Iceland's Contrasts and Contradictions Marked In many ways Iceland la an Island of contrast and contradictions. It Is bathed on the south nqd west coasts by the warm Gulf stream and os tho north coast by the cold Arctic current. I ho climate Is relatively nilld, notes a correspondent in the Chicago .Tribune, but shows great variation between localities, depeixllog partly on elevation and partly ou the nearness of the Gulf stream. Three fourths of the Island Is unInhabit able and only one-fourteenth of It consists of lowland, where most of the Inhabitants live. Thirteen per cent of It Is covered by glaciers. It bus 107 volcanoes with thousands of craters, and about 11 per cent of Its area Is covered with lava beds which were formed by streams which Issued forth from the depths since the great Ice age. At times parts of the Island are submitted to olouds of pumice dust and drift sand. The winds are violent, The streams are many and turbulent and Inclined to change their beds. Iho Island has a good supply of hot springs and geysers. Iceland must Import Its timber and coal, Iron and uietul ware, cereals, coffee, sugur and tobacco, but signs are present In unmistakable number that there were extensive forests on the Island In Its early history. These, however, have not given rise to coal beds, but only to deposits of lignite. Beneath Its lava beds the rocks bear signs of glaclul scratching. Butterflies* Scales Are Outlet for Scent Glands In addition to the ordinary scales, the males of many butterflies possess special additional scales, smaller than the others, which have been called plumules, pattldore scales or Cendroscoma. Sometimes they are scattered among and hidden under the ordinary scales, but they are frequently placed In masses, on a particular part of the wing, and covered by large overlapping scales. They are genet-ally colorless, but sometimes black or brown. Not Infrequently they nre concealed In n pocket, or fold, of the jvlng. They are generally longer and softer than the ordinary scnles, and evidently serve as outlets for scent glands In the tissue of the wings. The scales are considered to be modified hairs, and consist of double-walled closed sacs, whi-h afterward flatten out, and are striated. The color of the wings of the Insect is partly due to pigment contained In those sacs, and partly, especially In the case of shot or lrridescent tints, to li e refraction of light from the striated scales of the wings. Old Universities The University of Santo Toinas at Manila, Philippine islands, is the oldest Institution of learning In territory under the Jurisdiction of the American flag. It was established in 1011 by Dominican missionaries, and has been operated continuously under Catholic auspices. Harvard university, founded In 1030, has been operated continuously longer than any other Institution of learm. g in the continental United States. The college of William and Mary, founded at Williamsburg, Ya., In 1003, Is regarded as the second oldest and the third on soil under the Jurisdiction of the United States, although college activities at William and Mary were suspended for several years during the Revolutionary and Civil warr. Yale university, established in 1702, comes next. Man Benefited by Insects All Insects are not destructive. A great number of them are beneficial by aiding man against the kinds that destroy. Among these are the ladybird beetles, whose larvae feed on plant lice, the golden-eyed lace wing fly, and the syrphld flies, whose larvae ilso feed on plant lice. The larvae of the tachlnid flies (which look much like overgrown house flies) help to control many serious moth pests. Ichneumon wasps, so tiny as never to be noticed with the naked eye, or so strong that they can force their eggs into almost three Inches of maple wood, help to control various borers.? Detroit jtaree Press. Valuable Wood* Certain kinds of mahogany are much sought after. The finest mahogany forests In the world belong to Oba, king of Benin, in west Africa. Occasionally a single tree with an exceptionally fine mottle is found. This may fetch as much as ?2,000 In the open market In Liverpool. But there may be only one specimen of its kind In 10,000 trees. Teak and sandal wood always fetch good prices; teak on account of its durability and Immunity from white ants, and sandal wood because of Its natural fascinating aroma.? Tit-Bits Magazine. Shell-Fish That Spins Silk The pinna, a genus of shell fish In the Mediterranean sea. Is one of the few aquatftr^ animals that spin silk. Years ago In Italy, this materia) was woven into cloth and used rather extensively In the manufacture of stockings Pope Benedict XV wore a pair of them.?Collier's Weekly. Stippling Effective The application of paint to room walls by "sponge stippling" Is a method used by Interior decorators to achteve pleasing results. A rough or patched wall Is decidedly Improved by sponge stippling and the dnei |t ^ . of patterned richness. -n Hunting Leopard Tamed Pet Since Egyptian* The cheetah or bunting leopurd, although a inembor of tlui cat family, the large mem here of wftich uro notoriously treacherous, was nevertheless one of the earliest seml-doiiiebtlcntod animals and pots of man, auya the Field Museum News. Ancient records and pictures show that Cleopatra had cheetahs fur pets and played with them holdly, and that the Romans ami ptlans lod them like dogs, on leashes, and used them for hunting game. The cheetah differs greatly from other members of the cut family. It has long legs and dngliko feet with non-retractile claws. Hecau.se of Its amazing aimed It la often referred to an the "greyhound of tho cats." It Illustrates the principle of evolution that animals which run fast tend to reduce their toes and claws, as exemplified so strikingly in the horse, which in prehistoric times hud four, then throe toes, ami has gradually evolvod Into the one toed or