Good Times for Iceland.

Iceland was n of the poorest coun
tries in the world before the war, but
1t has made great wealth during the
past year. Most of the fortunes have
been made by merchants exporting
fish, game, wool and hides to England
Such unprecedented sums have been
deposited in the banks of Reykjavik
that bankers do not know how to in.
vest their capital. Iceland has i'm.
ported great quantities Of United
States goods during the war, but these
have come through other countries,
Icelanders now want direct steamship
communications with the United
States to promote reciprocal trade.
Plans have been made for a steamship
service between Reykjavik and Boston.
Icelandic business interests are anx.
ious for the appointment of a regular
salaried United States consul. Great
Britain and France are the only gov
ernments at present represented Is
Iceland by salaried consuls.

BIRDS SEEN WITH TELESCOPE
We Can Hear Calls Of Migrants That
Are Above Ordinary Vision
How Sound Travels.

September 80, 1894, an astronomer
at Shere, England, was studying the
sun through a telescope. Every few
seconds during the ten minutes he
watched a bird was seen to pass slow
ly through his field flying III a south
erly direction; but with the naked
eye not G. bird could be seen.
Our ears really tell us more than
our unaided eyes about the day fly
ers which are travelling far up In the
sky. With nothing to turn them from
their course, sound waves carry sur
prising distances either up from the
earth or down to it.
Balloonists tell us how clearly they
can hear voices Of people who are
scarcely visible to them. So we may
hear the notes of passing birds which
are travelling at too great a height to
be The mellow whistles of Ger
tain snipe and plover tell us that they
are passing along the birds airline
when it is impossible for us to see
them. But II we answer, we may in
time see a black speck in the sky
which responds to our call and finally
circles close overhead.
On n occasion in Central park, New
York city, l heard the futelike call of
a yellowleg snipe, which was migrat-
ing high W. the city. Perhaps he
was calling to some companion in the
sky. Certainly, there was nothing on
the earth to attract him. But, putting
my fingers to my lips, / whistled a
loud imitation of his notes. Quickly
he answered. l whistled again, and
soon could see a black dot circling
high above me. Larger and larger it
grew. louder and more frequent be-
came his cry, and within a minute,
much to the surprise of %passersby, the
bird was flying anxiously back and
forth just owe my head. But, unable
to find the bird which had called to
him, he soon mounted high in the air
and continued his journey.-Frank M
Chapman in st. Nicholas.

PuIimans for Dormitories.

Some of the students of Blackburn
college, C~arlinville, Pa, are to have
novel dormitories. Two Pullman
coaches have been obtained by Ir
William M. Hudson, president of The
college, and soon forty or fifty stu
dents will take up their quarters n
them.
The scheme was planned to give re
lief to the congestion in the student
quarters, which had been a cause Of
anxiety to officers of the college. The
students r delighted with the idea
particularly as the Pullmans will moi
cost them more than room in the regu
lar dormitories.

Is Any Sense to This New
Science, So-CaIIed.

"Put out your. tongue" is a phrase
associated in most peoples minds with
doctors, and is usually reminiscent OF
minor ailments and nasty medicines;
spoken by a g~lossomancist, however,
the curt command takes On an alto.
gether different significance.
A glossomancist, it may be as well
to explain, is a professor of glosso.
NANCY, a new science which consists
in reading peoples characters by the
shape and size of their tongues.
Thus, according to its ~votaries, the
possessor of a short and broad tongue
Is apt to be untruthful as to words,
and unreliable as to deeds. A long
tongue moderately pointed, denotes
frankness, end a loving, trustful, af.
~fectionate disposition. When the
tongue is long and broad, however, it
is a sign that the owner is shallow
and superficial and also a great talk
er. The typical woman gossip, say
glossomancists, almost always shows
this shape OF tongue.
The small round tongue, plump. and
in shape like an oyster, denotes medi.
OGRE abilities, and a nature that is
commonplace and colorless. A short
narrow tongue goes with a nature that
is at once quick-tempered and yet af.
~fecticnate, strong and sudden in hate
as in love.
The worst type of tongue is the
long, narrow, sinuous kind, what CLOS.
somancists call the snake tongue
It's ~possessors are likely to be cruel
sly, vindictive and very deceitful.

Ticks and Prices

washington, ~. w., Aug. 10.
The average value of beef cattle
over two years old in 10 tick-in-
tested states-North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Florida, Oklahoml and Texas
was $25. 90 on Jan. l. 1915. For
the remainder of the country on
that date it was $48. AZ. Ia Flor
ida and Georgia the average price
was $18. in Alabama $40, in Mis-
sissippi $22, in Louisiana $24. In
every tick free state. with the
exception of Vermont and Ten
nessee, the average value was
$40 or more and in Is the average
was over $50.
There are two reasons why
cattle in a ticky country are
worth less than in a tlck-'ree
one. They weigh less and bring
less per pound. They bring less
because they cannot be sold on
the open market, but must be
disposed of in quarantine lens
for immediate slaughter only.
Experienced dealers estimate
that buyers offer from so cents
to So a hundred weight less for
cattle from below the quarantine
line and the owner, who cannot
transship his herd to another
market or sell the animals as
feeders, is in no position to stand
1T for a better price.
Ticky cattle weigh less because
they are scrubs to begin with
and because the tick sucks the
blood they need to make flesh.
Experiments have shown that
when the ticks are abundant they
will take in the course OF the
year 200 pounds of blood from a
thousand pound steer. They
don't take it all at once, of
course, but they take it never
theless and the steer, in order to
live, has to make new blood.
While he is busy at that, he is
not likely to put on much weight.
Fattening ticky steers is like
trying to keep a leaky barrel full
there is a lot of waste in the
process.
Furthermore, as all cattlemen
know, there is more money IN
grade stock than in scrubs. Else
where in the country farmers are
turning their attention to grading
up their herds, to securing anil
mails that will respond to good
treatment and feed; in the tick
infested sections Of the south this
has been impossible, for no one
will risk bringing pure bred bulls.
into a ticky county to die from
Texas fever.
Both directly and indirectly,
therefore, the tick keeps down
the weight Of southern cattle and
the eradication of the pest is es-
sential if the southern beef pro-
Queer is to compete on even
terms with producers elsewhere.
The matter is as vital to the small
farmer as to the large cattle
owner. Students of agriculture
are all agreed that the average
southern farm tOGay mas 100 little
stock upon it for its own good.
The reason is obvious. Under
the conditions created by the
tick, cattle raising is not a suf-
Fl GENTLY attractive industry to
appeal to the average man.
w t tout the tick, the business
assumes different aspect. This
has been ab~undantly dem n
strated in those sections in which
the tick has been eradicated.
Almost invariably the ticks dis
appearance is accompanied by
an increase in the quantity and
an Improvement in the quality of
