaks from personal experience.
He was swimming in five feet of wa

Of large physalia. The sensation as
the purple threads wound round the
abdomen and thigh was of molten met

the shock was SO great that he had to

with cloths, and then with knives. and
finally a razor was used The flesh

The case became alarming. and ia

symptom of the shock was an ohSti-

completely healed and even twelve
months after the flesh had the appear

Here are some extracts from the al
vice that Ami. an Egyptian scribe, gave
his son in the thirteenth century be-
fore Christ:
IF man cometh to thee for coun-
sci. let this drive thee to books for IN
forma ton"
Consider what hath been: set be-
fore thee n correct rule of life as an
example to follow. The messenger of
death will come to thee as to all 9th
ers to carry thee away; yea, he stand
eth ready"
Take heed with all diligence that
thou woundest no man with thy
words"
The man who, having received
much giveth little, is as one who com
mitteth an injury"
whatsoever speaketh evil receiveth
no good"
when thou hast arrived at years of
maturity and art married and hast a
house, forget never the pains which
thou hast cost thy mother nor the care
which she has bestowed upon thee.
lest she lift up her hands to God IN
heaven. and lie listen TO her com
plant"

HOW ARE YOUR KEYS?
Condition of Them Test of Mans
Temperament.

TITS all a matter of Temperament"
said the good-natured man. 1T is just
as easy 10 avoid trouble with men as
to get Into tiff you know how. Some
men are well balanced nervously and
that's why they're easy to get along
with. You sometimes think it's you
that does it, but it isn't 1t takes two
persons to quarrel. All you've got to
do if you're philosopher in search
of peace, is to find out the tempera-
ment of your man and act according
ly.
Eyes, bless you, there are a hundred
ways of telling mans temperament,
but the physiological signs are not al
ways exact. Men of strong natures
disguise their true characteristics of
tener than you think, and you are like
ly to be fooled

ing the temperament of my man that

attribute. and often productive Of
great good. but that man is likely to
be haSty and If you do not know HIM
you are into an alteration in spite OF
yourself
why are his keys rusty? I'll tell
you. such man perspires constantly.
! don't mean that he perspires percep-
tibly. but that his skin Is always
warm and moist this moisture perme-
ates his clothing and affects the keys
in his pocket, which soon become
rusty. 1t is as unfailing a sign of a
mans temperament as his face is of
ten a complete mask
"Now for the man with the shining
keys on which there is not a speck of
rust. He is deliberate. slow of thought
and speech. You cannot quarrel with
him because he must think it over. and
meantime you have had time to think
it over and so you part friends. His
skin is cool and dry always"
With that the good natured man eX-
hibited his keys they were as bright
as when first made. The other man
took out his keys; not one that was
not rusted. In this instance at least
the sign had come true, for the man of
the rusty keys was exactly in tempera
ment as the other had said he should
