estimated that in proportion to les population more books and paper are printed and read in this partly frozen
 island than in any country of contin- ental Europe.
 When the Scandinavian sea rovers discovered Iceland about the middle
 of the ninth century they found a
 small colony of Irish Culdees in pos-
 session. During the succeeding cen
 tury and a half there was a strong
 wave of migration to the bleak is
 land and in addition to the Morse mo-
 bles and the vikings there came Queen
 Aud, widow of Olaf the White, king
 of Dublin, and numerous followers.
 Trade with the island underwent
 many cycles in succeeding centuries,
 being confined first to Norway. then
 with the smuggling merchants of
 Bristol, England, and later the Han
 seattle towns of Germany. Finally Denmark established a governmental
 monopoly which was in force until
 17S6 when all Danish subjects were permitted to enjoy trade relations.
 The island was opened to all nation alities in 1851. and 20 years later, when the Danes granted local government to the Icelanders, conercial life re- ceived strong impetus.
 The chief industries of Iceland are cattle breeding and fishing, the lat ter activity having had a. remarkable growth in the last few years. Her ring, which constituted the sole cargo of the ship which arrived in New York recently, is one of the principal products of the neighboring seas, but cod and train oil and the salmon fish, cries are also considerable. Other exports are live sheep, salt meat, cider down, wool, and hides. Imports in clude salt, metal ware, coal and var ioUs manufactured articles. Owing to tho long winters, which are ex- TraT1oa bn icIa 1do find pie time to devote to spinning, weav- ing and knitting at home and the tweed wiic they make is the chief
 material used for clothing. Tourists, however, find oilskins invaluable as
 the climate Is extra ordinarily damp in the southern half of the island, where the capital and principal city, Reyk- javik, is situated (population about
 2,OO0).
 Many Icelanders emigrated to
 America from 1872 to 1900. and sev- eral colonies have been established in ' Manitoba, but during the last decade there has been a decided tendency to stay at home. Under it's own legisla- ture (A1thing), which has 34 members | elected by household suffrage and six appointed by the king of Denmark, l the island Is apparently prospering, for l there is no public debt, and no con- 1 tribution is required for military or
 naval purposes. The import taxes are few-on tobacco, sugar, coffee and | spirits-and these are not burden some. All higher education is free The annual expenses of the govern
 ment do not exceed SITS, ,000.
 With a length of nearly 300 miles, and a width slightly under 200 miles l there are no railroads on the island, l and practically all transportation is confined to horseback. the trails being | narrow and rough. The habitable re- gions of the country are practically confined to the lOwlands, which en- 1 brace not more than one-fourteenth | of the total area

TRADE WITH ICELAND.
Most of Its Business Is Done With Denmark-First Vessel To Arrive Here In Years.
Especial to The Bullein.)

Washington, D. C.. Oct. 20-fWhile considerable interest was manifested in the arrival of an Icelandic vessel in the harbor of New York recently the importance of the event was sen timental rather than comercial," says 8 bulletin issued by the National Geo. graphic Society. "A hearty welcome was extended to the islanders whose home is on the fringe of the Arctic circle, but the cordiality of their re- ception was due to the fact that their vessel was one of the few to arrive in this country from that land since the days Of Jeff the Lucky, and not to any high expectations of trade possibili- ties, for Iceland with it's more than 10000 square miles and a scant pop ulation of scarcely more than two persons to the mile, sends most of her meager exports, valued at S4.000,000 q year, to Denmark, and also buys most of her imports from that mother coun- try.
 The fact that Iceland is so seldom visited by tourists and is almost a terra incognito' to American traders has caused. a. false impression to ob- tain in this country concerning it's sombre but on the whole highly in- telligent people. Indeed, 1t has been
