NOT NEARLL ZERO WEATHER.
A Native of Iceland Says His Country
 Is Misnamed.

From the New York Sun.
 In the recent cold snap a downtown printer had occasion to send for an engi- neer to repair one of his dynamos. The engineer came. He wore a big overcoat, heavy gloves and a mufher. Notwith- standing all these, he complained of the cold. The printer couldn't understand 1t, especially when he learned the engineer s name.
 Why I should think a Norwegian like you wouldn't think anything of a little cold weather like this" remarked the printer, jocularly.
 T am from Iceland" said the engineer and if you want a few facts to convince you that 1t is badly misnamed country, I'll give them to you.
 'The mean temperature in Iceland for the last twenty years compiled by the weather bureau of Reykjavlk, are as fol- lows: Spring, 394; summer, 5354; au- tumn, 37.94; winter, 29.1S. This is Fahren- heit Moreover, the thermometer has not been anywhere near zero In my country since 1882, when 1t struck below"

Photoaraphed His Funeral.
St. James Gazette.

From the St. James Gazette
 Sir Benjamin Stone, who Is sending a collection of his parliamentary photo graphs to the St.. Louis exposition, has the finest assortment of views of little known London. Camera and he have gone all round the world together, but that Is the case in every globe trotter's story. Where he beats us all Is in getting ex- posures of places that we all ought to know but do not. There Is scarce an inch of the houses of parliament which he has not photographed, and not a member of note in either house of whom he has not got negative. He is the despair and admiration of the amateur and profes- sional photographer alike. Photography Is his pet pursuit. He is a devoted parli- amentarian, and may always be relied

He is industrious enough to deserve success. During the recent re- cess he attended his funeral in the High lands. He was only there as photogra. pher; the funeral had been organized fol his benefit There was no corpse.
