which led to his resignation from
that faculty In 1908 and the consequent
formation of new theological faculty
independent Of the university. is still
fresh In the minds of the Morse peo-
pie on both sides Of the sea, Some
time ago he retired from the new
theological faculty - Menigedsfakul-
tetet, as it was called-and since then
has been without a position. This re-
suited in general demand that he be
again given a position In the faculty

professorship In ancient theological

will In all probability be granted by
the university authorities.
There Is curious side angle to the
contract made with England to sell
the fish catch of this year to England.
Those who have fish to sell manage to
get very big price for their goods
from England. The poor people In
Norway who have to buy fish for their
own use did not like the arrangement
a bit, for 1t made fish food very ex-
pensive to them. And SO the govern
ment stepped In and bought fish as
| cheaply as possible and sold it a tritie
below cost to the consumers. Among
| those consumers are often the fisher
men who sell their fish to England, fol-
the price asked by the government Is
| lower than what the representatives
of England offer on the fishing grounds

Iceland, says an exchange, is known
rs a land Of contrasts" The land
Of Iceland boasts in comparatively
small compass fire and ice, volcanoes,
glaciers and geysers. There is mag
nificent scenery in its desolate pla-
teaus. 1t has more than 100 volcanoes,
of which the largest Is Hecla, $500
feet high, There are thousands of
craters in Iceland, the chief among
them being Askya, with an area of
"a square miles. OF glaciers there
are more than 100, with aggregate
areas of about $500 square miles. The
largest Is Vatna. Not far from Hecla
Is the so-calIed geyser region, where
there are many hot springs. The
Great geySer is GO feet in diameter
One geyser was found to have water at
| IA temperature Of 2S2 degrees f., which
| makes it possibly the hottest spring
In the world. One-elghth of Iceland is
| glacier hidden and there are ice-Clad
mountain domes, of which the highest
| is Oraeta jokull, G,424 feet There are
not many settlements in Iceland. The
capital Is Reykjavik, with a population
| of II 1000. and after that the two chief
towns are Akureyi, 1850. and Isafiord,
1850 inhabitants. The people of Ice
| land are described as unusually intel
| ligent, and one authority states that
perhaps In no other country Of Eu-
| rope are so many books in proportion
to the population printed and sold as
In Iceland"

| Danish steamer has rescued the crew,
