DEN MARK.

Even Iceland, that island of dreams
and legends, is waking up to the
chance Of becoming IN industrial coun-
try. The Jokulsaa, a river i'll eastern
Iceland, rises in the wild Vatna jOk ul
mountain. An English engineer found
volcanic sand at the bottom of the
river, and he came to the conclusion
that there must be large deposits Of
this material at it's mouth. Behring'S
soon proved that he was right. The
sand was found to contain from % to
25 per cent Of iron. 1t was calculated
that it would pay to dry this sand
and extract the iron particles from it
by means of electricity. There is an
other river close by, the Lagarhjot.
This does not carry iron ore. But it's
falls can furnish 100000 horsepower,
which may be used for taking the iron
out of the deposits at the mouth of
the other river. Even the ancient
sages mentioned the iron mud of this
river, but at that time people had no
idea that it was iron. English capital
lists are going to furnish the necessary
capital for building an extracting plant
which will cost about $5,00O,000; but
the promoters claim that still more
money may be obtained, the success
Of the enterprise being beyond doubt.
An Icelandic merchant, Thorarinn B.
Gudmundson, who is at the head Of
the concern, has obtained a concession
from the government to build the plant
and run IT for so years.
Many boards of directors Of savings
banks in Denmark are self-perpetuat-
ting. A bill was introduced in the rigs
dag to permit outsiders to take part
in the election of new directors to fill
vacancies. The supporters of the bill
asserted that the system Of self-per-
petuation is antiquated. A friend of
this system retorted that no embezzle-
ment has taken place in Danish banks
of this "antiquated" type.
