OF old IceIandic hooks.

The University of North Dakota has
added to its Scandinavian library an
almost priceless collection of ancient
Icelandic literature. The books are
written in good red blood, and, though
over 300 years Old, the letters still are
clear and plain. They are not written
in human blood but in OK blood, which
was the only ink in the early times in
Iceland. The books are bound in rough
strips of beechwood, re-enforced with
brass and copper clasps.
The paper is faded and brown, but
the curious old Morse letters, carefully
penned with good gray goose quill,
are still clear and distinct, although
the bright crimson of the blood is some
what dimmed. These volumes are on
religious subjects and consist of
psalms, Bible verses and spiritual
teachings.
These curious old Icelandic books
are part of a collection of over 1900
volumes of Icelandic, Danish, Norwe-
gian and Swedish literature, in large
part donated by the Scandlnavians of
the State, although some of them were
purchased in Norway and Sweden with
money voted by the trustees of the uni
versity.
Except at Cornell there is not such
another collection of books on this con-
tinent.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

CEDAR FOR LEAD PENCILS.
Suitable Wood Now Bought by the
Pound and Growing Scarcer
Each Year.

The lead pencil is one of the most
common articles in everyday use, and
nearly 100000, 900 pencils are manu-
featured in this country every year
To manufacture these millions of pen.
ellis there are required 10000 tons,
or 100000 cubic feet, of wood so
that each day in the year 500 tons,
or 10000 cubic feet, of wood are used
for pencils. Since practically all OF
the wood is red cedar. and since the
pencil industry is steadily growing,
the supply of red cedar is greatly
depleted; yet no substitute has been
found for it, Leaving out of eonsid-
Grafton the imported pencils. the av-
erage educated American over Ten
years of age uses six pencils of home
manufacture each year Ten years
ago he used less than five
Red cedar has a soft. straight grain,
and when grown under best condi-
tons it is very free from defects. Be-
cause OF its peculiar qualities no
equally good substitute for it has
ever been found, and 1t is doubtful
if any other wood using industry is
so dependent upon a single species
as the pencil industry is dependent
upon red cedar In fact. red cedar
suitable for pencil mar fracture is the
only wood the price of which is al
ways quoted by the pound.
Strange as it may seem, no steps
have heretofore been taken to pro-
vide for future supply of red cedar.
This has been largely due to a lack
of information on the rate of growth
and the habits of the tree, and to the
widespread belief that second growth
red cedar never reaches merchantable
size.
In accordance with its policy to-
ward the conservation and economic
use of commercial woods the forest
service has made a careful study ef
red cedar and has come to the
conclusion that it can profitably be
grown in regions of its development
Several changes are recommended in
present forest management in order
to secure the desired growth In the
Southern forests the cedar will have
to be given a better chance instead
of being considered, as now, neglig-
IDLE quantity in its younger stages,
and many of the forest grown trees
which are now cut for fence posts
can profitably be left to attain their
full development and thus become
available for pencil wood. Tribune
