who with the usual curiosity of
youngsters are always invest1-

their investigations led them
into a most exciting condition of
affairs and nearly led Mrs. Sykes
into nervous proStration. 1t all
began when the two boys dis
covered a huge deer head, hang
ing in the SykeS'S dining room
and decided promptly to get
their toy lariats and try to rope
it. Unkappily their aim was very
poor and instead Of the head
of the deer. they 1oped an ex-
quisite crystal wall bracket and
pulled the entire thing to bits
on the dining room floor. The
financial damage was rather
large and we understand that
the lecture to the two youngsters
was even larger!

Iceland Portroys Its Geysers on Postoqe

RUGGED, pitted Iceland is one
 of the most volcanic regions on the entire earth. Volcanic ac- tivity has been going on almost continuously from the formation of the land in the time e-dimmed Tertiary period to the present. There are I07 known volcanoes in Iceland together with thousands of craters.
 But the most spectacular evil dence of this vulcanism today arc 1celand's. hot springs and geysers. Hot springs arc found in every part of Iceland, both singly and in groups. Sulphur springs and boiling mud lakes dot the country, and in places there arc carbonic acid springs.
 Great Geyser is the giant of them all. After being inactive since 1916, suddenly in 1885 it re- newed it's magnificent displays, shooting hundreds of tons of water l50 feet into the air. Today resi- dents of Reykjavik contemplate harnessing the Great Geyser and other hot springs to heat the capi- tai city. Already many buildings are thus heated, hot water swim ming pools provided.
 One Of lceland's great geysers is shown above on one of our current stamps portraying them.