hoofed unltnul. The eheolnh is a native of Africa, India and south western Asia. The cheetah has a slender, lithe body, and is extremely skillful In stalking animals upon which It preys. Cheetahs ure tamed by natives of Indiu, who use them In hunting antelope. They become qulto attached to their masters, but one cannot bo too certain of their affections. Wheu used for hunting they are carried blindfolded to the vicinity of the game, to prevent them from starting off too soon. When the gume is sighted the bandages are removed, and the cheetahs rush with Incredible swiftness upon their victims. Jungle Cock Wild Daddy of "Home-Grown" Chicken The Jungle cock is the ?wlld original of our domestic chickens, states a writer In the Montreal Herald. Our poultry is little changed from the native stock that Is still crowing and clucking In the forests from northern India and Burma to the Malay peninsula and the 'Philippine Islands. The wild Jungle cock is a splendid example of the pheasant family of the East, though lacking the long gorgeous tall of the more typical pheasants. The hen Is a trim little creature with a lilac sheen on her brown coat, so that she looks like a well-kept bantam. 'Picture to yourself a black rodbreasted game-cock, and you have the male bird in all his glory, except that his tail droops; therefore In our fighting "game" breeds wo have fowls the leust changed, becauso In this case the object of breeders has not b<?en more eggs or better flesh, but simply to strengthen the natural pugnacity and spur-equipment of the native race. This has b.een carried to perfection In tropical America, where the cock-fighting is the national sport In the countries between Mexico and Argentina. Not What They Seem Cork legs are not made of cork. They are made of wood, metal, leather, or strong canvas; they were Invented by Doctor Cork. Hackney coaches are not so called because they were first made In Hackney, London. The word come? from the French "ITaquenee," meaning an ambling horso. Brier pipes are not made from the root of the sweet briar. The name Is derived from the French "Bruyere," meaning heath. A laughing Jackass Is not an animal; It Is a bird. Cinderella did not wear a glass slipper. She wore a fur slipper, but the original French wqrds were "Pantoufle en valr," and the sound was mistaken for "Pantoufle en verre"; thus "fur" was i changed to "glass."?Montreal Herald, j Grecian Legend Idmo, the dyer, had a daughter so clever at spinning that she could outspin anyone else In Greece. At last she grew so proud of her skill that she challenged the goddess Athene to a test of skill In spinning. Athene, angry that any mortal should be so presumptuous, accepted the challenge, but soon she showed that so human being was a match for her, and, havIng thoroughly beaten her In skill, she turned the daring mortal Into a spider that still works busily spinning, spinning webs on tho bushes. Arachne was the name of Athene's poor mortal rival, And In the Latin name of the spiders that name Is still kept ts rsmind us of the legend. Guard U. S. Mints The law requires an annual sxamlaation of the United States mints and essay offices. The books must be examined at least once a year, and an Inventory made of all the gold coin and bullion.

Elliott W. Springs, president of tho Lancaster Cotton Mills, )ms generously come to the assistance of depositors of the defunct Savings Hunk of Fort Mill this week. Monday morning a notice was posted ut the local postoffice, signed by ('apt. Springs, in which it was stated that he would "advance 60 per cent of the net amount on deposit up to $250." The notice further stated that "there will bo no interest charged on the amounts so advanced ami upon repayment of tho advance by the conservator of the bank the claim will be released. Please understand that this is not a purchase of your claim against the bunk, but merely an offer to make an advance against it secured by tho total deposit." Since Monday morning a large number of depositors have taken advantage of the offer of ('apt. Springs, which will prove especially helpful at this season of the year to many who were left high and dry in the closing of the Savings Hank on August 10th, last. Payments of the 50 per cent advance have been made at the office of the Springs mills in the upper section of town since Monday morning and will continue to be made through Saturday of this week, it stated. The total amount advanced has run well into the thousands. Monday afternoon a large number of Fort Mill citizens signed a letter uddresscd to Capt. Springs thanking him for his generosity and interest in the welfare of tho community.? Fort Mill Times, Nov. 15th. Tho course of Governor Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, in the recent campaign offers food for a study of human nature. Governor Pinchot has always been progressive in his views, and was one of the few leaders of prominence to jump the reservation with ex-President Theodore Roosevelt. Throughout the years he has been liberal in his political views and attitudes, and two years ago while running as a Progressive Republican endorsed Franklin 1). Roosevelt and wftfi" elected Governor of Pennsylvania, and after Roosevelt announced his policies fell loyally into line for the New Deal. It was slightly surprising, therefore, when Mr. Pinchot a few weeks ngo threw himself on the side of Senator David A. Reed, ( one of the out-standing stand-pat Re- j publicans and inveterate foe of the New Deal. The explanation may be, in the fact that Guffey, the victorious j Democratic opponent of Reed, is one of the old-line, machine Democrats with which most of the big cities in the North are infested, about as far removed in reality from being a New Deal advocate as day is from night' and North is from South, and Governor Pinchot was merely choosing what he regarded as the lesser of two evils.?Chester Reporter.
